This will make a great scene in your next book -- some accident in space and the character is stuck in an access tube (in the engine room). How will they deal with the panic/emotional stress?
Write it all up while it is fresh in your mind, you can fit it to the book when the time comes.

Yes, I am making light of stressful situation.
No, it is not done with malice. But maybe if you think how your character would deal with it – it will be easier for you.
Or better yet, think nasty thoughts about me.
