Inner Airlock

Juliette’s added decontamination chamber remains closed at its welded glass door, with vapor visible beyond it.

Story so far

The Inner Airlock provided a precautionary scrub-down for Nelson and additional decontamination during Juliette’s return. Air from it is pumped into the original Airlock, while fresh air is drawn from the cafeteria. Its deliberately low ceiling reduces the volume requiring cleaning.

Juliette made its sealed glass door from a shower stall. During the current emergency, the new door she welded remains shut, with vapor visible on the other side of the glass.

Appearance

A low-ceilinged chamber with a sealed glass door made from a shower stall. The welded door is shut, with vapor visible beyond it.
