It passed a month after the goo incident and a week when they were lost on that damn planet that almost killed him and the entire away team. At that time, Kai was going to be promoted at the christening of the new Atlantis the next month - surely he wasn’t aware of those sudden changes but when this event occurred, Kai was still Ensign. He was casually wondering how he could save more lives developing a more efficient emergency transmission relè that was more portable and even better than those they had on Cheeseball III. And so he was in engineering that time, studying sub-space frequencies, theta and chronotonics waves and radiations and analyzing Faster-Than-Warp technology that once saved a known ship from being abandoned totally by Starfleet.
“EUREKA!” He promptly shouted in the whole halls “I just need- I just need to advise the Captain… maybe I can make it before the next away mission will begin.” He thought.
And so he rushed beforehand to meet the Captain and certainly he didn’t knew that on that day, frequent malfunctions to the vital support was causing some discomfort all around the ship.

Arriving on deck 1, Kai felt some pretty painful cold temperatures which made him almost freeze when he entered the bridge.
“Wow, what the hell is happening here?” He asked around the bridge as he crossed the lower decking “We have some issues with vital support and environmental groupings.” Replied a yellow shirted NE “good luck then.” And swiftly as a prey, he walked with pace toward the captain’s room.
As soon as he reached the grey-ish doors, Kai rang the bell and waited impatiently as he was literally being frozen like an ice-stick looking around trying to figure out probable causes of the broken systems.
