Lockdown Bulkhead

Slaved bulkhead that seals (and crushes) a room on a coded trigger.

Corp SOPs favorite when the threat is inside, not outside. A blow-out panel triggers a cascade: every blast door in the wing closes at once, atmosphere vents, and the pressure differential packs an extra few tonnes per square meter against anyone still caught between the seals. The override key is physically keyed AND digitally signed -- anyone who lost the master token is in for a rough minute against the rams, and rough is the polite word for what the seal does to a torso at full atmospheric differential.
