The Flying House, Part 2
Imagine being locked into a mobile home for a full year. How would you stand it?
That was the underlying motivation for making the "Flying House" in Rome's Revolution a viable place for two humans to live together with nowhere to go. The hallway was rather tight to maximize the usable space. Here is a picture of the layout of the Flying House (you can click on the image to get a zoom-in of the layout):
People need to eat, sleep and recreate. The Flying House had enough room to pursue each of these. At the front was a gymnasium. It had a Vuduri exerciser, Rei's elliptical trainer, some weights and other equipment. Next was a small storage closet. After that came a fairly well-equipped galley with a dining table, oven, food synthesizer and so on. People need a nice place to eat.
The bedroom was fairly luxurious. It had a king-sized bed, dresser and a refresher which is what the Vuduri called a bathroom. Along the other hallway was the side airlock, a living area complete with workstation, music area, a sitting area and even a small studio area for Rome to paint. Behind that was the environmental works which made the air, water, contained the molecular sequencers and so forth. Also stored in that area was some other equipment that the Overmind of Tabit was going to abandon.
Finally, at the way back was a recycler and a laundry area so they did not have to always generate new clothing. All in all, while it was a little tight, it was comfy and Rei and Rome got through their year-long journey without going stir-crazy. Tomorrow, what the hell did they do all day?
