Chapter 100 Miscommunication

The launch of a lander is a lurch of rapid motion followed by sudden weightlessness that bounces everyone off their securement harnesses as the lander leaves the artificial gravity of the mothership.

It is a bit disorienting every time, feeling like up and down have ceased to exist, which in a way they do while you are in space.

The recruits haven't experienced it before, but the consensus of their first drop is that the launch is definitely better than the translation to faster than light transit. At least this doesn't feel like their insides are being twisted inside their bodies.

Max can feel that the thrusters are still activated, which makes no sense since the Abraham Kepler is still approaching the planet, they didn't need the extra speed to make an approach on the planet at near structural load limits.
