Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva, Hospitality Deck
When: Current

[A woman in green looks down at the camera, red curls spilling over her face as she inspects it with a gentle, if somewhat unamused look in her eye. She got the briefing it seems, and she's not happy but shouting is only giving her captors what they want. Silent for a few moments, her head quirks to one side a fraction, a bit like a bird studying the ground.

Seeming to come to a conclusion, she nods to herself and finally speaks. Her tone is formal and polite, though there is an undercurrent of uncertainty. Would she be speaking to nobody?]

I understand I'm to be residing aboard this...fleet...and that these communication devices are how we connect with one another. And that means introductions.

[A breath as she seems to compose herself, pushing hair out of her eyes and smiling genially. Her moment of weakness and uncertainty was done.]

My name is Nomi Sunrider, currently of Coruscant. I believe I have an understanding of the basics of what happened, though I would appreciate information that our hosts have not provided. I'd also like to know more about you, whomever might be listening to this. There's little point in being whisked away to another...reality...[She grimaces around the words.] and not at least learning from the experience. [Best to be diplomatic, right?] A name, a favored story, anything. It'd be more worthwhile and significantly less maddening than this horrible canned music.

[Her eyes close, head swiveling slightly to the left as something catches her attention.]

And I feel a handful of individuals strong in the Force present here. I would appreciate it if you would contact me. [A deep, deep frown.] And tell me, why do I sense my daughter's presence?

Comments

[redactions]

You can do the paperwork after you've been assigned — should be in a few days.

[seaoflight]

Fair enough. Thank you for that. I'll do my best to be of service.

I'm told I have a Security augment, if that's any help?

[redactions]

We wouldn't say no to more security officers.

[seaoflight]

Fair. I've some experience in battle, though I seem to have been separated from my Lightsaber.

[redactions]

All of our weapons have been confiscated since we got here. Especially if they were made up of materials you can't get easily on the planets.

[seaoflight]

Yet, I can still feel the Force. That's enough.

Is there much need of them, though?

[redactions]

Not so far, and I've been here seven months.

[seaoflight]

Hopefully it stays that way. Otherwise I might request a different augment.

[redactions]

That's also possible, people do change theirs. I'm not certain of the process.

[seaoflight]

I apologize for all the questions. But, I'd rather annoy one person than be completely
caught off my guard.

What has Vima told you about the Jedi? [Not her specifically. But the people she works with.]

[redactions]

Not much — I haven't asked. I know they're peacekeepers and most of the people from the same world are around the time where a galaxy-wide war is going on.

[seaoflight]

Most. I gather that I'm from several millennia before that war. We...just finished our own.

Though peacekeepers and guardians is right enough. Monks might be the best analogy. I more or less wanted to know, though, are you comfortable with our use of the Force? I know some find us a little off putting.

[redactions]

I don't know much about it, to be honest with you.

[seaoflight]

No, I doubted that. But it doesn't disturb you, at least. That's good.

I'd be happy to explain it better, sometime, if you were honestly curious. But I didn't wish to come onto your ship and cause you disquiet.

[redactions]

I think we'd be able to work it out even if it did.

[ Nomi seems like an agreeable personality, and Jim himself has always been the diplomat between himself and Steve. ]

[seaoflight]

Then I look forward to meeting you in person in the near future.

[She is pretty agreeable. It takes a lot to put her off-kilter, and James seems a good bit more polite than...well...the vast majority of the people she deals with in a daily.]
