Flight and Flying [Friday morning]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived, Alec was standing where one would normally find Anakin (the padawan was watching, but seeming very hung-over or perhaps sick or maybe his player was on vacation - who knows?). And in front of him, there were two shiny swoop bikes

As well as the silly helmets from last week, one of which Alec was holding under his arm.

"So, Anakin wants us all to do some real flying this time around," Alec said by way of greeting. "Next week is the Coruscant trip and he doesn't want any of us freezing when we've got real controls in front of us.

"This one," he said, indicating the first bike. "Is Anakin's. The other one? Is mine. Don't crash either of them, or we'll be annoyed. The bikes can hit about 400 klicks, but you don't actually have to go that fast." He held up the helmet that he'd had under his arm so everyone could see. "I'll be wearing this so I can talk to you while you're buzzing around the island. Don't go over water, don't go towards the mainland, and don't crash into any rock faces, okay?"

Alec gave the class a demonstration of the bike's controls.

"Now get out there and don't die."

[ooc: Wait for OCD! Sorry it's so late, try not to kill yourselves because Anakin's around-but-not and Alec has no idea what Coruscant's going to be like so you can bug him but he'll probably just get annoyed.]

Questions?

Questions about Coruscant the bikes?

"Teacher's assistant, huh?" Dean teased.

Alec shrugged. "He asked for a hand, so I said I'd help."

Jaye thinks it might be a bad idea to ask if Obi-wan's asked about her.

Anakin would agree.

Fly the Swoop Bike

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Put on your helmet and let's go for a ride.

Bridge puts on his helmet and then takes a closer look at the swoop bike's controls before he starts up the engine. Okay, this doesn't look *too* complicated- close enough to SPD technology, anyway.

"This is *so* cool," Bridge says cheerfully as he takes off.

Alec's voice sounds over the radio as Bridge starts up and goes. "Off to a quick start," Alec remarks, amused. "Can you hear me okay?"

Zack whimpered as he put on his helmet.

"It's not that bad," Alec said over the radio. "Like riding a bicycle with an engine."

Finally a flight class that didn't have him hyperventilating. To Dean's mind the bikes were bikes and inspired no more fear than a regular motorcycle would.

Besides, he'd already got to drive one of these things and it was a hell of a lot of fun once he could stop worrying about Alec.

He put on the helmet, got on the bike and took off.

This? Was going to be fun.

Alec snickered through the comm system. "Doesn't seem like you're having any trouble this time."

Molly skipped over to one of the bikes when it was her turn. She put on the helmet and hopped onto the bike, starting the engine up right away. She'd flown with Alec before, so she was already kind of familiar with how the controls worked.

"How soon do I have to come back?"

Re: Fly the Swoop Bike

"Try not to be gone all day," Alec chuckled over the comm. "Otherwise, have fun."

Z put on her helmet and studied the controls carefully before she started the bike. "Okay, so, don't hit anything? I can do that!"

Re: Fly the Swoop Bike

[fates_jaye]

Jaye takes one look at the bikes and says, "I don't wanna die."

Re: Fly the Swoop Bike

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude had no problems with stupid helmets.

He also had absolutely no problem with the bikes, if the grin on his face was any indication.

"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude."

Alanna sighed and tried to figure out how slowly she could go without falling. This of course involved her falling a few times.

Peter put on the helmet, hopped on the bike, and looked for the one thing he needed. "How do I make it go?"

General Chatting

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Chat amongst yourselves.
