Nadia-The Secret of Blue Water (Storyteller Version)

Chapter 14: The Valley of Dinicthys

A short time later, the Nautilus was eagerly pursuing their enemy underwater.

SONAR OFFICER: Sir, I've detected an unidentified ship at two o'clock.

CHIEF ENGINEER: We caught them at last.

ELECTRA: Yes. It has to be the Garfish.

CHIEF ENGINEER: Right. There's no other ship in all the world besides ours that can operate at these depths.

SONAR OFFICER: They may be able to dive like us, but that is where the comparisons end!

ELECTRA: Shall we pursue them, captain?

CAPTAIN NEMO: Of course! Alter bearing to two o'clock, and full speed ahead!

FIRST HELMSMAN: Aye aye, Captain.

CAPTAIN NEMO: All hands report to Level Two battle positions!

ELECTRA: All hands report to Level Two battle positions!

As Electra's announcement echoed through the Nautilus, Jean and a very angry Nadia, confined to their cabin, sat on the bottom bunk as Marie and King played on the floor.

ELECTRA ON INTERCOM: I repeat, all hands to Level Two battle positions! All non-combatants must report to Block Three Shelters!

MARIE: (Giggling Underneath Electra's Announcement & Throughout As She Plays With King)

KING: (Playful Growling Underneath Electra's Announcement & Throughout As Marie Plays With Him)

NADIA: (Sarcastic) Good! Another chance to kill!

JEAN: But Nadia, this time they might be going after Gargoyle and his assassins.

NADIA: What's the difference?! He's a murderer too! Despicable!

JEAN: Yes, but...

NADIA: THERE'S NO EXCUSE! He murdered that man in cold blood! I don't care what his reasons were!

MARIE: (Gasping; Moaning Sounds Underneath)

JEAN: But... that soldier had his rifle pointed right at you! He'd have killed you if the captain didn't act!

NADIA: I would rather have died myself than witness his butchery!

JEAN: That doesn't make sense, Nadia!

Just then, Marie fell to the floor in a faint. Jean and Nadia quickly rushed her to Medical Bay. Hearing the news, Sanson and Hanson followed.

SANSON: Doctor! Marie! Is she... is she going to be all right?!

DOCTOR: Hmm...

SANSON: TELL ME WHAT HER CONDITION IS NOW!

DOCTOR: It is a rare tropical fever.

JEAN, NADIA, & HANSON (TOGETHER): A TROPICAL FEVER?!

SANSON: I don't care what the name of the disease is, Doctor! She will recover, right?!

DOCTOR: Well... that is hard to say.

SANSON: What?! You mean she...?! WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HER SOME OF YOUR ADVANCED MIRACLE MEDICINE AND MAKE HER WELL AGAIN?!

DOCTOR: I said it was very rare, didn't I? We don't have the antidote.

SANSON: (Beginning To Cry) But you... must have... Marie... she... Listen, Hanson!

HANSON: Huh?

SANSON: YOU AND YOUR BLESSED SCIENCE MUST BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING FOR HER, CAN'T YOU?!

HANSON: But I know nothing about medicine.
