As far as shuttle hallways go, it's nothing too fancy. The upper portion with blue and white checker borders has lots of chairs to sit and some snack and drink machines and a [[Computers#Television|TV]] to help you pass the time, as well as a [[Security Checkpoints#Cogmap2|security outpost]] where [[Security Officer]]s can laze about. In contrast, the lower portion is dark and has no chairs at all, though it does have a [[Pod Bay#Cogmap2|docking area for pods]] and two [[Space Pod#Escape Pod|escape capsules]].

The station's biggest hotspot for pure chaos. | |
Upper arm and lounge: None required. |
When the station is engulfed in flames, blown to pieces and/or covered in corpses, the heads of staff or the AI will hopefully call the escape shuttle. After six minutes (assuming no recall shenanigans), the shuttle will dock in the Escape Shuttle Hallway in the southeast of the station. It will then leave two minutes after that, taking the surviving crew to relative safety at Centcom, provided they aren't ejected from the shuttle during the two minutes it spends in transit.
As far as shuttle hallways go, it's nothing too fancy. The upper portion with blue and white checker borders has lots of chairs to sit and some snack and drink machines and a TV to help you pass the time, as well as a security outpost where Security Officers can laze about. In contrast, the lower portion is dark and has no chairs at all, though it does have a docking area for pods and two escape capsules. Tying the two together is a lovely little lounge with a Space Station 13 sign on the floor, where you can have some snacks or drinks, smoke some cigs, and play some chess or checkers as you wait.
This area is frequently targeted by antagonists, due to the high density of people here. Vampires and Changelings both have objectives that require them to make sure only they and their minions are the only ones onboard the shuttle by roundend, so you might see them try to block this place off or murder anyone who enters this area.

It also has two places for pods to park - a small podbay to the north and a more direct set of doors to the south. The whole escape arm is located in the east of the station a fair distance right of the Bar, as if said LEGO person were extending its arm away from there.
After two minutes, the shuttle will depart, taking the surviving crew to relative safety at Centcom provided they aren't ejected from the shuttle during the two minutes it spends in transit. This is one of the most dangerous spots on the station due to the high population density and tendency for antagonists to arrive as everyone's waiting for the shuttle.
If you miss the shuttle, don't despair too much - there are two sets of escape pods, which will either explode or show up next to the shuttle in-transit. Will you take the risk?
Maintenance Information
There is a vent, found on the lower-left corner of the escape dock. It's fed by a connector in the maint directly southwest of the escape arm.
The APC is on the bottom-left of the top arm.
