Ugg. Politics are such a headache. This is the most irritating class I have ever had. Of course if I was at the Temple I would still have to take this course. My Master is not to fond of politics either, but he does his best to act interested when his wife talks about things going on in the Senate. There is one plus to this class. I can ask my Master's wife for help on my assignments.
I've been sensing something since my first class this morning. I'm not certain what it is and every now and then a picture flashes through my mind. It looks like a cell with a tiny bit of light coming through a hole. Maybe the Force is trying to tell me something, or maybe I'm so bored that I'm imagining things.
My next class is flying lessons. My Master had insisted that I take a flying class this year. Hey, that gives me an idea. My Master has a spare Jedi starfighter. I can use that to go on my mini vacation since I know enough to fly a ship now.
So where will I fly to? Will I go near to the core, or will I go into the unknown regions. Hmm, traveling in the unknown regions sounds like fun, and maybe I'll find an unexplored planet.
It's night out now. Time to go. I left a note for my Master's wife so she won't worry to much. I told her that I'm going out flying for a few days and will be back in five days.
I start up the engines and get them warmed up. I'm starting to get second thoughts about this idea. I'm going to get grounded for sure. Oh well, its like I haven't been grounded before and I am certain that my Master hasn't reported to the council about my past actions. The council would give me a stricture punishment or worse, but as long as my Master continues to keep these incidents away from the Council's ears then I will be fine. I think. What if my Master decides that he should report my actions to the Council? No, he won't do that.
I lift the ship off of the ground and exit the open hanger bay's door and head into space. Well, to late now. I'm going and no one will stop me. I put the ship into hyperspace and then take a homework assignment out of a small bag. I might as well finish up some homework while I'm out here. I don't want to get to far behind.
It's my second day out in space. I came out of hyperdrive a few seconds ago. All I can see are stars. I look done at the console as the ship's warning lights start flashing and shrilling. What is going on? I don't sense anyt….. Oh oh. I think I'm in trouble. There's some kind of vortex forming in space. I try everything to move away from it but the engines are not responding and I'm falling towards it. I'm going to be in major trouble if I live through this.
Oh, my head hurts. I think I got knocked out. I look out of the viewport and see unfamiliar star patterns and…oh Sith. There is a ship closing in and the minds I sense are hostile. I try getting the engines back online, but all of the controls are frozen. I call out to my Master through our bond as the alien ship traps my ship in a tractor beam and pulls me in.
This was such a bad idea. Why oh why did I think this was a good idea? My Master is going to kill me if these guys don't first.
I unstrap myself and grab my lightsaber. They're not going to get me without a fight.
Once my ship docks inside the larger ship, I open the canopy and jump out onto the hanger floor, igniting my lightsaber.
The hanger is dimly lit and I can barely see anything, but through the Force I can sense that I am surrounded. A shot is fired and I block it with my lightsaber. I'm attacked from behind by an alien wielding a wicked looking knife and I spin around and Force push it backwards.
I tell them that I don't wish to hurt them, but they keep coming at me. I really wish this was a bad dream, but its not. I blue bolt of light gets passed my lightsaber and strikes me in the chest. I drop my lightsaber and fall to the ground, my whole body paralyzed by the stunbolt. I can feel myself falling into unconsciousness. I call out to my Master again, but I fear that I'm to far away for him to hear me. I should have stayed home.
