The Deep Oneshots Part 2

The nerds meet

This is just Fiction and Alpheus accidentally meeting on the Aronnax. That's it that's the fic. Enjoy

It was early afternoon on the Aronnax. The Nektons were in the middle of a test drive after some minor repairs to the Aronnax. Fiction wanted to ensure everything was working smoothly before sending the Nektons out. They were almost done when they got a call from the woa. Some illegal poachers were hunting dolphins and the Nektons were the closest vessel.

Of course the Nektons chose to help out and immediately set a course to the coordinates. Unfortunately they didn't have time to drop Fiction off. But he didn't mind, he'd finished most of his work for the day anyway.

Once the Nektons got there they immediately jumped into there Knights and sprung into action. Fiction was left alone on the Aronnax.

It wasn't long before he heard the door to the bridge opened. He wasn't expecting the Nektons to be back so soon. He turned around only to see a young man with dark blue hair standing by the door way.

"Ummm hello, can I help you?"

"Mh, not really, I'm taking over the submarine."

"I uh- I think the Nektons will have something to say about that."

"They will but by the time they get here we'll be long gone."

Fiction reached to the comms system but he couldn't reach anyone. It was just static.

"Yeah, don't bother I'm jamming the signal."

"You, you found a way to do it remotely? That's incredible. Jammers take days to set up and use so much energy how did you do it?"

"It's was actually quite fun trying to figure it out you see-"

And that began a two hour conversation between the two. In that time Fiction had learned that the boys name was Alpheus (it took several minutes for Fiction to actually believe that this was Ant's 'nemesis' and not just a random kid with the same name) And that he loved engendering.

Fiction was especially interested in the directional emps Alpheus had created. Being able to target a specific machine rather than taking out everything nearby would be incredibly useful. The two had spent the better half of and hour trying to upgrade the emps.

"If we added more relay coils we could increase its power and range by twenty percent."

"Yeah, but if we do that we'd lose accuracy and we'd risk it over heating."

"We could add in a cooling system."

"That would stop the over heating we still need it to be accurate."

"Hmmm, maybe if we redirect the current we could channel it better and bring the accuracy back up?"

"It's worth a shot."

The two got to work, they were in William's study which they had turned into a makeshift lab. They'd stolen most of Kaiko's tools as well, all of which were now sitting in various piles of spare parts, wires, tools and random books that were littered about to place. Needless to say. The place was a mess.

They were almost finished there modification when Ant barged in.

"FICTION!!! We saw Alpheus' sub outside! We couldn't reach you are you ok!?"

Ant hadn't seemed to notice Alpheus yet. He was standing in the corner holding a cup of coffee that Fiction swore he didn't have five minutes ago.

"Of course I'm ok."

"What happened in here?"

"Fiction was just, giving me a hand with something."

Ant jumped and whipped his head round. Alpheus had left his place in the corner, he had somehow gotten another cup of coffee and handed it to Fiction. Fiction needed to ask him if he had some kind of portable coffee maker.

"Thank you. We're actually almost done! Do you want to see?"

"Yeah, we could use a test dummy."

"MUUUUUUUUMMMMM!!!!"

Ant turned on his heals and ran away. Alpheus laughed.

"Alpheus, we talked about this. No threatening the Nektons."

"But we do need a test dummy."

"Please don't use the Nektons as test dummies."

"Don't tell me what to do old man."

Fiction sighed and shook his head. He was going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Kaiko: Why is the bath tub on fire?
Fiction and Alpheus: SCIENCE!!!
