Air Duct Corridor

A narrow metal tunnel branching from the main ventilation system, its riveted seams and inward-curving metal walls coated with a fine layer of shipboard grime. The duct runs just below the ceiling height of the bridge's interior corridors, providing restricted access for maintenance access panels that hinge open with a faint metallic groan. When security officer Rudge forces the Mogarians into the bridge to consolidate control, their entry pathway destabilizes the ship's compromised course toward the black hole, demonstrating how such secondary systems can unexpectedly influence primary operations through human intervention.
