"Great!" Pru says. "Good for you, Mr., uh, Rangin. Come on over here, would you? Everyone else, please line up behind him, wherever you want. If you know you want to dive just after or just before someone else, take that place in line."
Rangin goes over to Pru, and Mahmoud starts clomping towards them. After a moment, Park and Gral do the same.
Pru guides Rangin over to the edge of the porch. She says to the crowd, "I'll turn off each of your boot magnets in turn, and then give you a push off the station. Your retros will fire just after that, and you'll pull less than a G and feel some pressure at your back for ten seconds as you accelerate. If you're not looking at the station, your forward momentum will be almost imperceptible at first. Ready, Mr. Rangin?"
