It takes a minute for you to finish cutting through the outer shell of the airlock hinge. The guy assigned to direct you and your team - Tessen - is already half way through cutting through the sealing surrounding the airlock door by now, but you're about where you need to be. Probably you're just being jumpy. For a long time, it's perplexed you as to why your developers would install an anxiety problem in you, but either way, you're stuck with it. Tessen taps your shoulder, motioning to the disconnected sealing, and then to the airlock of the Marcus. You wait for him to manually extend the boarding vestibule before firing your torch off once inside the cavity of the hinge mechanism. There's a silent *pop* as the door explodes off the hinges of the unmarked ship you've been sent to explore, smacking off the face of the vestibule, the hydraulics of the airlock door bursting from the sudden change in pressure. You float back aboard the Marcus while Tessen attaches and seals the transparent tube over the fresh wound.
