Orbital insertion would have been easy enough, though it was kind of funny there was enough spare fuel to come to a stop AND insert, now that she thought about it. Coming to rest with regard to the station should have used nearly as much fuel as acceleration did in the first place. The Hope would have used gravity braking on the way in, of course... Still."Hey Andrew, something's nutty in the fuel calculations. Would you doublecheck me? Just have Hope run the fuel consumption numbers and call them out, okay?"She then, "Oh, and I need you to watch the station like a hawk with the main sensors. The Hope's not made to dock like this. The only sensors that buzz to my station is the collision alarm, and it's not exact enough. Let me know if it shows us hitting a wall, and tell me the speed and bearing of the collision so I can adjust."Hope shook slightly and groaned as even the tiny accelerations of attitude jets sent stresses down the superstructure. Ash got her lined up with the opening, and used the manuevering thrusters to jockey the enormous ship forward towards it. With aching slowness, the opening got bigger...and bigger...(Pilot roll at +7...if I roll less than 13, I'll AP it)</blockquote>
