This tube, much like the last, in design curls along in a loopy path which throws you this way and that in your ship. Along with you in the cabin is now about 50 gallons of water which falls about with you occasionally dunking your head and cutting you off from oxygen. You attempt to reach for your breather but find your arms flailing out of control during the tumultuous trip, unable to follow your commands. Outside all you can see are bubbles, but you can sense the tube constricting around you. Finally there is a grating sound from outside as the wing tips collide with either side of the pipe and your journey comes to an end, ship lodged somewhere in the alien plumbing. Unfortunately it's left you dangling upside down head submerged in water.
Barely taking time to notice that the water has grown warm you reach for your breather and hook the little device around your mouth. You take a grateful inhale. The breather holds enough oxygen in its quantum lattice that with it and your space suit combined you could survive some of the most hostile environments for long periods without air.
Technology gives you the luxury of time so you ponder what you should do. The cockpit is slowly filling with water but the force of the flow outside loud as Niagara Falls even through the ship's insulation, might very well pummel you to death.
