Gath was quite satisfied when the hull plating cracked and then broke directly along the score line he had created. It had been an educated guess, but it was always a good feeling when you were right about such matters. When it broke away, he took note of the exposed structure of the plating. The use of a honeycomb design was often used in craft to reduce weight while adding strength, but the cells being filled with a frozen substance was something different.
