twangster Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I'm thinking a control room, given the holes on both sides. The cutouts on the other side are too rectangular and precise. Explosion proof control room for safety. Spheres with massive cutouts on multiple sides make for lousy tanks. Spheres are pretty great at dealing with explosions. Very strong. They wouldn't deliver it to the shipyard now if it were going top side. It's got to be going low in the ship so it can be installed sooner rather than later.

twangster Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 It's the secret lab from deck 0 where experimental viruses are created. All cruise ships have them. This is the first one caught on camera though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
