*tsc*
When my suit pressure blows out my faceplate I'll only have 'bout eleven seconds; whadda I want ta say....
*crack*
We tossed Jeff in the airlock, so I don't needta try'n explain what happened.
*crasck*
I'll have 'bout two minutes before the vacuum kills me, maybe ol' Jeff'll pull me in by then.
*ch ch ch ch*
Heh, the silver mist from my air leakin out looks neat. maybe I can stay conscious a bit longer if the air stays on. Well. here goes nothin.
*chchk*
I wounded if it's true that your life flashes before yah die.
*Shatter*

This Is Colonel Adam Beneke of the Murphy's Folly. Lieutenant Jeffrey Meigs is aboard ship, status unknown, if he's alive he'll tell yah what happened.

Molly, I love yah and the kids, I can only pray this message get ta y- uuuhhk uhk uhk.

Ugh, damnit Jeff, you alright?

Yah... I think so.

You were unconscious when we tossed ya in here, how the hell'd you manage ta get me in before I kicked it?

I woke up twenty minutes ago and saw you just staring out inta the void. When ya turned and looked toward the ship I saw yer helmet blow and rushed out ta get ya. Ya were only in vaccum fer, a minute or so. What the hell happened?

I dunno, Frank started hittin the damn thing out there and screamin inta the mic. I dunn even know what he was sayin... I just sat there an watched him pull his helmet off and start smashing at mine until he just stopped. And what the hell happened to you ? One minute yer looking around that... that artifact they was callin it, then ya jump back and go ta sleep!

I dunno what happened. I... I saw... something. And the next thing I know, I'm in here looking out at you just floating there. Your helmet pops and you didn't even try ta push off toward the Jewel.
