Point and laugh at the survivor.

So... bad odds on one of the away team running in with a suit and helping the person get in it, then?  How long does it take to get in a suit?  Under a minute and s/he'd live, at least.

Can we close the blast door and repressurize the hangar?  Are there any sort of air canisters around?  If we can at least get it partially pressurized, that'd be good enough.  (I don't have numbers on very low pressure, but 75% is an airline cabin and a person can handle that no problem.  25% (or even 10%) should up survival time quite a bit.  A person can last about a minute in vacuum with no permanent effects.

[Parsely]

That's how I figured the bulkheads worked. We brought a backup generator right?

Close the bulkhead and pressurize the hangar. Meanwhile get someone on comms to try and see if he's okay.

If we're lucky maybe we'll get another pilot!

[Toaster]

With eleven people, any crew addition is really helpful.

[Andres]

Have our pilot train our officers in pilotry while we do stuff.

[Sheb]

Is the suite locker inside the control room?

[10ebbor10]

Just as a note, humans can survive 30 seconds in space without permanent harm. Provided they're smart enough to exhale, off course.

[Parsely]

I'm sure he can don a space suit while suffocating.

[10ebbor10]

Assuming he can do it within 14 seconds, then yes.

However, if we assume that the control room is located in the back of the hangar, then maybe we could open the door, using the pressure of the atmosphere in there to shoot the person through the hangar, into space, into our own hangar, into a control room, which we can then pressurize.

But anyway, enough crazy theories for now. If this person is alive, that either means that lifesupport is still working (unlikely, with power systems offline), or that this ship was only recently attacked.

I made a very rough ASCII map describing the general location of everything. It's not to scale, though.

So, where is that spacesuit locker?

We could also bring a space suit, open the door, step inside, close the door. If we can't do it fast enough, it should be easier to repressurize that small control room than the hangar. So bring a air canister, do that, and signal to the survivor to exhale before we open.

[10ebbor10]

Pretty sure that our survivor is going to be thrown out of the room when we depressurize that room.

[Chiefwaffles]

Locker was edited in before you posted. It's outside the control room, in the hangar.

[Sheb]

Well, they just need to hold onto something.

[10ebbor10]

30 seconds is not much time though. And we really don't want a brain damaged pilot.

So, maybe we should check if the hangar can be pressurized.

[evilcherry]

Is there a passage to the "other rooms"? it might work as an makeshift airlock. Or we might just jury rig the life support of the fighters to it.
