Portrait view of a general service corridor approximately two metres wide. Off white walls with black baseboard runners with wood grained vinyl type floor.

On the right a support pillar juts into the corridor approximately 50 centimetres halfway to the door.
Simple square image. A grey hatch with rounded corners in the middle coloured a soft grey. A small latch on the right at hip height. Walls around the hatch are coloured a muted teal.

It would be so easy to follow her. He stepped to the inner hatch and looked down to where she stood in actual sunlight several paces beyond the outer edge of the gangway. He grabbed the hatch edge. The sky didn’t really steal one’s breath. The whir of large engines reverberated up the passage, growing louder with time. He remembered the roar of another engine, the blind terror with which he’d run to huddle in the farthest corner of the airlock. This could wait until things had settled. A step back restored his view through the monitor.

“That’s it,” Trynamour said. “All you need do is ease us into it.” The first few minutes went by simulator-perfect. Konhor bucked as the air grew thicker. Surface sensors told him they were heating fast. He prayed this trip would not reveal some fatal hull flaw and adjusted their attitude. The time came to bring the atmospheric control systems online. Konhor responded with agonising slowness, then he had it. A light gasp from Trynamour made him realise she’d been holding her breath. New instructions cut him short. Compliance put them on course to drop into the upper edge of a weather front that promised a short but bouncy ride before they entered the clear air over the port. He wiped his clammy hand on his not-so-fresh pant leg.
