I'm sure there was a better way to deal with this SecUnit than to jump into space without a full EVAC suit and try to punch it, but that was the best I had. I had to protect my humans, even if those humans included Gurathin. They also included Ratthi, so it was worth it. Me and the other SecUnit are both equally clueless on how to fight in the vacuum of space, for better or for worse. Better being winning, worse being lost in the vacuum of space as I slowly die. Gurathin and Ratthi wouldn't risk their lives getting me back, would they? Gurathin wasted one whole second to lift his gaze to me. He looked like he knew he was about to die. I always knew he was an idiot. Two seconds left. One second to twist my own helmet off. Another to bring it down over Gurathin’s head and seal. His shocked expression would have been pretty funny in other circumstances, but I saved it to permanent storage, just in case. The outer door popped open, and the three of us were thrown out of the airlock. Alternative POVs as SecUnit, Ratthi and Gurathin process a mission gone terribly wrong, and what it means to love, trust, and express those feelings to oneself and each other.
