Ship Bulkheads
Massive metal barriers that seal compartment hatches, manufactured from reinforced alloy to withstand extreme pressure differentials. These bulkheads, bolted into the probe's framework, physically divide living and operational sections when engaged. Their closure creates a labyrinth of sealed corridors and rooms, isolating the infection's spread but also fracturing crew movement and communication.

Purpose
To contain environmental hazards, compartmentalize damage, and maintain structural integrity by preventing uncontrolled depressurization or fire spread during catastrophic events.
Significance
These bulkheads become instruments of control and power during the infection Crisis — their closure reflects Sarah's decisive authority in defiance of Vishinsky's command order. Their sealing transforms the ship into a series of isolated pockets, escalating both the physiological threat and the command distrust that defines this mission's final act.
