[ it looks as though Orion has only a few seconds to live. the bay is sealed and there's no way the doors can be repaired in time to save him. maybe it's fate that someone was watching all of this unfold. not that he was playing any part battle. perhaps he never intended to.
but whatever his intentions, Axel's the one that appears at the mouth of the hatch, hand scrabbling at the bulky material of Orion's suit before he can grab hold. the images broadcasting from his Sphere are erratic and static-filled, the little device fighting with the monstrous pull of the void outside. even so, his Sphere remains on, showing the ship at large his every move.
Axel's there for only a couple of seconds, just one or two, long enough to get a grip on the commander and to portal away again. but when he reappears on another level - level 11, incidentally, somewhere near the brig - darkness is pouring from ruptures in his skin and peeling off his body, every wracking cough causing thick, dark liquid to splatter on the floor. a thin, wry grin curls on his lips before his body breaks apart completely, disappearing into nothing.
Orion remains, crumpled on the floor and unconscious, at the mercy of whoever finds him first.]
