How long does the typical suiting up process take, while assisted?
There are multiple kinds of EVA suits in use by U.E.F., with the emergency suit being the most common and the one in the locker. An emergency suit is
basically a thin layer of material just good enough to protect the user from the vacuum, with short-term breathing equipment. It uses a technique similar to the zipper to put on. Assisted, it could probably be put on in anywhere from 30-60 seconds. The "official" record is 17 seconds, though that's nearly impossible to hit.
Can we use the generator we brought to power the hangar door, close it and pressurize the room using air from our ship?
The hangar door does appear to be intact, and since the airlocks to and from the hangar are properly sealed, the room could be pressurized. The emergency generator could be hooked up to the machinery and close the door.
The air is a bit more tricky. The engineers could siphon the atmosphere of several rooms on board the Telemachus and by jury-rigging a transfer system via abuse of the Telemachus' docking procedure, they could transfer the air into the hangar.
Fun fact: Your marines are wearing a light combat Marine EVA suit. Due to the nature of the marine, U.E.F. has many different types of combat suits for marines. The light combat version is designed as more of a hybrid emergency suit. It can be equipped quickly and is cheap to produce, while offering decent protection, storage, and life support in EVA. More EVA-oriented marines wear many types, such as the Battle Suit, which is a well armored suit that offers extreme mobility via thrusters, toggle magnetic boots, etc.
How much time do we need to pressurize a fighter? Can they be pressurized? We could get the guy inside one of the fighter and repressurize it in the 10 seconds we have. Then the survivor can suit up inside.
The fighter takes approximately 15 seconds to pressurize the small cockpit.
That, or using the "other rooms" as airlock.
The Engineering Officer can't help but overhear this and states "
That would be a great idea if we had a Utility Slicer on board. I actually saw one in a shop down at the town. If we had one, the marines could simply cut their way in from an adjacent pressurized room."
"
Or we could use an explosive weapon and cut through." the Security Officer interjects.
"
Maybe." said the Engineering officer. "
We'd have to find or jury-rig a portable weapon with enough juice to blast a hole through the wall, but not enough to destroy anything else."
You can always tell a person has a unique personality when they have colored text. I decided I may as well give the officers a super basic presence/personality. You can name them if you want.
Also say something if you don't like the officers(' colors, personality, how they speak, because the speak, etc) as shown in this update.
ALSO. Please tell me if the bloated husk resembling science as used by me is abused too far. Such as if I say "Well, this gigantic room can obviously be pressurized in one second with just one tiny vent!"
