Smiles and kicks off the back of the wall and pulls Carlos with him. “Careful now….” leads him to the bay windows to work on.
Carlos floated along with Yondu, grabbing onto handholds whenever they neared them.
As they neared the bay windows Carlos started to assess the situation. “Did you already grab everything I need?” he asked Yondu, spotting a small container mounted nearby on the hull. Carlos himself brought out a toolbelt, but not many components.
“Yes. Got it all already….” nods to him as he starts to pull up the panels. Hesaw a smear of red and realized it’s where half had hit trying to keep from being sucked out into the void.
Carlos started to get to work, trying to distract his mind
from the void behind him. He started to undo clasps on a damaged panel with one
of his wrenches. As he went on, nearly finishing it, he finally noticed the bit
of red and frowned. God… to see some of it outside
of the ship. He wondered if Half-nut’s foot got caught or something while he
was pulling himself in.“Have we analyzed what could be on the hull?” Carlos asked
through the in-suit radio. “Like, what sort of germs?”“You name it carlos… it’s why he’s so sick…. we’re treating him for a multitude of bacteria and virus’s…… and with the void being as it is.. bacteria throughbout it’s frozen airless black…. who knows…. most people don’t live more then a few days…. half’s… well… he’s fighting it…. and he has people who care..”
Carlos made a low, unhappy groan that didn’t quite translate
over the radio. He went about removing the panel and magnetizing it to the
nearby container. He was starting to remember how he literally thought Kraglin
would have spaced him given the chance, and now… it just scared him even more,
the thought of being in space.
“What, uh… if Half-nut had been stuck out here… do you think
Tullk would have left us?” That’s what he assumed the saboteur was trying to do
– make Tullk leave so Yondu had less friends around.
