They were already boarding when the First Order ships were descending, and Ben swore, picking up the pace and all but hauling her aboard, lowering her into the copilot's seat and dropping into the pilot's seat himself, "Strap in."
He opened a channel to Maz even though they were still in her back yard, warning her about the ships, because while watering holes like hers were technically neutral ground, the First Order would find any reason to tear the place apart, and he was planning to make good on an escape while he still could.
He hadn't taken into account that they would have left a squad of ships in low-atmosphere to keep anyone from leaving the planet. He grit his teeth at the first warning shot across the shuttle's nose, shaking his head as his fingers danced over the controls, "Hold onto something, we'll have to outrun them, get to the night side of the planet and calculate our first jump from there."
