Matthew staggered back a bit from the force of the headbutt, reflexively clutching his forehead where he had been hit. "''That ignorant, short-minded fool. What would that accomplish aside from making me angry?!" ''Matthew thought to himself, all the while trying not to stare daggers at Ryan with his naturally crimson eyes. "I'll let this slide. We have bigger things to deal with, such as what the Martians are going to do to u-"

Over all the panic and terror, Matthew heard what sounded like a loud explosion before being jostled around. It was faint, but he could make out the sounds of oxygen and human beings being thrust into the void of space. He also noticed that the Martians had completely lost their balance. A perfect oppurtunity for escape.

"No doubt that something large (possibly one of our own ships) crashed into this transportation ship and punctured the hull. Oxygen is escaping, possibly quickly. There are bound to be spacesuits onboard, probably in these rooms somewhere; it's standard safety practice to have them in case of emergencies. The Martians are down, but I doubt my measly dagger and handguns are going to do them any harm. And besides, fighting would waste valuable oxygen. So escape is the only viable option."

"We don't have much time. Quickly search your room for a spacesuit and then follow me. We have to find an escape pod before we run out of oxygen." Matthew said, quickly searching the closet for a spacesuit. When he found it, he quickly put it on and dashed into the hallway, moving past the fallen Martians who had started to regain their balance.
