A *thud* was heard as something hit the Longsword. Stolt: Stay here. I'll go out to investigate. He locked up his armor to prepare for a 0 atmosphere trip. After entering the external chamber, Stolt made a trip into space. In the distance he saw an ONI transport ship and towing line. Stolt clung to the surface of the Longsword and gently eased himself toward the line. With 1 hand, he grabbed the line and clamped the end onto his craft. He tugged it to make sure it was secure and signaled the pilot of the other ship that everything was ready. Slowly, he made his way back into the ship trying not to lose his grip on the smooth surface.
