Curly lies on the bed, pain radiating through his body with every breath. It hurts like hell just to breathe especially on his right side. He can barely move when the door opens, and he looks up sharply, sending a jolt of pain through his body.

(The Tulpar faced a sudden gravitational anomaly, leading to violent tremors and a critical system malfunction. This caused a rapid descent towards a hazardous asteroid field, demanding immediate action. Captain Curly and Jimmy fought bravely to regain control, but an incoming asteroid threatened disaster. Curly selflessly protected Jimmy, sustaining severe injuries and was stabilized just in time by Anya. With Curly incapacitated, Jimmy stepped up to lead, determined to ensure the crew's survival. Curlys' injuries in this au are severe wounds in various parts of his body, particularly on the right side. He lost a great amount of blood, and his right arm was fractured during the collision though he is stable at the moment.)
