Hi Corporeal Beings! Crewman Becky here. Have you ever noticed the seemingly psychic operation of the crew quarters’ doorways? How they seem to know that they should open when someone is heading in their direction to enter or exit the room, but to stay closed when someone is merely passing by.

How do they know? Really…HOW DO THEY KNOW?! Well, I’m here to tell you that they don’t always.
