The long voyage continued.
This acceleration of merely 1 centimeter per second squared persisted for over 90 days, only ceasing when the fleet's speed reached 78 kilometers per second.
Further acceleration was not possible. More acceleration would consume more fuel, and future deceleration would also consume more fuel, potentially requiring the use of emergency reserve fuel.
As the acceleration, which had lasted over three months, ceased, the entire fleet became completely weightless.
Due to this 0.01 meter per second squared acceleration, every spaceship's cabin had maintained a very stable gravity, approximately one-thousandth of Earth's, throughout this period.
Now, with the acceleration stopped and the fleet entering inertial flight, even this slight gravity vanished.
Everything was no longer steadily placed in its original position, and all unsecured objects began to float.
This included the clones.
