"Come on, you've been on ships before," Cassie teased. "Although not in the cockpit itself, I guess." They were already through the open roof of the port, and now up into the early morning sunlight on Naboo. "The view is much better here."
Below them, Naboo stretched out green and gold under the sunlight, with the palace at Theed reflected in the river flowing past. They could also see the waterfalls just past the palace from here. "Sweet freedom," Liri added, with a grin. "Here, we are clear of the port so press here," she showed Cassie, "to switch over from repulser power to the sublight engines. They are already running, it's just control. This," she tapped the sensor array, "shows you what ships are in the vicinity." A bit at a time, she navigated away from the port with the controls, as she continued to explain each part to Cassie. They had not reached the upper atmosphere yet, as Liri seemed happy to cruise over the landscape below.
