Tobbs was a crewmember of the Godspeed. He went out of the airlock to check on a power loss in a section of the ship. There was a line from a song stuck in his head: "It's time to leave the airlock if you dare." He was killed by a space barnacle on the hull. His last thought was that he would never know what the next line of the song was. (PROSE: The Hungry Night)
