	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 cloned 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.

	If you don't have any compunctions with metagaming, note that space in SS13 is random. You won't generally be in space forever -- if you die your body will probably hit something eventually. Paranoid traitors may try to give you some spin when they space you for this reason since you're more likely to hit an asteroid or ruin instead. If the space is just right, your corpse may loop around and land on the other side of the station, or it might hit something and bounce off, slowly returning to the station.

+Located in many maintenance tunnels throughout the station and in other places, gas masks, fire suits and hard hats, extinguishers and oxygen tanks can all be found in fire safety closets. Wearing the fire suit and fire hat will protect you from the low pressure of space, and using internals will protect you from suffocating, but you'll still freeze in the cold temperature of space; using coffee will warm you a little, but leporazine will keep you warm enough to survive.

-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. Standard and engineering models even have a built in fire extinguisher for propellant, but other models can't throw anything.

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.

[[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.
