Maybe we're being asked to chill while looking at cute fox kits sitting in front of a fire. Perhaps some sort of mind game to make us feel colder because we want to be in front of the fire too?

Its zen! You have to chill by not chilling. <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='

Same way as you chill when the sun is exploading and your observation station's shields and air-conditioning are on the blink, I suppose.<br><br>Only less extreme.

Feh. Why the smeggery is O&M refusing to update for me? I'm still only seeing thursday's strip...<br><br>EDIT: Scratch that. .org works, but .net still believes it's 4 days ago, it seems.

"Try the mirrors" would be a standard response to that.<br><br>I don't know where the mirrors are, however. Except for the one on my wall that's not really useful as a mirror because it has a tiger on it and etched metalic for the majority of the center with only a small one inch or so border round the edge which is useful as a mirror. It's nice and shiny though. Seem to recall I got it from an RSPCA charity shop.<br><br>...I think I just digressed a little there.

Isn't there some sort of remote control for that?

The only control switch was on the other side of the rather dangerous engine room--gigantic ventilation propellers spinning with their blades coming right across the catwalk. Not very well planned out, I must say; but then, most "unsinkable" ships have design flaws.<br><br>"You're telling me. I was on another ship once. They said that was unsinkable.
