The capsule continues inertially at while the ship reduces its station-frame speed to . Transform the ship's new velocity into the capsule frame:
(1)
Thus its speed is , and the negative sign means it recedes behind the capsule along the chosen axis. The same transformation compares the subsequent local inertial velocities; the details of the intervening deceleration are not needed.
