Secondary Boosters of Salamar's Probe

Vishinsky diagnoses Salamar's ship as compromised by lethal antimatter contamination. When the crew attempts a desperate escape from Zeta Minor's pull, the secondary boosters fail—Salamar's last option to jettison the antimatter tin and survive. The system crackles under emergencies as characters cling to its fragile purpose, but the science proves weaker than Zeta Minor's force.

Purpose

To provide additional thrust to Salamar's probe during escape maneuvers from Zeta Minor's gravitational pull.

Significance

The failed secondary boosters mark a turning point in the crisis, forcing Salamar to choose between reason (Doctor's warning) and desperation (jettisoning the ship). The explosion of the antimatter tin becomes the crew's only hope against annihilation.

Doctor reveals antimatter menace to Salamar

The secondary boosters ignite briefly, only to stall under Zeta Minor’s pull and antimatter interference. They represent the crew’s sole escape mechanism, but their failure underscores Vishinsky’s diagnosis—antimatter contamination prevents safe lift-off.

Before: Activated on Salamar’s orders, synchronizers already at red on diagnostic readouts

After: System compromised by antimatter, failed to jettison the tin; remains unstable and incapacitated
