Default Re: 09: Fire In Space

Given the explosives carried by the raiders, plus their plump fuel tanks, more bulkheads and decks were doubtless bent than just that to the Rejuv Center.
For me, I have always seen the Landing?Launch Bays as detatcheable. In extremis, able to seperate from the main body of the ship, and operate independently, at least for a while, or to save the rest of the ship. An explosion that big could well have compromised the ability to do so. Bent bulkheads, ripped cables and air ducting, hatch (sorry!) motors cut off from power, burned out, or destroyed. Again, alot of this could have been solved by an extra 10-20 seconds of screen time, explaining why the needed to do as they did, and why Boomer et al didn't suffocate.
