The name is both a description of the collection process and what happens to the pilot during a hull breach. Rim engineers welded gas collection scoops to whatever hull was cheapest at the time, rerouted the atmospheric intake, and called it an industrial vessel. The gas collection system makes a noise that experienced pilots describe as "concerning but profitable." Safety features include a fire extinguisher duct-taped to the pilot's seat and a handwritten note that says "DON'T SMOKE." The Rim's approach to volatile gas handling is "be fast enough that the explosion is behind you."
