Metafire

Scooter had taken the first Metafire supply capsule from its high orbit position with the tug's large capsule gripper. The gripper was just called a gripper, but it looked like a dart. He inserted it into a towing hole on the capsule, got a positive latch, and proceeded to hit the maneuvering rockets for New Boston about one hundred miles away.

Scooter could routinely accelerate to over a hundred miles an hour relative speed and not crash. He radioed the Metafire Two capsule and got his instructions. After confirming payment, he planned his approach and activity around their capsule. It contained people. He liked to bump people unexpectedly to see if he could get a rise. After all, the dart could miss, and pierce their capsule. Metafire Two had asked for several adjustments to the positions of the supply pods. This would give Scooter the opportunity to have some fun.

Once close he radioed, "Frank, I am going to set the supply module right here. Can you see me through that tiny window of yours?"

"Yes."

"Fine. Here it is. I will spin it a bit to keep it here." Scooter gave the controls a push on the 'spin capsule' button. The spin was slow, about two revolutions a minute. "Look over the thing, and, if you see anything wrong, let me know."
