the big blast doors are ringing and thundering shut across the elevator holes , and guys are running all over the hangar bay , their boots thudding to their battle stations and you cut across the hangar bay and into the repair one locker where you get your sound-powered phones out of their little box and put them on and test your connection with dc central [ 70 ] while the hosemen pull on their firefighting suits and obas [ 71 ] and helmets and then flake out the fire hoses and the chief is hollering the whole time and you are stuffing your pants into your socks and buttoning your collar too tight against your adams apple [ 72 ] and hes trying to take muster and when hes done you shout down the wire that you are manned and ready while the 1mc ticks off five minutes .
