Heat Sheild's failing 25% Impact in 32:50
Riley was typing away, while me and Martha waited. I was getting bored, we hadn't got long and we needed to move.
"Hurry up will you." I sigh
"Alright. Fix the clamp on." I did so and Martha looked back.
"What are you typing?" Martha wondered
"These doors trip code is the answer to a random question set by the crew. Nine tours back, we got drunk, thought them up. Reckoning was if we're hijacked, we're the only ones who know al the answers." he explained.
"So you type in the right answer..." Martha trails off
"This sends a remote pulse to the clamp. But we only get one chance per door. Get it wrong the whole system freezes." he continues. Oh great, no second chances.
"Better not get it wrong then." I smiled
"Okay. Date of SS Pentallian's first flight? That's alright. Go!" the clamp flashed green and Martha pushed open the door.
"Yes!"
"28 more to go." We ran to the next door and fixed the clamp on ready for the next question when we were interrupted.
"Kate. Where are you?" Dad asked over the comms.
"Area 29 Door 28." I answered
"Yeah, you've got to move fast." he replies, not really helping with the situation. I knew there was a sense of urgency and didn't need to be reminded of it. We would be having words when we got through this.
"We're doing our best." Martha replied
"Leave us to get on with it, we'll get there." I huff rolling my eyes.
"Fine the next number in the sequence. 313, 331, 367...What?" Riley asked completely baffled to the question that had been asked
"You said the crew knew all the answers. " Martha looked back incredulously.
"The crews changed since we set the questions." he added.
"You're joking" (#donna voice) I replied and rested my head against the door in annoyance and frustration.
"379" Dad stated
"What?" I asked I wasn't a full on genius let's just make that clear, I was raised by humans and i'm only 14 years old. I still had a lot to learn, so no judgements.
"It's a sequence of happy primes. 379."
"Happy what?" I handed Martha the clamp, my arms were getting sore.
"Just enter it"
"Are you sure we only get one chance." Riley stressed as I shook my hands then push him away from the screen.
"Move" I order and enter the number The clamp beeps and the door opens.
"We're through!" I cheer and turn to Riley. "Please don't underestimate him, he's like really old." I ran through and Riley grabbed the other thing.
"Keep moving as fast as you can. And, girls, be careful. There maybe something else on this ship."
"Anytime you want to unnerve us, feel free." Martha retorted to my Dad about his impending doom of a warning.
"Will do, thanks." I groaned
"Sometimes I cannot believe that I have a child for a father." I mumble and we move onto the next door. We really needed to pick up the pace but it felt like there were about ten different things going against us.
