Who: Anakin and John Shepard What: First meetings, When: Sunday afternoon Where: Outside the stables Rating/Warnings: Probably low Status: In progress/Closed
It was a clear, brightly lit afternoon, and Anakin didn’t see any need to work on his bike in the confined darkness of the stables. He was ever removing one part or another to increase its task proficiency; or, because he’d had to build a good many components from scratch using what he would call ‘primitive’ technology – this world didn’t even have standard repulsorlift technology, he was forever improving upon his own designs.
For safety purposes the bike was not hovering today, but rested on braces. Anakin did not want to experience any electrical feedback. He wrenched the final fastener loose on the part that was this afternoon’s project, and then he was setting aside his tools so he could remove the component in question.
Out of the corner of his eye he noticed a man moving about the yard. But there was nothing in the Force to indicate this should make him wary. Anakin continued working on detaching the rear stablizer.
When the man drew closer, he did look up and gave him a polite nod of acknowledgement.
