Summary
Being expelled from an air lock into deep space was the legal method of execution. But it was also the only way a man could qualify for?The Legion Of Lazarus
It isn't the dying itself. It's what comes before. The waiting, alone in a room without windows, trying to think. The opening of the door, the voices of the men who are going with you but not all the way, the walk down the corridor to the airlock room, the faces of the men, closed and impersonal. They do not enjoy this. Neither do they shrink from it. It's their job.
