Say "ha ha, crack a window will ya?" before opening the window to outer space.

Jump out a window.

What's a "window"?

Oh, wait, perhaps you are thinking of the glass viewing-holes that some of the structures had in that Oregon Trail game. Well, your culture has nothing like that, at least not since this ship left the homeworld generations ago. Which makes sense; after all, why would your progenitors build walls from a structurally weaker material just to look at space?

What do you mean, metamorphize? Your species already does that!

It doesn't make the stuff smell any more pleasant, though. Ugh.

Alternatively wear a space helmet.

You work your way over to the armory, hoping you may be able to find a helmet to keep the smell away. Those things aren't very comfortable, but neither is smelling this everywhere you go.

Unfortunately, it looks like a few thousand others had the same idea. There is a very long line outside the armory. You could be waiting for quite a while.

What are you going to do?
