Method of Madness:
Yeah...if she wants to. But she doesn't seem to be in a rush.

Without gravity, all you'd have to worry about is wind resistance, right? Shouldn't she theoretically be able to move incredibly quickly since there's no weight slowing her down?

I read it as meaning that they are generating an upwards thrust equal and opposite to the planet's gravitational force, thus negating gravity (net force = 0). There is probably not much extra power in reserve for lateral motion.

improvnerd:
IRL, in zero gravity you can't move at all (unless you can push off against something or fart really hard).

She is actually held up in the air by a flock of tiny, tiny geese.

--- Quote from: Kugai on 02 May 2015, 14:13 ---Honestly, someone at some stage is going to HAVE to address Gavias constant use of her 'Hover Mode' and excessive use of her Nanotech.  She's going to have to fit into this society she's going to have to learn to fit in to their way of life.

--- End quote ---

Besides the way of life, she's going to have entirely atrophied and useless legs and feet in a month. Unless her nanotech exercises her muscles too.
