The team walked through the ship’s deck.
“Empty,” Drake commented.
“You have a keen eye for the obvious, oh fearless leader...” Icarus immediately said, as if he had been waiting his whole life for an opportunity to say those words.
“It is colder than usual out here...” Adem added. “Maybe the crew is inside trying to keep themselves warm.”
“Let’s go inside, then,” Lykopis said, walking towards a door that led to a cabin. She was the first to reach it, and as she placed her hand on the handle she felt that it was completely frozen even in spite of the gloves she wore. As she moved the handle to open the door, the rest of the team heard a snapping sound.
“What happened?” Link asked.
Lykopis turned back to look at the rest, and showed them the broken handle in her hand.
“Great work, Lykopis!” Icarus said, as he started clapping. “Now how are we gonna...”
Before Sidewiner could finish the phrase, Lykopis turned back towards the door and with a single impulse from her left leg charged against it. The door fell to the floor and the Amazon stood inside the dark cabin.
“...get inside,” Icarus ended. He stood open mouthed watching Lykopis as the rest walked into the cabin.
It was completely dark inside. Link found a light switch next to the door as he walked in, but when he pressed it nothing happened.
“I feel it’s remarkably colder in here,” Edmund said as they walked deeper into the ship, “and the cold doesn’t usually bother me.”
Icarus considered asking Lykopis if being cold all the time bothered her, but he discarded the comment because he couldn’t find a proper way to phrase it to make the joke understandable. It was too cold to think straight.
