Sitting in the water was the prototype of the newest hydrofoil to be built by Tracy Industries. It was designed to be a new foray into the marine vehicle market and a few more tests were needed before production could begin.

A young man sat in the cockpit of the boat, anticipating the start of the test. His alert brown eyes were checking the gauges, making sure that all was in order. As he was doing so, he felt an increase in his heart rate.

"This is it," he thought as the word was given to start the test run. He started the engine, allowing it to idle for a few seconds before throttling the engine up to speed. 125 knots...130 knots. As the boat's speed increased so did the exhilaration he felt. He continued to push the boat's speed up. 175 knots...past 200. This is wonderful. Everything is going as planned. He started to nudge the throttle to 220 knots when he sensed a vibration in the boat, originating from the steering yoke.

Damn, I thought we had the problem licked. He quickly throttled down the boat to a reasonable speed and returned to the dock.

On the shore, two people watched the proceedings with keen interest, one taking notes.

"This young man has possibilities. We'll have to check his credentials and present our findings to the boss."

"I agree," said the second person, a petite blonde. "He seems to meet all the requirements."

A couple of days later a man sat at his desk, looking over the file, and what he saw made him smile.

"Brandon James McCain, age 30, ten years in WASP. Achieved the position of Dive Master in a short length of time." The man continued to read the file. "Hmm, his former commander, John Shore, has nothing but good things to say about him." After he finished reading the file, he came to a decision. "I think it's time I let the boss know that I've found another candidate for him."
