The Game: Chapter 05
In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 86):
There is a moment's silence before the response.
"Glory be," the voice says. "The IDA! What luck. Yes, yes, by all means, please get me out of here. I have such a report to file, you're almost assured a promotion."
The comm goes to static, then regains its strength.
"I'm, er, well... it's a long story, but I'm trapped in what was once the galley. Plenty of food, but not much air scrubbing. I jury-rigged the rehydration unit to filter out some of the carbon dioxide but I've felt light-headed for... um... a long time now. I was able to grab a few oxygen tanks before I was sealed off, which helped. And I got this emergency radio, too, but the signal's been weak and the battery is nearly fried. I've been debating charging it from the heating coils but I'm afraid I'll freeze if I do. It's so... cold. So dark, already."
"I'm afraid when you moved my floating coffin here, it rattled me around a bit. I'm... caught up in a nest of wires and pipes. How... how were you going to get me out? I don't have a pressure suit. And I think it'll take a knife or torch to free me from the wall here."
