[size=small]Hidden Remains
Part 1
It had been in 15 years since Ocean Pioneer II sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean towards Brazil the remains of the ship had not been found and many had tried and many had failed. However now 2 scientists had a plan to travel and find the remains they were 73-year-old Roger a veteran professor who had experience in the Navy prior to being one of the top professors in the UK. Rodger was joined by his friend Eric who was one of the top doctors in the UK, the pair have been on many expeditions together in the last 40 to 50 years from their base in Dover England and now had set their sights on finding the remains of Ocean Pioneer II.
The pair had made plans for the last 3 years building up their dragonspy submarine which would help them to find Ocean Pioneer II. They had also interviewed one of the surviving crew members in Lieutenant Jensen who was rescued by International Rescue he gave the pair all the information they needed from his hospital bed suddenly a few days later he passed away. Both Rodger and Eric decided a few days after Jensen's funeral they would set off to find the remains of Ocean Pioneer II but there was one thing that the pair had not been told Lieutenant Jensen had developed amnesia following the injuries that he picked up 15 years ago go from being rescued and one thing that he had not told both Eric and Rodger was on board Ocean Pioneer II the ship it was carrying capitals of Liquid Alsterene which was a flammable liquid some Liquid Alsterene following the final explosion and sinking of Ocean Pioneer II had found it's way in and around the bottom of the ocean, destroying nearly everything causing many expeditions to end due to all the dangers but Eric and Rodger had not been made aware off that and they would set off for the Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of Friday morning.
The pair set off at 03:20 in the morning it would be a long time before they would arrive and set their targets at finding the hidden remains, on their way the pair spoke about Lieutenant Jensen. "Jensen was a good man wasn't he" said Rodger "Oh yes" Eric replied "One of the very best Rodger but he's given us all his information that he knows about Ocean Pioneer II". It was then two weeks before the pair arrived at the location of Ocean Pioneer II, On Friday 2nd March Dr Eric and Professor Rodger had made it they had found Ocean Pioneer II however around the middle and bottom of the ocean there were huge rocks these rocks that weighed more than a tone each there were loads of rocks also around the bottom and middle half of the ocean, also around the top and bottom of the ocean which was really red that was from the Liquid Alsterene making the red area quite steamy with huge bubbles. Both Eric and Rodger didn't take any notice of the red bubbles coming from the water as they got closer to the ship that was Ocean Pioneer II. "We've found it Rodger We've found Ocean"... suddenly Eric was stopped in his words as two huge rocks hit the side of the dragonspy. Bang another rock hit the side of the Dragonspy on its side that's when the problems began for the two friends. The engine from the Dragonspy had stopped working but Eric try to turn it back on, "Don't worry Rodger I'm sorting it" he said but bang once again the dragonspy was hit by another rock then another and another.
Roger check the other parts of the dragonspy "Eric all of the systems in the Dragonspy are down what are we going to do we cannot move and we are floating down to the bottom of the seabed". And that's exactly what happened the Dragonspy had sunk to the bottom of the ocean due to the amount of damage it is received. "Great" said Rodger "we're now both stuck with a damaged subermarian at the bottom of the sea how are we going to get out of this one". Eric looked at the radio "we've got at least ten minutes of signal and power left untill that dies so the signal is strong enough for only one call I think we should call base they can get out the international coastguards to find us". "But" said Rodger "what about International Rescue they have the right equipment and everyone counts on them". Eric watched as Rodger made the call to the base who made the call out to the international coastguard association they were called out but there was one more call to be made that call was to International Rescue.
Part 2
The world looked so peaceful as it rotated around slowly watching it in Thunderbird 5 was John Tracy. John usually did this whilst waiting for distress calls with his trusted companion EOS. " John doesn't the world look so peaceful" said EOS John nodded "Yeah it's good but we're still busy which is always important" as he finished talking the emergency signal system went off. "Right EOS looks like we have an emergency call incoming" said John as he made his way to the main area of Thunderbird 5. "This is International Rescue how can we be of assistance?" John was told the whole story and he called Tracy Island to pass on the news of a new rescue.
