      Choices of the Soul

      Wearing a gravity shirt made Hadtec look like a dolphin covered in oil, at least so he had been told. He had seen pictures of dolphin's caught in oil-slicks from pre-space flight days. They'd always looked very unhappy and weighted down, but a gravity shirt made him feel wonderful. He was free to move easily in the human sector of the space station.
