I really cant understand what happened with this chapter. The Rod piece is being blocked off because "When the ship crashed, the safe room’s security wards activated, and the room’s doors sealed magically. To access the safe room and uncover the rod piece, the characters must first deactivate the security wards."
However there are several problems with that:
Magically sealed? What spell? Cant the doors just be destroyed like Arcane Lock?
Can the party just break open the ships wreckage around that area?
What about the Heart? The inside is flesh but could they potentially just find a new way in or even make their own way in around the seal? Why is there no mention of any other method of what prevents the party from finding another way in?
Honorable mentions that make no sense:
Why is a Couatl allowing itself to be kept prisoner? She can literally turn into a mouse and escape or just break down the door herself
What is the Lambent Zenith's crew goal right now? Why are they just sitting in Astral Space? What is there plan to escape and get home? Shouldnt they be like "HOLY SHIT PEOPLE TO SAVE US!" when they see the party? Is the party just supposed to abandon them??? Lol
If there are tons of aberrant horrors and space monsters, how in the hell are the crew alive and not already eaten?
What is the Death Slaads plan? Presumably to infect the other crew but it hasn't done that yet despite having a Modify Memory spell in order to do so. There should be MULTIPLE infected crew mates
Inda wants to be reunited with her crew. OK, makes sense. Why hasn't she? She's a DEVA with a Flame Tongue Sword and a Ring of Evasion. The ships segments are only 300ft from each other and she can easily dash for 170 feet and arrive at a ship piece by Round 2. Scavvers are nothing to her!
I FELT THE SAME WAY!!! It’s TERRIBLE and makes absolutely no sense. We ran this chapter like a comedy of errors. The whole game was just us laughing at how ridiculous everything was.

Glad someone validated my feelings on it lmao.
I ended up scrapping half of the NPC's and changed it so that the Death Slaad had half the crew infected for an ambush. Also changed it so that the Heart of Havok prevented the ship from leaving via magic BS as long as the Rod Piece was inside it therefore giving a reason for why the crew was just squatting.
ALSO i forgot to mention this about Inda: Ok, shes has a broken wing so she cant fly... **except that shes in Astral Space AKA she can fly with her INT score**. You can tell the broken wing was supposed to be a "see?? thats why she hasnt moved!!!" excuse except that it fails the logic of the setting THEY put her in!
