Flight and Flying, Tuesday, May 31st

[sith_happened]

"Today we're going to ride on speeder bikes, which are like motorcycles, except that they can go up to 400 kilometers an hour and can fly, and are therefore much, much better," Anakin said. He pointed to the right hand simulation. "This one has been set up for target practice if you are comfortable with such an exercise. In this simulation, you will find yourself on a forest moon. In the left hand one, you're in a planet-wide city that makes the worst Los Angeles traffic look like a day at the beach."

He smiled. "Try not to crash and die."

Very helpful, Anakin.

Fly in the city [beginner]

You're on Coruscant, a planet that is covered with buildings that climb for hundreds of miles. It's been centuries since anyone has seen the surface. The traffic is highly regulated, but it's also moving very, very quickly.

Feel free to pair up (one person rides behind the other) and chat as you speed through the city.

Listen. Bobby might have felt cocky enough to try the advanced route, if he were not also seriously sleep-deprived thanks to a certain singing fish.

Which was currently doing a Captain America impression back in his room, in the sense that it was frozen in a block of ice.

(The ice didn't totally muffle the sound, but it did make it somewhat more tolerable)

ANYWAY, he was doing this thing, and definitely only almost crashed once. Really.
