Mini Nano, Day 23

Obi-Wan, five years after The Phantom Menace, about to have an unplanned adventure:
Obi-Wan uses the worst of the invectives he'd learned on his missions on the Outer Rim as he pushes the small freighter he's stolen - he hopes the Order can reimburse the pilot for the loss, but he hadn't had time to procure paid transport if he wanted to survive the mission - to its limits. The navicomp is shot, and he doesn't have time to make the calculations for a hyperspace jump manually. Breathing out a prayer to the Force, he inputs jump perimeters by instinct, and engages the hyperdrive. The ship shudders under another blast of laser-canon fire as the stars blur and elongate in the moment of transition.
Sitting back in the pilot's chair, he lets out a small sigh, though there's little relief to be had. Hyperspace may be safe, but he doesn't know if where he'll come out will be, or how well the ship will survive returning to normal space, after that last hit. It had already been in poor shape beforehand.
At least he hadn't needed to worry about anyone else being put in danger by his rather precipitous departure from the planet. No matter what discussion he'd heard around the Temple at his last visit. Five years a Knight, and everyone's beginning to ask when he plans to take his first Padawan, and never mind that he is usually given missions that aren't at all safe for a youngling - nor intends to give those missions up. No, better he doesn't have one.
Letting out a sigh, Obi-Wan looks over the controls, making sure they wouldn't drop out of hyperspace unless the ship is dragged out by a gravity well, before he goes to check the damage he can assess now. He hopes the thing holds together long enough to get him not only to wherever he's jumping blind, but to get back to Coruscant. The mission is riding on the edge of a knife, and he really doesn't want to see what happens if he fails.
(What he does not know at this point is some very powerful and ancient Force-users are watching him, and plotting having another helper. Mahal is gleefully plotting to sabotage Obi-Wan's ship. And then, adventures in Middle Earth time. *grins, and rubs hands together*
Also, Qui-Gon lives. He is training Anakin. Obi-Wan is still a bit uncomfortable with the abrupt end to his apprenticeship, but not terribly upset at Qui-Gon anymore.)
