Star Wars Fanfic - Programmed to Obey

Chap. 38 - Back to Action.

In the present time.

B1: - Commander, we are ready to leave the planet's atmosphere. -

Icarus: - Understood. Engines to all machines. -

B1: - Roger. Roger.

The Munificent's powerful thrusters shook the ground and created strong gusts of wind that shook the vegetation and the dome walls hard. Those who were close enough had to cover their faces to prevent any object from hitting their eyes, while they felt the gusts shake their clothing. When the gale stopped tossing over the great plains, they could look up to see the huge ship ascending into the void of space, trailing thick white smoke behind it. Meanwhile, in the cabin of the Bountiful:

Doom: - Commander. We have turbulence, but nothing out of the parameters. -

Icarus: - Stay the course. Let the speed remain constant. -

Doom: - Understood. -

The Munificent cut through the many atmospheric layers one by one as flames formed visibly over the entire upper hull of the ship, but nothing to threaten its integrity. And after a final strong jolt, the huge ship finally reached the weightlessness of the outer void.

B1: - Commander. We have left Gwori's orbit. No damage detected. -

Ícaro: - Excellent. -

The droid turned, seeing a large group of thirty engineers standing behind the captain's chair inside the control room. They could not contain their excitement for a long time, clearly visible that they had many doubts if the ship could once again sail through the sea of ​​stars. -

Icarus: - Gentlemen. They already know what to do. Go to their posts and find out that everything works as it should. -

Engineers: - Yes, sir. - They shouted in unison.

The crowd left the command post, leaving only Icarus, Mirana, Doom, the B1 droids in charge of piloting the ship, and Wag Too, who was speaking on the comlink.

Wag Too: - Yes, honey. We managed to reach the atmosphere. It seems there won't be any problems... Of course... Yes... Yes... We'll return as soon as possible... Yes... Yes!... - He exclaimed at the end.

Icarus: - Wag Too. We are ready to go. - He told the lurmen.

Wag Too: - I have to go now. - He continued speaking through the communicator. - Yes I love you too. A kiss. - And finally hung up. - All set, comrade. -

Icarus: - Why does it seem like your IQ drops every time you talk to Mayor Miraj? -

The droid asked suddenly, causing the lurmen to be unable to hide his embarrassment at such tactless words, which caused Mirana to be unable to hold back a thunderous laugh.

Icarus: - Very good. Get ready to jump. Are we still getting the distress signal? -

Doom: - Affirmative. The coordinates appear to have not changed. -

Icarus: - Understood. Ready to jump. -

Doom and the other B1 droids: - Roger. Roger. -

After pressing a few buttons, the Munificent's hyperdrive began to heat up as it began to make that characteristic hum. And after a few seconds, the ship shot off at the awesome speed of light.

Mirana: - Don't we have more information about it? - He asked as they approached the place in question.

Doom: - Negative. We only know that it is a civilian transport that is being attacked by pirates. -
