*It is well known that space is not a safe place. Without a source of breathable air you will quickly pass out before you can accomplish anything, so [[Starter_guide#Clothing_and_Internals|set up internals]]. If you see someone passed out in a de-pressurized zone you can help by dragging them somewhere safer and giving them some [[Salbutamol]], [[Epinephrine]] or CPR to treat oxygen deprivation. | *It is well known that space is not a safe place.

*Space is [[Temperature#Cold|really cold]]. Your jumpsuit is not enough to safeguard you from this hazard and you will eventually become [[Critical_status|critical]] if you spend too much time outside. While freezing, you move at a slower pace and you might not be able to get to safety in time. It might be a good idea to announce your situation over the radio and have someone come get you if you're not sure you'll make it. [[Leporazine]] is the drug of choice for keeping you warm, but coffee or tea help somewhat. [[Morphine]] is also an excellent choice for aspiring astronauts as it helps you move in bulky space suits and reduces the slowing effects of the cold. | *Space is [[Temperature#Cold|really cold]].

*Low pressure is your first sign that the air is too thin to breathe. The low pressure of space will deal brute damage if your body is exposed to it. | *Low pressure is your first sign that the air is too thin to breathe.

*[[Traitor|Syndicate scum]] and other sorts of [[Nuclear Operative|bad people]] have a close relationship with space. They can often be found hovering around outside the station in stolen space suits. They will shoot you if they catch you out there. While the station engineers do their best to keep the horror that is The Great Outdoors separate from the rest of the station, traitors will seek to acquaint you with this region in a variety of ways. Don't let them. | *[[Traitor|Syndicate scum]] and other sorts of [[Nuclear Operative|bad people]] have a close relationship with space.

Alright, calm down. The situation may not be as hopeless as it seems. Too many newbies have died when they could have been saved but gave in to despair. If you have any of the aforementioned items your chances of survival are greatly increased. Cyborgs may have it a lot easier because they are innately immune to cold and vacuum | Alright, calm down. The situation may not be as hopeless as it seems. Too many newbies have died when they could have been saved but gave in to despair. If you have any of the aforementioned items your chances of survival are greatly increased. Cyborgs may have it a lot easier because they are innately immune to cold and vacuum, along with every module having some form of space travel. However, since cyborgs cannot throw things, they can have a harder time maneuvering their way back to the station without an Ion Thrusters upgrade. | ||
Your first priority is to activate internals if they weren't already. If you know where the station is and have a fire extinguisher, use it. If you don't, try throwing some items to propel yourself back to safety. If you were thrown out an airlock by a [[traitor]], now's the time to let people know of your situation and where it happened. Generally they will have stripped you of all your protective gear so your time will be limited, but if they left you anything to throw you may at least have your body discovered. It might be a pain in the ass to retrieve it, but security will probably want you revived to interview you. Maximizing your [[suit sensors]] increases this possibility dramatically. Even if you don't survive, you may be avenged by blowing their cover over the radio, but this doesn't always work. Remember you can cling to the hull of the station and walk around. | Your first priority is to activate internals if they weren't already.
