❶ One year and four days following the Battle of Endor, the fleet of the New Republic assembled for its jump to lightspeed to Jakku. Admiral Ackbar opened the comms. "All ships, await my signal to jump to lightspeed. On my mark. Three, two, one, mark."
Naluma watched the jump from the crowded portside observation deck. She shifted her weight as the stars transformed to rays of blue, bringing the entire fleet into hyperspace.
The Freedom's running crew had relegated the passenger troops to this area, their packed quarters, or pulling a shift in the launch bays. Everywhere she looked, all she could see was a sea of people.
Where is he?She sent a tendril out pushing past the press of souls in between her and Luke. :Master? What's so funny?:
:'Luma?:
:You're late. Aren't we meeting on the observation deck?:
He didn't seem to be too concerned. :Oh, sorry, I'm with the XO right now, going over—:
:Uh-huh. Don't even try to excuse this one.:
He laughed at her. :Come join us. Officer's Ward Room. Deck Forn at the bow.:
"Who's "us"?:
:An old friend of ours.:
:The hermit has a friend?:
He chuckled. :It'sWedge.:
She brightened at the memory of Luke's friend she had met at the concert almost a year earlier.
:Come on. I'll order you one of those dark fizzy drinks you like.:
:On my way, master.:
