Not being one that likes wasting time, but knows his place, Tommy reluctantly says, "Yes sir," and does as instructed. He will follow Briggs up to "A Deck" and stand watch while the others pass.Solomoriah wrote:"I say, Mister Mansel, hold up a bit. Let's not forget who's in charge," said Briggs, noting Mansel taking the lead. "We don't know where the saboteurs are, now do we? I'll go up the stairs first, and you follow; stop on the A deck landing and keep watch while the engineers follow me up. If nothing untoward happens, follow them up, and we'll regroup in the tank room. Then, if you want to lead on to the engine room, I'll bring up the rear."

If Tommy doesn't suspect anything after the engineers pass he will head up the stairs. If he suspects anything then he will yell up to Briggs to alert him and then check it out.
