A couple of hours later, after Lucifer and Eva finished up their last-minute preparations, they got back into the Accursed Bootlegger, started her up, and lifted off out of the outpost. They rose up lazily into the planet’s upper atmosphere, then sped off towards the other end of the planet.
Both were pushed into their seats by the incredible g-forces from the ship’s amazing acceleration. It delighted them both to no end, and the reasons were simple.
Most ships’ acceleration was absolutely capped - it was necessary in order to prevent too much gravitational pressure on their occupants. Simply, every maneuver a ship made was a shift in g-forces. The faster it made these maneuvers, the more g-forces were pushed on everyone inside.
And if those g-forces ever exceeded a certain threshold, those people would be instantly killed. So, strict limitations were put in place to prevent those deaths as much as possible.
