You cross your fingers, hoping that it's yet another false fire alarm, and start munching on your pancakes. After only a few bites, you feel someone tapping on your shoulder. You turn around and see Beth Watson smiling at you. "You're on the fire team, right? Didn't you hear the alarm?" Your face turns slightly red and you begin to explain that you're just waiting for the human voice, but Beth cuts you off. "Tsk tsk. Not taking action when the alarm sounds is both bad and wrong. Don't be bad and wrong." Not wanting to risk the wrath of Beth, you immediately get up and run out of the galley to retrieve your bunker gear. As you put on your air tanks, you finally hear the human voice from comms. Indeed, it was just a false alarm -- about the 10th one over the span of a couple days. You return to the galley, finish your breakfast, and prepare to go the lab. |
