Alright. Like Hayato said last week, everyone who plans to fight in Zero-G needs particular training. So far we've only run into trouble with people stupid enough to fight inside colonies, but there's always a chance we'll have to engage someone in an orbital battlefield as well.

Anyone who plans to fight while we're in space, report to the hangar for training. This goes for our new Mobile Suit pilots, too. Those are designed to fight in space, but you still have to get used to the lack of gravity. Make sure you've got proper oxygen seals and install some of the Thruster Modules we bartered from Nergal if your unit isn't normally spacefaring.

[Action]

[Unlike her few training sessions on the surface, of course, Calvina's assembling the crew inside the hangar. She's also going over final adjustments on Bellzelute for training - she might as well get some of her own practice in instead of just watching the kids play. It was a fairly simple task to turn the limiters up to the point where the energy weapons became simply tracers and to load the missile pods and rifle with paint rounds...]

[Alessandra's unit launches into space manually. That is, it runs out of the hangar.

And immediately loses its balance as it enters vacuum.]

What trickery is thiiis!

[Wild flailing doesn't help.]
fermionprincess: (A grumpy chibi!)

I understand the theory, but this is not what I expected in practice!

[Memento Mori stabilizes thanks to Calvina. As for Alessandra... she's quite dizzy now.]

Please stop spinning, endless vacuum of space! Time for an alternate approach... do not fail me, principles of motion!

[The thrusters will try to propel Memento Mori forward now.]
fermionprincess: (Ahah!)

There is nothing to create an opposing force, so constant acceleration is unnecessary, of course!

[Moving straight is pretty easy, but that also means Alessandra gets bored. She tries to steer in different directions, which would work fine if not for one little detail...]

My thrusters cannot rotate forward. Memento Mori, why were you born with such a design flaw in your body! How do I stop, Lady Coulange?
fermionprincess: (Hey you there!)

[Energetic limb movements. Too energetic.]

Moderation! Moderation! Golden mean, why must you be an unattainable goal!

[Memento Mori is spinning around, out of control. Again.]
fermionprincess: (Frowny face)

Somehow... I feel like if the gentle grasp of gravity was coddling me all the time.
You might call it "easy mode".

[Alessandra starts to spin her unit in place again. But it's not wild flailing this time - surprisingly enough, she's capable of learning and this is to get a feel on zero G momentum.]
fermionprincess: (Hey you there!)

Despite sharing this thought, I feel they are not the type I would like to associate myself with.

Well then, time to outdo the expectations! Humanity grows steadily, as a species but also as individuals!

[Memento Mori is actually not that control-less now. Alessandra's doing pretty good... for a newbie.]
