Righteous Triad Fists: Conclusion
Guppy sat down on the bridge of the Wallaby. His eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store as he switched the power on. It hummed to life with all the fanfare of a Mac computer. "I recognize this…this is the submersible that was stolen from an Australian facility!"
Caprice sat down on the chair opposite him. "Yeah I heard of the Wallaby. It keeps pressure equalized at any depth."
"The Wallaby can operate under its own power for two weeks," said Guppy. He flipped more switches as the diagnostics whirred to life.
"It looks the Millenium Falcon to me," said Hammer, standing behind Guppy.
"Better," said Guppy, grinning for the first time in awhile. "The Wallaby has combination of pontoons and ballast, a single set of impeller motors, and a mini-sub cradle."
"The Joeys," said Ho robotically. "There are two. Tsao took one."
"I've got her signal," said Caprice. "We can track her."
The horseshoe shuddered again. "Let's get the hell out of here," said Hammer.
"Aye, aye, captain!" said Guppy. He pushed a lever forward and the sounds of couplers disconnecting rumbled the perimeter of the Wallaby.
The Wallaby pulled away, spinning as it caught in the current and propelled itself quickly away from the larger ship.
"I just realized," said Jim-Bean, laughing to himself. "If the mini-subs are Joeys and this thing is the Wallaby, then that Horseshoe thing is…" he broke out into fits of laughter. "…a KANGAROO! HA!"
Jim-Bean's hysterical laughter was all that echoed throughout the Wallaby as they descended into a deep sea trench. more
