<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>EVENT ONE:  Thin Ice</strong></span><br/><br/>A deep toned chime went off in three short bursts. It had that baritone of a giant church bell and rumbled throughout the ships innards deep into the recesses of every corner. As it did so the small door control panels flickered and a thin red light glowed around each of them. It wasn't something that our inmates would be aware of but the message of the red light was relatively obvious, something was seriously wrong.<br/><br/>The thin red lights that rimmed each panel stayed lit even when the panels themselves flickered. The lights on the PODs went out and plunged everything into darkness. The control panels themselves also went out. Now there was only the thin red light illuminating. The glow barely penetrated the the dark, in fact it only just qualified as a glow and nothing more.<br/><br/>An echoing snap like the ice on a frozen lake reverberated throughout the ship. It wasn't a small popping sound, the metal of the ship sung with it's vibrations..  The deep toned chime went off again in three short bursts. If there was any doubt if this was some sort of an alarm those events together should be enough to dispel it.<br/><br/>
