Flight- Monday- 3rd period
"Welcome back," Jaina greeted the students after everyone had gotten to the flight shed. "Today we're going to actually do some flying. Simulated flying, but you'll all have to deal with that."
She gave them a quick rundown on how to use the simulator with a reminder that you break it, you answer to Anakin Skywalker, and then began the lecture. "What we're flying today is something at least a couple of you are probably at least familiar with: the X-wing. It's a starfighter, equipped with proton torpedoes, and when I say it's the best it's my totally unbiased opinion and not because I've been flying one since I was your age." Lies. "When you're flying an actual ship, you get your own little assistant called an astromech droid, which looks a little like this."
And then there was a pause as her teaching aid didn't come rolling forward on cue, till she finally said, "Hey, Rowdy, showtime," and a little astromech droid rolled out, beeping something that Jaina was probably glad she couldn't understand. "Rowdy, this is my class. Class, this is Rowdy. He's my copilot when I'm flying, plus into the ship and runs diagnostics and fixes certain things while you're flying. You can fly without a droid, but it's not recommended.
"So what you're going to do today is get in the sim, and you've got a choice of what to do. If you're new and just want to test things out, you can just fly around some empty space today. If you know what you're doing already, or want to chance it anyway, you're going to go ahead and fly through a trench in a space station to try and get a proton torpedo through a two meter-wide hole in an exhaust port to blow the thing up. Have fun with that." Because some things were a classic.
