Exterior of the Ship
Spaceships obviously have an inside and an outside. The exterior hull is a vast asteroid-pocked metal surface running around the entire ship. Crewmembers often need to don special magnetic-booted spacesuits to walk outside to fix certain parts of the ship, or when certain corridors inside are blocked they might resort to taking the long way around.
Seymour looked through his spacesuit helmet and saw the Ambassadors in their spacesuits, each spacesuit had special tartan trousers. Seymour had prepared them for himself whenever he wanted to play golf outside. They were all holding golf clubs and seemed to be milling around the area unsure of what to do.
Then he saw what they were looking at. One of the Ambassadors was floating a few meters above the hull, spinning and thrashing his legs. His magnetic boots had obviously become unstuck from the hull.
MP was stood with his hands in his pockets trying to ignore the situation.
"Mini Phil!!!!" Seymour bellowed. MP almost jumped out of his spacesuit and put his arms in a reflex action contemplating running.
"Get him down, get him down right now!!"
MP looked at the floating Ambassador and then silently legged it.
