Lily nodded, frantically moving to toward that center, where she looked down at her ghostly hands for a moment. She had yet to try to use any real magic or try even to touch material things other than Force users and she normally passed through things but…
Gathering her will for a moment, Lily reached forward, trying to will her hands to become physical, to visualize them touching the controls. It didn't work. They simply passed through the controls, and she growled in frustration. Closing her eyes again, she pulled her hands out of the controls, then gathered herself and gestured forward with one hand.
"Move!" She screamed, forcing all of her will into it, visualizing the controls moving as if struck by a charm spell.
She felt the magic leave her for a moment and Lily gasped, shuddering in pain. But the spell worked, and suddenly on the screen in front of her a dim blue line appeared around the port side of the ship.
OOOOOOO
Micah finished blasting away at the boarding ramp as the Consular class ship came close, using its tiny tractor beam to pull the other ship away as the Jedi aboard the Explorer pushed at it from the other direction. Just then Micah's systems told him that some of the shields aboard the Explorer had come up, and Micah slammed his communicator button again. "Brandon don't bother with the pirate vessel, let the Jedi aboard the ship keep pushing it away. Instead use your tractor beam to rotate the Explorer!"
He needn't have bothered giving that order aloud, because the moment that thought had hit his head, the Jedi aboard the Consular class ship had been aware of it as fused with the other Jedi in this battle as they were thanks to Master Yoda's presence. Very few Jedi Masters could have created or held that gestalt, but three of those few were here, and their presence was uplifting to say the least.
The Consular class ship backed away from the pirate vessel, moving downwards and away, it's tractor beam flicking out to grab at a specific area of the training vessel, where the ship's large engines merged into the rest of the hull pulling it around so that it's shields faced the pirate ship. The larger Explorer turned slowly under the other ship's power, but turn it did.
Seconds stretched on as Micah watched, then the pirate ship exploded , and Micah quickly pushed power to his engines, racing away from the explosion. Despite his quick reaction his ship was still thrown end over end through space for a few moments before he could right it. But their efforts had gained enough space between the second pirate ship and the Explorer.
That space plus the shields protected it from this second, far closer explosion. The ship rocked noticeably, and the shields went down, but the training vessel was still in one piece.
Micah allowed himself a brief moment to thank the Force before smiling slightly and opening his communicator. "Well done Captain, very well done indeed! Now let's bring our ships into the hanger bay, I have a feeling that we'll probably be needed aboard the Explorer, if only to help repair the damage."
"Roger that Master Giiett," said the young knight on the screen, shaking his head. "That was a little too close for my tastes."
"For me too my young friend, for me too."
OOOOOOO
Lily continued to shudder in agony, her hands in pain her mind throbbing as she slowly drifted through the air of the engine room, her ethereal body spasming from the exertion she'd just put it through. Looking down at her hands, she noticed that they were noticeably more translucent now, and she sighed faintly. I hope this isn't a permanent thing. I really don't want to see how Harry would react to the idea of me fading away like this. Still, it worked.
With that she moved over to the Jedi Master, who had slumped against one of the walls of the engine room, and she frowned. She could still see his chest moving slightly, but it was obvious he was in a bad way. Sighing, she moved through the ship once more towards where she knew the children and the Jedi who had arrived to help them were.
Moving through one of the walls she said without preamble, "There is another Jedi badly injured in the engine room. There was a fight there, and one of the knight's bodies is there as well. Is the danger over now?"
Yoda looked up from where he was coming out of his trance, while nearby Quinlan sank to his knees, gasping lightly from the mental exertion. Fay didn't even seem as if it had bothered her at all, coming out of her trance quickly before effortlessly soothing the children all around her, gathering up those who had exhausted themselves making them hover in the air above her even as she took the ones that Yoda had been caring for.
"Danger past it is for now, reasoning behind it, a question for another time." Yoda replied, not noticing at first how much dimmer Lily looked now, gesturing to Quinlan. "Move ahead to the medical center you will, gather what you can for the Master in the engineering room."
"He looked as if he had a concussion, a damage to the brain," Lily he said, not having run into the word 'concussion' in Basic yet and having just used the English word for it. "He also looked as if he was having trouble breathing, and he had some damage to his mask."
Without even questioning it Quinlan nodded seriously at her, bowed formally to the two Masters, and raced off as quickly as he could through the hallways.
The few conscious children had by this point recovered from their second scare of the day, and more than one of them looked at Lily in horror. One of them even raced over to her, trying to grab at her, his hands passing through her lower legs. "Are you all right Mistress Lily!?"
