"Shit shit shit,"Rune said. As the hyperdrive exploded and Akira came flying into the cockpit, she was lucky she was still alive. "Shut up Yumi."Rune shouted at her. He need quiet to concentrate right now, they were entering the Dagobah system way too fast. Rune flipped two switches that deactivated the thrusters, and flipped another switch which lowered the wind flaps, trying to slow the ship down. The back of the ship began to catch fire, Rune pulled up on the controls trying to level her out. He pressed a button that lowered the landing gear, though he doubt it would do much good. Rune pulled back on the controls and pulled to the left, forcing the ship down on the treetops, where it sat motionless for a moment. Rune wondered it would hold for long, when suddenly it dropped through the branches and down into a very large area of mud. Luckily the ship wasn't submerged in water, though it wouldn't have made much difference. Rune shut everything off and looked back to Yumi and Akira, "She's out cold ain't she Yumi?"He asked.

Yumi was at the comm. station, sending out a beacon that would go off when one of two things happened: One was when Intrepid came out of hyperspace, or if anyone tried to contact them. One they were back in atmosphere, Yumi completely dumped the hyperdrive, and vented the smoke.
She braced herself and Akira, and hit the front glass hard, cracking it. Somehow, it hit something back into place, because her left arm started working again, and its holo-emitters activated, also, hiding the metal under light and fake surface. She wrapped Akira up with Rune's robe.
Yea, she hit her head hard. She probably has a concussion and maybe some internal bleeding thanks to the explosion.
Yumi stood up and changed her clothing from something less naked. It was just a long white dress than ended just passed her knees.
She needs real medical help, but so long as she doesn't go anywhere pr move too fast, than she should be fine until help arrives. [/color][/center][/sub] |

"Alright. Look after her, I'm going to check this place out."Rune said. He turned around walking out of the cockpit back to the hatch, where he lowered it and walked outside. Of all the luck in the galaxy, he had to land on the only uncivilized system in the Republic. He began making his way through a thick swamp that was up to his waist, snakes swimming beside him. Until he came to a rock surface where he decided he could rest for a moment, his ribs were hurting now. After a few minutes of sitting on his flat rock Rune rose to his feet and continued walking. He stepped away from the flat surface and began to tumble head first as he fell through a hole in the earth, rolling down a tunnel until he landed flat on his back. "AHH!!"He screamed from his broken rib. Suddenly he stopped screaming as he felt something close by, something very dark, poking his head up to see what it was...Rune saw an entrance to a cave, which had a very strange aura around it. He got back up to his feet slowly and approached the cave, resting his hand on the outside of it. ~Enter face your darkness~A voice said within his head.
Rune walked a few feet inside of the cave and all seemed normal, a few more paces and that would change. Rune began hearing and seeing things. He began hearing all the voices of his life screaming out in agony and pain, those who had been murdered. When he opened his eyes he saw all the faces he had killed on Tattoonie as a Tusken, all their faces looking at him from the walls; as if they were stuck there in time. Screaming at him, it frightened Rune so much he dropped to his knees. He could handle all this at once, hundreds of voices begging for his mercy, but it was already too late; they were dead. ~Kill him Lord Koonda! Show no mercy!~A voice said from seemingly no where. Suddenly out of the shadows a figure began to appear, stepping out into the dim light. Some mechanical terror of a man, it bent over grabbing Rune by the throat, raising him up into the air. Rune began to fight against the choke, but his grip was too tight, Rune began to gasp. ~Yes! Good Koonda!~The voice shouted. All the hundreds of voices Rune had silenced were still screaming out as Rune was being shown no mercy, overwhelming Rune. From the shadows another person stepped out, though it was a woman, and she was beautiful, bathed in the lightside of the Force. ~Kill her Koonda! Kill her!~ The voice shouted. The mechanical man dropped Rune and let him fall to the ground, turning its attention on the woman. Before it could grab her, she tossed a lightsaber to Rune. Rune immediately activated it once it was in his hand, a brilliant jade colored blade came up from behind the monster, slamming into its back, the monster disappeared. The only person that was left, was the woman on the ground, bloody and dead...When suddenly she disappeared too, as did all the faces against the wall..."Why..Why would she save me like that, she knew she was going to die if she did."Rune said to himself. Rune looked to his hand, which was holding the lightsaber. "Was it real?!"He asked himself. Rune left the cave and started to make his way back to the ship, back to Akira and Yumi.

