There was an episode of "Voyager" that reminds me of what you are saying. It
was a station with only "1" way in and out. Made things interesting. I have
to admit one thing, once you are up there, getting out would be
heller...especially if it was as patrolled as the one in the show.

Could I see the world of SR doing this? Actually, yeah I do. It would be
-THE- place to take a criminal magician and "shove him out of the way". For
lack of better terms, a Fate worse than Death...
