"Seymour, where are you?" Katrina whispered.DK scoffed, having heard the plea. "That wimp? He's not coming out here to rescue you. He's probably pissing his pants right now.""I wouldn't under-estimate my captain," Katrina warned.-----end snip---------

"You're going to have to shimmy across the rope to the other craft and fight DK to save Katrina" Said Jay, still fighting with the engines to keep the Starbug from pulling away.
"What? Why can't you go? Its dangerous out there, theres no oxygen or anything! And DK's a dangerous psycho!"
 
Jay threw a J.M.C space suit at him. It was a big chunky thing used for manually digging out ore from asteroids, but it was the best they had.
"Put it on and get out there!"
 
As Seymour struggled to put the bulky suit on, two figures could be seen emerging out of an access hatch on the Starbug.
"DK's going to cut the tether, hurry!" demanded Jay.
"She's carrying something large and pointy! This is very dangerous ...ooh I think I just wet myself."
Jay was starting to loose his patience. "Look, you used to be the Captain, you used to love danger, this used to think that this kind of thing was a walk in the park. If you don't do this then you'll loose Katrina. You do care about her don't you?"
Seymour took a deep breath. "You're right. I must do this, for Katrina. I can do it, I CAN do it!"
He put the space suit helmet on and walked bravely to the airlock.
"Seymour!" Jay shouted after him. "That's a cupboard!"
 
***Outside, where theres no kind of atmosphere***
 
Seymour clambered out of the airlock in the roof and stepped unsteadily towards the rope. "I CAN do it, I CAN do it" He chanted, crawling onto the rope and pulling himself along.
 
On the other ship he could see DK trying to prize the claw off. She turned around and looked straight at him. Katrina who was stood behind saw him too, she lifted her hands up to her mouth in shock.
 
DK stopped prizing the hook, now she raised the implement above her head, preparing to slam it down and cut the rope....
