Gath heard Cortez as he reported his situation, the mounting panic could be heard in his voice. Gath looked down to see a thin bit of vapor under pressure from the arm of his EVA suit.
"Mister Cortez, Don't worry about the leak. Slow your breathing and remain as calm as you can. Even if you were completely exposed to open space, you'll be back on the ship before you lose all pressure. If you begin to feel the lack of pressure, you'll notice it from your eyes first, they will begin to feel dry. If that happens, just close your eyes tightly and hold your breath. The transporter process will be complete in under 30 seconds. Even an untrained cadet could hold their breath for 30 seconds and you are a trained graduate and Star Fleet Officer. You'll be fine. You don't need to trust me, just trust yourself. You've got he his, Cortez."
Gath voice wasn't commanding or scolding. In fact, it was very neutral and calm. They were already being transported and there was little else anyone could do right now.
