Garth, Kate, and Scar walked down a corridor, opening doors as they went and looking inside. So far, they hadn't found anything of much interest, but the ship was big, and they had only explored a fraction of it.
They came to the next door and pushed the button. Nothing happened. They tried it again. Still nothing. Garth walked up to the door and tried to pull it open, but it wouldn't move. Kate and Scar walked up and helped him, but the door still wouldn't budge.
Garth pulled out his radio. "Dad, come in," he said.
Meanwhile, in the control room, Humphrey was by himself, looking through the ships computer when he heard a voice coming from Tony's bag.
"Dad, come in, its Garth. Dad, come in."
Humphrey walked over to the bag and found the source of the voice. Tony's radio. He spoke into it. "Hello, this is Humphrey."
"Humphrey? Where's Tony?" asked Garth.
"Bathroom… I think."
"Well, Humphrey, we've found a door that wont open. I was hoping one of you could open it from there. Were on level three, sub-junction C."
"Hang on," said Humphrey as he looked at the computer screen. "I think I've found where you are. The door you're trying to open is flashing red."
"Can you open it from there?"
"Are you sure that's such a good idea?"
"Why?"
"Well, red means bad, doesn't it?"
"Just open it, Humphrey." Garth sounded like he was becoming impatient.
"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you." Humphrey started pressing a few buttons.
Down in the corridor, the door opened and much to Garth, Kate, and Scar's surprise, there was a big gaping hole in the ceiling of the room. A force field was flickering on and off over the hole, causing the air to be gradually sucked out into the vacuum of space.
"Close it!" shouted Garth into the radio.
"I'm trying! I'm trying!" said Humphrey. A second later, the door closed shut again.
"Okay," sighed Garth. "Nobody opens that door."
Winston slowly opened his eyes. He found himself in a room he didn't recognize, laying on a bed. Over at some desk was his wife going through some medical equipment. "Eve?" he said.
She turned around. "Winston." She walked over and knelt beside him.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"You almost died. You took a nasty hit to the head when you hit the wall."
"Where are we?" He groaned as he tried to sit up. Eve gently pushed him back down. "Easy," she said. "We're on a ship. It's ancient. And we're pretty much on the other side of the universe."
Winston was shocked. "Can we get home?"
"Tony and the other smart people say they're working on that."
"I better go see…" He groaned as he tried to sit up again.
"Winston, you shouldn't try to get up. You could have a concussion."
Winston reluctantly lay back on the bed. If there was one thing he hated, it was feeling useless.
Garth Kate and Scar were still searching the ship when they suddenly spotted movement up ahead of them. A small spherical object was floating down the corridor ahead of them. They all raised their machine guns just as it turned a corner.
Garth Gave Kate and Scar the 'follow my lead' signal and started following the ball down the corridor. The ball eventually turned into a room. The three wolves walked up in front of the room and pointed their guns inside, only to find Humphrey.
"Whoa! Hey!" shouted Humphrey when he saw them pointing their guns at him.
The three lowered their weapons when they saw him. The room was small and it had a computer consol inside. Then Kate spotted the ball lying beside the computer screen.
"Humphrey, what is that thing?" she demanded.
"Come here, I'll show you," said Humphrey.
The three walked inside the room and up to the computer screen next to Humphrey. They saw that he had somehow plugged the ball into the computer, and video of the inside of the ship was playing on the screen.
"It's a camera," said Humphrey. "A floating camera. I decided to call it a Kino. I figured we could use them to explore potentially dangerous parts of the ship."
"Them?" asked Garth.
"Yeah, there's a bunch more of them." He turned around a pulled another Kino out of some sort of dispensing machine and through it up into the air in front of them. It started floating in the air like magic, but it was actually because of some antigravity technology inside it.
"That's good thinking, Humphrey," said Kate.
"Yeah," said Garth.
Humphrey grinned. "You sound surprised."
