Excuse the double post. Two things worthy of note:<br/><br/>1) On a warship there can only ever be one Captain. Anyone holding the<em>rank</em>of Captain is automatically promoted by one rank unless they are actually in command of the ship (which is rare, Captains would normally command only capital ships). So a naval captain would be referred to as commodore, and an army (or marines) captain would be referred to as Major. Hence the cadet saying that Paige's gear was brought with "the major's complements".<br/><br/>2) Explosive decompression is very rare. People do NOT get sucked out of holes the size of a pin. On a space going warship, the hulls and the compartment bulkheads would be made so they didn't rip under normal air pressure even if holed. A small fragment of whatever blew the compartment next door made a tiny hole in our compartment and caused an automatic system to detect a pressure drop, sealing the compartment. The pressure drop was so low initially that it took a while to notice.<br/><br/>Of course that fragment has also given us our first NPC casualty. Jos, up to you if he's dead or not...
