"Calling International Rescue! Calling International Rescue!"

Alan woke out of a sound sleep and sat bolt upright. Jumping out of bed, he headed up to the control level, taking the ladder two rungs at a time and skidding into the main control room on bare feet. He fumbled with the microphone as the distress call continued to play. "International Rescue! Do you read me? Come in, International Rescue!"

"International Rescue, here. We read you five by five. What is the nature of your emergency?"

"Oh, thank God! International Rescue, this is James Manchester of the geographic research station in Brisbane, Australia. We have registered a seaquake of 7.8 on the Richter scale approximately 600 miles north of Samoa. Our sensors are also registering a tsunami wave that will spread out from that point and envelop Samoa and Wallis and Futuna to the South, then head straight into the Fiji basin. Cook Island to the East and the easternmost islands of Melanesia to the west will also be hit hard. We're putting out a general call for rescue teams. Can you respond?"

"Yes, sir. We can respond. Where will the tsunami hit first and hardest?"

"First and hardest?" Manchester stopped for a moment. "The Samoas, Wallis, and Fortuna, I should think. They're closest in any direction. Fiji would follow. "

"Do you have a time frame for its arrival, first at Samoa then at Fiji?"

"Yes. It should arrive at Samoa and the other islands within the hour." Manchester said. "I have a projected path and arrival map available. Can I upload it to you?"

Alan thought for a moment. "I think our scientific staff will be able to oblige me." ~Once I wake him up, that is. "Don't worry, we're on it, Mr. Manchester. If I have any questions, I'll radio you at this same frequency."

"Roger, International Rescue. And thanks."

"International Rescue, out." Alan turned immediately to his connection to the island, and activated the emergency signal. "Thunderbird Five to Base, Thunderbird Five to Base. We have an emergency!" ~And what an emergency! This thing is headed for the island!

Meanwhile, down on Tracy Island, a loud chiming sounded through Brains's room. He groaned, turned over, and squinted at the clock. Reaching out, he pulled on his glasses. "What the... oh no!"

He swung his legs over the side of his bed and grabbed his dressing gown as he ran for the lab. "That's the tsunami alert! We are in the path of a tidal wave!"
