Talk:The Ark/@comment-25602163-20141031010241/@comment-2.125.42.118-20141114004017

yeah i saw flint and orchid mentioned but wasnt sure about them as they havent been definitively proven being only seen as subtitles and not clearly named or written in the show

and it totally bugs me trying to figure out a particular function for certain stations sure agro, hydra, power, prison, ect have logical uses but some like arrow and flint and orchid dont have any vital system i can find for space habitation, orchids are seen as sacred to healing so may have once been medical before that was part of go-sci? (major requirement for medical but not noted in name) flint is associated with tools, strength and sparks/ignition so it may provide some industrial type function.

i did have an idea that in future series now the ark segment fell to earth that flint contains remnants of nasa type robotics which the inhabitants exploit when stranded with the grounders attacking them, using rovers as scouts, nasa exoskeleton for injured, humanoid type robots used as armour and decoys ect.

and in response to people wanting to see more of the ark they could find like a black box and have a flashback story of the 13 nations if they wanted to it seems pretty easy to factor in if they need it in future
