Echo III

Okay, Luckett, you've got just one more bit of shrapnel to get before you can go back inside and someone else can come outside and fix this fucking spaceship.

I hate doing this. I'm not supposed to be doing this. I am not supposed to be doing this. Fuck.

UGH!

There we go, finally. Okay, I'm fucking done, I'm -

WHAT THE FUCK -

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHIT -

SHIT -

Shit -

Oh shit -

Oh, fucking shit.

How am I floating away?

Is that another part of the old satellite?

No. No way.

Oh my god, no way.

...

i'm floating away.

I'm just floating away in space.

I'M JUST FLOATING AWAY IN OUTER SPACE.

OKAY, NEW PLAN.

PLAN of ACTION.

OKAY.

Okay, PLAN.

First, how do I stop spinning?

How do I stop spinning?

I can't - how do I stop spinning.

I don't know how to stop spinning.

Fucking spinning, bitch. Okay.

How do we stop from spinning?!?!?!

Opposite force, think, Luckett, think.

Okay. Okay. What makes opposite force?

Like a jetpack, which we do not have. Can we let out oxygen anywhere? Do we have anything to let out oxygen with? How do I do that?

Why didn't I think of something and practice it earlier I'm such an idiot.

...

Okay, maybe I'll get used to the spinning.

Maybe it's fine. What's next.

How do I get back to the ship?

Where is the ship?

...

Where is the fucking horizon??

...

WHERE IS THE SHIP AND WHERE IS THE HORIZON AND WHERE IS THE SHIP ON THE HORIZON I CAN'T ORIENT MYSELF I CAN'T -

...

breathe.

breathe.

....

Okay.

...

The tether rope is gone. Right, cool. Nice, love that.

I can't even tell how far I've gone, fuck.

Are coms working?

Please?

Oh god, please?

Fuck.

...

I'm going to fucking die like this.

...

That's just it, I'm going to die like this.

I can't handle the spinning anymore.

...

WHUUAAHH -

OKAY NO. EYES CLOSED IS WORSE.

FUCK.

Okay just, just relax.

Relax about it. Just spin for a while and try to not think about it so that then you can think more clearly and find a way to stop fucking spinning, okay?

So just chill.

...

Alright.

Chill.

...

Okay, I guess all I have to do is just relax and float away to my death spinning like a fucking pinwheel.

I guess I hope I die from suffocation first. Cool.

...

How do you relax?

...

How do you not think about anything?

...

Like.

...

I can't stop thinking. I can't not think it's not possible.

Literally, what would I do instead? I have nothing to do I am spinning away to my death in outer space like some goddamn spinning top.

Holy shit.

...

No.

...

No, I can't take this.

...

...

...

i can't -

i can't take this.

...

how -

how do i shut this down?

...

what should I do?

...

Okay, new plan.

How do I shut this down while spinning?

Can I - can I reach the -

Yes, okay.

Now just one yank and I'm gone.

...

One yank and I stop spinning.

...

What a fucking way to go.

I never thought it would end like this.

But I can't take the spinning, and there's no telling how long it'll take them to find me.

If they find me.

...

Okay, bye, I guess, to the Universe.

Since that's the only one who's here for this besides me.

Love that.

...

Okay.

...

Here goes -
