A rabbit crew investigates a dead ship. Original idea was to integrate the image into the story, whereby some text from it would be incorporated into the top of the image.

Well the fact that there are bodies, debris floating around and the hull metal is still bent inward. That hole was not the fatal hit to the ship, if it was the area would be clear of major debris and the metal would be pulled back out and maybe even bigger from the depressurization of the ship. This ship got messed up big time all over.

Outside yes but in an enclosed space like this their lights will be reflecting off every surface and coming back at multiple angles. Pretty much the same as atmospheric diffusion. But yes it should be black out the broken window and no diffusion around the lights themselves. Unless the camera lens has a coating that is picking up diffusion.
Vacuum has no temperature. If a person is 98 degrees F going into a vacuum they will be 98F after until the heat radiates out which can take a long time since there's no air to remove heat. Objects in space become cold if there is no radiant heat source to replace the heat radiating off of it.
very very awesome ^^

From the looks if it it was sudden. No sign of of hostile intent except for the hole the marines came in from and I'm assumeing the hole was made from the outside so either they hit something or something hit them. The real issue i'm haveing is that if something hit them there should be something left behind from the impact.
Let me know if i'm getting close

Oh wow man this is awesome. Loving the armor design for the rabbits and the lighting for the over all scene. This has a great sense of suspense and mystery to it.
is this another story of yours in the works? Cause I'm liking it
I really wanna see if the armored bunny ears move.

Rapid decompression is.. rapid. With artificial gravity tugging at everything, most debris wouldn't have time to be sucked out into space before it would be in vacuum. Contrary to the movies, rapid decompression isn't going to be a hurricane because there is not that much pressure. The ISS is kept at 14.7psi absolute which is about half the pressure in a typical car tire and airliners are pressurized to around 8psi absolute and that is about the same as a beach ball. With a hole that size you would see a wall of fog instantly envelop the compartment and anything light with air under it would be tossed into the air but the atmosphere would be gone before anything really started to move toward the hole. Everything would have a rime of frost on it for a few seconds then would melt into water droplets.
What would melt the frost if the room is now exposed to the cold of space? If it was humid in the compartment and pressure suddenly lost (from a hole being torn in the hull) any frost on surfaces should just stay there until sunshine comes in and sublimates it away. Any floating frost would eventually wind up stuck to a surface or drift out the hole. Of course we have no idea how long ago this happened or how close they are to the nearest star.
Uh, no. A room that was at a comfortable 72 degrees F would take a while for the walls, furniture and equipment to cool down enough for frost to not melt. The surface was flash frozen do to the air losing pressure but the items in the room still have heat in them and will take a certain amount of time to cool off even if it is -200F since there is no air to convey heat.
The airspeed of a rapid decompression is mostly going to depend on the size of the hole. Bigger hole, faster speed. With a hole that size all the air in a good size room would be gone in seconds, and would be at hurricane speeds. You're right about the ISS internal air-pressure, but you're forgetting it's a pressure differential. 1Atm is roughly the 15psi aluded to, so a 15psi air tank on the ground is 15psi above atsmospheric pressure, or roughly 30psi above ideal vacuum. So the effect of a leak of atsmospheric pressure into vacuum can be simulated with a 15psi sea level pressure container leaking into atsmosphere.
The only example of such a pressure wave I can find on short notice seems to be in the 500 meter distance range from a Hiroshima size nuclear explosion. You'd be looking at about 400-450mph speed winds, it's just a matter if the size of hole allows sufficient bulk of air to move.

Okay, we're having a frame of reference disconnect here. Speeds vs forces. And my mistake; the size of breach would effect the duration of the leak relative to air volume, so the duration of peak wind force not the wind force itself. My own fault for replying early in the AM.
For limited volumes (EG; aircraft cabin size), we're both right in a sense. No, it won't knock things about like a hurricane because it won't have time for it's low mass to impart signifigant force to any loose objects, but it will be moving at high speeds. The larger the volume, the more time there will be to impart momentum to things and be noticibly windy due to a longer sustained pressure differential. The actual molecular velocity of the air (hundreds of mph) will remain the same though (Boyles law having a neglible influence on molecular velocity on these scales).
For hurricane forces winds I've been assuming a pressure vessel of habitat-scale where outgassing to even half air pressure would take minutes, not seconds. The air has a high pressure differential lasting for a long period, meaning it's low-mass has the time to impart force on objects. Wind force would be measured on a distorted bell-curve, accelerating up rapidly around the breach then tailing off again as backing pressure fell.
(It raises a safety question in habitat design actually. The obvious choice is automatic bulkheads to compartmentalise any leaks, but doing so means pressure in a breached section more rapidly falling to zero and the death of anyone in there. Actually allowing the air leak for a longer period means fighting increasing winds, but more chance of personel escaping or suiting up. Depends on your volume of spare air really.)
I've been using and building high and ultra-high vacuum systems for 15 years. The lack of any air resistance (beyond fractional air pressure) during an implosion event means air moves at very high speed into a vacuum chamber. It'll last for just a fraction of a second though because of the small volume. Basically a *bang* and glass is suddenly richoceting back out of what used to be a viewport.

