Crossing Lines
“On my hands and knees, trying to hold onto the tilting deck plating, to get to the escape hatch, I rounded a corner and came face to face with Engineer’s Mate Georgi, who was in the same position as me. We both stared at each other for half a second in surprise and then he made this little gesture indicating that I should go ahead of him <makes a pointing gesture with both of his hands, one hand clearly behind the other>, so I did. “
“I was the last to get out, by the time it was his turn the downward suction created by the falling debris was strong enough that it dragged Georgi to his grave. It was that little hand gesture of his, ... it’s what sticks with me.”
