Any chance the demo progress carries over? Kinda the only way I'd justify it, seeing as it's so close and already a buy for me.

In case anybody's wondering, yes, you can throw yourself into the helicopter blades to... predictable results.

Also, anybody care to speculate about "The Evacuation"? Mentioned in a book in the security office and one of the psychologist's session recordings. Sounds like some bad sci-fi poo poo may have already gone down back on the surface.

A couple decent no-prizes to explain the shuttle thing: Dahl certainly didn't want anybody stealing the shuttle while he was gone, so he would have put some kind of biometric lock on it so only he could pilot it.

and/or

Given all the trickery with the escape pods and things like that, TranStar seems determined to be the sole arbiters of who gets on and off the station, so deliberately denying people the training to leave on their own seems a logical extension of that.

Plus we already know about two other shuttle pilots: the one floating dead in space you can find, and the one you can decide to blow up or not from the captain's quarters.
