Four years' training had brought out her potential, the power he had sensed she should be able to control, when they met. He had no intention whatever of letting them go to waste. Senior Adept Corina of the White Order, he thought yes, it had a pleasant ring. He caught sight of her then, and watched her come up the rubberoid walk to his raised sundeck. As usual, she was precisely on time.
The ship had more machinery of more differing types than Corina had ever seen in one place before, and they covered a lot of territory. Despite extensive use of the intraship shuttles, that meant a lot of walking. Normally that would have caused Corina no problems, but hard metal decks instead of grass or rubberoid sidewalks made her feet hurt.
The modern space suit is made of woven lux metal wires of extremely small diameter and airproofed with a rubberoid fluorocarbon plastic, and furnished with air and heating units. Made as it was, it offered protection nothing else could offer; it was almost a perfect insulator and was resistant to the attack of any chemical reagent. Not even elemental fluorine could corrode it.