Tracy island was peaceful on a sunny afternoon Jeff Tracy was sitting at his desk he has spent the morning with his sons in fact Gordon (being an ex Olympic Games and world championship swimming medalist) had built a gym which everyone was using Jeff was using it to help gain his strength even though it's been a while since his return back on Tracy Island however John was about to call in with the news of the next emergency call. "Hi Dad" said John "as you can guess we have a we have a situation". Jeff called everyone into the lounge. "Right everyone emergency call two scientists trapped at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in their Dragonspy subermarian they were looking and they found the remains of the old Ocean Pioneer II that a few years ago we saved the lives of the crew on board, well these two scientists named Eric and Rodger have a problem with their Dragonspy subermarian it's collided with huge rocks weighing each a tone they've no engine it's failed they need our help and fast it's going to be a tricky job but it's a job for Thunderbird 4". Jeff pointed at both Virgil and Gordon "right you two get going John will give you the location when you take off". Virgil and Gordon both got ready and went down to Thunderbird 2 in the second main hangar where Thunderbird 2 was attaching pod 4 carrying Thunderbird 4 the pair set off for the Atlantic Ocean "Thunderbird 2 is Go" said Virgil after the launch.
Back down in the Dragonspy sub both Eric and Roger was sat down ,Roger was on the floor Eric in the driving seat. Eric took out a huge camera out of his bag and started taking pictures from the front view of the cockpit window. " Eric this is no time to be taking pictures" said Rodger as he got up "hang on what's that red steamy bubble thing coming from that side" and that's when the pair 1st recognised the Liquid Alstrene making huge bubbles as more rocks continued to hit the Dragonspy "I think we are in much bigger trouble than we 1st thought Eric" said Rodger. Back on Tracy Island Jeff and Scott were talking to Alan and Kayo Alan was given a job to deliver coffee to Brains before going back to study his latest college work. "Hiya Brains Dad has given me the job of delivering your coffee" Brains replied "oh cheers Alan say I heard Thunderbird 2 taking off Thunderbird 1 should be good to go soon for Scott where has Thunderbird 2 gone then?". After the reply from Alan Brains leaped up and sprinted into the lounge, "Mr Tracy ... Mr Tracy Alan has just told me about where Thunderbird 2 and Thunderbird 4 are heading listen there's something you all don't know one side of the ocean it's covered in Liquid Alstrene that's a really dangerous Liquid Gordon has to be really carefull". Alan walked back into the lounge "what did I miss" he asked Kayo her reply "I'll tell you later just you go back and study".
Thunderbird 2 was almost at the danger zone when it was called by Jeff. " that's right Gordon has got to be extra careful when removing the two scientists from their submarine Virgil" said Jeff. " ok Dad" Virgil replied " we're just looking for a safe place to drop the pod". Virgil brought Thunderbird 2 down slowly as it nearly touched the water at the touch of a button pod 4 was released and it was time for Thunderbird 4 to do the job in hand. " Thunderbird 4 is go" said Gordon as he went deep down towards the bottom of the ocean. Gordon could see all all of the heavy rocks has he managed to avoid a lot of them as he was doing that he switched on Thunderbird 4's main beam lights from the front of Thunderbird 4 now the job was to look for the Dragonspy subermarian. Both Eric and Rodger were sat in their seats watching the water turn from blue to bubbley red. " where are International Rescue" said Eric " they must have had the call surely ...". Suddenly Eric's eyes saw a light he saw it again a few seconds later Gordon had found them. "Virgil I've found them they look ok ok I'm going to get a bit more closer so I can see what I need to do to free them both" Virgil replied " hurry Gordon you heard Dad there's not much time and it's extremely dangerous down there". Gordon got to work "Thunderbird 4 to Dragonspy can you hear me?" , Eric and Rodger looked at each other "the radio Rodger it's working" said Eric " it only must work when other submarines are nearby". "Great news Virgil I can connect to the pair of them via radio" said Gordon "hold on you two I'm going to get you out".
