RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] The Mystery Deepens

"Could it be the killer?!" Seymour whimpered, "He's come after us for trying to reveal him!! OH god this is all your fault Keats!!"
"MY FAULT?" Keats replied "I was content to stay in my quarters and get drunk!"
"Yes well you provoked him!"
"Or her!" Amber and Wildflower piped.
"Look Look!" Phil murmered. "Do you think we ought to find out what it was before we start jumping to conclusions?!"
"Quite right!" said Seymour "Young man, go outside take a look!"
"Why me?!" Phil asked,
"Because you're cheif of security and I'm a royal ambassador thats why!"
"YOU'RE the one whos been taking charge of this investigation!! You should go!!" Wildflower said.
"But it's hardly a Royal Ambas..."
"FOR SMEGS SAKE! WE'LL ALL GO!!" Keto shouted. "That way, if it IS the killer we ALL know who it is and we can stop throwing around these wild accusations!!"
"Right" said Phil.."Now does anyone know where the kiddy space-suits are?!"
 
15 minutes later, the group were fastening there helmets, Phil, had found a 'Power Ranger's' EV suit that fit him snugly in his reduced size. He was however having lewd thoughts about the Pink Ranger.
"Right, well if everyones ready, shall we..JACK...put the sword DOWN sharp things and EV suits don't go well together..." Keto ordered.
The crew all made they're way into the airlock, and the micro-thrusters carried them out to the space next to the hull.
Seconds later, the airlock sealed.
"What?..." Phil said, concerned "Holly, why did you seal the airlock?!"
"I didnt Phil, it was overridden manually..." Came holly's voice back over the suits internal comm.
"Great..."
"By the way.." Holly said, returning "I nearly forgot, you've all only got 5 minutes of air left..."
"WHAT?!" They all shouted "WHAT THE SMEG DO YOU MEAN?!"
"Easy easy, save your breath!!"
The crew looked at each other, and it was at this pont they realised... were one member of the group was missing.......
 
 
<tag, if you're not the killer you're in the group that left the ship..>
