After class, Cady collapses onto her bed with her head next to the stuffed bantha. A second later she leaps upright at a knock on the door and quickly shoves the stuffed bantha under her blanket.
Deline is in the hallway with her birthday rifle on her back and a crate in her arms.
"What's that?"
"You'll find out!" Deline giggles and turns away and looks back at Cady. "Come on!"
<span class="mu-i">
This seems extremely ominous!
</span>
Deline marches through Calor, oblivious to the stares of the residents as they turn to look at the blaster rifle on her back. Past the edge of the spaceport, the ground slopes downward into swampy woodland. Above the trees, the partially-dismantled hulls of old spaceships litter the landscape all the way to the horizon.
<span class="mu-i">
Even though this is just a junkyard, it's still an amazing sight!
</span>
Deline drops the crate and unseals it. Cady leans over as the other girl kneels on the ground assembling a long cylindrical object. "I thought it would be fun to use this blaster rifle since you're here!" She clicks the barrel into place and hops up, grinning at Cady as she holds it out. "We can take turns shooting!"
<span class="mu-i">
I'm pretty sure that's a blaster cannon!
</span>
Cady stops and looks around at the scrap fields again.
<span class="mu-i">
Isn't this the location for the blaster minigame in L+L? The target-shooting scene is designed to help the player learn how L+L's blaster controls function but it's just a simple time-attack contest against an unseen NPC opponent. Does that mean I can use Force Sense like I did in the sabacc game last night and automatically win? On the other hand, there's no way I can beat Deline if it comes down to who has more Force points.
</span>
Cady glances at Deline's nametag.
<span class="mu-i">
Did she seriously use 45 Force points during lightsaber practice?! She's way too competitive!
</span>
(Cady didn't use any Force points during lightsaber practice.)
<span class="mu-i">
But that means we're almost even now! I might even be able to win if I can use my Force Sense cheat!
</span>
Cady looks down at the blaster rifle and back at Deline's smiling face.
<span class="mu-i">
Is she going to kill me if I win?
</span>
>I bet I can hit more targets!
>How do you shoot this?
>Maybe I'll just watch...