Back on Tracy Island Thunderbird 1 was having checks done Scott was trying to take off as Jeff, Brains and Kayo all watched on, Alan was in the lounge when John called in again. Alan then went down to Thunderbird 1 in its launch bay tell the others the news and updates from John. " the latest update from John is that the International Coast Guard team are a bit lost they cannot find the location and with the Liquid Alstrene very dangerous they need our help". Jeff looked at Brains as Scott arrived back down "okay Kayo" he said, "your turn since Thunderbird 1 cannot be used set off in Thunderbird Shadow for the Atlantic Ocean look for rescue ship marked ICG29". Kayo left to get ready but however, Alan had something to ask his father. " Dad can I go with Kayo I've done a lot of my coursework and chores around the pool and I even thought since you've been teaching me more about maps that maybe Kayo oh might need some help so what I'm asking is can I go?". Jeff looked at Alan "okay you can go too" Kayo and Alan set off in Thunderbird Shadow as the rescue would carry on.
Part 3
Back in the Atlantic Ocean Gordon was ready, he had given both Eric and Rodger some instructions and the pair had carried them out. Eric and Rodger closed down the main hatch and also other units keeping themselves in the cockpit area with all their belongings with them. Gordon activated Thunderbird 4's, Laser Beam Cutter, the plan was to cut off both wings from the left and right of the Dragonspy that kept the cockpit area together, then with a bit of a nudge hopefully the cockpit would become free and using the Magnetic Grabs on Thunderbird 4 Gordon would lift the Dragonspy cockpit area carrying both Eric and Rodger and take it into Pod 4, Thunderbird 2 would come back reconnect with the Pod and meet up the International Coast Guard Ship ICG 29 and drop off both Eric and Rodger. At that point in Thunderbird Shadow Kayo and Alan had found and linked up with the International Coast Guard Ship, they were both welcomed by the captain of the ship and got to work on finding a good location to meet up with Thunderbird 2.
As for Gordon he'd already started to cut through the right-wing of the Dragonspy so it was a good start, but time was not on Gordon's side and Virgil up in Thunderbird 2 was watching the bubbles begin to rise and become more steamy as they began to rise. "How's it going down there Gordon" Virgil asked him "the laser cutter is doing it's job Virgil" Gordon replied even though the laser cutter on TB4 had not been used in a long time. Thankfully, the cutter managed to cut it's way through the right-wing so Gordon moved across over to the Left-Hand side to continue cutting through the wings however it was a bit more trickier however Gordon got through it "now time for the difficult part" he said to himself. Gordon activated the magnetic grabs "hold on Eric and Rodger I'm going to take you both away from the Debray and up to the surface". Thunderbird 4 began to pull away from the remains of the submarine at first it was looking like everything was okay but almost halfway up the magnetic grab in the middle of the three on Thunderbird 4's Hydraulic Rams started to slip and in the end did slip off as Thunderbird 4 approached Pod 4 but however as Gordon was trying to get back into Pod 4 the 2nd magnetic grab began to start sliding but managed to hold on as Thunderbird 4 got back into Pod 4 holding the cockpit of the Dragonspy. " Okay Virgil come down and get us we're all in the pod" Gordon said as Thunderbird 2 lowered itself down before taking back off with the pod Gordon then cut through the cockpit window to release both Eric and Rodger.
A while later Thunderbird 2 landed on the International Coast Guard Ship. As they set foot on the ship both Eric and Rodger shook Gordon and Virgil by the hand, before they left Rodger asked them "by the way what was making the ocean turn from blue to red?". Gordon replied," it was Liquid Alstrene when Ocean Pioneer II sunk it was carrying captuals maybe that was the bit of information you missed out on". As a thank you Eric and Rodger allowed the cockpit of their Dragonspy to be taken by Thunderbird 2 so Brains could have a look at the design. Both Thunderbird 2 and Thunderbird Shadow took off heading back to Tracy Island as Eric and Rodger headed back to Dover in England themselves.
