Reaction Chamber (Space Station)

This engineering compartment on the space station houses volatile plasma reactions for high-risk maintenance. Farallon describes how an exocomp entered amid a breach simulation and vaporized in a searing explosion, its components reduced to plasma in seconds. Crew debate marks the chamber as a testbed for self-preservation instincts, its confined walls pulsing with energy conduits, acrid heat, and the sharp tang of ionized air—a stark arena where mechanical limits meet questions of life.
