“What’s through there? My disc won’t open this door…”
The Polixaci crewman glanced at the hatch, and answered through his translator, “Your Ident Disc is functioning correctly: the hatch you indicate leads to a section of compartments optimized for methane-breathers. Do you have some business within?”
“No, no. Just exploring the ship. You know, playing tourist.”
“If you entered that area, your lungs would be destroyed and you would die.”
“Oh.”
The crewman moved to leave, but paused and added, “Additionally, Some hatches lead to the vacuum of space. If your disc restricts access, it is for safety reasons.”
“Gotcha.”
