Hyperspace
After they made the jump to hyperspace, Nomi stared out of the cockpit's viewport where the streaks of hyperspace rolled past.
She thought that it would never happen again – to be on the run. Decades ago they had the Empire on their tail, now it was the First Order. The Jedi sighed.
Dash Jr. cast a glance at his mother. He never saw her this way. "What is it, Mama?"
Nomi tear her eyes away from the viewport and looked at her eldest. "It's long ago when I was the last time on the run, Junior."
Dash Jr. winced inwardly when his mother called him Junior. He suppressed the urge to tell his mother that he is too old to still be called Junior by his parents. So he only shrugged "Since the academy's devastation I'm somehow used to be on the run. It isn't a new experience to me and my siblings, Mama."
He gave his mother a faint smile.
"I thought it would never happen again after defeating the Empire," the Jedi said silently.
"But it happened! The New Republic was too weak. The treaty with the remnants of the Empire was a joke." Dash Jr. slammed his fist on the console. "We disarm and them? They vanished somewhere in the Unknown Regions and came back to break our necks!"
"It was a decision of the politicians I think. I don't know for sure why they let the Imperials go. There wasn't much information being at Dagobah."
Her son shrugged. "Perhaps it was a mistake of yours to leave Coruscant."
"You know all too well why we were forced to leave."
Dash Jr. raised an eyebrow. "The Emperor's ghost, I remember, Mama. But now it seems his successors being far more dangerous than him. A whole planet transformed in a battle station." He shook his head. "I wonder what will be next."
"Outrider for Aquarius," Dash Rendar hailed his wife and his eldest son.
Nomi answered her husband's call. "Outrider here's Aquarius."
"How you're doing? You've any idea where to go now?" Dash asked her.
"Under the circumstances we're doing fine, darling. We should go to the rendezvous point and wait there for the others from base. I'm sure they'll come soon." Nomi replied.
"And what if they don't come?" Dash asked her with concern in his voice.
The Jedi sighed before she answered his question. "This is something I don't want to think about at the moment. I can't feel Corran in the Force and I hope that he's only hiding his presence."
"You know our youngest, he's smart. So I set the coordinates for the rendezvous point. I see you on the other side. Stay safe." Dash cut the connection and turned to Biggs who was sitting on the copilot's seat. "You heard your mother. Set course to the rendezvous point. I hope she's right and we see the others there soon."