Yumi brought Akira into the back cargo area and set her on the ground. She used two spare blankets as a pillow and one as an actual blanket. After she made sure her master was settled in nicely, she went back into the cabin and checked everything. With her left arm working again, she was easily able to access all the systems.
The only systems that were working were the short range transponder, a small power generator, one blaster cannon, and a beacon. Most were useless, but only for now. The blaster could be used for defense if they really needed it, and the beacon and transponder were on no use to them right now.
Yumi Exited the cabin and went to open the hatch back up. She climbed onto the rood of the shuttle and activated her sensors, mapping the location within 10 kilometers. Rune was somewhere close, and started closing in on them. When he was within speaking range, she called out to him.
Hey, find anything interesting? [/sub] |

Rune could hear Yumi calling out to him over a small distance, he used Force Jump. Decreasing the gap between Yumi and himself, he landed on top of the ship close to where Yumi was standing. Rune raised his right hand, which was holding a lightsaber that he didn't previously have. "Just this old thing, why do you ask?"Rune said.

I was hoping it was something we could use. Akira, last time I checked, is still asleep. I'm worried for her. She had some internal bleeding, and she needs help within the day or else she will die. [/color] Yumi turned her head, hearing something. She shook her head slightly before going back into the shuttle. Akira was moving around slightly, and Yumi pressed a hand to her to keep the human still. Akira's eyes opened and she attempted to get up, but grimaced in pain. She whispered words to calm her master down. Take it easy. You need to rest right now, Akira. Help is on the way.Where's Ash? Hopefully on his way.You lie. Get him here now. Ok, I will, just rest right now, ok?Fine.[/b] Yumi didn't know who the hell Ash was, and she couldn't do much to help her out right now. Akira just needed to calm down and rest; save her energy. Yumi walked into the cabin, signaling Rune to fallow her.[/center][/sub] |

Rune overheard the conversation from outside the ship, and Akira mentioning Ash which perked his interest. He wondered how she knew Ash, then again he didn't really care. After Yumi beckoned him to enter, he did so following her into the cabin.

She's hurt worse than I thought. She has burns of all degrees appearing on her skin. I think she tried to shield herself, but it broke, and only masks the wounds. I believe her concussion is also making it hard to focus on, and that this Ash is just something in her mind to help her out. Think you can make sure she remains calm while I work on getting us out of here?
Yumi's previous master installed all sorts of programs and tools that came in handy while on a mission, but one of those was not piloting. She would need to talk to Mistress Kitana about obtaining some of that programming.
Yumi turned away, and went to a console. She plugged a cord into the computer, it coming out of her left forearm, and then started tapping away on the console. It wasn't hard to start rerouting the power. If she managed it by hand, she would be able to boost something to almost what it was, but she was worried about how long that would last. For now, she just worked on getting was was needed but damaged fixed, after finding it. [/sub] |

"Yeah sure, no problem."Rune said as he sat down in the pilots chair. He flipped another switch and grabbed the radio, putting a distress single out. Hoping it would hit something, or at least help someone locate them. "Try to hurry it up Yumi, I don't need your dead master on my hands."Rune shouted back to her. Rune wasn't one for patience, and had never been his strong point. But he was learning to control such urges, he had to, or else he would leave his boss here for dead. He leaned back in the chair, looking out the cracked windshield, thinking about what had happened back in the cave...

