Nnnghhhhh. Sorry 'bout that, kiddo. I really did hit the sack back there, these last few days have been kicking my behind like a rented mule. I am very much alive. They've dragged my ship back inside and lord knows how much more I'm going to be reprimanded for passing out in space. Thanks for worrying, though. But please be careful with spacewalking around a de-shielded ship. Doing that can be extremely dangerous if you're not tethered.

I've got to finish some reports right now, I got some people worried sick. I'll comm you again in a couple of hours.
