Flight Club meeting (after Comparative Religions class)
Anakin stood outside the Flight Club shed and waited for the rest of the club to arrive. When they had, he cleared his throat and used the Force to amplify his voice over the chatter of the crowd.
"Today we're going to get to fly Senator Amidala's Baby." He smiled. "Some of us will be actually breaking atmosphere and flying the real thing. I'll be taking the first four students with real-time space flight experience who come up to me over to where the Baby's docked outside of town. The rest of you will get the try it in the flight sim, which has been programmed with the specs for a Naboo Royal Starship. It flies a lot differently than the Starfighter we tried last week--there's more mass to it, so it has a slower reaction time. There also aren't any weapons on the Baby, as it's a diplomatic vessel rather than a combat-equipped one."
He gestured at Cally. "Cally, one of our resident mechanical geniuses, is going to be manning the flight sim today. Try not to push all of the buttons and jam it up when you're flying it--it'll make both of us cranky."
He looked down at his notes. "For Parents' Weekend I've let the Student Council know that the flight sim will be open so you can show off your skills to anyone who might be coming. They'll also be welcomed to try it."
He folded up his paper. "That's it for now, unless you have any questions. Oh--I'm putting out a piece of paper for suggestions of aircraft programs to include in the sim--I don't want to keep using crafts that only I'm familiar with--it's not fair to the rest of you. Thanks!"
[OOC: Let me set up some anal-retentive comment threads before you come play.
ETA: All set up. Yay!]

Re: Fly the Sim.
I just know that from fiddling with the controls. Easy does it, unless you're ripping out a fuel line.
Re: Fly the Sim.
Kiki pauses and then says, "Oh no. I just realized I have to land this thing."
Re: Fly the Sim.
Well, you're on your own there... I have no idea what to do. I just turn the flight sim on and off.
