Gauntlet rejoined Logar as he left the briefing room. "Code: H2O," Logar said, and a bottle of chilled water popped out of one of Gauntlet's hatches. Logar grabbed it and began chugging it down as he ran.
Without pause, he dropped the empty bottle in a garbage chute as he entered the hanger, and ran over to his black skyhopper with blue trim, just in time to hear Kefka's question, which stopped him in his tracks.
"Um, I don't know. Maybe we should trade off. Who's the best at stealth flying? He should take point for the first leg."

Kefka stiffened a chuckle
"Er..stealth isn't my forte...Jarik, you wanna give it a go?"

((I guess maintaining perfect stealth formation would fall under atmospheric maneuvering - Logar's best at that.))
"I'll do it. We need to motor," Logar said, running through his start-up checklist as fast as he could and bringing his engines online. "Skyhopper One has two lit and in the green."

"Skyhopper one...thats way too long. You'll be...Skipper, I guess I'll be psycho, and whatshisname, Jarik can be...drowzy.."
Kefka, hit the repulsor, and pulled out of the hangar
"Psycho is green."

"Drowzy?! why the hell am I drowzy?!" Jarik asked annoyed. "At anyrate, Hopper three's green." Jarik thumbed his repuslor up and nosed his hopper into the sky."Drowsy no one is afraid of somone whos callsign is drowsy." he muttered to himself. he switched back to his com as the fighters flew "I'll take the rear. Psycho can sit middle. Don't worry boys. this won't be hard. just a little game of follow the leader."

"You're the one that wouldnt wake up this morning" kefka muttered into the comm.
He flicked it off, and shut down the active sensors, and manually set the passive sensors. Since real stealth would require silence, Kefka reccomended a comm silence to Logar, and then threw 60% of his power to the muffler.

((One thing: Passive sensors are not really sensors at all... In fact, passive sensors usually mean that you are going only on sight (or hearing for sonar) and whatever reflects sound/light back naturally. In case you were wondering what I meant by it.))
Orrin had reached the sensor room, where he had a large screen, with three green triangles heading along the path. He watched, and had com standby for any message relay necessary.
"Techincally, you will be silent. However, since this isn't real life, I will interrupt and nag you, especially in the unstealthed parts. Skyhopper One, continue on this course, and make sure you are at 50% throttle. That is recommended, though you may go to 65%. There will be some sharp turns, and past 65% you may be going too fast and the boom will count against your score. You may also want to tell Deuce and Trio to turn off sensors. Since you're leader, you're in command... Head at your current bearing until you reach sector Bravo Niner. Command, out."

"Acknowledged. Skipper, eh? I guess that makes me the captain of this voyage. ((Yeah, that was really cheesy.)) Ok, mates, comm silence, passive sensors, and 50% thrust from here on out, though none of that is strictly necessary until we reach Jabba's palace."
Goosing his engines, Logar increased thrust to just a hair over 50%, and settled into his flight path. Kefka and Jarik fell in behind him.

Kefka dialed down the throttle and slowed his thrust to 50%.
"oh boy, follow the leader."

Jarik slowed his thrust down 50% and followed up behind Kef. he casually glanced at the sky, looking for the Ruby squad pilots who would "shoot them down" if they got out of hand."Nerf herders. Figures that they would get the squad that hates us to watch this thing." he muttered to himself.

"No kidding...I wouldn't be surprised if they shot us down just for the hell of it.." Kef commed over, realizing just after he said it that there was a comm silence.

"Cut the chatter - even though you're right," Logar chuckled.

Kefka cutt the comm chatter, and flew stealthily, like he was a Nastarian Ninja Assasin. After a series of windy zig zags, the flight finally reached Jabba's palace.

((Anchorhead? We haven't even gotten to Jabba's palace yet.))
As Jabba's palace appeared in his forward viewport, Logar said, "All right, guys, this is it. Comm, sensor, and speed restrictions are in force from here on out. May the Force be with us." The pilots changed course for the stealth portion of their mission.

Kefka remained silent, the stealth was on. He changed his bearing to the Anchorhead waypoint, and continued.g
