"I'll gladly take that off your hands," says Robert, reaching for the Foster's that Dr. Evans had confiscated. "Good thing Harrison's already out there. He can get the generator working again."

' And Janet, I am sorry for my words just now--I wasn't myself--' Arthur stops speaking abruptly, realising that Janet probably doesn't care about mention of the ribbed condom or, for that matter, his apology. He retreats into his shell, and stares out of the window, feeling foolish.

As it looks like the fun's over, Johnny finishes his beer and stands up. He looks at his watch and seeing it is 1600hrs decides to do a bit of work before finishing for the evening. "Think I'll just go check on the bird before turning in tonight. Just in case Xavier throws in a expedition without warning. Wouldn't put it past him. Plus the weather's not too bad yet. Plus it's a bit dull here with no power." He notes his duffel bag is still on the floor but ignores it. He goes out to the coats and puts on his outer gear, checking that the whisky is still hidden inside before entering the air lock.

Janet sighs as the power goes out. "Will that affect the heating?" She doesn't seem to pay much attention to the apology, simply shrugging in acknowledgment that she's heard it. As she glances around the room in irritation at the failed power, she notices the figure strolling through the snow. "Huh. Who do you think that is?" she asks with casual curiosity.

Robert peers out the window. "Harrison, maybe?" he says. "Or it could be Walther. He's still out there too. But why would either of them be going to the chopper?"

At the window Janet and Robert watch the figure by the chopper. Clad in black it moves behind the vehicle escaping from view. Johnny notices the tension from the two. As he turns to see what it´s all about he sees the guide lights of the runway behind the station light up. Back at the window, Janet sees Harrison walk back from the workshop.
Robert´s radio under the stairs makes a double beep, indicating a coded message has arrived.
Evans is really getting spooked by this sudden action around the station. What is protocol for this? Should really people leave the main building?

OOC: The emergency locker up in the corridor on the second floor holds the following:
Defibrillators, roll of band aids, head lamps (2), flash lights (4), energy bars (20), flare gun, glow sticks (10), blankets (4), two first aid kits, fire extinguisher and one Remington 870.

Weapons available at Station 10 (should you feel the urge to know)

"'Scuse me, I'd better go get that," says Robert. He ducks into the radio room to decode the message.

That leaves Janet, Arthur and Evans at the lounge. Robert enters the airlock in is gone from view.

OOC: A new thread for those leaving the main house, called outside is open. Aine, Johnny is continuing in that thread. O u t s i d e

Evans crosses to the window, mouth set in line. Harrison and Johnny at least had legitimate reasons to be outside, but... "What is Walther doing out there?" he muses out loud. "He hasn't been in since you crew arrived." He's quiet for a moment, then glances at Janet. "He wouldn't be upset with any of you, do you suppose? Maybe had a tiff with one of you before your leave and he still feels sore?"

Post by **Mr. Handy** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 9:55 pm

Robert encrypts a reply and transmits it back.

Post by **Dave Syrinx** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:03 pm

The radio returns a message after thirty seconds.

Post by **Mr. Handy** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:39 pm

Robert sends another reply.

Arthur is dozing on the sofa. He opens one eye, wondering at the Doctor's meaning ; he thinks : she's not knocking-off Naumann, surely ?

' Not me : we are good friends.'

OOC: If you are interested in what is going on outside, feel free to walk out, So, no reading in the other thread, please.

Janet heads over to put on an extra layer before trundling outdoors. She's not anxious enough to fear some sort of threat so her curiosity isn't going to get her frozen to the bone.

"Evans, I feel much better !

"As for Walther, he ought to come back inside or he'll catch hypothermia. Robert is on the radio, I could ask him to relay a message ?"

Post by **MadJaymilton** » Thu Oct 04, 2012 8:01 pm

Evans lets out an unhappy sigh--honestly, getting these people together was like herding cats--and turns to Arthur. "We'll go together," he says. "You may feel better, but I want to keep an eye on you." He kneels down by the couch to help the chef up.

Arthur grasps the Doctor's hand and pulls himself to his feet, being careful not to sway or otherwise look doddery.

"Thanks, again. Let's go talk to Bailey, he should be in the radio room."

Post by **Dave Syrinx** » Sat Oct 06, 2012 3:36 pm

Evans and Arthur get to the air lock as Janet leaves with the door slamming shut behind her. Robert´s door is closed but you can hear him working the radio.

Robert gets another transmission when he hears the front door slam shut again.

Spoiler:

All men inside the station hear something that sounds like thunder close in on Station 10.
