    I like to imagine there’s a whole semester-long unit at Starfleet Academy that deals specifically with footing and movement while the vessel is under attack, because bracing support and soft edges imply conflict is imminent. Which apparently it is every third encounter or so.

      When I moved to Japan, and often had to stand on the train with no hand hold, I quickly learned how to lower my center of gravity and balance on two feet against random tilting and turns at high speed.

        Haha. When I first moved to a city, I’d never been on a train before and it was hard. But then I just engaged my surfing muscle memory and suddenly it was very easy. Because I was on a train every day, I always stood hands-free because it felt like good training while I was away from the ocean. Was a fun game.
