Flight- Monday- 3rd period

[solo_sword]

By third period at least, the Danger Shop had been programmed, and once again the students would find themselves in a field, with Jaina standing next to a couple of crates.

"Welcome back, everbody. We're obviously not in ships today, but you do get to use something that you probably don't get to much in your normal lives." And with that, Jaina reached into one of the crates and pulled out a jetpack. "This a jetpack. It's from my galaxy, because while I know you occasionally hear about someone trying it here, it's often terrifying. At least I'm sure we've worked out this particular technology. You're going to wear a helmet so that you can control it using voice commands. Basically what you're doing today is getting to try them out and fly around as you want without burning off any body parts. Just as long as no one crashes into each other in purpose or tries to pick midair fights. For some reason I want to get that out there before anyone tries it."

Listen to the lecture/suit up

Listen, put on the jetpack and helmet and talk about how cool you look...

"I look so much better in this than Mandolorians ever did," Cade declared.

Evan quirked a little bit of a tired smile as he listened to Jaina talk, today. Jetpacks- He knew those. It would be something nice and familiar, to ease him back into classes and the second half of the semester.

The helmet part was kind of new. He let himself get lost, for a while, in poking at how it was put together before finally pulling on all of his gear.

Jetpacks? Yes!

She wondered if she could get Titan Industries to alter her costume to give her one. Probably not since it didn't fit in with her image and Poseidon Line might complain but...

It was fun to dream.

Emily smiled in anticipation, and perhaps due to the mental image of herself trying to control a jetpack.

Look, she was either going to laugh at herself or ditch the entire exercise altogether.

Ordinarily Anakin would be radiating excitement over something like this, or at the very least examining his jetpack with a tech-geek's focused enthusiasm. Today he just seemed sort of . . . distracted and listless, though he did look impatient to get started.

Now THIS was more his style. Bucky strapped himself into a jetpack and promptly teetered over backwards. Sure, he was stuck with his legs in the air like some stupid turtle, but he looked cool that way. Everything was cooler in a jetpack.

Ulrik was eyeing the equipment dubiously, to be honest. The equipment was far too reminiscent of scuba gear, and when you've witnessed someone actually die due to their body being liquified by water pressure, a bit of dubiousness was to be expected.

On the other hand, Jaina had yet to lead them astray. And as he understood the Danger Shop's controls, serious harm wasn't a possibility. So, he strapped on the equipment and got ready to go.
