Aellyn laid on her back, staring at the bunk above her. Her hands rested on her stomach, fingers intertwined. She missed her apartment back on Coruscant. Comfortable bed, all the amenities. How did she end up on this piece of junk? Right. Moral conscience. Running from the Empire was no small trick. Erase her life. Take a new name. Thank you Empire for the tricks, she thought with a smirk forming with her lips. Her data pad beeped as she picked it up, bringing it above her head to read. “Finally.” She muttered. Her legs swung out as she stood from the bottom bunk. Pulling on her boots and stepped out of her room. The door swooshed closed behind her, as she made her way toward the cockpit.
Aellyn heard a hearty laugh as the door to the cockpit opened. The pilot and his R2 unit appeared to be doing some type of maintenance check. The ship really just needed to be sold for credits or parts. “Um, Hi…” She tapped her data pad against her hand as she moved into the co-pilot seat, next to the navigation system. “I have the latest shipping routes, Imperial checks, etc. The ones I promised you, when I asked for passage.” She held her data pad up before plugging into the console.
The R2 unit started to whistle and beep like a child throwing a tantrum. She smiled and placed a hand onto the top of his droids head. “It’s standard, no harm. Just some new charts, making it easier to get past any checks. Don’t want the Empire to be poking around.“ That seemed to calm the little droid, her eyes went to her data pad then to the navicomputer as the upload started.
“Lotho?” She paused looking at the Pilot. “You didn’t mention a detour when we were negotiating passage.”
