Most people enter Milliways through the front door.
This girl doesn't.
She...appears, is the best word - appears on the floor still half curled up with one of her fists clenched. She's a tiny thing, maybe 4'10 on a good day, with dark braided hair coiled around her head (mussed) and dressed in what appears to be a uniform.
(You know, the baggy jumpsuit uniform favoured by astronauts. Hers is blue, with Cyrillic writing and Soviet insignia.)
For a long moment, the Russian astronaut is still as the dead.
And then she starts to gasp, as if she still can't breathe.
