Unlike the space stations that Diamondback Explorer had no way to generate any kind of centrifugal force in an attempt to simulate some gravity there.

And for me it was very bad, I could not sleep.
I had a very restless sleep and I struggled a lot in bed when sleeping. My sleep has always been very light.
What made me a bad astronaut.

And I hated those cabins sleep.
It was a padded cubicle all sides and in every cabin had a sleeping bag that was screwed to the wall. I felt claustrophobic every time I tried to sleep there, stuck in that sleeping bag could not move, tied the walls like in a crazy saddle, stay there, in the air, weightless made my arms float in front of me and that I It gave a terrible feeling of being in free fall.

Nyx did not have that problem, she was used to sleeping well and laughed at my complaints.
She said it was just relaxing I would not need mattress or pillow.
Honestly, it was not for me.

But that night had been very difficult for both of us and we were exhausted.
And even after trying to comfort her we still had not spoken.

I did not know what to do or what would be our next step, but Nyx was an independent woman and acted on instinct, she returned to the cockpit, searched maps and chose a moon a little richer in metal, with climate summer nearest the sun. She wanted to ward off the chill she felt, she wanted peace. I can not know how to fly, but what she did was obvious even to a fool, heat belied our signal in case of being completely turned off, besides having a higher magnetic occurrence, confusing long-range radars.
But mostly she wanted freedom ...

We made a quick orbital scan, the view was beautiful.
We parked with a barely perceptible blow to those who did not had a landing gear.
The temperature was warm and comfortable.
I could use that to gravity in our favor.

She walked from one side to the other as if I were not there, or she had become accustomed to my presence after all this time.
...
The towel she sought was revealing. She was not looking for gravity to please my sleep. She needed a long, soothing bath, needed that sense of purification and cleansing that only a good shower could provide.
Something you could not do in Zero Gravity, because the water was perched in the shower and the most you could do was soak some rags to clean up, and that was no fun.

Pressing the buttons on the collar with hands, the suit is depressurised and unglued from her body slim.
...
She carelessly removed the black leather revealing her girl-woman lingerie.
Moved gracefully like a snake shedding its skin, she found it difficult to pass through his hip of Terpsichore.
She doesn't seem to have much more than 19 years, and looked like a tomboy with a small, slender frame.
A beautiful young woman was almost too pretty to be really beautiful, because her beauty surpassed any air of majesty or mystery.
Her hair Spiky Strands was a medium long hairstyle that has found a new asymmetric expression and revealed the soft flesh of the back.
A drop of sweat escaped her hair traveling the neck and on the curve where the neck turns into shoulder, a place where the smell only defines each person, and the smell of it was good.
Good and cruel because invaded my thoughts and whipped my imagination.
I felt the apples of my face burning, I must have blushed.
I looked to the other side as a gentleman, as she dragged the towel for into the bathroom.
...
She was my friend, the only one left over, I can not fail, not with her, I will protect her at all costs ...
