The Planet Ryloth, the home of Twi'leks was under occupation by the Separatist Army. The Chancellor has ordered Master Kenobi to lead a massive fleet to mount a ground assault, but the problem, there was a blockade. Me, Master, and Ahsoka were sent by the chancellor himself to clear the blockade in time for Obi-Wans fleet.
I was helping Ahsoka get situated into her fighter. It was her first time commanding a squadron all by herself. I had a lot of faith in her, I had seen her flying capabilities and they were pretty good.
The R7 droid was lowered into the compartment. "You nervous?" I asked her. She shook her head, obviously nervous.
"I just wanna make a good impression." She said.
"Well maybe you can put your seat belts on the correct and sturdy way." I said, peering into her seat.
She unbuckled herself and re-buckled more carefully. The droid beeped at her.
"Of course I'm not nervous, why does everyone keep saying that?" Ahsoka said.
I was starting to understand droid, or atleast recognize the beeping fluctuations. "She's nervous." I said leaning on the fighter.
"All ships prepare for launch." Admiral Yularen said on the intercom systems. "All ships prepare for launch." He repeated.
"Hey Snips! Hey Giggles!" Master approached us.
"Hello Master." I replied.
"This is it Snips," he said leaning looking down at her in the fighter, "Your first command! Don't be nervous."
Ahsoka frowned "I wish everyone would stop saying that."
Master smiled. "The men you're commanding are depending on you. With their lives." I nodded approvingly."Thanks, that takes the pressure off." She said sarcastically. "If I wasn't nervous before, I sure am now."
"Hey! I have faith in you." Master reassured her. "I wouldn't send you out there if I didn't think you could handle it."
"You'll do great." I whispered to Ahsoka, patting the ship.
"Now you," Master pointed at me. "I got a lesson planned."
I smiled and got off the ship. "May the force be with you." I said to Ashoka. She readied her engines and prepared to lead the men.
I caught up with Master who hadn't stopped walking. "What's planned for me Master?" I asked.
"You're gonna call the shots." He said.
"What? Me? Right now?" I was dumbfounded. Why would Master put me in such a crucial position, just as a learning experience?
"I saw you on Christophsis, and on Naboo. You have potential." He said as we approached the bridge.
"But Master, this mission is critical, I'm not ready—"
