Presumably it gets dumped in where ever the energy came from.


Whaaa, you've never heard of "conservation of energy?" :o ;)

Couldn't resist, sorry (but not much.) :P

Just my opinion of course and probably not worth the paper it's not written on.

Of course, none of this applies to Tepes. Tepes was so insanely cold with such a coldhearted bitch onboard, that there was no waste heat. It was all vented inside of the ship and it was still teeth chatteringly cold onboard! It was never actually comfortable aboard Ransom's ship.

Ever heard the term, "When hell freezes over?" Well it did when Ransom visited.

Cordelia Ransom defied the laws of thermodynamics. She could only be defeated by the supernatural. A tac-witch.

But, say what you might about the girl, they never had a problem with waste heat aboard Tepes.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense
