Concerning the Oxygen thing, references were mostly used.

Right, thanks for pointing it out I guess, but would be cool if you had a reference source? Not all of us are physicists, and this is sci-fi, realism can only go so far in FL. Though, I agree that things have to make logical sense. When I was helping decide the atmosphere I never knew anything about mass within the air being a thing, what with pressure and gravity being a factor, etc.

The partial idea behind Elgin is that it was an erratic gem with alien-qualities anyway. Weird in it's own way. I suppose the atmosphere could be fit into that

thanks for the oversight anyway

Gases leak through any material. That's why balloons and football balls become "soft" over time, or car wheels. The lighter the gas is, the faster it leaks. Planet's atmospheres act as "balloons" in that sense for gases. Hydrogen is the lighest gas known to man (1 proton is the bare minimum for any atom really).

Escape velocity is the instantaneous velocity needed for a mass to escape the Earth's gravitational field. So basically the speed you need for something to get off the planet if you were to throw it manually, kind of. The lower the mass the lower the escape velocity necessary. That's why hydrogen is impossible to maintain in the open: it floats away instantly.
