Flight of the Sword

[Sena]

Sena tracked Dax's movements. So he does know how to fix weapons. He was skilled and set to work instantly. "Well. Yes. I was," she started tentatively, trying to draw her memory. "It was long ago. I myself was wholly uninvolved in the affair. At least from what I can remember. The Death Star was truly terrifying. I had managed to get within a distance of it at some point during its time. No image can truly do it justice. But there is little I remember from the battles surrounding it," she said sadly. Most of her memory had left her years ago and it was not something that Sena was happy about.

Still at the console, Sena was looking through some more information about the ship. "Dax, you were right. This ship was a last ditch effort. There are some crew logs here. Some of the people that worked on it, describing the stress of building this thing. It was being made to turn the tide in the conflict with the Sith. It would have too," her voiced trailed off grimly. "The good news is we have a way out. The face of the cliff was given braces in preparation for this weapon to blow a hole in it. In other words we get to make a fashionable exit," she said with a chuckle.

Dax nodded as he aligned the final lens, "Yeah, well, this baby ain't going nowhere until I fix the power supply. A beat like this must have a huge power draw." The lens let out a loud click as it was reset and Dax took a step back, doing one last check to make sure all the lenses were properly placed. Moving onto the power supply he immediately noticed some burnt out components and promptly chucked them aside. Hunting around the deck, the man finally discovered some replacement components, brand new. Hopefully they stood the test of time. Placing those in their place, he ensured all the connections were solid before giving the woman the thumbs up, "Lemme get clear and we can give her a whirl."

Dax worked quickly. "Well everything else has to be done from the bridge, the controls lay there." Sena led Dax to the bridge once more. Their journey took time, having to travel about 2 kilometers, but lifts and transports made it quick enough. Once on the bridge Sena showed the control panel for the weapon to Dax and gave him the instructions she had found. While he worked on that Sena took control of getting the ship flight ready. There was an easy command that she ran which disconnected the wires attached outside of the ship that had lead to the terminal. She revved the engines and got the ship just off of the floor of the hangar.

It was busy work. She had to do the job that it normally took a few people to do, and barely managed to maintain. "Okay," Sena took a deep breath. "Fire!" The weapon took a moment to charge and unleashed a huge beam, shattering the walls of the cliff side. "Well that works," she yelled running about to various consoles.The behemoth of a ship moved forward, slowly at first, and then picked up speed. It cleared the hangar, which now had water rushing in. But the fall of the water was so quick and intense it made enough of an angle for the ship to just barely climb out. They were airborne!

The Talavara raced to meet the stars.
