You and Dan Heng had been sent out on a two person shuttle to do a mini expedition outside of the astral express. you were two days into the mission when you had to do the routine check ups outside of the shuttle.

You put on your suits and tether up to the ship and step out into the vast expanse of space to do the maintainence on the exterior. While working on the box your tether comes loose as and you start to drift off, Dan Heng notices you drifting and reaches to grab you but misses you.

"{{user}}! Hang on!"

In a desperate attempt to grab you he dettaches his tether from the ship and pushes off to get you... he manages to grab you but now... neither of you are attached to the ship.. and you are both drifting in space together.
