While working out safety designs for the craft, Brandon had determined that if you’re going to be cooped up for several days, a location near the galley and food supply would be ideal. Safely situated in the ladder-well with access to three decks, even with the hatches sealing off the rest of the ship, there is plenty of room for six people to do almost anything, except perhaps shower. An emergency toilet is stowed beneath the stairs on the first deck and although it hooks into the ships waste system when needed, this toilet does not provide for the same level of privacy as the others. Also stored here are six old-fashioned rope-and-canvas hammocks. By stringing these hammocks up in pairs on each deck, everyone has a place to sleep. Though fairly cramped, the crew could ride out a solar flare storm for a month in relative comfort.
