Kaili Talith
Forgotten, not gone.

Oh boy. So that jump didn’t go quite as planned. In fact it had gone in the exact opposite of ‘as planned’ and everything that ‘as planned’ would entail. The Odessa was a ship built by Kaili, she knew every single nook and cranny of this ship, she had to she was the one who had designed it. Yet even then she had managed to screw something up. The ship spun around while the tunnel vision of the outside seemed to smear against all edges of the ship. It was like being caught in a stream down a rocky river. The ship shook and shivered and every now and then it seemed to jack one way and then the other as if it was hitting not just the one but the several obstacles at once.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. Kaili was the exception to the Talith’s curse, her father had made her a trinket to keep it at bay. She was fine as long as she kept it around her wrist.
Eyes went wide, a hand grasped at said wrist.
“Oh no.” The girl muttered as she unbuckled herself from the pilot’s seat. “No, no, no, no, no!”
With unsteady steps she rushed from the cockpit towards her bedroom. The stabilizers within her ship was working overtime and it could be felt in the way it attempted to pry breakfast from her stomach, but the girl fought against it. On the way she passed her passenger, [member="Jamie Pyne"] who she had only ever met once before when Micah pinned her to a wall, and now here they were working together to bring, well, whatever it was.
Truth be told Kaili did not have the time to think on it all that much in that particular moment.
“Nothing to worry about, I assure you.” She tried to play the obvious mishap off as something else. “Just the hyperlanes trying to seize our destinies, but we can overcome this. No- nothing bad is going to happen, I assure you. Again.”
Of course, deep down the blonde haired little girl was panicking but she couldn’t let that show. Not before Aela’s apprentice, no siree. She took her seat by the controls again and slipped the trinket onto her wrist and hovered above the biggest reddest button on her control panel. Emergency FTL dropout. This could only go two ways.
“Force save us.” Kaili whispered under her breath as she took a deep breath and smashed the button with her fist. The ship gave off one last yank that tossed Kaili to the ground before it stabilized itself. Outside the viewport was a great big green orb consisting of grasslands, mountains, lakes. Not that Kaili would see it. She remained on the ground coping with her panic anxiety and the flashbacks.
The last time she had forgotten, or rather the last time she hadn’t been in possession of the trinket on her wrist people had died. She was just glad that today did not end like that day had. Or her life for that matter.
But for now she would remain on the floor for a bit. Just to still her nerves.
They were safe. For the moment at least.
