Flight and Flying [Tuesday, August 4, 4th period]

Anakin looked absolutely wiped out as he stood in the center of the flight shed. His eyes flickered to each student's face, mentally appraising their fitness to fly. "Today we're flying capital ships," he said, flicking his hands toward the screen set up in the corner. "Specifically this or the first minute and a half anyway capital ship. It was called the Invisible Hand and when I was flying it, half of it had already broken up in the atmosphere, the rudder that steered the ship had been in that half, and the thrusters weren't firing enough to stop us. The equipment was also set up for a species other than human and I couldn't read the controls."

Anakin had landed anyway. He was just that good. There wasn't a pilot in a million that could replicate what he'd done.

"Since I was working under rather...strained...circumstances, we'll do something a little easier to live through," he said. "You'll have the entire ship, and the back half will be on fire. The controls will be set up for your species and you'll be able to read the controls."

Yes, he thought that was cutting them a break. Anakin was odd. "Begin!"

Ender had actually debated showing up to class - he wasn't in the best of shapes and he was in no rush to advertise that. However, staying in his room after yesterday would have been an equal signal, if anything.

So he sat there, watching, and fussing with the bandage over his right hand periodically.

Claire was pretty impressed by the footage.

Worf did his best but it was mostly 45% landing and 55% crashing.

Peter was there, still pondering the events of the past week.

Danny stared at the screen and fought the urge to geek out a little about the ship and landing. Because seriously? That made up for Professor Skywalker being so crotchety.

Danny sort of, kinda, maybe cheated when he leveled the ship out long enough to use his cryokinesis to stop the fires. He then flew back to the cockpit and fought with the controls to try and land it successfully. It still landed hard and ended up grinding along the runway, but it wasn't as terrible as it could have been.

He transformed back before stepping out of the ship. "Did I miss the tower?" he asked, looking a little cocky.

Jess stared a little at the footage. Snarking at Anakin today didn't seem like the greatest idea for some reason.

"Hey, how's Sam doing?" Claire asked.

"I think he's starting to calm down," Peter said. "Hopefully."

"That's good," Claire said. "Let me know if there's anything I can do?"

"Absolutely," Peter said. "How are you doing?"

"I'm okay," Claire said. "Dinah's having a rough time, so we stayed up and watched chick flicks the other night. And Rose told me that there was a me there with dark hair."
