Brief Summary- On the USS Dallas, Sonarman Jones believes he can track the unusual sounding Russian submarine. Mancuso, the captain of USS Dallas, sends a message to COMSUBLANT Operations asking for permission to leave their current location and track her. COMSUBLANT grant the USS Dallas permission to track the submarine and report back as necessary.
On the V. K. Konovalov, Tupolev is racing toward the Atlantic with order to find and destroy the Red October.
On the Red October, Chief Engineer Melekhin discovers that the radiation badges are showings signs of exposer, upon checking two more batches of the badges he determines that there must be a leak in the reactor. Ramius calls a meeting of the officers and is determined to keep it from the crew for as long as possible to prevent a panic. Later, Melekhin discover that no serious levels of radiation a being picked by the Geiger counters, and it is concluded that someone has sabotaged their badges, but to be safe it is decided that they should check for leaks.
Ryan has been flown out to the USS Invincible to help locate the Red October, and help her should she really be planning to defect.
Journal- I think Ramius handled the radiation incident very impressively, keeping that from the crew was a very good idea; if they found out that they were being exposed to radiation would have caused a scare, and while they are trapped in a submarine, that could lead to hysteria.
