Dust Runner Quarters
On the one hand, his quarters here on the 'new' ship didn't really seem to be any different than his quarters had been back on the Dust Runner. It looked to be the same size... a standard starship stateroom.
Once he settled in, though, he realized that it was bigger. Only slightly bigger... not enough to be readily noticeable to the naked eye, but there was a few inches extra elbow room.
There were other subtle differences, too... lighting didn't seem to be as harsh... more diffuse.
It wasn't more luxurious; he certainly couldn't say that. Yet, it felt like it was.
All the rooms had a slightly different decor, too. So maybe that was it. He'd selected the 'lavender' room. The walls had a pale lavender coloring to them.
It wasn't until he laid down that the best feature of all came into play: the star-field ceiling! The ceiling was an elaborate vidscreen. It could be changed to match the rest of the color, or it could be made dark black, or it could show the star-field as if you were looking out a window. The stars moved as the ship moved. How cool was that?
