Chapter Thirteen

Graleex was right; the underwater suit was uncomfortable, even though I managed to fit in it all right.

It was large and clunky, making it hard for me to move around in, though in the water it was actually easy to swim around in it. But I could barely turn my head thanks to the way the helmet was designed, which heavily restricted my neck movement. The helmet itself was large enough to give my head some space, but it smelled awful, like sewage water combined with skunk stink. And, despite its size, it felt too tight; not enough to restrict my breathing, but enough to make movement uncomfortable. About the only good thing about it was that it was rather warm, which was good because the ocean water was incredibly cold, and the fact that it had a few gallons of air constantly pumping into my helmet so I wouldn't suffocate.

Of course, at least part of the problem with the suit was that I was having to swim in the very dark ocean water while wearing it. While I was a good swimmer in my own right, I had never been this far underwater before, nor had I ever swam in such dark conditions. The helmet had a small light affixed to the forehead, which helped me see where I was going somewhat, but the rest of the water was still very dark and the light itself only illuminated a few feet in front of me at most, which made it hard to see anything.

I also found the small rockets on the boots to be hard to use. They were meant to give me enough propulsion to help me move through the water faster, because you just couldn't swim very fast in this suit, but every time I activated them, they threw me off target and I had to swim back in the direction I had wanted to go. Graleex had warned me that the rockets were hard to use without practice, so I decided not to use them too much unless I absolutely had to.

As for weapons, the suit had a laser, a mini missile launcher, and not much else. According to Graleex, the suit hadn't been designed to be used in a fight, so it had only the most basic of self-defense weapons built into it. It didn't even have any of that blue glue that Graleex had, but even if it had, I doubted it would have helped, because I doubted Robert was going to stand still long enough for me to hit him with the glue.

Swimming upwards, I heard the pounding of Robert's fists against the exterior of the ship growing louder and louder. I knew that even if Robert managed to break open the roof to the control room before I distracted him, Graleex and Mom would be okay, because they had both moved to the laboratory and sealed the door to the control room to keep the water out. Even so, that probably
