Re: Dark Frontier (Game Thread)
"No problem," Sparky said. "Hey, since your room is located closer to the airlock, I'll just follow along. Wouldn't feel right just being left alone on your ship."
The grungy-looking engineer followed Judith back to her room and waited patiently outside for her to put Doughnut back. The cat meowed. Perhaps it was insulted at being abandoned on the Urania with no one else to amuse it.
Judith rejoined Sparky and allowed him to lead her back onto the research station and up the ladder to B level. As they rounded a corner they quickly heard the shuffling of feet and a door slam ahead of them. As she passed by, she saw "Lab B2" written in large dark grey block letters on the portal in question. She could hear hushed voices whispering to one another behind the barrier, but there were no words in particular that she could make out before having passed on to the end of the corridor, reaching a small door with a radioactive symbol on it.
Sparky opened the door and stepped inside. "Rad suits are in here," he said. "There are spare suits in that locker over there. Don't think this station has ever had a female engineer on it, so you can trust me, your size will be clean."

"Kenneth, how many cards do you want?" Nicolas asked.
"Erm... uh, three." Kenneth said, somewhat sheepishly as he pushed away three cards face down in the center of the table.
Wordlessly, Nicolas passed him three cards. He then passed Elise two cards after she discarded her five and six. Finally, Nicolas pushed two cards away from his own hand and took two.
Elise scooped up her new cards and would have to fight back a frown - an ace and six of clubs. Meaning her best hand was an ace high. Nicolas still kept the same confident look in his eyes while Kenneth sized up his three new cards and chuckled darkly.
"Hah, yer getting wet, Nico unless you give up now." Kenneth said.
"Does that mean you'll raise the stakes?" Nicolas asked.
"Er... nah, it's early days yet. Besides, you're not the one I want to see in a skimpy dress. I'll just check."
"I see," said Nicolas. "Well, I'll be a gentleman too and check to the Captain. Captain Anders, you can check to stay in, fold to try and stay dry, or raise the stakes."
