"Are....you alright, Blake?" Numb said. The way he was looking in the vent looked....like he was fainting or something.
"Uh, anyway. Let's see what the rotted milk splatter looks like." Numb drifted to it, and looked to see if he could find anything significant.

...!
"Blake. Get away from that vent. Have you forgotten that the vents in this ship are filling it with tubocurarine!?"

"Nngh..."
Blake began to feel very sore, very quickly. For the second time since he'd been captured he began to feel very confused. This was not a feeling he had ever experienced. Was it because of the...?
"T-There's our screwdriver. It's stuck in the ventilation shaft. Seems like Zero decided he wouldn't give it to us that easily."
Blake quickly turned toward the rest of the group and gave them a glare he hoped would shut them up.
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. But if that's the case we need to hurry up and get out as soon as we can."

"Yeah... with a vent that size, the gas in this room's gotta be pretty intense. Let's not dawdle."
Wataru turned to Numb, who was looking at the milk stains on the wall.
"What have you found now, kid?"

Among the spoiled milk splatter was some strange writing. It was hard to recognize at first, but it definitely made a series of numbers and symbols.  |

"Huh. This must have something to do with the food we saw upstairs." Numb said, looking at it.
"I can make out shapes. But...some are different colors. And the shapes are next to each other. Any ideas what it means?"

Blake floated over to take a closer look.
"Judging from the paper with the meals upstairs...I think it's pretty clear that those shapes are meant to be numbers. It makes sense, seeing as all of those numbers have two digits."

"Hmm...... I agree with Blake."
Hidemi nodded.
"Though I don't think we should assume that the colors are important. It's difficult to tell, but the difference in color seems to be caused by the lighting in the room. Nothing else."

Wataru held his hat to his head.
"Well, if there's supposed to be some sort of pattern here, I sure don't see it."

Blake closed his eyes, deep in thought about the puzzle in front of them.
"We may find more clues in this room. If Zero left this here for us, who's to say he didn't leave something else in the room for us to figure it out?"

"That's a good point. There's no telling just how elaborate this puzzle may be."

"Oh, what's this?" Numb looked over, and saw the note for crew members. "This may help." He grabbed it off the wall, and began to read.

"Oh, 70? We should probably go get some more hot water, maybe? We'll put the thermostat in it, if we can. Check if it's removable from the wall, one of you." Numb said.

"Sounds simple enough."
Wataru held onto the thermometer, and gave it a pull.

...However, the thermometer wouldn't come free. It was built into the wall.

"Nnnnnnnngh...! Gaaaah!"
Wataru held his aching hand in pain.
"Heheh... I uh... guess it's stuck on there pretty tight."

Wordlessly, Numb drifted over to the freezer, and tried to open it.

As hard as he pulled however, the freezer would not open.

"Alrighty. We should go get the pot again. Will you all come with me?" Numb said, as he began to drift away for the door.

"I suppose it wouldn't do me any good staying in this room longer than I have to. I'll go. Though I can't speak for the rest of you."
Blake began to follow Numb out of the room.

"It's about time we all got a break from the toxic air in here."
Hidemi followed too.

"OK. The pot, and the water." Numb said, as he grabbed the pot, and filled it with hot water. "Ready to go back downstairs?"

After a moment to inhale deep breaths of the galley air, the four of them reopened the floor door and descended back down to the food storage room.

Wataru looked over at the thermostat on the wall.
"Alright, give the thing a good sizzling."
