| Page 288: | "Inside the landing bay, after the shutters had closed and the bay had filled with air, an access ramp telescoped out to mate with the ship's entry lock as the last moans of its engines died away in the new world of sound that had come into being." |
| I regard this as a continuity error. It seems redundant to have an access tube "mate with" a ship's airlock in a room that's already filled with air. Also, filling the room with air seems wasteful when an air-filled tube that mates with the ship to form a seal would serve as well. |
