As the boiling water imposed on the thermostat's reading, its temperature meter went up drastically. Staying afloat in the air due to the lack of gravity, the water made no fall to the ground, allowing its heat to fully set into the monitor.
*beep beep beep beep*
With the temperature now reaching just above the yellow mark, the thermostat began to sound its fire alarm, and the locks on the fridge and freezer released themselves.

Blake began to look mildly pleased.
"I heard something unlock. What do you suppose it could be? Kid, that freezer didn't look like it opened when you tried to pull on it...do you suppose it could be that?"

"Why don't you give it a try? I'm willing to bet there's something important in there."

Blake moved over to the freezer and tried to open the door at the suggestion of Wataru.

"Mmmm, mmm. Looks like they've got some ravioli stored back here! It's been ages since I've had a good bowl of ravioli."

Against his will, Blake's stomach grumbled at the sight of food. He had forgotten that it had been hours or possibly even a day since he had last eaten due to the 'extreme' circumstances he faced.
"Well, there's no harm in cooking them. It seems like the oven will be put to use after all. But there's still the refrigerador underneath. Let's see if it's hiding anymore goodies..."
Blake reached under the freezer and grabbed the refrigerador's handle and tried to pull it open.

"Once you get done with that, why don't we take the chicken upstairs and cook it?" Numb suggests.

"Yeah. And the ravioli."
Wataru was looking at the pack intently.

The refrigerator opened just like the freezer. Inside was...
- Fridge -
Is deep. Has several shelves and drawers.
Tomatoes:
- Some large tomatoes. Judging by their size, they're probably genetically modified.
Radishes:
- A small plastic container of radishes. They look... radishy.
Lettuce:
- A head of lettuce. Or is that cabbage?
Salad dressing:
- A bottle of dressing for salad. A few weeks past its expiration date.
Jar of honey:
- A jar of sweet, rich-looking honey.
Potatoes:
- A bunch of 'taters, inside the left drawer.
Carrots:
- Some carrots, inside the right drawer.
Long celery stick:
- An especially long celery stick. Seems to be more than half an arm's length.

"I bet we could use this celery stick and the jar of honey together to get whatever is in the vent!" Numb exclaimed, suddenly realizing.

"Hm... that's quite clever, Numb. That does seem like it could work."
Hidemi turned her head to Blake.
"Blake? I think you have the longest arms."

The thought of going back over to the vent made Blake cringe, albeit ever so slightly.
"Gee, thanks. Glad to see you're still a team player. Fine. I'll do it, but if I get hurt, there's gonna be hell to pay."
After this somewhat ominous statement, Blake grabbed the jar of honey and the celery stick. He stuck the stick into the jar, making sure to lather enough honey onto it. Afterwards, he headed over to the vent, making sure to keep an efficient pace. Quickly, Blake attempted to stick the celery into the vent and grab the screwdriver with it.

Blake could immediately feel his muscles beginning to relax at an alarming pace. As he inched the celery stick deeper into the vent, he could feel it hit the screw driver. He wasn't quite sure if it had stuck onto the honey, as he could barely keep his eyelids open in the intense blast of the muscle relaxant. But if he was going to get the screwdriver out of there, he'd have to trust his slowly-degrading sense of touch.

Blake's breathing hastened, and he found it was a struggle to keep it down under the threat of the toxin. As fast as his mind could process, he attempted to focus and regain control of his aching muscles. Gaining a newfound grip on the celery stick, Blake tried to pull it out of the vent after pushing it further into it, unsure if he had even gotten a hold of the screwdriver.

As he pulled the stick out, he felt a slight tug on the end of it. It was the mass of the screwdriver, that he had successfully gotten a hold of. The screwdriver came out along with the celery, stuck barely to the very end of it.

Wataru was watching closely as the man began to pull his arm out of the vent.
"Did you get it? Well?"

"Woah! Good job, Blake, haha!" Numb said with a surprisingly happy smile.
"U-uh!" He stuttered when he noticed the others all staring at him. "Let's go unscrew the stove...." he said, back to normal.

Blake immediately sank down to avoid any further exposure to the chemical that had already affected his muscles. The celery stick flew away from his hand as he could no longer even close it into a fist. Ignoring everyone, Blake closed his eyes and put his head against the wall.
"T-The next time we encounter...any life threatening puzzles...I am NOT going a-anywhere near it."

"You have our sincerest gratitude, Blake. Your boldness will not be forgotten."
She picked the screwdriver out of the air, and handed it back to him with an almost-joking smirk. She turned back to the others.
"Before we go back up, we should bring this food along with us."

"Way ahead of you there."
Wataru had already stuffed all the freezer food into the pockets of his coat. The vegetables in the fridge still remained though.

Feeling his strength returning, Blake grabbed onto the screwdriver and pocketed it.
"After an experience like that, I could really use a meal..."
He headed towards the refrigerador to grab as many vegetables as he could carry in his pockets.

"Well, times a wastin'...." Numb says. "Let's unlock the stove, shall we?" He grabbed the screwdriver, ducked under the cabinet, and undid the screws.
