“Great,” the Captain said.

“I vote for before,” Vora said, even though it meant being in an EVA suit for longer and of which she normally wouldn’t want. While her claustrophobia was rather specific, she never liked being in a suit longer than she had to. “And then we can do as you suggest and test the boots first too,” she said to Johann.

“Yeah. Let’s suit up now, regardless of where we’ll be during all of this,” the Captain said. “You should probably be at the shuttle controls, definitely to check the sensors once we kick this thing off,” he said to Vora.

Vora simply nodded. She’d be on top of it, but she could admit it was good to have a specific task in this case. It would keep her nerves at bay.

He looked at the engineer, whose name he couldn’t remember. “Do you need my help getting the door open, or have you got that covered?”

The engineer tilted her head in thought for a moment. “I’ll need your help to have it go faster. We’ll need to access the manual overrides on both sides of the bay doors and while it doesn’t need to be done simultaneously, doing it at the same time saves time. Oh, be sure to anchor yourself with a safety line in addition to magnetizing the boots. Just want to be extra safe with things.”

Moving over to a nearby storage locker, Vora found an EVA suit that would fit her and went through the process of putting it on, pushing away the tremor of unease that moved through her as each piece went into place. She’d wait to initiate the helmet and visor until the last minute. “You know, having shorter hair makes the helmet so much easier,” she joked idly. Levity certainly never hurt in a crisis.
