Actually, we had originally planned to visit the Emperor Penguin colony.
So there was no reason to refuse when Antarctic Star brought it up now.
Ceruno and I changed into the cold-weather gear provided by the Antarctic base. Antarctic Star pulled open the hidden door in the bedroom and led us down a ladder to the airlock.
The little penguin followed along as well.
