Where: Naboo.
Rating: TBD.
"I've flown in ships before, but I don't think I've ever felt this excited," Cassie said as she settled into the co-pilot seat in the cockpit of the Vagabond. She'd warned Liri about her propensity to hurl during the jump to lightspeed, but this was just a practice take off to make sure the thing even worked. Which, Cassie was sure it would; if it didn't, this whole exercise would be a huge disappointment. She'd never been much of an optimist, but this event was definitely something where she thought there was little chance of her hopes being dashed.
"Let me know what you want me to do; I'm def gonna have to pick up one of those 'piloting for dummies' books. You'd think I would've invested the time, but..." She trailed off, her thoughts instantly going to Vlad again. He'd always been the driver; she'd been the navigator. Like so many things in their relationship, it had fallen together naturally. Cassie shoved the thought from her mind and focused on the console in front of her.
"I really think they should've added like...ten more buttons." The whole thing laid out before her with switches and blinking lights; it didn't even end on the dashboard. The walls were likewise covered in different apparatuses, including dials and readouts that would, most likely, inform them of the statuses of various processes that were going on sight unseen.
