Flight Club - Flight Shed, Monday (After Classes)
Your intrepid club leaders didn't look particularly cheerful today, after the weekend. And Tahiri, in particular, looked like she was ready to climb into an actual cockpit and not just a simulation -- crisp flight suit, boots (ugh), very compact travel bag.
"Hey, guys," she said, hands tucked behind her back. "After this weekend we could probably use a pretty easy day, huh?"
Ben kept sneaking glances at her outfit, looking unhappy. "Or possibly a chance to shoot things in a safe environment," he added. Which he really wanted to do. "So our land-based option today is speeder bikes," he said, then went through the basic controls of one.
"You'll like those," Tahiri added, going for cheerful and missing by a few centimeters. "If you think you're up for it, today's spaceflight option is one that isn't actually from our galaxy, even though the ship looks kind of similar to some of our snubfighters . . . it's a Viper Mark II." It was her turn to go over the controls there, which took a while; the Mark II wasn't known for having a technologically advanced instrument panel. "The tricky thing about these is they don't carry lasers. Those guns carry actual ammo. Well -- simulated actual ammo, anyway, so it'll have a different kind of kick. Just keep that in mind while you're shooting things, okay?"
Ben nodded. "Have fun, guys."

"I'm afraid of being like her," she admitted. "And what I would become. I want to dedicate my life to restoring democracy to the galaxy, not crushing it. If Alderaan were destroyed and any rebellion crushed, wouldn't that inspire me to fight harder?" That had been what she had tried to say in class not long ago, after all.

He gave her hands another squeeze, trying to hide the sorrow in his eyes. "I'd certainly hope so," he said. "Can you try not to get captured, just in case?"
