Originally posted by Mando' AdeHetar quickly shut down his number two engine which his R2 was screaming at him about. "Frag!" He slipped between two asteroids and curved around a third. He spotted the droid coming out of an asteroid and he got a lock instantly as it hadnt been moving that fast. He rained in lasers and launched his third and fourth torpedo, one with a proximity fuse and the other with a contact fuse. Rocks were beginning to clump together and he couldn't help but think this fighter had been over powered. (If anything hit you deal with it.)

Hetar shot behind a rock, skillfully flying between the asteroids as both torpedos streaked in with solid locks and hidded from sensors by the lasers that preceded it.
the droid sped upp again and spun into a barrel roll, shaking off the lasers starfox 64 style. on torped hit, while the other was intercepted by a small rock, which blew it to pieces. the starfighter shook off the hit with its shield at half power. it turned after hetar, watching itself loose another locked missile, accompanied by its last 2 proton torps. ((am getting off now.))

The droid sped up again, spinning to shake off the lasers. One torpedo hit, exploding against the shields, while the other was intercepted by a small rock, which it blew to pieces, raining stones on the shields severly weakening them. The droid then tried to track Hetar and turned after where the shots came from but with all the dense rock the sensors couldn't pick up his tail. The droid then calculated the possible position of its target and calculated the ETA, adjusted its pincers and streaked around an asteroid.
The turbolift shot them down into the base, the ice and rock wall caverns flashing past. "Well, well..." Aya smiled, then giggled. "I should have issued you new clothes, that male trooper outfit is a little too formal. By the way, I don't know your last name?"

Daran finished his Lomin ale and turned to his master, he smiled. "Another, my lady?" He shook his head, ready to begin something more. "I'd like to get our day underway." He said, nodding to Tyri.

Hetar swung around the asteroid and came straight into the guns of the droid. He squeezed the trigger to launch a torpedo, the his canopy went blank.

Hetar smiled. "Almost." He climbed out of the simulater, glad to be able to breathe fresh air. He waved to Tyri, and glanced at Kel. "Its overpowered, I bet you programmed it to a higher level, its not like any droid I've battled, or any pilot I've seen. Unfortunately, that leaves us with the bet, so did I outlast any of your pilots?"
"Lieutenant Syphex." Aya smiled, tapping her own chest plate and pointing at hers. "How does that sound, and you had better carry that with you 'til we find an officers fresher." Ayana looked up for a moment, then placed and arm against Satana's chest to stop her from falling, while bracing herself against the hold bars. The lift stopped suddenly. As the doors parted to a ice walled corridor with treated transpari-ice windows looking out into the large cavern that served as the landing hanger. Big enough, she calculated, to hold three Imperator-class Star Destroyers, it currently held one Interdictor-class Star Destroyers, two heavily damaged Corellian Corvettes, and a Calimari Battlecruiser. Aya smiled as droids buzzed around the hanger, looking through the transpari-ice. "Wow, this place is like three times bigger than when we left a week ago, and the ice manipulation technology seems to be improving." (EH, hurry up a come back so I have someone to bully? Kidding!!)
Q'Anilia smiled faintly as she turned to face Daran with a nod. The drink had been satisfied beyond her expectations, considering she had drank only water for the past many years.
"One more then, but that'll be the last one for me"
She sensed the touch of frustration over Hetar as he had exited the simulator. She couldnt help but to find it amusing that something so unreal could get on someones nerves so easily.
Daran nodded and waved over a server.
The server walked over, taking ot a datapad. "Sir?"
"Corellian Blood please and... a Lomin, mistress?" Daran turned to Q'Anilia, his eyebrows raised, his eyes reflecting the white light of the ice walls. "The same?" He asked.
The bustling patrons hum of conversation filled the background with senseless talk, while Hetar made his way over.
Q'Anilia smiled and nodded visibly, as she confirmed that Lomin Ale was what she would have prefered. The various chattering across the cantina was frequent and relatively loud, but it didnt bother Q'Anilia much. All she could focus on was to for once relaxe, with company. A situation like this was more than rare. Rare was an understatement.
"Yes, one Corellian Blood and a Lomin Ale"
kel smiled, extending his hand to shake hetar's. around them, every pilot in the room was staring, looks of awe on their faces. "actually, that's on realistic level. you were fighting against a droid brain that thought it was in a real battle. you outlasted every pilot in here by 12 minutes. except for me. i managed for 20, but only by using the field as cover then ambushing it in the larger rocks. my squadron when it was fighting a squadron of those lasted 4 minu-" suddenly, an uproar of cheers echoed through the chamber, resouding throughout the base beyond. it was loud enough that hetar and kel couldn't hear eachother talk.
Satana frowned and held the chest plate in one of her hands. "Lt.? Are you sure? I mean you only just met me... I've gone from a passenger to a private and now I'm a Lieutenant.... Damn... I should have left Jacen's fleet a long time ago." She laughed and looked out at the hanger. "You were here before, huh?"
Hetar pushed through the crowd, Kel in tow. "Yea, maybe. Can I buy you a drink?" Hetar broke through the crowd, some still trying their hands at the Endor settings, but others were now trying out the droid challenge. Then merely a minute later were stepping out, complaining about how the game was fixed or something. Julius reached Tyri, as she stood up, wrapping his arms around her and planting his lips on hers. He kissed her for almost a minute, silencing the crowd. He broke the kiss but didn't release her, tasting the tea on her lips. "He smiled, looking in her eyes. "You okay? So what do you want to do now?"

Aya giggled, turning to Satana as they walked. "Oh silly, you deserve the rank. I mean, you have a cool head during action, and I'm sure you'll do well as my personal aid at first." They stepped into the busy cantina moving overto the bar,
