In the bag: Serco 'delighted' to grab £450m ferry and freight deal between Scotland and Northern Isles

Originally Northlink was a consortium of Calmac and Bank of Scotland specifically set up to take over the contract from P&O. Serco took the name, vessels and shore facilities from the original Northlink when they won the contract the time previous to this renewal.

Boyles law

Perhaps these scientists need to understand Boyle's Law.

The pressure they measured inside the decomposing bodies was relative to the ambient pressure. A body decomposing on the seabed would have the same relative pressure, until it had enough gas inside to change its buoyancy and start floating, As the corpse rises the volume of gas will expand (Boyle's Law), increasing the pressure inside the corpse in relation to the ambient pressure. A corpse rising 10m from the seabed will see a 1bar increase in internal pressure, easily enough to rupture lungs etc.

Where does the rocket exhaust go?

What volume of gas is this rocket motor going to produce? it looks like you may be constructing a bomb complete with shrapnel if you can't handle venting all that gas very very quickly.
