Urgh... that was a really big hit we took there...
I opened my eyes to find that the only reason why Delmar and I are even alive right now is due to the fact that each room is separated by an airlock, and apparently this room closed itself off during the collision. Either that, or I just didn't notice Delmar closing them before impact.
Either way, from the looks of it, that hit sent us a bit off-course, judging by the different view that I can see now. We're just kinda floating out here with no set course, or even a plan of action...
Our only links to ground base are through my tablet, and whatever the heck it was that Delmar fixed, and a one-way portal that still doesn't seem to have spat anything out yet.
Whoopie.
Welp, I guess I'd better go out again and fix that giant gash through the front of the next room over. Can't have too much oxygen leakin-- oh wait, there's still those tiny holes... darnit... and I thought that living in Space would be cool.
Looks like my tablet took a bit of a beating as well. From the looks of it, I'm pretty sure the impact not only knocked both Delmar and I out cold, but it likely sent this thing flying across the room. I can even see the plastic skid mark on the wall from here.
Oh well. Ranell can pick this damage report off of my tablet. I'm gonna wait here until some sheet metal arrives so I can actually do some repairing before something else happens.

8092348 Not a good idea since I assume you'll need someplace to store supplies. Food, Oxygen medical, material to patch the station. Well Gadget is learning things
8092369 So am I. I've been finding myself looking things up for this fic quite often.
8092379 Nasa won;t be sending sheet steel to Gadget. They'll send epoxies expanding foam to seal the smaller pin holes and nice heavy sheet to patch the larger holes since it has to hold in the air and protect them from solar radiation
8092429 But this isn't NASA she's working with... it's a ragtag group of scientists who deal more with theoretical physics than how to repair space stations.
8092434 Ok then you'd hope they'd find someone with some experience

8092348 The less oxygen they lose the better, unless a few cylinders are coming through the portal. At some point they may need CO2 scrubber filters too. Doubt they would have been serviced at the time of decommissioning.
