Let Him
You shut down the controls and turn to see Obi-Wan craning over the
hyperspace controls, setting the course, when you suddenly realise how
quiet everything was. And that the 'gun' lights had flickered off.
"Baby", Reen smirked as he entered the room, "you
should have seen that ship explode!"
Obi-Wan jumped up in swift horror and shock, staring at Reen, and left
the room with his shoulder shaking.
"What now?", Reen asked you.
"He hates other people dieing", you reply, "anyway, can
you help by starting the hyperspace".
Reen looks down at the hyperspace control panel.
"It's all ready", he said, "starting hyperspace
countdown. Really, these modern ships, a countdown for hyperspacing!
Really!"
The computer started bleeping.
"10", it spoke in a wierd computer voice that sounded a
cross between a dog in pain and a sheep.
"9, 8, 7", it spoke down in seconds, and then the ship
shuddered. The whole ship was basked in deep red alert lights, and
several red and orange lights shone up on the screen as the ship
sounded it's siren.
"Shields down, power down", shouted Reen above the
computer announcement that it was going to abort countdown and just
hyperspace now, "and the ship behind us looks like-"
Quite what it looked like neither knew, because the ship spun into
hyperspace, on it's way back to the Jedi Training
School.
"Fine, let's get going", you say, as you snap on the in-ship
communication channel, "This is your pilot speaking. Prepare for
Hyperspace".
