Thread's alarm was blaring. The 3 crew members of the ship "Thread" shook from the recent blast. There had been a loud explosion when something had struck the vessel.
"This is bad," said Yoruichi, the sf anime specialist, examining a gauge. "The blast destroyed the airlock, so we can't shelter there. The atmosphere is leaking in across at least half the ship! What about the bridge?"
"The bridge isn't designed to be sealed," answered Slickster, the flirtatious logistics officer (and comic relief). "Quick! Get out the pressure suits!"
But, to everyone's dismay, not all of the emergency equipment was present. The self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs) were there, along with plenty of oxygen tanks, but the pressure suits were missing. "Who screwed this up!?" Slickster demanded loudly, thinking back to his last Halloween party.
"Quiet," ordered Captain LIS. "Let's work the problem." He calmly picked up a breathing kit. "Put these on. Then unpack the balloon from the lab and meet me on the bridge."
They did so. A few minutes later, they entered the cockpit dragging a large rubber balloon and three spare oxygen bottles.
Captain LIS was seated at the comm station. He inhaled from his tank, then pulled aside the mask and said, "I just spoke with the Commander at Space Station BrainDen. They're prepping the Rescue Ship "Replies", and expect it to be underway in half an hour... which means we'll be saved in about three hours."
"What about Thread?" asked Slickster, being careful to inhale only from his SCBA.
"Our engines are fine," answered LIS.
"Then we could make it to BrainDen in only two and a half hours!" both Yoruichi and Slickster exclaimed.
"Bad idea," answered Captain LIS, "very bad, indeed. We have plenty of oxygen, so we'll wait here. I'll run the cabin heaters at full power on the bridge. If necessary, we'll crawl into the balloon and huddle together to stay warm." Yoruichi arched an eyebrow at Slickster. "Just don't get too friendly in there."
1) Where is Thread?
2) Why does Captain LIS refuse to pilot Thread back to BrainDen?
3) Will Slickster get frisky despite the Captain's warning?
