[ ah, gravity issues. miles is rather getting tired of these -- who the hell is on life support, anyway? do they even have a life support tech? he'll have to check the personnel files and recommend that thán get on that. this is getting ridiculous.

he feels the familiar twinge in his stomach of freefall as the artificial gravity starts to really diminish, leaving him floating helplessly upward. with a noise of irritation, he tries to propel himself over to the wall, in the hopes of having something to grab onto. no telling when the gravity will turn back on, and a fall at this height would be...not ideal. and then that's when he spots ivan. ivan in freefall who is just...gently revolving in midair across the mess hall, looking sullen. he nearly smacks into miles, who manages to kick off a floating chair to get out of the way. what the hell, ivan ]

Are you going to get to a wall or are you just going to dangle there uselessly? Honestly, Ivan, if you take a fall I don't want to hear you bitching about it later. You'll get no sympathy from me.

[ come on, ivan, they were drilled on this sort of thing endlessly at the academy. ]
