"I'm stuck here." [And he hates to admit it.] "If I try to leave this stupid station, where I apparently work, I get sick."

[Like, spitting up black ichor sick. Although it was hard to believe that even happened when it got cleaned up so quickly. He didn't even feel like he saw someone clean it up. He doesn't want to imagine the implications if it never actually happened in the first place.]

"I'm hoping I can hold out here because if I were to try leaving... I'd definitely be screwed."
