Who: Vima and OPEN
Broadcast: n/a
Action: The Iskaulit
When: August 20th

[Vima is venturing on to the Iskaulit for the first time. It's been there for as long as she's been in the Fleet, but she's avoided it except when someone else on her ship has wanted to plot a course there.

Now she's taking a step inside. She still wonders if she ought to, but so many other people didn't have the luxury of keeping away. And if she's a Jedi, she can't hide from it because she's scared of how it feels.

But how it feels is horrible. The agony and the hostility and the death still coats the inside like a noxious film, thicker in some places than in others. She's not looking at all like her usual, upbeat self as she makes her way around. The idea of people using this place for recreation seems to her like putting a cantina in a graveyard.]

Yeah. Being kinda cramped feels a lot better than setting up shop in a tomb. Just because it's over doesn't mean we ought to act like it didn't happen, or it wasn't important.

[Simon nodded.]

I have to admit I am conflicted- I came here to look at possible locations for a medical clinic. My job is to give my patients care, and having more room to do that would be a big help to me and the other medics. Giving people whose ships don't have medbays a place to go would help me rest a little more easily. But of course, there are the moral concerns we just discussed. There are no easy answers.

[tobeajedi]

For what it's worth, I think the medical clinic is a really good idea. It would... [make up? wrong phrase, seems a little pat.] It would start tipping the balance back if there was a place of healing here.

[pompous_today]

That's a good point. Restoring life, to make the place feel more alive again. Paying back something for the lives that were lost here...

[tobeajedi]

Yeah, exactly. It would put good back. [She brushes her fingers over a wall. Way better than sticking shops and cantinas, like they just dumped it carelessly.

[pompous_today]

Indeed. ... Again, I can understand the urge, while still disagreeing that it's necessary. But then, I wouldn't have much use for a bar or a shop. And perhaps the others think of it as a new beginning, or it doesn't enter into their heads that making use of this space for those things could be seen as disrespectful. It is a good way for us to all cooperate on something.
