Your crew upend boxes and tear open bags. They prod behind panels and heat up pipework. Your bo'sun points to the last unopened crate. "There - I'm sure I heard an eek! They're in there!" The crate is ejected through the airlock. That'll show them.
Game note: Find oxygen. Quickly. |

The clang of the airlock reverberates through the ship. His watery struggle is brief.
Game note: Find oxygen. Quickly. |

| Retreat to your cabin
Lie still. Rest. Preserve what little air you have. The crew must manage until you wake. Game note: This will increase your Terror. |

You ignore the hammering on your door. Your bed is sodden with sweat. Is your breathing quickening? Check - a hand to your chest. It rises and falls with your heartbeat, which is to say, quickly. Take only shallow breaths.
Your crew are back at the door. One of them is sobbing.
