[It's a scowling teenager on your screen, sitting crosslegged on a cot.]

Hey. So. It sounds like I've been kidnapped to participate in some crazy holo-show with a bunch of other people who've been kidnapped. I guess that's not evil, but it's still really annoying.

I'd make a stink about getting out of here once I find out where those jerks hid my lightsaber, but I've got a feeling that's not going to help much. So... hi. I'm Vima Sunrider. Are there any other Jedi around here?

[action]

[Vima is exploring before and after she makes that transmission... checking out the weird exercise equipment, looking at the big transmission screens, poking her head into the cafeteria, and mostly looking for other people.

You might also find her staring out of the bay windows, wondering just where in the Galaxy she is.]

Yeah, since every planet has a different length of days, and time it orbits around its sun... some planets have a day as long as their year. So having a galactic standard is the only way to keep things organized.

[hearsthesea]

Hm...that makes sense, although it's never been brought up by the Atroma before. In any case, much of the goals we have to do is left a mystery. I suppose they think it's more entertaining to see us confused.

[tobeajedi]

It probably doesn't matter as much when we're confined to one area. [She scowls.] I bet you're right, though, about keeping us confused. That's probably why they have these transmitters already broadcasting when we wake up.

[hearsthesea]

It is effective if they like watching us like that. I remember when I was taken here, I was on a new ship within a matter of hours. It was disorienting, to say the least.

[tobeajedi]

That fast? [She looks around, as if expecting to see droids to forcibly escort her on the way.] What was the new ship like?

[hearsthesea]

It was the one I live on now, the Huntress. I'd never seen anything like it before and I didn't entirely understand everything that was going on, so I remember feeling overwhelmed more than anything.

[tobeajedi]

Sounds like I'm lucky, already being used to space travel. [Huntress is an awfully martial name.] Even with that, this is a lot to get used to... so how many ships are there hanging around?

[hearsthesea]

I've never counted, actually, although it must be somewhere over a dozen. Sometimes new ones come in, but I don't think it's happened for at least a month.

[tobeajedi]

And they just all hang around this big one, being... entertaining to people in different star systems?

[hearsthesea]

Yes, it's been like that all the time I've been here. I don't think things are likely to change soon, either.

[tobeajedi]

So how long has that been--or is there even a way to keep track?

[Day/night cycles? Measuring by sleep?]

[hearsthesea]

It's been over five months now, by my own understanding. Many others seem to keep to abide by a similar system of time...

[Curious, now that she thinks about it.]

[tobeajedi]

That's a weird coincidence... maybe Atroma picks out people who all have the same general standards?

[hearsthesea]

Maybe. I don't know why they'd do something like that, but it's hard to understand how they decide anything at all.
