Despite his anger, Bocri was instantly aware of the pain that he has caused Hirani. He felt shame and regret at once, he should have warned her and at least spared her that sudden trauma he had just inflicted on her. On another day he might have drawn her into a hug but now was not the time, there would be a moment later when they had escaped in which they could sort out emotion.

He offered her an apologetic smile and then tapped on the console in front of him. A number of Clone fighters were still out there, so far none of them seemed very interested in the ship as they were formed up some distance off the bow. There was really only one option left as far as Bocri could see it.

He couldn’t operate the turbolaser batteries, not in any efficient manner anyway. Jedi were skilled at many things, but operating technology over a distance was not one of them. The pilots were too far away for any sort of mind control, which only Hirani could manage anyway.

“We crash the ship into the planet.” He said quietly. “Set it on a collision course and then, as we get close to the surface, launch all the escape pods, with us in one of them. I’ll call a mayday shortly and do my best to fake some sort of emergency to throw off the pilots out there, though I suspect that they will see the others floating in space when they come closer and likely think it’s real.”

He paused and glanced at Hirani. “Does that suit you?”
