Holding Cell

The holding cell near the airlock is empty when Juliette is carried past it after her rescue.

Story so far

Usually entered only for cleaning unless someone is in custody, the cell became Holston’s place of confinement when he entered and handed Marnes the key through its bars. Its full-wall outside display gives a clearer view than the cafeteria’s screen, showing brown hills, gray sky and dark clouds.

The cell stood empty when Jahns and Marnes prepared to depart on their journey. It is empty again when Juliette passes it while being taken away from the airlock after her rescue.

Appearance

A barred holding cell containing a cot, a toilet and a wall-filling display of the bleak outside landscape.

Role

It holds people in custody near the route to cleaning.
