They
start out with 8 crew members, a thriving oxygen garden, and a
functioning computer. Along the way their oxygen garden burns
up. They know they're going to suffocate, but at least they want
to live long enough to complete the mission.
PROBLEM:
There is only enough oxygen to potentially keep 4 (out of 8)
crew members alive long enough to complete the mission.
NO PROBLEM: They soon lose 3, a 4th kills himself, and there is
now a crazed sunburned psychopath killing the ones that are left
(2 more down!). So far so good, except that the psychopath also
crashed the computers and now the only way to complete the
mission is to manually pilot the bomb into the Sun.
PROBLEM:
The only guy that knows how to operate the bomb is currently
trapped in the airlock.
SOLUTION:
He puts on a spacesuit, ties himself to the ship, drills a hole
into the cabin, and opens the airlock into space so the vacuum
can suck out the last remaining air from the ship - thereby
blasting off the door that was trapping him. |
