Ow indeed, since the first obstacle Ivan encounters in his flight is Miles coming the other way. Thankfully the impact is soft enough and distributed enough not to break any bones, but Miles still curses silently as the distorted echoes of retreating footsteps become quieter and more distant and he's still trying to sort out their tangled trajectories and get them both into the station and on their feet.
The pilot glances past them to verify the lack of any obvious dangers in the dimly lit docking bay - easy to do, since in point of fact it contains nothing but Miles, Ivan, and an assortment of doors and hallway openings - and then hurries back along the tube to answer his beeping com alarm.
