Arias muttered.Jorran cringed at the mental image of his ship being pummeled into oblivion by the vicious gauntlet of asteroids.  His hyperdrive was out there all right....in many many tiny pieces.***"Back so soon?" Aasan asked Kia as she descended the ramp of the Dawnsprinter with a rather glum look about her. "You didn't find the hyperdrive, did you?""If by hyperdrive you mean scattered particles of powdered hyperspace engine, then yes, quite."  She replied, taking a seat on the edge of the ramp."So what do we do now?"  Nakima asked.  "If Jorran's drive is dust, and the old transport's drive might as well be a lump of avipahine, we have no hyperdrive."Jorran sighed, shuffling his way down the ramp. "We wait, and hope someone picks up the signal from that distress beacon."***Later that evening the distressed group was gathered inside the Sethi hut, wondering what to do.  Arias was off in a far corner with Miera, discussing some private matter, likely the fate of the village.  Jorran leaned against the wall opposite the entrance, a discussion about the state of the Galaxy with Aasan having turned to a remeniscing about the good old days of the Republic.  Kia was pacing back and forth trying to figure out how to get her ship hyperdrive-capable, while ignoring Kal, who was practicing his lightsaber forms nearby, probably in an attempt to catch her eye.  Adrial however, was not present.  She had been fascinated by the workings of Kia's ship, and insisted upon spending as much time as possible looking at all the neat gadgets and readouts.  Kia had allowed her to do so on the condition that she keep an eye on the long range radar in case anyone had picked up their distress signal and managed to make the hyperspace jump into the system.The chatting when on for a while, and was interrupted when Adrial burst into the hut yelling something about the radar screen she was watching being suddenly filled with little blue dots.</blockquote>
