Some [[UNSC]] [[warship]]s have been seen to incorporate a retractable AlON pressure barrier into the decks of their [[hangar bay]]s. In the event that the crew must perform a funeral service with the deceased committed to space, the pressure barrier can rise out of the deck to seal off the interment capsules from the rest of the hangar. Then, the outer hatch can be ceremoniously opened to allow the capsules to be launched into space while keeping the burial detail and honor company safe from decompression. When the service is over and the outer hatch is closed, the AlON pressure barrier can simply sink back into the deck.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS16}} | |||
