Last week Sirius Corporation announced the successful recovery of debris belonging to lost passenger liner the Antares, and proclaimed its intention to subject the wreckage to extensive testing to determine the cause of the vessel’s destruction. What is still not known is whether any organic remains were found. The Friends of Antares memorial group issued a brief statement:
“We trust that if any biological remains have been found Sirius Corporation will not delay in repatriating them to the next of kin for appropriate funerary rites.”
One pilot who worked on the recovery effort said:
“If the craft ripped itself apart I doubt there’ll be anything left. If it didn’t… well, I’ve done a lot of rescues and even more wreckages. Explosive decompression ain’t pretty – and I’m not talking about the bulkheads. Any who didn’t try to hold their breaths will have been turned into swollen blue icicles. I don’t know if Sirius Corporation picked any up though – all I found were twisted scraps of metal.”
Sirius Corporation has yet to confirm the recovery of organic remains.
