Fourth Discovery

[The last mission earns Werter a quick stay at the infirmary. He spends most of it, and the time afterwards, applying ice to a huge bump on his head.]

Note to self: treat instructions on fighting in a new environment more seriously next time.

You learned your lesson without dying. Congratulations.

[saikyocivrobo]

I thought reading Commander Hayato's papers would be enough. I have flashbacks to my college days.

[guardian_lynx]

Stayed in your room and downloaded the lecture notes there, too?

[saikyocivrobo]

Often. The results were... varied.

[Nothing to say here. His point has been made.]

[turningyaponese]

So... how bad was it. I mean... the movement...

[[Gainer has yet to try going out in space himself... or bothered with the training.]]

[saikyocivrobo]

Oh, moving around isn't so hard. Stopping moving, on the other hand...

[turningyaponese]

That so. So, don't you just try to move in the opposite direction instead?

[saikyocivrobo]

There's no atmospheric friction in space, so you have to exert exactly the same force in the other direction to stand still - pretty hard when you don't have any real thrusters to speak of. The easiest way of stopping is to crash into something.

[azure_savior]

So your robot can't handle too well in space, can it?

[saikyocivrobo]

It does okay for something with no thrusters. Which is the same as being an okay runner for someone with no legs.

[azure_savior]

To be fair I've heard of quadriplegic wrestlers so I guess that means there'll be hope for you yet.

So then, what'll you be doing to remedy the situation?

[saikyocivrobo]

I don't know yet. But I will know before the next combat. As long as I'm not quadriplegic yet, I can still fight.
