Nicholas de Nicolay Tour

Leaving the Bridge behind and returning to the Common Room you see the ladder and ceiling mounted iris valve.

The iris valve itself is controlled from one of the nearby stateroom door Adeptapanels. As you pass them you admire the comfortable chairs and state of the art smart tables with which the Common Room is provided.

As you near the open ceiling mounted valve you can see the vaccsuit racks and safety equipment on Deck A above.

As the valve closes behind you inspect the ready racks of vaccsuits. The Hatch leads out to the Aft Airlock of the vessel. Unlike the main airlock through which you boarded the vessel this is a manual emergency and maintenance egress.

At the far end of the compartment you see a safety station. Stored there is a First Aid Kit, Rescue Ball and Fire Extinguisher. An Adaptapanel is configured as a com panel.

Turning around to check out the aft end of the compartment you see two sliding doors. Next to one is an Adaptapanel configured for environmental control of the space.

The starboard door leads to a vaccsuit maintenance shop.

The aft door leads to Aft Fire Control. This is a backup control center for the Main Fire Control on Deck C.
