Ianto was standing there staring at the morgue drawers as Owen wandered past and he stopped to look down at him with interest calling out, "They don't work. They are sealed though."

"No, just thinking about it." Ianto answered looking up, "We still have those hover boards we used to move the heavy corpses right?"

"Yeah?" Owen took a few steps down into the cavity, "why?"

"Well, it's a long shot" Ianto shrugged, "Look, the thermal device that keeps this facility humming is tempered with those fuel cells right? Jack said they would go for several hundred years, right?"

"Right" Owen frowned still not getting it.

"We keep the alien bodies and such on ice along with the inmate food and stuff, in those huge chest freezers right?" Ianto asked and again Owen nodded slowly.

"Well, can't we throw a plastic hood over this med-bay like a green house, rip out a couple of freezer compressor motors and hook them up to the energy gird?" Ianto asked, "One huge cool room?"

Owen slapped himself in the face as he saw what Ianto was suggesting, then turned while gripping the railing to look up at Jack who was calmly looking over the top railing. "What did I miss?"

"a genius at work" Own said as he brushed past, racing to look for Toshiko who came over to look down at Ianto with something akin to love as Owen explained, "well toots?"

"Yes, it would work, provided we keep the plastic over it, like a cold room. Yes, we make one stairwell the only access and completely block the other one with plastic, the folds in the plastic where each sheet overlaps would act as vents as it will take at least three sheets to cover the expanse with about half a metre of overlap, more than enough give to let the entire thing breathe. Easier to simply tear the lids off the freezers and place them on their sides to fill the space than go through too much effort extracting the compressors in this heat."

Despite the heat Tosh and Owen worked to cover the med bay with the plastic and used cable tries to attach it to the metal railings surrounding the pit as this would also help with ventilation. Jack and Ianto headed down the twp levels to get the freezers and Ianto nervously checked Janet who seemed unphased by the heat as she munched on a pumpkin he had rolled in earlier.

"How many of those left?" Jack asked as he glanced back.

"Eight, they are all starting to turn though so two a day until they are gone" Ianto sighed, "MREs go down OK, she doesn't mind those either and we have about ten years worth of those for all of us, including Myf."

Using the hover boards they moved the entire freezers to the main hub floor so the others could help with positioning, important right now not to outshine another member and they all watched Gwen as she stood in the water pool watching them.

No worries there.

"Gwen, we agreed no going in the pool" Toshiko called out, "That water might be needed."

"I don't care" Gwen said snidely, "I'm hot."

"Yeah?" Tosh straightened up, grease on her face as she glared at Gwen and shoved her glasses further up her nose, "And you think this is cooling work?"

Gwen glowered, "I don't know anything about motors."

"Not even motor boats?" Owen muttered and Ianto choked then slapped at him and mouthed 'sexual harassment' before sniggering softly.

Another hour and Toshiko finished the patch, then flicked a switch starting the motors. They stood and crossed their fingers as she looked over at Gwen who was moving from foot to foot and before they could react she raced down the steps of the med bay.

"Really? Watched us do all the work and then is first in?" Owen spluttered, "tell me again why we didn't shut her out?"

"Don't look at me" Ianto replied in a low growl, "I'm thinking of feeding her to Janet if we need extra food sources."

Owen blinked and then laughed softly as Jack ushered them down and the change was noticeable, not as cold as a freezer but cool enough to relax.

"Over the next few hours this should get quite cool. We turn them off for a few hours, then back on" Toshiko said and Gwen swung to face her.

"Why? I mean, leave them on all the time, it's soo cool" she demanded.

"And when the motors burn out?" Toshiko spat, "We have to rest them, temper them or we lose them."

Gwen pouted, "Well how was I supposed to know that!"

Ianto checked the medical sample fridge and found it had been hooked up as well, giving a thumbs up to Toshiko who grinned back. Ianto then began moving drinks from the upstairs fridge into it, revelling in the hope of cool drinks soon.

"I'm not eating or drinking anything out of that!" Gwen wailed, "Gross."

"I will have her share" Owen said happily, "She can eat pumpkins with Janet."

Jack glanced at Ianto as the comment about feeing Gwen to Janet was thought of and they both tried not to grin as they knew they were both thinking it.

Jack watched Ianto finally relax and he hoped this would be the beginning of some more calm living arrangements.

Then Gwen huffed again.
