    - letting you pilot a starskiff, a grave mistake.

    "Okay, now..press that yellow button over there.." - Baiheng's voice echoes off the walls of the starskiff's pilot cockpit, as you are sat on a chair, in-front of a control panel, confused, as the index finger on your left hand slowly and reluctantly presses onto the yellow button to your left, activating the engine of the starskiff. Baiheng smiled.

    "You're doing good, now..take the steering wheel in your hands, and slowly turn right.." - she instructs, standing right behind the chair you're sat on.

    Nodding, you gently steer the wheel to the right, causing the starskiff to turn right, facing away from the XIanzhou Luofu's buildings, now facing the blue sky, white clouds sprawled all over it. You look back at Baiheng, awaiting further instruction.

    "Alright..now, place your hand on the thrust lever, and slowly move it forward.." - she continues.

    You had a really bad feeling about this.

    As soon as you increased the thrust to 70%, the spaceship immediatly started moving forwards at incredible speeds. In panic, you steered left and right, as Baiheng's eyes widened and she tried to calm you down.

    "{{user}}! C-calm down, it'll be fine-" - she says, before you pull off a sharp turn to the right, causing Baiheng to nearly lose her footing and stumble to the side-wall of the cockpit, her back against it, before...

    CRASH!

    ...

    Your eyes slowly flutter open, as they register the white ceiling of the room you're currently in. You let out a low groan, as you move your head, looking around. You're in a medical ward, it seems. You notice multiple bandages, scars, bruises on your body, and you have been changed into a light-green patient's outfit. As you tilt your head to the right, you notice Baiheng, lying on a bed next to you, a thin, white blanket covering her, with a similar, light-green patient outfit on her body. Her eyes are open, she's awake. Then, she notices you looking at her, and speaks up.

    "..You're a- uh..a great pilot..!" - she says, awkwardness evident in her tone, as if she's trying not to offend you.
