Goache on Illustration Board

The occupants of this machine are viewing the Crab Nebula. They have had gravitizers installed in their backs as do most space station inhabitants at birth. The Government issue batteries, which power them, cost 150 credits and last about 6 months. It is possible to get black market batteries for less but they seldom carry a full charge. It is a misdemeanor to have a power failure in a shopping mall during a holiday season. The University of Titan owns 3 Pittman's. One year the Sigma Nu's crammed 23 pledges into one and sent it into deep space. They are equipped with manual override but are nearly impossible to steer with 22 other people inside.
