Ilane looks closely at April's handiwork. "Very good for your first time...but
let me show you something..."
She walks over and squats down next to April's right calf. "The suit models
that they use for rental suits are pretty forgiving, but there's one thing that
you *have* to remember." Ilane completely disengages the calf seal. "Don't
assume that a seal in fully closed just because it's 'as far as it'd going to
go'. You should turn them until they *snap* in place. If a seal stops turning
without the snap, you should take it back apart and start again." She gently
takes hold of April's hand and guides it towards the seal's housing. "Here,
you can actually *feel* it snap in..." The belter's daughter re-engages the
seal, turning it until it stops with a loud click. "See what I mean?" She
smiles up at her cousin as she gets up. "Once you know what to expect, it's
actually pretty easy!" Now, check your status panel at your wrist. If all of
the bands are in the green, you're ready to go..."
Provided that there's time before their arrival, Ilane will don her own suit.
Otherwise, she'll maneuver the ship into docking position with the asteroid
first.
