Gravitational Constantly: A Novella - Plot & Excerpts
If the instruments didn't confirm our velocity, I would have sworn we were sitting still. While out in a maintenance shuttle, you had to be very careful of your trajectory around the gate. A bump into the wrong thing, even at this speed, could lead to a disaster and set the project back or even ruin the whole thing. At least that is what the Chief Engineering Officer had droned on about half a hundred times to the maintenance crews. This precise flight required a skilled hand, so I sat back and rubbernecked out the window at all the busy little bees that were buzzing around the bridge. The pilot sat beside me, pushing buttons, taking measurements, and typing on her computer. The last three weeks had been hard for me, but in the end I had come to accept it, or at least not fight it any more. Cara was the shining star that Jayce had said she was. She had been recruited by Futura when she was still in school. Just as she said, she never went back to Earth after being rescued and brought to Luna as a little girl.
