Major Thacker heard the call for Code Teal over the intercom. He calmly walked over to the storage case that held the emergency gas masks. When he opened it, however, he saw that somebody had removed the masks and hidden their personal stash of vodka in it instead.
Panicking now, as the gas was starting to pour out of the vents, Robert took a deep breath, held it, and ran for the docking bay as fast as he could. He managed to pull himself into a shuttle just as his lungs began to burn. After he sealed the shuttle and cycled it's atmospheric system to clear out the gas, he removed the standard issue atropine and obidoxime autoinjectors from his pocket and jammed them into the meat of his thigh as he was taught in training.
Somebody was going to die for their stupidity as soon as he got out of his standard after-exposure checkup from medical.
