A: Side Step

Adrian Koine was spending too much time in small isolated spaces, he decided as he waited for yet another airlock to open.

The fact that Prince Brendan would probably have enjoyed the opportunity to side step unnecessary socialization, and would have been eager to take the helm on any of the jaunts back and forth across the solar system that Adrian had found himself forced to make, only made him miss his friend more.

The lock opened and he reached out to pull himself through. There was no centripetal force or gravity conveniently pulling him downward, but the small station was built to accommodate the lack, and had convenient handholds along each passageway within it.
