Waiting to arive... and waiting.... and waiting...

Space travel fact number one: hyperspace is slower than a hutt crawling a marathon. Fact number two: that means it is BORING!

I turned on my holonet reciever and watched a episode of Star Trek. Kirk kissed an alien lady. Big surprise there.
I took a nap, played all of Halo 78, and got attacked by pirates. Yep, space pirates.

They tried to shoot me with ion cannons. They succeeded. I let them. I wanted to finish my computer game.

A voice from my computer sounded, "Abandon ship! Abandon ship!"

I turned my submarine game off, and picked up my blaster.

The pirates boarded me and tried to take over. This time they didn't succeed. They were the most strangely dressed pirates that I have ever seen.

The captain said in a fake British accent, "Surrender, and I will spare you."

I shot him. My gun was set on stun. His crew members beat a hasty strategic withdrawal. One of them shouted, "You haven't seen the last of us!" I hope so. They helped me pass the time very well.

I looked at my computer screen. I was there. Nar Shadda, here I come!
