Chapter 42: Chapter 41: The wheels on the orbital heavy weapons platform go round and round in oribit

Gottlieb stares down the corridor, looking at a long hallway that twists into a curvature of sorts before swerving off in a new direction. It’s lined with many hissing vents that shoot out steam from themselves, which is, while visually interesting, a great problem to have aboard an orbital station where water resources are precious and rare. That’s ignoring the humidity issues it will cause down the line, which might damage all of the delicate machinery and electronics.

 

“Kai, what the hell is this?” asks the man, walking down the main corridor and looking at another door. It’s a security door, marked with the number ‘five’, like many of the other doors he had unlocked prior. “Why is the station growing new pieces?”

 

The wheeled robot from hydroponics whirs as it rolls along next to him, the screen turning his way.
