Shame for Cas. Are we sending her on a kamikaze run/killing her off? Oh and the rear docking gate is still open for 8-ball to fly through. 

The magnetic field barrier allows for ships to leave and enter the Monroe without having to constantly open and close the gate and allow people to walk around the hangar without having to worry about having a space suit on. Sorry, should've mentioned that in ooc after my last post.

Edit: Now confused after rereading posts lol. Did 8-Ball remotely activate the ground team's ship?
