Either way, the derelict had an atmosphere and the planet had an atmosphere.  In fact, it's possible that the AP wouldn't work without a pre-existing atmosphere to process.  Like Van Leuwen said, they "make the air breathable."

Sounds like that Building Better Worlds resource is wrong.

Have you read my previous comment? What Badger believes about there being no atmosphere in the Derelict has nothing to do with the Building Better Worlds book. Just like I said already. We shouldn't judge a piece of media without seeing it for ourselves. Criticizing something without a good understanding of a subject based on our own biases isn't really productive IMO. 

I made the same mistake with Aliens Bishop, because of the first few opinions, I thought it can't be good, but after reading it for myself, I loved it. I almost missed out on a joyful read because of that. But even more sadly, I joined the bashing of the book without reading it first. It's one thing to not want to read something cause of someone's opinion/review, but it's another thing to criticize something that I haven't experienced honestly.

That got lost in your ensuing rant about the Queen Alien, sorry.

So the book just mentions the tone and Slutty added completely inaccurate commentary from misremembering the scene; got it.

Quote from: SiL on Apr 04, 2024, 12:08:54 AMSo the book just mentions the tone

BBW also mentions that the mist gives off an electric shock when touched. Given that Kane is wearing a suit, that clearly doesn't affect him, but it still looks to me that the sharp squeal is feedback from electrical interference rather than the actual musical tone. Exposure to the mist also causes hypoxia which, again, doesn't affect Kane since he's in a suit.

It's also important to note that the example given in BBW occurs in a fully breathable atmosphere without the need for suits.

If Kane's gloves are insulated to prevent shock then it's not going to interfere with his electronics.

The noise is the laser, always was.

Not long finished the audiobook. It's a pretty solid entry. Wasn't going to buy it but I might actually do it now.
