It has happened...again. Yesterday evening one of the new hires, some nincompoop from maintenance, pressed the emergency door override in the mess hall, thinking it was the espresso machine no doubt, and vented the whole hall into space! This is the second such occurrence THIS MONTH! We lost two cooks, a few maintenance techs and the contents of the dehydrated fruit cabinet, which was of course unsecured during the venting. Oh, and also Dr. Godfried! Heaven knows what London will think of that, he was only here for a short PR visit.
My thoughts on our “fire suppression system” for the Carson Station mess hall are already well documented, but that blasted warning sign is just not cutting it! We can’t afford to just be venting personnel and oxygen into space willy-nilly, we need a different method in place if venting the whole compartment is really going to be the fire suppression system.
Regards,
Anderson

Willy-nilly? You sound ridiculous. I heard about the venting and it is, of course, a tragic accident. These things happen. I have already reached out to Mrs. Godfried and Carson Corporation is extending a generous condolence package to her.
As for your problems with the fire suppression system, you simply need to work on training your new hires better. Everyone knows that it takes heat, fuel and oxygen for a fire to take place. Rather than spending several MILLION dollars shipping and installing a sprinkler system or some such nonsense, it makes absolute sense to just vent the fire into space! Get over it!

You can’t be serious!? The emergency vent button is inside the mess hall! If there is a fire, you’re asking personnel to vent themselves into space!

A worthy sacrifice that I am certain any man would make, rather than doom the whole station to a fiery death. Train your people better Anderson, and don’t hire cooks that catch things on fire!

Subject: Overkill?
Good afternoon, sir
This is Gary Morris, I work in maintenance on Carson Station. I saw the new warning placard on the wall in the mess hall and wondered if it might be a bit much.
“Warning, only press if your flesh is literally boiling off of you” seems like it might be little excessive, and it is hard eat thinking about my skin boiling off…
Anyway, I asked Anderson about it and he muttered something about “Ford” at corporate, so I figured I’d inquire. Thanks,
Gary
