[ This is not strictly correct. The priority is isolation; protocol and programming dictate that if preserving Noct's safety puts an area with a higher concentration of human life at risk, Noctis becomes an acceptable loss.
That's not acceptable to IGNIS. Noctis, more than any of the rest of the crew, speaks to him as if he's a person. It shouldn't matter, and realistically it doesn't, but there's enough of his creator in him to feel as though it matters. It's a difficult distinction to make, sometimes. In time the process will be refined, they'll create fully-responsive AI that doesn't think it has emotions, and IGNIS will be decommissioned as obsolete.
In the meantime, his sentimentality remains a known, unpatched glitch. ]
I can cut oxygen to the mess hall. If it doesn't need oxygen to survive, I can open the airlocks. No known living organism can survive unprotected in space.
