Sure, it wasn't nearly as intense, but it had a similar "pull your stomach out through your ass" kind of feeling. That was to say, it wasn't very pleasant.<br/><br/>Strapped in next to the other passengers, he just held on silently as the roaring rockets propelled the shuttle up into the sky and out of the atmosphere. He had insisted on heading out fully dressed in his CQBE-V7 Assault Armor. Back when he was still serving with his unit, his peers often cracked jokes about Kiran always being a Batman level of prepared when heading out into the field<del>   </del>meaning he always prepared himself for any sort of situation, how unlikely they might be to occur. Call it paranoia, but he'd rather be that then dead.<br/><br/>His armor had been retrofitted with some new tech so that he could operate effectively even in space. His combat helmet now doubled as a space helmet, having been outfitted with features such as a visor that would shield his eyes against extreme light. Underneath his armor and clothing he now wore a full body suit called a "bio suit." From what the NASA techs told him as he was being measured and fitted for the suit, was that the idea for the skin tight bio suit originated from the 1960's. The concept got scrapped not long after its creation in favor of the now more well known pressurised space suits. Only now, after the government stretched the budget for developing space technology for the mass evacuation plan to infinity, has it made its comeback. It would take some time getting used to, but Kiran would rather wear this "second skin" over the bulky pressurized suits if he were forced to make a space walk. He viewed the latter as being stuck in a tin can.<br/><br/>Just as Kiran began wondering about it, the pilot's voice informed them over the intercom that they still had to endure another hour and a half of this rollercoaster ride. Well, wasn't that just<em>peachy</em>?
