56 56. Going To Sirius (2/2)
Dariel replied, ” Then come in, and report it immediately, I am very busy today. ”
A man then entered the room and was holding a paper. The man started to state the report, ” The Cargo Ship Catalina has been able to meet up with the Minekazi destroyer without any problems. The first destroyer escort of the Catalina is now on a course to return to White Sandy Port.”
Dariel then replied, ” Good, you may now leave and please, tell the security that I will be doing an overtime today.”
The man nodded while saying ” yes sir” before leaving the room. Dariel then picks up the telephone on his desk and calls his secretary to bring him some coffee.

It was 0800 hours, the two ships have arrived at the Port of Ernan. Catalina was having the same trouble as the Bismarck when it first came to the port. It was too shallow for the ship to dock at the port, but they were advised by Captain Gustavus about the rise of the water at night.
So the crew of the ship had no choice but to wait at night, to unload the cargo. The captain was scratching his head as they have encountered their first problem.
The two commanding officers of the platoons and the leader of the organizing team went to the bridge of the ship. They are were going to tell the captain about their plan to leave at night.
Second Lt. Alan Roe speaks, ” Captain we will be departing during nighttime, as we can't delay the delivery of the cargoes. So we will take the risk of traveling at night.”

A knock again can be heard in Dariel's office and the same voice from before can be heard.
” Sir I have another report about the situation at Ernan, this report must be heard by you sir ASAP! ”
Dariel then spoke, ” Fine come in and report it.”
The man read the paper his holding.
” At 0800 hours when the Catalina has arrived at the port of Ernan, the ship was not able to unload its cargo because of the shallow water that may damage the ship.”
” But according to a report by Captain Gustavus of the Bismarck, states that the water level increases every night that the ship will be able to unload its cargo.”
” Because of this the platoon and organizers have decided to travel at nighttime after unloading everything. This action was done by them because of the reason if they will stay even longer in the town, the cargo might not reach the city of Ram on time. ”
Dariel was tapping his fingers on his table and was thinking about something and spoke.
” Hmmm, it looks like we made the right choice in sending those men. They have the initiative to think something like that, well that will help our plans to not get delayed by some stupid shallow water.”
The man spoke, ” Sir there is another urgent report, that you must hear it is from the marine corps which were doing the operation clean-up drive.”
Dariel then looked at the man's and spoke, ” Report it immediately if it's from the military, it must be something strange.”
