When: 1/11.

[ A woman's voice, British-accented, commanding, level, says, ]

I am Nyssa, daughter of Ra's al Ghul. I intend to exact justice from our captors, these — Atroma. We are not playthings, and we will not be caged forever.

I will be indebted to those who fight beside me. [ a beat ] If you intend to stop me, your defeat is not only likely, it is inevitable.

[ and the audio clicks off, but a few seconds later on again, ]

If anyone knows how to remove these implants, I would be doubly grateful.



[ Nyssa is prowling about the ship, peering into empty or unlocked rooms, in the common areas. There must be something here she can appropriate as a weapon. Her bow isn't enough. ]





[ When she finds nothing, she returns to the gym, and can be found in her League uniform (sans weapons), either meditating or going through sword kata. ]

Comments

[sinuosity]

[ She bows as well, right hand closed into a fist, covered by the left. And she eyes the telekinetic display with some wariness, more curiosity. Ahsoka is from a galaxy far far away. ]

I have never seen that before. What did you do?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka takes a drink before answering.]

Oh-- I manipulated the Force.

[And before she asks, because she knows this is going to be the next question:] The Force is the energy that's all around us. Everywhere you go-- it's the energy that's flowing through the universe. Through you and through me, binding us all together.

[sinuosity]

I see. This is something you're born with, or you learn?

[resnipstance]

Both. You have to be born with a certain sensitivity to the Force. But without the proper training, even those who are born strong in the Force wouldn't be able to use it properly.

[sinuosity]

Again, the world is far bigger than I imagined.

[resnipstance]

It could just be that it's too early for your world... I mean, my galaxy is an old one, compared to the others I've heard represented here. It was thousands of years before the people in my galaxy learned they could manipulate the Force. Even if Force sensitives are being born, without someone to train them, it would be meaningless.

[sinuosity]

That is possible. We do not yet have space travel, let alone knowledge of extraterrestrial life.

[resnipstance]

Hmmm. What about empaths? People who seem to intuitively know what emotion others around them are feeling, beyond what seems normal? Or... people who can accurately predict the future, or seem to know instantly when someone close to them has died?

[sinuosity]

[ She hums. ]

There are rumors of a man that can run faster than the speed of sound, or control the weather... it's not impossible clairvoyants are among them.

[resnipstance]

Huh.

Sounds like applications of the Force to me.

[sinuosity]

We will see.

Do you wish to spar regularly? I confess I'm not certain what to do with my time here.

[resnipstance]

... It would be an honour, Nyssa.

[And she means it.

But also, she has so much restless energy these days to burn off she doesn't know what to do with it all. So. There's that, too.]

[sinuosity]

[ She smiles and there is nothing wicked or sharp about it, just sincere. ]

Then, at this time, tomorrow?

[resnipstance]

You got yourself a date.
