Message: [QUOTE="Roy Kristiansen, post: 87607, member: 146334"] Hi, Sam and Michael! >>15357. Did you see it yourself? - I was not too sure of seeing it. I had just come out of the light, and my eyes were not accustomed to the darkness. >>The short version is that Boxhall's night vision was trashed by the light he was exposed to inside the ship. I'm not sure what light you both are referring to. Yes, he was in his cabin (having a cup of tea, or not), which probably had a bare bulb. But he was in darkness from the time he went out on deck till he got to the bridge. I don't think the lighting of the bridge was overly brilliant. On the bridge, he had time enough to hear the exchange between Smith and Murdoch before they all three trooped out onto the bridge wing, again in relative darkness. The entire thing took only moments, but from my own experience, my night vision [i]begins[/i] to kick in in a couple of seconds - not minutes. I'd like to give Boxhall the benefit of the doubt on this, but I'm just a wee bit suspicious of lack of night vision being used as a one-size-fits-all excuse. Roy [/QUOTE]