Yumi worked quickly, transferring power to communications with her hands, and aiming it at the transponder in space with her head. She was working fast to help out Akira. It was up to will to figure out where he wanted the signal to go. Yumi believed that they had maybe enough power for two different signals before it cut out. She manipulated the power carefully, waiting for it to peak.
Rune, send out the signal now! [/color][/center][/sub] |

Rune set up the signal paths before hitting the button down. Sending one to the Omega Base and another to the nearest Republic System with civilized life on it, the one the scanners had picked up on before they crashed here. Rune stood up, walking back to where Yumi was. Leaning against the wall, he wasn't so confident anymore. "Don't worry Yumi, I know we won't die here..I'm just not so sure about Akira.."Rune said to Yumi.

She's not going to die, and say that she could die again, and if she does, so will you. [/b] Yumi strolled passed Rune and into the back of the freighter. Akira was asleep again, and Yumi tucked her back in. Her shifting and turning brought out some limbs from under the blanket. The burns were noticeable now, but her face showed only black splotches. So far, there were no third degree burns, which was good. Yumi reached out for the med-pack and started applying burn jell onto the burns on Akira's arm and legs. She wouldn't get her torso yet, but would wait until the end when she could make Rune get out.[/center][/sub] |

"Then we need to do something. We can't just wait here for her to die, or us."Rune said. He left Yumi to tend to Akira's wounds, returning to the cockpit with determination. The hyperdrive was shot, but Rune knew the ship was still capable of flight, just not hyperspeed travel. He began tinkering with the wiring down below the controls, letting the Force help guide his actions. Even though he didn't have much experience in ship repairing he simply had a feeling within him, that he could get them out of this bind. Rune connected two wires that were crossed, it created a small puff of smoke, Rune pulled his head back out of the smoke. Once it cleared he looked back inside and saw that he had managed to get a small gear rotating very quickly, an instant smile came upon his face. He climbed off the ground so he could stand in front of the control consul. He flipped the switch for the engines, and they began warming. He sprinted back toward where the hyperdrive use to be, running past Yumi, "Yumi! Get to the controls. When I tell you pull back on the controls, hold it a few feet off the ground till I get back!"Rune yelled. Rune ran into the engine room to the back wall where a faceplate was on the wall, inside was the default chips that governed how the ship operated and how it didn't; ultimately setting its limits. Rune took the face plate off and began pulling all the chips out, and quickly rewiring the main engines to replace the hyperdrive, then dropping the shields power to reroute to the engine thrusters. "DO IT YUMI!!"Rune shouted from the back of the ship/

Yumi was typing away, monitoring what Rune was doing. As soon as she figured out what he was trying to do, she assisted in the power flow, and when Rune told her to work the thrusters, she instead rerouted that power and kicked on the main generator. Lights came on around the cabin, and, she assumed, everywhere else.
She worked with the power flow, testing out key systems. Repulsorlifts were working, but thrusters were not. She played around a little, and found out that one wasn't working. In fact, it wasn't even on the shuttle anymore. She brought the shuttle up about two meters off the ground, and called out to Rune.
Hey, check our remaining engine. I don't wanna use it if there's a problem with it. [/color][/center][/sub] |

Rune was pleased as all the lights came on, he looked over the remaining engine like Yumi requested. Though he knew even if it was damaged, that it was one engine or no engines right now. Rune quickly left the engine room proceeding back through the cabin to the cockpit, where he pushed Yumi aside to take hold of the controls. He flipped a switch that raised the landing gear and brought back the wind flaps, he leveled her off best he could. "The other engine is going to have to work until we can make it to a civilized system."Rune said. Rune slowly brought the ship up toward the clouds and into the atmosphere all the way through to space, checking their coordinates. He sent out another distress call to the Omega Base of Operations, ((Forebearer requesting immediate help. Akira is badly wounded. Our ship lost its hyperdrive, and Yumi is getting on my nerves. Get us outta here. Were located just above the Dagobah system. Waiting for confirmation, over and out.)) Rune said over the radio. He rested back in the chair he was sitting in, taking a deep breath. "That was fun, huh Yumi?"Rune said sarcastically.
