Hope is but the first step on the road to disappointment

After several attempts to find the least amount of time to prevent the missile Jar Jar ran into another set of problems, namely how the shields got fixed. Even with a few examples of that happening the fix somehow caused the hyperdrive to conk out before engaging. Once Jar Jar thought he was close, but an unexpected fire broke out and caused the ship to drop out of hyper in the middle of deep space, the smoke and fire from the damage too much for the environmental systems, and no one picked them up in time.

Sulking one reset in the back Binks just stood in front of one of the astrodroids standby cradles in a funk when the ship started to take damage. The gungan barely managed to keep his balance between the shaking of the ship and being bumped by the droid, in a moment of childishness Binks stuck his tongue out at the droid and then let it go, knowing that the droid would likely get hit by the blockades fire.

A few moments later Binks was surprised when the ship jumped to hyper and stayed there, though a few moments later he learned that even though the droid saved the ship, something happened to the drive, and fuel was being used up at a tremendous rate. Jar Jar could not remember if that happened the first time though, but they were beyond the blockade, and new vistas awaited, all in all Binks was starting to feel good about this.
