Yup, it's zero gee, except when the engines are firing. Then it's .005g; everything will accellerate about five centimeters per second per second towards the back of the ship; humans have a terminal velocity of about one meter per second (attained after about twenty seconds).

Also, Flyndaran, just so I don't misinterpret this: Horse is homosexual? Or bisexual or something, I suppose. There's nothing wrong with that; it just wasn't something I entirely expected. :P

If tool are needed, GTO carry a cybertool, good as at least basic tools for about anything we may need.

Timezone : CET (gmt+2) here, but i can' t usually access internet at work, so i shall mostly post morning, midday or late evening.

Noven, we can assume Ms McIness hired you for security and tranquility during her trip toward the station.
Once there, you discovered what was going on, and were offered a place in the ship.
McIness will pay you standart ' dangerous area' fee for the duration of the trip (with a maximum amount equal to 6 month pay. Food, medicazl care and spaceship provided.

Is that ok ?.

Urk.

Everyone, just for future reference, can you please try to write your posts as if you were writing a book? This isn't a chatroom; you're not pressed for time. Take your time, and write them properly. It's much more readable that way. Keep typing like that, and your character's going to start suffering the penalties of speaking a language she only has at Broken.

For instance, like this:
Quote:
McInnes floated through the air, the aroma of the fresh-cooked meal wafting through the ship. Placing the food containers over the table, she floats and waits for the others to approach. A good conversation of a freshly-cooked meal is an excellent way to get to know people.

Besides, they had business to deal with, as well; they had to decide their destination. She turned over the possibilities in her mind. Alpha Centauri, A and B. Xiang 53, a brown dwarf a light-year away. Barnard's Star, a system of asteroids reached after a hop past a rogue planet.

Another thought entered her mind as she thought it over: the name of her ship. She didn't particularly like "Atlantis." Maybe "Just Testing," or, if the mythological references are a must, maybe "Argo," the ship that underwent such an epic voyage. After all, they had their own Hercules on board.

Check out Chapter 5 of Deep Beyond. As for how much... call it a Comfortable job, judging by the job charts in the THS book, so $11,200/month, or $67,200 if she paid you up front. You'll also get $25,000 per month from Independant Income, which'll easily cover your Cost of Living of $2,400/month.

She'd probably be making $560,000 per month, so it's not like it'd be much of an expense for her, either.

I will do so.
Sorry, i wanted to start and didn't took the time too make a proper write-up.

Please acknowledge, however, that my own english is accented/accented at best and don' t expect a litterary masterwork :)

That's fair enough. Just take your time, and write it out as best you can. There's no rush.

Shucks. The only THS book I got is the Changing times book.

Where did that come from? Did I write something odd somewhere? Sexuality is rarely on my mind these days game wise.
