Who: Luke Skywalker
Broadcast: Fleetwide (Accidental)
Action: Marsiva
When: 2/16

[Luke Skywalker is sitting pensively in front of one of the wide windows on the Marsiva's Hospitality Deck. Rather than staring out into the darkness of space, he's bent over a tiny silver disk in his hands. It's open, revealing a series of wires, something mechanical and complex. Lacking any proper tools of his own, Luke is replying it with careful fingers and, occasionally, teeth.]

[Lacking any proper supplies, he's forced to improvise. At one point, he removes the glove on his right hand. There's a burn over the back, but the flesh cracks open to reveal more wires and mechanistry. Luke pulls some wires out, breaks them and inserts them into the disk. It seems to cause some of the fingers on his hand to twitch irregularly, but the disk is repaired. He presses a button, and a little blue holograph of a smiling couple appears.]

[He stares at it for a little while.]

[Finally, Luke notices that he's being recorded.] Hello, there. How long have you been on, hm? [He reaches over and turns off the feed.]

[Actually wait. A second later, Luke turns the feed back on.] I suppose if all of this is being recorded, I ought to introduce myself. I'm Luke Skywalker. It's a pleasure to meet you. [His smile kind of... twitches.] All of you.

You never told me you knew a duchess! [His eyes, at least, are bright.] You'll have to tell me of her. And the Clone Wars. I'm beginning to suspect I'm going to need a stronger education in history while I'm here.

I'm sure there are a great many things I have not spoken about. The tales themselves would be quite long and not always exciting.

[ Perhaps he can muster up the power to talk about her. If it helps her live on in the hearts of others. ]

[t65]

Somehow, I doubt that. [How could your life be anything but fascinating, Ben?] But I won't press you for details.

[beardstrokes]

[ He wouldn't trade it for anything, but he does feel a pause button is necessary. ]

You can, if that is your choice. Just like it will be mine to share what I know. I had promised you that I would help continue your training.

[t65]

[He frowns at that, a little contemplative.] Are you sure? I've already benefited from your training in the past, I don't want to take up all your time. [In the end, though, he's left with a smile.]

[beardstrokes]

From the looks of things, I have plenty of time on hand.

[ At least, that is the one good thing the Atroma has given him lately. He may never fully possess the peace of mind he once had - but he's willing to make the best of it. ]

It's your decision, Luke.

[t65]

And- thank you for it. But if you're not ready to take on new pupils, I should hardly take up your time. [He doesn't want to pressure Ben into anything, but he greatly dislikes the idea of being trained by him while Leia's untrained.]

[beardstrokes]

[ No, he's not ready yet. He doesn't know when he will be ready. Teaching is something Jedi do and now it's more important than ever to pass down their history. Nomi Sunrider could teach some of it, but she was at the beginning of it all. ]

All right.

[t65]

[Luke smiles.] Thank you, Ben. [And then kind of scratches his head. A little jokingly,] I hope you'll still answer questions, though.

[beardstrokes]

I shall do my best to.

[t65]

Thank you. You've always been a great help to me. I hope I can return the favor eventually.

[beardstrokes]

I'm sure you have already.
