He used Kelvin because it sounds cooler.

Also get out your spare thermal suits.

It's not instant, you'll have time to get out. Also, space is absolute zero, so venting all heat would result in the station being 0 kelvin.

To the control room then.

isn't there 1 atom of hydrogen for every cubic meter of space?
that has temperature.

To the control room then.

The team heads to the control room, without incident.

: Do you know how to work one of these?
: ...Don't you?
: I am a scientist, not a janitor. I never work with this kind of thing. Is anyone in your crew with us a technician?
: Well... not with us. What are we supposed to do now?
: Manual override is always an option.

WARNING: ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SHUTDOWN IN PROGRESS - VENTING HEAT FROM STATION

: Thanks for the help, Gordon.

It starts to get considerably colder. You should get out of here quick.

Back to the shuttle then.

Right, then, let's get off as quickly as possible.

leg it

You run back as fast as possible. On the way, you see some dead pale toraai. The cold probably killed them.





Everyone is now finally back at the ship. While you were fighting on the station, the human fleet beat back the toraai, and they retreated. Although the artifact was lost, the toraai weren't able to take the station. The workers of the station who were able to escape are currently in various ships in the human fleet. A team will later be sent in to the station to return it to normal temperature and clean up the mess so the workers can return.

You are rewarded with $1000 for your efforts.

What now?
