Flight and Flying [Thursday, August 23, 3rd period]

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."

River looked at the outfits and decided against putting one on. She smiled, thinking that Simon might have, though, just to be on the safe side.

Qui-Gon raised an eyebrow at the suits, wondering if Anakin had gone out of his way to procure the ugliest he could find. "I may think twice before putting that on even if there was a hull breach."

Adam stared at the outfit for a moment, having never seen anything like it. He decided he wasn't going to wear one.

Sam had given in to the propeller beanies, but the outfit seemed like a bit much.

Rikku giggled at the weird-looking uniforms. Hey, even the Al Bhed hadn't gone for anything that ugly.

Like any inhabitable planet Earth was beautiful from orbit. She'd also seen it recently from the moon, but that didn't mean it wasn't still pretty.

Marco had seen the Earth from space before, but at least this time his life wasn't in immediate danger, so he was enjoying the view, for once without any comments.

It really was a very pretty world, Qui-Gon thought gazing at the planet.

Adam had seen pictures of the Earth, but never like this. "Wow." It was beautiful.

Never in his wildest dreams had Johnny ever imagined that he'd actually get to leave the planet. Going into space was something for astronauts and people in TV shows; no way would a roving lower class hick like him every get the chance to try it. He pressed himself up against the ship's window, and watched in amazement as they really left the ground behind and shot up into space.

He could help but break into a wide grin of amazement when the shuttle turned to give them a good view of the Earth. It really was a beautiful planet.

Sam had to stare at how pretty Earth looked from where they were. It wasn't like he got to see this view all the time.

Rikku shivered. "It's beautiful," she murmured.

She wondered if Spira was this pretty.

It probably wasn't.

Asteroids! River grinned and reached for the controls. Wash had never let her fly Serenity through an asteriod belt.

Anemone was, as usual, running her fingers lightly along the various panels and humming to herself as she waited her turn.

Qui-Gon reached for the controls, sure that somewhere Master Dooku was shuddering without knowing why.

Rogue wasn't sure if she wanted to try actually flying the shuttle, but she figured Anakin would be a better judge of her abilities than she was.

Re: Fly the shuttle: empty space

Andros decided that he would fly in empty space since he figured that it'd be very hard for him to get killed this way.

Rory was there with coffee and cookies as per usual, listening much more attentively than last week.

River nodded, being in complete agreement. She was not going back to Umbridge's office. It would have been nice to have been able to hold on to the kitten plate as a trophy though.
