[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] What about inflatable escape pods? Those wouldn't take up much room. Imagine the exterior door of the Frequent Flyer opening, with a forcefield erected across it to keep the air in. Then out of the door frame comes this mechanism that sweeps across the doorway and rolls open the escape pod. The escapee jumps out, the pod stretches to accommodate him or her, then seals shut behind her with a big slurping sound, and floats free of the Flyer, a small instrumentation package attached to it (with life support, homing beacon, perhaps small thrusters as well). The machinery rolls open the next pod, the next escapee bails out... The "pod" could be skintight, like a rapidly donnable spacesuit. Or it could balloon into a nice little cocoon. Of course, if this were TAS, the whole thing would be done with forcefields - but plain simple physical matter could also be used, CGI allowing. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
