"Oh smeg," repeated Wildflower for what was close to the sixth time that day.  "Yes indeed," agreed Keto, "I'm going to blow it up.  And that way if the asteroids don't destroy the ship first, the oxy-generation units powering down will.  Say goodbye to the Blue Dwarf, fools."<end clip>
 
Keats wasnt paying to much attention to what was going on, he had found another, much more disturbing problem. Being in a hard-vac enviorment, where there was about one atom of hydrogen per meter square, there wasnt much hope for him taking a crafty smoke when no-one was watching. Plus, his lighter wouldnt work. He turned to Jack who was, suprisingly alert at that point. Keats floated up to him whilst the others were busy waving arms at Keto. He nudged him.
 
'pssssst, i gottan idea, you me can get outta this...' He tightbeamed him.
 
There was a snort and Jack yawned whilst turning around. He removed a pair of glasses with filled in eyes from the outside of his helmet.
 
'JACK! we have very limited air left, were in iminent danger, and your sleeping!'
'Not just sleeping!'
'????' Keats managed a feat of human will, he pronounced question marks.
'Drunk to!'
'Dammit jack! anyway, wanna get outta here.... ummm, i got fresh brew alomost done, and dying would be a waste'
 
Jack sprung to attention.
 
'Whats the plan?'
'A quick escape in the Endymion!'
 
Keats contacted Severn, and asked for the Endymion to be sent.
 
***on the blue dwarf***

Severn stopped suddenly, and tilted his head. Mk6 tried to hear what he said, tho, his lips were barely moving. Severn smiled, turned to a door and gave it a sharp kick. It opened jerkily.
<end clip2>
Nightcrawler, as Severn learnt his name to be, was fiddling with a large archaic craft. Hed busied himself on a few felonious wires and was taking a clandestine approach to shooting them.
 
Severn was at a control console, and pressed a few buttons. The wires sparked and the craft suddenly tarted to lower itself into an airlock, however, due to a few of them being a tad... frayed.... , the airlock didnt open. Instead, the lift grinded painfully against it, and hydrolics broke and sent compressed liquid everywhere. Severn graned, and subvocalised to Keats and Jack.
 
'Sorry, lifts out'
