Flight and Flying [Tuesday, July 28, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

When the students entered the flight shed, they would notice a sequence of lights spread across the ceiling.

"Meet Drol," Anakin said, waving his hand as he walked in a few seconds late. He hadn't planned on taking a nap in his office, and the dream had been especially vivid--and odd. He shook his head. "The god of the moon of Iego, who brings destruction to all those who attempt to leave." He snorted. "In reality, Drol is a system of laser emitters programmed to track onto a ship as it hits orbit and blow it out of the sky. That same technology was later used to exterminate entire planets. We'll get to in a few classes. For today, you will be piloting a G9 Rigger freighter, which is neither sexy nor particularly speedy, but it's your first time flying in space, so you need something that can take a little beating up."

He flashed them a tiny smile. "For you beginners, you will only have to navigate around the asteroids in Iego's atmosphere. People with a little more experience will face off against Drol. Figure out how to disable the system without exploding, please."

He clasped his hands together in front of him and tried not give Peter a confused look. The dream hadn't been real. "Begin."

"Oh, right," Claire said with a giggle. "Not quite the same as feeling like you are flying in space though."

"Definitely not," Peter agreed. Then, because he had lingering concern about Sam, he asked, "How are you doing?"

"I'm good," Claire said. "Glad to be back in the dorms. Glad Jon is no longer a puppy. You?"

Re: Talk to the TAs

"Same on all counts," Peter said. "Though change out Jon for Sam."

Re: Talk to the TAs

Claire pouted. "You're not glad Jon is human again? I'm glad Sam is."

She was teasing, yes.

Re: Talk to the TAs

"More glad about Sam," Peter amended.

Claire smiled. "The four of us should go out sometime."

"I don't think Jon and Sam will be as into the play date idea," Peter said.

Re: Talk to the TAs

"I was thinking more along the lines of dinner. Maybe a movie?"

Because Claire was determined to make Peter like Jon.

"Dinner's good," Peter said. "Allows for conversation."

Re: Talk to the TAs

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Conversation's good," Claire agreed. "Especially when it's friendly."

Re: Talk to the TAs

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I can be friendly," Peter said.

"I know you can," Claire said with a smile. "That's why you're my favorite uncle."

Never mind that he was the only uncle she was aware she had. Because even if she did know about Flint, Peter would be her favorite.

"I am pretty awesome," Peter agreed, teasing.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Must be genetic," Claire grinned.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"See that I would not agrue," Peter told her.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"What would you argue?" Claire wondered.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"That Petrelli blood is less than awesome," Peter replied.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire nodded. "That's a good thing to argue."

Because Petrelli blood was awesome. Even if it made you make stupid decisions.
