The character of Moira Claire Bridger is mine, as she came from my brain.

Part four of
Intruder on the SeaQuest
***** "And all is going according to plan. I knew those brats would be his weakness. Next, I take the dolphin. Than the bitch who thought she could beat me." Zeller said outloud, watching the groups on a vidscreen. ***** Nathan sat back in his chair with a photo album on his desk. Tears ran down his cheek as he looked at each picture. He looked at each one and thought of the memory around it. He stopped at a picture of Moira the day she was born. Lucas was holding her, and sitting beside Kristin in a hospital chair. He laughed as he remembered Lucas wrapping her up in the present he'd gotten her – Moira's cherised blanket, which Lucas had recently said he'd regreted giving her, since she never let go of it.
He flipped the page and a picture the crew had made with the computer. They'd made it right after he'd had a family portrait done only 5 monthes before. It was the protrait with Carol and Robert's faces above the family looking down at them. They had halos above them and "sun" rays coming off them.
He flipped the page, and came up on the pictures of His wedding to Kristin. He smiled as he looked at the picture of Kristin coming down the aisle. He looked at the picture of Lucas handing him Kristin's ring.
Nathan closed the photo album and stood up. He looked at his watch, "11:30. That's it." He said to himself. He pulled out his PAL, "Katie."
"Yes, sir?"
"Do you have any idea which boiler they could be in?"
"Actually, I do, sir. Boiler three. It's the only one with a hatch."
"Can you shut off the timers?"
"No, sir. Not with out Lucas."
"Alright. Meet me at the boiler. And have Kristin come with you."
"Sir?"
"Just do, Lt. Cmdr."
"Yes, Sir." ***** 11:42
When Nathan arrived at the boiler, the rest of the senior staff was there.
He looked at the boiler and found the ladder to the hatch. He put his face to the huge metal cylinder, "Lucas."
"Dad!" Lucas yelled back, ignoreing the sound's richoet in room.
Nathan grabbed on to the ladder, and began to climb.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Jonathan asked.
"Getting them out of here."
Nathan looked at his watch, again, 11:46. He continued to climb.
He reached the hatch and unlocked it. He pulled at the handle, but it wouldn't come open. He tried again. It was stuck in place. He looked at his watch yet again, 11:53. He gave it another pull and it finally came open. He looked inside at his children.
"Dad. There's no latter. I'm gonna try to throw Moi to you." Lucas jumped and gave Moira a push to Nathan.
Nathan caught her and handed her to Jonathan who had come up behind him. He looked at his watch once again, 11:57. "Come on Lucas! Your turn!" Nathan put his upper body into the boiler and held out his hands for Lucas. Lucas jumped and caught his father's hands.
Nathan began to pull the two of them out of the boiler. He hugged Lucas as he emerged from it. Lucas began to climb down to Kristin, as Nathan shut the hatch. The boilers turned on just as he locked it. He climbed down and hugged his family to him.
Kristin looked at Nathan, "I'm so happy this is over."
"It's not over. Not until we find Zeller." *****
This ends part four.
Part five in the works.
