Etty watched the meteor through the viewscreen above the pilot interface. Her heart beat fast. If she crashed and didn't die she'd be kicked out of the Academy not only for destroying their property, but for stealing it in the first place. If Thomas were here she knew he'd tell her that when she stole it she was sure she'd be able to fly it so she'd better be able to fly it. He was annoying, but if she wanted to spend time with Didi she needed to spend time with him. And the things he said were generally true.

She sighed silently, barely a breath escaping (though she knew her professors would say that was still too much for what she was going to do if she managed to graduate-even a silent breath can be felt), and, barely lifting her eyes from the viewscreen she moved the ship away from contact with the meteor.
