h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*the Interceptor limps onto the pad and sets down*

*Annat climbs out, kicks the thruster array and lights up a cigarra*

*gets out an stands enough away from the smoke and shakes head*

*flicks the cigarra out accross the pad*

Right then. Know where we can find a good mechanic? And a good place to meet the Ambassador?

*sees the Interceptor land*

*climbs down IC's ramp*

Master Gr'jar, Master Annat?

No. And I wih for the meeting with marol to be quick.

*swears quietly under his breath*

Chnei.... Do you have a set of tools and the ability to fix a hyperdrive?

I..I think I have the tools, but I've never fixed a hyperdrive...

Chnei?

Then that's a no. In that case I need your tools.

*turns to Gr'Jar*

I'll fix this engine Master, will you try and organise a meeting with Ma'rol?

Yeah, what?

...I mean, yes, master?

What are you doing here chnei?

Uh, I was at Jo'tra's and Co'bal told him to come here and then he told me to come here too, so I did, and since then neither of them have turned up and then I radioed Co'bal and she said that Ma'rol was investigating her or something, and to contact Jacru, so I did, and now we're supposed to be going to Naboo to tell them about Co'bal so I'm waiting for Jacru.

*shakes head and wanders off to a nearby booth*

*returns with a box of tools and slides himself under the Interceptor*

Jotra? That boy you have to be careful around.

*gets defensive*

Why?

*muffled swearing and banging can be heard from underneath the interceptor*

*a spark of electricity leaps from Annat to a landing strut, accompanied by a loud barrage of expletives*

*looks at Annat*

Ahh, is he ok?

Jotra has chosen to ignore histraining and responsibilities. If he wished to leave the academy he need not go about trying to get forced out.

I don't think Jo'tra is trying to get thrown out...

Then he needs to be more commited... to his training that is.