Really awesome work! The whole scene tells a story withour words really effectively, I the atmosphere works really perfectly too with the theme. As much as I love the way you draw ladies, it's refreshing to see something like this made by you, it's an adventure to explore all the small details! :)

I'm curious, how come they didnt get blown out into space when the hull breeched?
Also, those lockers look oddly familiar, are they from Mass Effect somewhere?
I just noticed the probbably cause for boarding. Clearly they wanted the crew's coffee and took the lot! That poor empty coffee pot

We assume the crew is dead but they are not frozen or obviously torn apart so they may be revive-able if it has only been a few minutes. Given they are in space with obvious artificial gravity, their medical sciences would be far beyond today's yet there is a possibility we could save them with our technology today. The old Star Trek series was bad about that, crew were dying of things that were pretty treatable even in the 1960's.
A micrometor traveling at a significant percentage of the speed of light through the brainpan is dead. Vacuum exposure is survivable and is described by flight surgeons as mostly benign. It is nothing like the movies. You have roughly 20 minutes once breathing stops to where the heart stops then just a few minutes until brain damage starts. 30 minutes is a long time if medical help is near by. It is an instant if help is too far away.
fascinating. reminds me there's some thought of changing the protocol for reviving cardiac arrest patients. in some sense the body is in suspended animation, and most of the cellular damage actually occurs when oxygen is introduced. basically, it's not the lack of oxygen that kills you, it's getting back on the stuff. i would argue the people who have artifical gravity might have this worked out and could revive people who have been "dead" much longer than 30 minutes, if they have 0 oxygen to mess up preservation of the body.
It looks like something out of *insert whatever sci-fi trope you have a personal crush on*.
Actually, let's make up a new one. How about "Cat Shit One; The Next Generation"? j/k
I like the sparks from the panel. It may not be intentional, but insulated by vacuum they'd end up glowing for a long while and it looks like they're drifting, so..
I hope we see more of this setting, space opera has always been a favourite of mine, and likewise the deep terrors of the environment of space itself.
I'm wondering if there wasn't an airlock where that hole is now, what with the lockers and control panel nearby. Or just coincidence?

Reminds me a bit of a dream that I had many years ago. I was part of a crew aboard a spaceship came out of cryo-sleep and found that FTL technology had been discovered, and thereby spread a zombie-plague across the galaxy while we had been asleep. When we first awakened, we docked with a derelict space station; not knowing until it was too late that it had been infected with zombies.
It LOOKS like something out of Dead Space.
But it isn't.
Nevertheless, it's an excellent teaser. Wouldn't mind seeing more.
Now for a cautious, high-alert trek to the bridge to find the ship's log.
I'm predicting some kind of horrific collision with a small natural satellite traveling at hyperkinetic velocity tore through the ship's hull, introducing vacuum. The lack of blood on the surfaces suggests that this was not the work of some violent attack, whether by a monster or by one of the ship's crew gone loopy.

Try adding a bit more shards of metal everywhere. An explosion like that would leave bits of metal flying all over the place, and it would have been those that would most likely have killed the crew, though that would mean ratign it as Mature for gore and violence.
I have to say thoguh I love their armoured spacesuits. They look chunky, compact and durable, but not in a cute or child-like way. They really do look the part.

Looks foreboding o_o
I've seen too many derelict ship stories to know it'll end with a simple accidental depressurization in the atmosphere techs It's going to take more than a candle light vigil and naming a few scholarships to fix that 0-0
...because they don't send commandos for salvage missions...
Sorry if I'm rambling. Good pictures often put stories in my head v-v

Ugh. Reminds me of the poor Salvers who had to work on the wrecks of the USS Arizona and the USS Oklahoma in the early days of WW II.
