Var was probably the most at home in zero gravity of the entire crew, after all, her species were amphibious and grew up in the neutral buoyancy of the ocean, and to this day pools of water were still used to train other species how to deal with micro-G environments. Of course the big difference was that the ocean was not a vacuum, there was resistance and Lah'a'ado's second law of motion applied, instead of her third. Of course Humans insisted that their Isaac Newt got there first and his laws were in the wrong order, he had the third one first, and the first one second and the second one third, but hey that was the<i>shitskins</i>for you.<br/><br/>She didn't need fancy magnets on her boots, her legs were<i>deflated </i>and floating linply in the depressurized airlock. She didn't need fancy thrusters on her suit, either. She held the inner wall of the airlock, reached out with half a dozen tentacles to grasp the open outer frame, then catapulted herself across the opening, directly at the oposite airlock, rolled herself into a ball that tumbled slowly as she crossed the void.<br/><br/>"WHOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEE^^^^^^^^^^^^^" Her cry was on the open com, and she couldn't help going supersonic  in her excitement.<br/><br/>The journey ended with what for a vertebrate would have been a bone-shattering collision, but Var was an invertebrate, and had no bones to shatter. In fact the jelly-like substance that made up her musculature simply absorbed the impact, spreading thin on the outside of the cargo ship like a large splat of living mashed potato hurled at a wall by an annoying baby of any species. And just as mashed potato doesn't bounce off the wall, (it usually falls straight down but in space there is no "down") so Var didn't bounce of. At least not the way a "solid" person would.<br/><br/>She stuck there long enough, held by the almost negligible pressure of the particles being emitted by the star they were orbiting, for just long enough to grab onto a couple of handy protuberances.<br/><br/>She quickly reformed herself, the environment suit telling her that the internal water pressure was nominal, CO<span style="font-size: 80%;vertical-align:sub">2​</span>, nitrate and nitrite levels were acceptable and the oxygenation was slightly high, which probably accounted for her feeling of euphoria. She adjusted it down a touch, while waiting for the others.<br/><br/>Getting in proved to be more interesting that it should have. The outer door opened about 30mm and stopped.<i>A shame no-one thought to bring the boarding hatch... </i>Var mused to herself as the others wrestled with the manual override.<br/><br/>She shrugged, a human gesture that many Bruth^ie have picked up because they can do it so much better. "Look, I can get through there. Maybe I can see what's jamming it on the inside? Worst case, you send back to the Bunny for the boarding hatch, or we blow a hole in the side of the ship and anyone inside not suited up pays the price for not letting us in the easy way. Best case, I get in there, figure out what's jamming it, get it open and we all pile on in!"<br/><br/>She grinned at Kira through her face-plate. "Your call Chief!"
