Broadcast: Fleet
Action: The Vanquish if you want
When: 10 Feb

Dear Atrama, Can we please visit a planet with beaches next? I keep meeting people who haven't seen one and that's terrible. It's actually a crime where I come from. Please don't let anyone get arrested. I believe in you. Also if you take requests can I have my cat please. And some chalk and I was meant to have a sword I think I could be wrong. It's a short silver gold magical IT'S A LIGHTSABER A RED ONE Either that or just give me Mihawks.

[GO BIG OR GO HOME]

Please thank you love Dorothy.

[This has been a totally efficient use of your communicator, Katie, gj.]

Oh, two Sith Lords, and you're still alive! Most impressive, little one.

[ He smiles, kindly. ]

Red lightsabers are made from this special kind of crystal. And I'll tell you what, if I ever run across one, I'll make you a lightsaber personally.

[ It's going to be a glowstick, isn't it? Yes, yes it is ]

I don't know. You'd have to ask one of the Jedi. Try Obi-Wan.

I don't know. Are you?

[Well, this is a much better line than the parade of adults telling her she shouldn't have a sword. She grins widely, all teeth.]

Of course I am. The most terrible kind of person, really.

I don't mind being out in the cold.

Uh huh. Well, don't kill anyone we'll miss, but people'll live through losing a hand or foot if you need to.

[Pretty sure it's the oceans that have the sharks kiddo] Mikleo would probably love to see an ocean.

But yeah, gimme a picture so I get the right thing. I'm gonna go shopping today anyhow, I can grab it while I'm out.

[I can't answer you and investigate this button at the same time, Kirito. Though once she flips over and sees just symbols she frowns where is the face symbol gosh

Oh wait she has to make it doesn't she

Oh hmm you asked a question hold on]

:"}*(

[...wait switch over again first--]

There was a blizzard and it all froze!

[That has to be horrid, knowing things are going to go all wrong and not being able to stop it. Well, he might--]

Do you think knowing more means you could fix things? [She loves the movies, but real people are real people. This isn't the first time she's met supposed works of fiction. (Though meeting a Thundercat was far less sad.)]

I don't know.

[ He rubs his beard, mulling it over. ] I don't know if there's a reason that I learned the truth. The Force tends to work in mysterious ways and I'm not one to presume.

I do know that I have learned from it. And perhaps, learning from it will pave the way to a better future.

It would be nice if you all got to live much happier lives, wouldn't it? [She phrases many things as a question, really, which is really just skirting by the whole truth-telling thing.]

You could tell Anakin when you go home! I bet he wouldn't turn to the dark side if he wasn't taken by surprise.

[Because that's totally how it works. She also has no clue she's already talking to Anakin, whoops.]

It would be nice.

[ But not particularly believable. Even without the war, Jedi lives are often tied with life and death. Tragedies are not common, but also not unexpected. ]

Do you think that's how it happened?

[ Or were the seeds simply there and Obi-Wan was too blind to notice. ]

I see it a little differently. My love is many things, and it takes many forms. But I don't think it has ever saved a life.

[She doesn't know how Anakin turned. All she has to go on is the line by a ghostly Jedi about how he technically wasn't lying when he said Darth Vader murdered Luke's father (good going, Obi-Wan, pooka everywhere would be proud).

So the question makes her bite her lip, chewing that over for a moment, until he distracts her entirely with that last part. No. Love is very important.]

Do you think so? There's a lot of different ways to save a life. What if nobody ever had any of your love at all?

[A little heavier topic than your average small child.]

good try! make some faces :D

a blizzard in the station??

[SHE'LL TAKE IT.]

Really? [You're way better than Kirito, mystery person.] But is it true only Sith Lords use them? That seems rather unfair to the poor colour. I won't turn into a Sith Lord if I have one, will I?

I'm asking him right now! [Well, no. They kind of got distracted talking about love and Anakin. But SHE WILL.]

You're not a Jedi, then? Are you a rebel?

[Oh that's an easier face!]

:D :D :D :) :(? Rogue said all our money was frozen so I guess that's what happened. [Clay did actually, but you know. Liar liar.]

Just because you don't mind doesn't mean you should!! You could catch cold! [Look at me lecturing a grown ass man.]

You're going out for fun, so you should be comfy!

Cutting hands off makes people more powerful anyway.

[ It's still so strange to Hera, having the rebellion talked about so openly by strangers. So publicly, for anyone to see or hear. And yet, nothing has come of her admission to others. The Empire really doesn't seem to reach to whatever galaxy this happens to be. ]

I'm a squadron leader in the rebel alliance, yes. Not a Jedi.

You're a pilot!! Have you ever met Luke Skywalker? Or Wedge!

[Wedge counts, she guesses. She assumes all these Star Wars people are from the same time.]

I haven't heard of them, no. I know of a Skywalker, but his name isn't Luke. He was a Jedi, and before my time.

[ Well, she's spoken to Anakin a couple of times, but technically he's dead, or should be, or something. Whatever. Timelines. ]

ohhh i understand

frozen is

[crap what is that word. His English is still so shoddy.]

it is not literal. it has been locked up

[Oh she meant she'd draw him a picture as a thank you! But that's too difficult to explain and she just shakes her head.]

It doesn't matter even if you get the wrong thing, as long as I can draw with it.

[ That was a blow he was not expecting and he barely manages to suppress the wince.

What if nobody ever had any of your love at all?

Surely they knew. Surely he didn't keep it a secret. Surely, all of them knew, deep down that he . . .

It takes him a few minutes to reply. ]

That can't be true.
