Sebastian was a little startled by Lt. Gath’s voice. He tried to recall his EVA training, but battling a claustrophobic episode made it difficult. He tried to relax and remain calm, just with the EVA Suit repeating its warning, which just added to the stress.
Sebastian closed his eyes and tried to relax; he tried thinking of relaxing things. He envisioned playing Futbol, long walks on the beaches of Guadalajara, especially Playa de los Muertos, and he recalled taking long moonlit walks with Blanca, her long blond hair and green eyes, with gold flecks catching the moonlight.
Relax, breathe, slow and steady.
Suddenly, Dr. O’Fee’s voice filled his suit via the open comm channel. [Sebastian.] Her eyes were locked with his, keeping a calm voice. [We are about to go home any second now. I just need you to be with me right now.] Sebastian opened his eyes. He smiled because Dr. O’Fee had the same eyes as his beloved Blanca.
[ Sí Blanca, contigo aquí puedo lograr cualquier cosa.] Said Sebastian. Sebastian then realized he was being a bit unprofessional. [ Excuse me, Doctor, I meant no disrespect. ]
Sebastian wasn’t sure how long he could hold out. But he knew that people were counting on him. He watched the Hyper spanner and the alien bus as long as he could.
Sebastian made the sign of the cross and said a little prayer,
Santa María, Madre de Dios, por favor intercede por mí, en el nombre de Jesús, que los Hiperspanners aguanten, Amén.
Sebastian felt the transporter beam take hold, but in his panicked state, the transport seemed to be taking forever.
“Come on, come on!!” Sebastian said to no one in particular.
Sebastian wasn’t sure if the burn hole in his EVA suit made his claustrophobia episode worse or if the claustrophobia made the EVA experience worse. He was relieved that Dr. O’Fee had connected her suit to his; he felt his anxiety a little less, but the difference was modest at best.
Great Sebastian, you've made a complete fool of yourself in front of your shipmates. You have no business even being on the same ship as them.
After a few seconds, the familiar surroundings of the Zephyr’s Sickbay. He lost his balance due to the sudden change in gravity. He felt his anger and shame churning inside him. He had embarrassed himself in front of his crewmates. Sebastian tore his helmet off and threw it to the floor.
?Ahhh, hijo de p**a, te odio con cada fibra de mi ser. Deberían reciclarte y convertirte en una maceta.” Said Sebastian.
Sebastian wanted to just scream at the top of his lungs. His emotions were churning like a raging sea, embarrassment, anger, fear, and stupidity all tumbling inside his brain. His team members all performed flawlessly, as if they had been doing Space Walks all their lives, but he was a one-man clown show.
Sebastian slumped against the bulkhead, sliding down it until he was sitting on the floor. He held his head in his hands. He wished that he could just crawl away and hide.
