beginner's luck

[Annan Rainwalker]

They jumped out of hyperspace at the next nav-point, Ani noticing that the asteroid that (would have, were it not for the Ewok) served as their navigation spacemark was apparently named after him. With a sharp jerk on one of the control levels, his YT-2000 Scintillance flipped in space back downside-up, O.M.5 once again falling from the ceiling of the vessel to the floor (as the ceiling had, until moments prior, served as the floor itself).

Ani gave the droid an apologetic glance when he heard the clang.

The YT-1300 Effulgence jumped out moments after Ani's own vessel directly behind him, and while Bigweld the Droid was pleased to see Ani had resumed flying downside-up again, he continued to fill the comms with curses and insults that made the Jedi Knight wonder if any of Bigweld's memory chips had been scavenged from the remains of a famous ancient droid with a fascination for 'meatbags'.

In any case, Ani and Ani's Ships eventually flew by Ani-Oopsie without too much of a hassle. Of course, Ani may or may not have abused his telekinesis at some point while they passed. In any case, many would, thence on, wonder why the asteroid - which had for a thousand years and a thousand lifetimes been floating in that exact same spot ever since the destruction of the ancient planetoid named Ani-Prime whose debris it had been a part of - suddenly shifted in a space, as if nudged by the Force itself, beginning to move away from its position straight towards another asteroid passersby had named Zechsy-Poopoo. A simple, mildly powerful nudge by the Force and the lack of gravity would mean that Ani-Oopsie would never stop moving until it eventually hit Zechsy-Poopoo within the next few Galactic Standard Hours or so and both of them were obliterated to space dust.

Ani's two ships had silently jumped back into hyperspace - this time both maintaining a downside-up position - before having jumped back out just now, only a short distance behind the Admiral-of-None's own vessels. Meanwhile, Bigweld's unrelenting curses continued to fill the comms, along with something about singing Ewoks and delayed protocol and intercepted weather reports of meteor showers witnessed in a neighbouring star system as a result of the collision of ANI-OOPSIE with ZECHSY-POOPOO a few lightyears away.

Thus, the mission finally came to an end as their last nav-point had been crossed and their docking point came into view in the viewscreen in front of him. Ani closed his eyes, calling upon the Force and letting it direct his hand as he piloted the YT-2000 Scintillance, straight towards the docking bay. While he let the Force do the blind-piloting for him, the Jedi Knight himself pressed the play button, the viewscreen changing from showing the outside view to playing a documentary about ducks.

'Most duck species are monogamous for a breeding season but they do not often mate for life,' the narrator went. 'Instead, they will seek out new mates each year, choosing the healthiest, strongest, best mate who can help them pass on their genes to a new duckling generation...'

[Master Buggie]

When the time was right and after the Sith vessels had jumped to lightspeed all around him, Buggie casually steered away and jumped to lightspeed back to the Blue Star Pirates. His plan to infiltrate this Sith raid had failed, and he went home empty handed.

[Kell Sangros]

Seeing that the plan to intercept and plunder had failed, the all too familiar anger began to rise in the Sith. He slammed his fist on an empty panel and swore. He had made the jump back to Sith territory where he would get his star fighter serviced and be ready to act again when the call came.

He would go back to Sojourn and continue training, and studying. Hopefully next time they would be better organized and be successful.
