ZERO MINUS ONE
Chapter Four
Admiral Nelson didn't know what to think while sitting in his lab with his favorite things from the ocean. He needed to speak with Commander Chip Morton by himself to try and set up a plan just in case of the obvious when it comes to being attacked by aliens.
He didn't want his submarine and personnel caught off guard by the timing of the event. He does know that the United States Government, along with all of the Alliance countries, including Russia, will be ready.
It was a bad time for him, as his wife Sylvia and her team were finishing up a project involving Nuclear Fusion and radiation-dampening fields in Russia.
They are supposed to be back within the week with the Russian security teams keeping a close eye on them, along with their own science officials at one of three reactor buildings 150 miles away.
His wife had a private transmitter in her quarters. She had been waiting for her husband to call her.
Admiral Harriman Nelson had the transmitter in the lab. He didn't need the radio shack to decode the message to Russia. Pulling out the transmitter from the back sector of the lab. He sat down with placed on his earphones before working on the smaller version of his radio.
Waiting for a moment to have it turned on with the proper code sequence to his wife's transmitter in her private quarters.
Sylvia had been tired after working a great many hours on the projects. She had taken a shower with her gray hair up in a bun after drying it with a white towel from the bathroom.
Sitting down on the queen-sized bed. She heard a beep coming from the hidden drawer in the bedroom. She had made sure that the blinds were closed along with all of the doors in her quarters.
She reached the hidden draw by pulling out the transmitter with switching on the decoder and scrambler. She didn't wish to have the Russians tap into her conversation with her husband Admiral Harriman Nelson.
Speaking in Partial Russian as she does on occasion to keep her husband off keel at times. "Harry, are you there?" she says in Russian before waiting for a response.
"Hell Sylvia, I am here. I am calling you to find out whether you and your team will be able to leave?" he asked in a very serious tone.
"Yes, we are Harriman. Our transport will be here tomorrow to take us out to meet the Seaview in the North Sea." She said with a slight cough in her throat.
"I don't think it's a good idea to fly to the Seaview?" he cried out over the transmitter.
"Why, Harriman?" she blurted out looking at the time on her gold and silver watch.
"I will explain the situation to you. Just get yourself and the team ready. I am going to be sending the two fly subs to pick you and the team flying under the radar while over Russia." He says calmly as he continues. "Listen, I need for you and the team to be careful with a possible attack by a rogue asteroid out in space that is possibly carrying aliens from another solar system."
"OMG! Does this have anything to do with the Lizard creatures abducting Captain Lee Crane a while back?" she had to ask with a hint of a growl.
"Yes, it does, Sylvia. This is why I need you and the team ready in 12 hours if possible. We will then bring you to the Nelson Institute for safekeeping until the crisis is over. Understand me, my wife?" he needed to know for sure.
"Yeah, I understand Harriman. I can't wait to get out of Russia. There is a great deal of tension going on with the Kremlin." She tells him.
"Why the tension in the first place?" he asked calmly for the most part when it comes to his wife's country.
With her shaking slightly. She tells him…."I haven't been able to find out why all of the tension. Even though myself and the team have finished all of our work with the science teams."
"Okay, Sylvia, I will get in contact with Commander Chip Morton and give him all of the details about the flight. Just don't let the team give away the information to anyone else?" he was very harsh with his tone.
"Understood, Harriman. See you soon, my dear." She will then say something in Russian for which he was able to understand some of what she was telling him.

ON BOARD THE SEA VIEW
"Is the Admiral out of his mind to perform something stupid like that Commander Morton?" Chief Francis Sharkey will blow out his frustration at the commander.
Commander Morton gave Chief Sharkey a dirty look. "Chief Sharkey, please reframe yourself from what you're been saying to me or I will place you into the brig. I need for you to have Kowalski, Ron, Patterson, and yourself to have both of the flying subs ready."
"And then bring them back to the Nelson Institute. This is where Security will be on high alert to protect the group until the Seaview gets back home." Morton needed to have said with Chief Sharkey getting ready to do his job like always with calling the men for the mission to ready the flying subs.
He was able to hear a chorus of voices over the mike. He turns to face Commander Morton with the following response. "Satisfied, Commander Morton?" he responded going over to the control panel that houses the two flying subs.
"Quite!" he turned to leave the missile to head back to the Control room with Captain Lee Crane still in Sickbay with a concussion.

Meanwhile….
Doctor Alverez having to be the Chief Medical Officer needed to have more tests done on the captain on whether or not he had damage to the brain after suffering from the hard concussion.
It was Admiral Nelson's orders for the doctor to do the final tests before making the decision to let the Captain go to his quarters.
