You prioritize the repairs. Time to suit up!

After putting the pressurized spacesuit on, you seal it, making it hug your body tightly. The helmet goes on your head and when you lock it against your suit, the holo-console lights up in front of your face. Navigating menus with your eyes always has been a bit weird.
You make a connection between the holo-console and the maintenance console so that it shows you the exact area of venting.
You tether yourself to the wall with more-than-enough synthetic rope, close the inner airlock and then open Airlock #9, which seems to be the closest to the breach. The airlock rolls open and air is vented, something which you wait out, clinging on the handle on the wall. Then, you switch the North Wing's console to maintenance mode, depressurizing the entirety of the area - spaces between the hulls, the corridor, the airlocks, all of it. Air pumping system goes offline as well.

It takes a whole minute to flush the air out.
Out there, deep-blue darkness with tiny sparkly dots everywhere. You lug the hyperfoam injector and a plasteel lattice into the outer space with you.
It takes a bit of wiggling about to get yourself positioned at such an angle that your magnetic boots clamp onto the outer wall of the North Wing. You stomp toward the indicated hole, trying not to get overcome with feeling of weightlessness.

There it is.
You use the suit's camera in zoom mode to look at the hole. It is nearly perfectly circular about half an inch in diameter, with only certain areas of ragged edge. You peek inside the hole - and there is a tiny piece of mineral rock lodged between two struts of the mesh between inner and outer hull.
A) Space rock friend! Let's try to extract it from the inner hull.
B) Enough distractions, time to seal the entry point.
