Zy pushes the heavy door open, feeling the breeze of fresh air of a different planet. The door only open a crack, their footsteps tread on the metal floor. The Talos. Zy with his less than gray skin now, plows his shoulder into the door, it opens a little more. More footsteps, pounding on metal. They are getting closer. He shoves again. Hard. His should shrieks in pain- but Zy ignores it.

The footsteps come again and again.
Zy shoves the door again, another inch.
The footsteps sound like they are right behind him.
He plows again, and this time the door busts opens, causing Zy to fall to the sandy ground. He scrambles to his feet and charges out, away from this "hospital" into the vast desert, in the dark.
The desert spans as far as Zy can see, with no sign of life. But he doesn't care. He runs. He runs until his still weak legs collapse into the sand, like he did on his home planet. But this time- he doesn't pass out from heat exhaustion. He just. Sleeps.

Fink's vision fades slowly- his blue eyelids droop.
And after a moment...Fink dies.
