"H-Hey, I don't see you comin' up with anything better! I solved da last puzzle, so you solve dis one!"
She began to blush a bit as she glared at the others.

"Ice cream?"
He chuckled at that light heartedly
"I could go for some ice cream right about now."
He bit his lip a little, determined to figure it out.

Saru scratched his head, looking at the screen too.
"Ooh, this a tricky one. Monkey have no idea. No no."

Nona was ready to give up.
"Should we look around again for hints and come back to this...?"

"There are 12 different sections to that wheel. Do you think it might mean a clock? Was there a clock anywhere near by?"

"A clock...?"
Akane thought for a moment.
...!
"Oh! I think there was one in the dining room!"

"What if those colours in the three rows are three different times?"
He pointed to each in turn
"So, green is 20, purple is 45 and yellow is 10... meaning we should change the time on the clock to 4:45:10"

"And then we'd turn it back to the other two times, like a dial lock? Pretty clever... I think you're onto something!"

"Yeah?"
He gave the color wheel another once over, making note of the other two time combinations 6:10:45 and 10:30:10
"Let's go check it out!"
He floated off to the dining room.

The four others followed Fox into the previous room. They looked up at the analogue clock on the wall. Sure enough, it seemed that the time on it could be adjusted freely.
Analogue clock on wall: - Built into the wall. There is a 3-inch wide slit in the wall next to it. - The hands aren't moving. - The plastic cover can be opened, to adjust the time.

"Alright, let's do this."
Carefully Fox moved the hands of the clock. First to 4:45:10, then he adjusted it to read 6:10:45 and finally 10:30:10.

*Beep beep*
The clock beeped at Fox in confirmation. It flipped over on the wall like the opening of a cabinet, revealing a card-shaped slot behind it. Out from the slot popped a card resembling the one he'd found in the crew quarters.
Life Card: - A yellow card, with a golden '9' printed on it. - It sparkles in the light.

"Yoink!"
With a great slam, Mei shoved Fox out of the way and snatched the card from the slot.

"Hey!"
He was thrown back into thin air, he would have landed flat on his back if it weren't for the zero gravity.
Fox attempted to right himself, throwing helpless looks at Akane and Nona and an accusatory one at Mei
"What the hell?!"

"Sorry loser, but dis is mine!"
Mei kicked off through the dining room door, and made a beeline for the card scanner. With a hurried motion, she swiped the card through it.

*beep beep* *click*
With a light click sound, the door unlocked. As this happened, the screen on her bracelet lit up.
- 17 -
17 hours. She now had a long 17 hours to live.

"What?.....wait!"
He watched as Mei attempted to leave through the door.
"Damn it!"
He spun around staring at the others with disbelief.

She grabbed onto the wheel handle of the door, and pulled it open.
"See ya."
Giving them the middle finger, she dashed out, leaving them in the dust.

"I can't believe she did that..... well no, I guess I can."
He rubbed his face
"But still, dirty move"

He was about to agree, when he remembered something.... it seemed like hours ago, but he now recalled a message he found in the bathroom. What was it? He thought hard.

It was in his pocket.

Fox rummaged through his pockets hoping to find the clue he now remembered stashing away earlier. Here it was.
If you seek the golden truth, reverse the code found only in darkness.
"Wait, guys. I forgot to say, but I found this note when I was searching earlier, I didn't know what it meant then but.."
He handed the note to Akane.

"Huh...?"
Akane looked down at the paper.
"A code found only in darkness... do you mean...?"
She looked back at the closet with the nightlight message.

"That's weird... but didn't we already find the Life Card? What's the point of this?"

Post by Fox Wilder on Jun 28, 2013 15:29:14 GMT -5
"Who knows? Maybe we'll luck out and find another card. What I can dream can't I?"
He looked at the closet
"We have to at least try. If nothing else, it would serve Mei right if we found something useful and she wasn't here to see it."
