"That was amazing!"
Kyle realizes what they need to do.
"Oh, we're going to need to work fast. Angel do you need me to carry you?"

"Sure?"

[kj1225]

Kyle nods and picks Angel up jogging to the location they need to be at.

[MrVoid]

((Assuming for times sake that everyone follows.))
They arrive on the air conditioning deck just in the nick of time.  There's a lady standing outside looking shifty.  "You Jon's new friends?"

[kj1225]

"Yep."

[MrVoid]

He looks at the group, "Only four of you? Hm, whatever.  Just don't get caught or die and things'll be okay." He tosses an identification key to Kyle and waves as he walks away.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Angel gets out of Kyle's arms.

[kj1225]

Kyle shrugs and enters presumably.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Angel follows.

((Short maze time.  Yes I am upset that FTL does not let you design your own ships or allow you to shift the positions of the various systems, or allow an onboard fire suppression system.))

As with all important systems in a worldship, the Air Conditioning controls are moved once someone leaves the system to prevent an aggressive ship from targeting it effectively.  The exact location of the system at any given time is known only to the Keeper, though they tend to stay in the same general location at any given time.  This means that there is a maze of passageways leading to the system.  Left, right, or straight?

Or if that fails...
>Right

[MrVoid]

xyzzy?

These corridors are largely featureless, but sounds from around corners can be heard, in this case, it seems that there is some barking coming from the South.  To save myself a headache, you went east previously, so North, East or South?

[kj1225]

South to see what the barking is.

((Xyzzy is a magic word from Colossal Cave Adventure that is referenced in many text adventure games as a cheat code.))

[MrVoid]

It appears that you have stumbled upon a kennel of slaughterhounds, quite possibly the most brutal creatures that humans have ever created without genetic engineering.  They sit at twice the size of a Great Dane, have the tracking abilities of a bloodhound and the temperament of a starving Chihuahua.  You're lucky that these ones haven't been let out yet, but doubtless, there will be more out on the prowl.  You quickly return to your previous crossroads before they pick up your scent.  North or East.

[kj1225]

>South

[MrVoid]

You return to the kennel.
