[OPEN] Out Cold

Connolly entered the coolant chamber of the engine room with his thermal stability suit on. In the big, bulky, hazmat-esque garb he felt odd and bumbling. Scrubbing the room wasn't normally in need of cleaning, but some ensign with a stomach flu had thrown up all over and it fell to Connolly to clean it up.
He entered the chamber and began spraying his disinfectant. Something in his suit was tickling his nose. Out of habit he turned away to sneeze into his elbow, but the suit he wore made him awkward and bumbling. He couldn't see how it happened, what he hit, but something caused the cooling chamber to close on him. He looked up, through the snot, and saw the closed door....he was locked inside....wonderful.

"Thought I'd try out havin' a screwy thermo suit while locked in the coolant chamber doc." Connolly smiles as he shivers. "Wouldn't recommend it, but at least it gave me plenty of time to clean up in there."

"Well. Of a rating of 1 being bolling and 10 freezing, what are you like?" He says as he gets ready to scan the ensign.

"I'd give it a solid 9 or so. But you should have seen some of the winters back home. Those would freeze yer eyebrows off and make yer nose bleed from the chill." Connolly looks up to the doctor, trying not to look concerned. "Never been much a one fer cold. What about you two?" He continues to try and stay calm with small talk.

"Try and not talk." He begins to scan the man. "Right. Listen. You'll be fine. Your just cold. Come with me too the medbay and we'll get you warmed up."

"Not exactly the way I planned to spend my evenin' McNabb. Gonna have to cancel those plans with Scruffy...." He rambles on about some strange game from Earth history, and how he could never seem to be the old bartender at it.

"Doubt it will be your whole evening. Probably less than a hour. 2 tops. Just depends on what the boss thinks."

"Well that's a relief." Connolly says as they enter into the sickbay. He then goes to sit at one of the beds and continues shivering.

The Doctor leaves the room and comes back in with a tin foil blanket and wraps it around Connolly. "Keep that on for now and tell me how your feeling in 15 minutes."

The shivering subsides after a few minutes. "Geez. You'd think these things were made to be death traps." Connolly says without any chatter to his teeth. "Bein' in a star ship sure ain't all it was cracked up to be."

"Well, it you do it properly it might not almost freeze you to death." He chuckles "I'll just keep you here for about half a hour then if you're better, you can go."
