[She laughs a little.]

A Jedi isn't exactly anything... we're knights, basically. Traveling the galaxy, helping people who are in need of it.

[brokencopy]

Knights in space? You must feel right at home here, then.

[tobeajedi]

With the space part, yeah. Is this all new for you?

[It's tempting to lie, to make a ridiculous claim that he's all too familiar with space. But it would be a flimsy lie at best, easily shredded.]

Yes. This is my first time in space.

[tobeajedi]

Apart from the bit about being kidnapped so your personal life can entertain a bunch of bored strangers on other planets, what do you think of it?

[brokencopy]

It's ...

[That's a good question. B hasn't put much thought to being in space, except for the fact that he's been taken away from completing his master puzzle and proving once and for all that he is better than L. The nature of space itself hasn't even crossed his radar.]

It's quite expansive.

[Which feels like a stupid thing to say; B regrets it almost immediately after the words leave his mouth.]

I never imagined I would see this in my lifetime.

[tobeajedi]

[Wow, that much... of course, Vima's met a lot of people, by this point, who have never traveled in space before now.]

It is. Honestly, even after you've spent your life in ships, sometimes it'll catch you off-guard... especially when you're going through deep space.

[Mostly that is a consequence of the Force, for Vima--being alone in a sea of nothing brings it home to her.]

Do you like it?

[He hates it here.]

I would rather have been left when and where I was. I was taken from some rather important work.

[tobeajedi]

Yeah, most of us would say the same, I think. [Maybe a few people in unfortunate circumstances, less so.] What kind of work was it?

[brokencopy]

I'm a detective. I was quite close to solving a serial murder case.

[Which is half true; the murders were committed by him.]

Now I suppose I will never know who was behind it.

[Which is a complete lie.]
