Flight & Flying [Friday, June 22, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was waiting for the students on the top of the apartment building in town, leaning up against a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle.

"Welcome to the Virgo," he said with a small smile before giving them a quick rundown of the general specifications of the ship. "It's twenty meters long and is generally used to ferry soldiers or cargo back home," he said. "It's also equipped with a hyperdrive--which we will not be using--as well as two forward-facing double laser cannons, two wing-mounted double cannons, and a rear-facing double laser cannon." He met each student's eyes. "Which we will definitely not be using. We're going to do a quick swing around the system here--we won't go out as far as Pluto, but since it's not a planet any longer, I doubt it will be that offended."

He waved a hand towards the ramp. "Come aboard."

"I'd love to," Anakin said. "Rory's been getting weekly lessons."

"Oh really?" Isabel said. Maybe she and Luke wouldn't have to resort to locking them in a closet after all.

"Sure," Anakin said obliviously happily. "She's gotten very good."

Anakin beamed at her. "I like to think so," he said modestly.

Isabel smiled back and then reluctantly started to unbuckle. "I guess I need to give someone else a chance now don't I?"

"We'll fly again soon," Anakin promised.

"I'm looking forward to it," she said, then headed towards the back of the shuttle.
