"HELLO CLASS!" boomed Captain Hammer, as soon as everyone was assembled in the Danger Shop. "I'm sorry you had to bear on without my presence last week. I had a superhero emergency." In that his cave had flooded, because Captain Hammer had not yet realized that basing his Ham-Lair on the beach wasn't the best idea. "Today... we are learning about the wonders of transportation!"

He passed around a few pictures of his various Ham-vehicles, mostly to show off. They were awesome, after all. "Every hero needs a way to get around. You can't run everywhere. What if you were busy entertaining until the last second, and needed to get somewhere extra-fast? These things," he said sagely, "do happen. So, today, we're going to play pretend!"

Hammer pressed a few buttons, and a small assortment of vehicles -- all state of the art -- appeared, each reasonably far apart from the other, with a small portion of vehicle-appropriate landscape before it. "I put you in pairs, and you're going to go play with one of these, and then report back to the class what you thought. I know both villains and heroes who all use these things! Keep that in mind! Tell us why it worked, and why it didn't. Now, shoo."

"I can ride a motorcycle," Tony offered. Because that knowledge would be useful with a covered wagon. "What's a bantha?"

"Big furry animal, sort of like a cow here, only they live in the desert and they're a lot bigger," Tahiri explained. "I used to have one as a pet when I was little. It's a special thing with the Sand People."

"You had a giant desert cow as a pet? Wasn't it," Tony waved a hand over his head, "like, way bigger than you?"

"Hey," Tahiri protested, laughing, as she reached for the reins and, failing, waved a hand and levitated them toward herself. "I know I'm short, but Bangor wasn't that much bigger than me! He was a calf when I got him. The Sand People bond with their banthas, and they're supposed to grow up together."

"Bond?" Tony asked. "Like a psychic link thing or like a buddies thing?"

"Not a psychic link," Tahiri said after thinking it over for a moment, "although it's happened before where a bantha will run off a cliff if its rider is killed. But it's a close bond."

"What happened to, uh, Bangor?" Tony asked.

"I'm not completely sure," Tahiri admitted. "I had to leave him behind when I went to the Jedi Academy. I saw him again, once, when I had to spend a week out in the Dune Sea, and he helped me get back home, but he stayed with the tribe. I wasn't there long enough to form a really strong bond with him, so he was okay. I hope."
