Ji'Nisa could only hear her pounding heartbeat as she settled back into the pilot's seat which still smelled of the Imp. She made a mental note to fix that soon, but for now...<br/><br/>She reached for the hyperspace engine control and gripped the smooth metal handle with the delicacy of someone caressing a long-lost lover. She said nothing as her eyes moved to the viewport and the stars beyond.<br/><br/>She exhaled, inhaled again, then said, "good riddance to Imperial scum," and pulled the lever back slowly, humming an adventurous-sounding tune she'd heard... somewhere.<br/><br/>The hyperspace engines whined as power fed to them. A whine became a shriek, became a rumble and then a low subsonic vibration as the drive reached full power. Starlines formed outside and with a muffled *boom* and a flash of light, normal space itself was left behind, replaced by the shimmering blue glow of hyperspace.<br/><br/>The Imp was gone at last.<br/><br/>She leaned back in her chair and wept again, the tears streaming down her face.
