I was under orders.

I had no choice.

How's it goin', Cat ?

What's the scoop, Ace ?

Well, I can get power

to this module in sub bay...

ifI reroute these buses,

but I gotta get past the mains,

which are a total meltdown.

[ Sighs ] Bud, there won't be enough

to run the heaters.

In a few hours, this place

is gonna be as cold as a meat locker.

What about O-2 ?

Yeah, well, braceyourself.

Ifwe close offthe sections

we're not using, we have

about maybe 1 2 hours' worth.

Storm's gonna last

a lot longer than 1 2 hours.

Yeah, well,

I can maybe extend that. Maybe.

There's some storage tanks outboard

next to the wrecked module.

I'll have to go outside,

though, and tie onto them.

Hey, Linds.

- Linds.

- Yeah ?

I'm glad you're here.

[ Sighs ]

Yeah.

I'm not.

Hey.

Found Cab 3.

Oh, geez.

[Hippy]

That's Perry.

That's it, then.

Finler, McWorter, Dietz and Perry.

Jesus.

Uh, wejust

leave 'em there ?

For now.

We got no choice.

First priority's

to get something to breathe.

[BudOverRadio]

I'm under

the starboard trimodule.

[ Lindsey Over Radio ]

You guys really screwed up my rig.

There's a lot

ofwreckage out here.

- Well, don't get fouled.

- Hit me with that 9/1 6, okay ?

- Yeah.

- Thankyou.

So, thereyou were.

Yeah, there we were,

side by side on the same ship

for two months.

I'm a tool pusher, and we're testing

this automated derrick ofhers.

We get back on the beach

and we're living together.

Doesn't mean

you had to marry her.

Well, we were due to go back out

on the same ship-- six months oftests.

Ifyou were married, you got

a stateroom. Otherwise, it was bunks.

Okay, good reason.

Come tighten this.

Then what ?

Everything was all right there

for a while, you know.

Then she got promoted to chiefengineer

on this thing a coupleyears ago.

She went front office

on you, man ?

Yeah, well, youknowLindsey.
