Flight & Flying, Friday

"So okay, some of you nominally know how not to die," Atton said. They were by the flight sims again, and if you peeked over his shoulder, you could get a glance of a dark city skyline.

What? He missed Nar Shaddaa, the way you missed a loose tooth or a bunion that'd always been there or something.

"Now you're going to try doing that again, but with company." He held up a button-- after a second, it projected a holographic image of a small starship above it. "This is the T-16 skyhopper," he said cheerfully. "Yours is going to be full of passengers. They're going to yell at you and try to back-seat drive. Instructions on how to actually use the controls are in the cockpit."

Beat.

"Get them to where they want to be in one piece."

Atton clearly prefers the 'throw them in the deep end' approach.

Or maybe he's just trying to see if he can rattle Anakin.

It's a little whiles across town, with a few twists and turns and some traffic, but nothing crazy. There's even a set of control instructions taped to the dashboard.

"Okay, you're supposed to back out of this spot slowly," one of the people in the back calls to you. "Be careful!"

It goes downhill from there.

And then people start shooting at you.

"I will drop you all out of the back of this ship without parachutes," Anakin informed them, "and not feel guilty at all. Shut the frell up."

Thank you, Aeryn, for your eternal influence on Anakin's vocabulary.
