- from my limited understanding of the way the beast works, it seems that a failure of the sensors would be very difficult to detect and therefore IF it is a possibility inside the 'automation' it needs to be thought of.

Let's suppose it happened at CGH.

a) Were the crew aware of the possibility? - I suggest not

b) would they have known instantly what action was required? - ditto

c) are there any SIGNIFICANT clues, preferably visual (or STRONG audio) to tell crew it has happened? - ditto?

I support GMDS's 'Joe and Jane' approach.
