Chapter 138: Past Catches You

The feeling of space travel was different than Zell expected. He saw astronauts on television floating weightlessly and thought it would be someone akin to that. This ship was very different, and his feet remained planted firmly on the ship's floor.

We had not discovered the wonders of artificial gravity and anti-gravity thrusters. To think they used to use explosions to get objects into space. It just boggles the mind."

"So that is how this ship flies." Zell said. "I am familiar with anti-gravity as it is the method I use to fly."
