"You're all fired."
The statement was simple, and relatively even. However, the venom dripping from Ludwig's voice would not go unnoticed, however subtle it may have been.
His boot that found the ladder pressed down, to gain a better footing. He found it stable, and dared to put the rest of his weight on it, as well as his other foot. It was then he began his earlier task of unscrewing the nut from the bolt that still held the ceiling panel in place. Sure, half of it was already dangling... sort of... thanks to his half wit of a brother. (And to be frank, he was very seriously contemplating shoving Gilbert out of the airlock.) But he wasn't about rip it the rest of the way. That was even more damage that he really didn't want to repair. At least a simple weld would fix the tear.

Well, it was a good thing that Gilbert wasn't actually /hired/ in the first place on the Axis, otehrwise it would be just terrible if he got fired. So instead of reacting he just stood there and watched Ludwig slowly get down. Man, he could really go for a cigarette right now. Or maybe something else. While Ludwig was contemplating Gilbert's slow and painful demise, Gilbert himself was drifting off, stuck in a wonderful fantasy world with gorgeous women, and lots of drugs, and some money to boot.
It even made a smile appear on his face, but just for a second befor ehe snapped back and looked at Ludwig. "You need my help?" he asked.

"You're all fired."
Feliciano immediately stopped his bubbly conversation with whoever he was talking to, he simply forgot in light of Ludwig's command, and looked up towards the captain of the ship. It took a moment for his words to sink in but once they did Feliciano started crying, well sobbing loudly to be specific.
"But Ludwig! I didn't do anything wrong! I was only trying to help! And if you fire me, well then who will take care of the thrusters?! And if I don't have a job you won't think I'm useful! And then you'll kick me out of the garbage disposal and send me off into space by myself! And I'll be alone and vulnerable! ... And dead!!!"
He sobbed louder at the thought and clung to Ludwig's legs, "Please don't fire me Ludwig! Please! Please!!!!!"

Well. Ludwig was upset, Gilbert didn't seem to care, and now Feliciano was clinging to Ludwig's legs. That's not gonna help the situation at all.
Kiku stayed quiet however, trying to pipe in a few times but drowned out by Feliciano's pleas. He knew Ludwig was kidding about all of them being fired, or at least he HOPED he knew. Ludwig had his spurts of anger and usually said something during the spurt of anger that he didn't exactly mean. Kiku kind of prided himself in reading people, and he hadn't been wrong before. So he just stood there, waiting for Ludwig to get out of the vent and waiting for Feliciano to stop his pleas for a moment so Kiku could ask if Ludwig wanted him to weld the vent back together. It wasn't EXACTLY his job, but Kiku wanted to help any way he can.
And he really did like working with metal.
