Question
Why didn’t the air alarms go off initially in the station?
✓
Answer
The station had duplicate alarm circuits. But only one was operational, and the other was not connected. An eclipse by Earth’s shadow caused part of the air purifier to freeze. This failure wasn’t detected due to the missing backup alarm. Claribel’s fainting served as an alternative warning system.
