After the Battle of Ryloth
Asminys clung onto the straps of his lifepod seat as the ship rocketed away from the plummeting Star Destroyer. He knew it had been a bad idea to go along, though the experience of fighting a Jedi for the first time had probably been worth it. He had had little time to meditate on the subject though as the frantic dash through the service corridors of the falling battleship had turned out just great. Evidenced by his current situation, plummeting towards the surface of a world full of unknowns.
Debris pinged off the thick skinned escape pod. The view of the jungle below rattled in Asminys view as the pod's piloting computer tried to correct course. The ship stabilized and the view of a large band of rainforest flanking a river expanded in the viewport. So far so good, Asminys relaxed his grip on the safety straps.
BANG! The rear roof of the pod dented suddenly inwards and the pod was sent twirling. Angry alarms rang through the small space of the pod as it spun and flipped through the air, as if they needed a sound to tell them they were in dire straits. Panic blossomed in Asminys chest, a natural reaction to the situation. A human reaction.
But Asminys was a Sith. He did not submit to nature or fear. He reached within himself and clung to his fear, embracing it, fanning it to new heights.
The ground grew closer and closer with each flip.
He had to time it just right.
His mind raced in the background, a spinning mess as he counted the seconds, full of fear.
He seized it.
Panic was a life raft of an emotion.
Sweat poured from his brow as he closed his eyes and thrust his fear outward.
A solid wall of force around the pod.
KTCH-KRASH!
The shuttle tumbled through the treeline, bouncing off a massive trunk.
KRUCHHHKKK
It slammed into a tangle of gigantic roots.
Quiet.
With his head hangng Asminys breathed heavily. He was alive. A low chuckle escaped his throat. "Another happy landing." He laughed with a hoarse throat. He might have been yelling the whole way down.
