Except that doesn't follow in this episode. We would thus have to presume non-obvious armor variants (e.g. assume two sets of armor) or combine the two incidents, drawing the conclusion that they are not completely sealed (e.g. insisting on consistent behavior of one armor type).Kane Starkiller wrote:The helmets are obviously hermetically sealed since we saw the clones operate in vacuum in the second episode. Thus either these particular suits were damaged/faulty or they removed their helmets.2046 wrote:While I'm sure the SDN excuse that only some retarded clones who had their helmets off in a virus-laden area got sick will be their popular myth, the truth is that they all did.
Given that the suits did not provide complete protection from vacuum nor did they provide complete protection from viruses, the simplest and most consistent answer is to assume a single armor type that can be well-sealed but not completely sealed.
However, because the series continues, it would behoove us to hold on final conclusions until later.
