Flight and Flying [Tuesday June 1]

[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. "The god of the moon of Iego, who brings destruction to all those who attempt to leave." He snorted. "In reality, Drol was a system of laser emitters programmed to track onto a ship as it hit orbit and blow it out of the sky. 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--at least in this class--so I'm starting you in 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."

Bobby was not going to meow adorably, no. But he was going to approach Anakin while hopefully looking suitably apologetic for missing two weeks of class.

"Hey, Professor," he greeted with a nod.

"Mister Drake," Anakin replied, nodding his head.

"I just wanted to, uh, apologize for not being in class the last couple weeks," he continued, trying not to fidget.

"Personal emergency," Anakin asked, "or did you just sleep through?"

"Funeral," Bobby explained simply. "So, that first one."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Anakin said, looking sympathetic.

For him.

So...look closely?
