Aliens of the Deep Page #2
We chose the "Ares"
for the giant A-frame at her stern.
Its massive hydraulic cylinders
can lift the sub off the deck
and out over the water with ease.
It's one of the safest ways
to launch a large payload off of any ship,
and we constantly tested our procedures
until we had everything dialed in
for the upcoming four-sub dive.
All right, let's do this,
All stations, let's do this,
I'm gonna need everybody
to keep their ears open, be observant,
Keep your eyes open
for the lights of the other submersibles,
And, you know, it's gonna be challenging,
But I think we can pull it off,
All right, here we go,
Jacks up!
Finally, everything was in motion.
And in the middle of the North Atlantic,
a thousand miles from the nearest land,
our little expedition
was about to make history.
We're in motion,
We're in motion,
Nice and slow, blue winch,
Nice and slow,
- Now we're gunnin' runnin', huh?
- Yeah,
At least, that was the plan.
All stop, all stop, All stop,
I copy you, Lima Charlie.
The only problem we have right now
is the A-frame. Over.
I'll let you know
as soon as the crew gets it sorted.
About an hour and 15 minutes
ago, we had a safety stop,
Uh, what we know
is the A-frame went south,
It's a complete breakdown of the cylinder,
It ultimately amounts to a cold stop,
These bolts all shot,
And all this paint that's been here forever
busts loose because of that situation,
And it happened on that one as well,
Yeah, right, I mean, we're in the
middle of the ocean with a broken A-frame,
That's what it sounds like to me,
How you gonna get that fixed up?
Call A-frames"R"Us? You know,
have their little service ship come by?
Thousand miles from shore?
We don't have to move on it immediately,
but it's at least something
we need to start processing,
Well, I mean,
if they can't fix this,
and we don't have an alternate way
of launching the sub, it's over,
the expedition's over,
If you are going to explore,
you have to accept the fact
that on the one hand there's risk.
You have to stay up all night long
thinking about every single factor
that's involved in what you're doing,
and making sure that
you've thought of everything.
'Cause if you can eliminate
all the things you can think of,
you've eliminated nine-tenths
of what can go wrong,
That way, when that last one-tenth
pops up, and you're in the middle of it,
you don't have to worry about all the
other stuff 'cause you've dealt with that,
Look, to be completely serious, your idea
about cutting that bulwark away at the side
is the best idea I've heard
for an alternate plan yet,
Just cut the side right out of the ship,
