ANH. Bespin Station. Return of the Jedi?

[random_xtras]

The speeding X-wing had just entered the system and was swooping through space.

Inside the cockpit, it was noisy.

"Yeah, Random." A grim-faced Hot Shot cut across the chatter of excited Minicons and a very anxious Astrotech. "I'm sure Kia's with 'em. So just circulate already. 'N stop talking about your insides squirming, you're kinda creeping me out here."

All three of the Starsaber Minicons turned their attention to the pilot, the volume of their beeping rising drastically.

"Just hold on," said Hot Shot with resigned patience. "We'll be there soon."

Then he blinked as he caught the barest hint of a communication that shut all three of his small friends up instantly. "...And nobody better ask me what that was, because I don't know."

Random wilts at the pout and starts to feel like a real jerk for doubting to begin with until the second Minicons comes.

Said Minicon's words drive away most of the remainder of Random's doubts. That sounded too much like her to be a deception. Getting a grip on himself, he says, firmly, "Lead the way."

Both little bots beep and trill, and then they wave good bye to Hot Shot, who cracks a wan grin.

"Take care, Randy," says the yellow Jedi quietly as the Minicons dive into the service entrance.

Random starts to follow when he hesitates at at the entrance. He turns back, mouth opening and closing as if he wants to say something. Finally, he manages to say, "Good luck." He starts to turn back in before mustering up the courage to say, "And, um, may Primus be with you." He thinks that's how it's supposed to go.

"Thanks, buddy," comes the quiet, absent, but warm reply. "You take care. Tell Kia 'hi' for me."

Random nods, trying to convince himself that it really is going to be fine. "Will do. . . . Later. " And then Random disappears into the service corridor.
