Just read this quote, I think that the room gets wrecked, but there's a few seconds for an NPC to get out before she/she gets killed. The room is then sealed. If an NPC has nowhere to go, then he/she gets sucked out, but if he/she's in a spacesuit, something that every NPC will try to get into if there's one available, then he/she will survive and be able to make his/her way back to your ship. God I hate that pronoun.
I know Right!!! That's why I made a Vote Up section in the thread... I guess it's because the page takes a long time to load.
