Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

It is. A little sad, too. [She frowns.] She got brought here before she ever made it home. This was more stress she didn't need.

[On the other hand, she thinks the Fleet might be good for her in a few ways.]

She has good crew here. And I notice she's doing a lot better than she was when she first got here. [She smiles briefly.] So thanks for that.

I don't think I did much there, but I'm happy to have helped.

[ Obi-Wan's experience with slavery was minute, but intense. He hasn't forgotten it. ]

[She smiles again. This time it stays.]

So what's your crew make-up now? I know Greed has long gone, and you've got an invisible captain...? Is that right?

Invisible . . . ? Oh you mean Mikleo. I forgot other people can't see him clearly.

I take it you can see him just fine? [She gives him a curious look.] Cole did say some can and some can't. I wonder what makes the difference.

Yes and no. I can make out his outline and he can communicate with me with no issues, but I don't see him very clearly.

You don't know why he's visible to you?

Oh, I know. I'm force-sensitive. We can make out what is unseen, what is hidden. Akin to the way magic behaves, I believe.

Force-sensitive...

[It's the first she's heard that. But given the minimal information she has it sounds a little familiar.]

I wonder if haki would work as well.

I'm not familiar with that term.

In our world, it's kind of... force of will, I guess. And you can wield it in different ways. Most of it wouldn't apply, but there's a particular application called observation haki.

[She cracks a wry smile.] Our chef practices that one. He can hear a girl scream in panic from the other side of an island, and he sees a lot more than anyone else can.

[ He nods. ]

It's possible. People with heightened senses should pick up what's unseen.

I'm probably not going to be seeing him any time soon. My senses definitely aren't heightened when it comes to people.

Can you hear him on the comms?

I believe anyone can. The technology allows for that, thankfully.

That's good, at least. It can't be enjoyable if the majority of the Fleet doesn't even know he's there.

Honestly, I don't know how he manages it. I would have given up in frustration long ago.

He's probably got long years of tolerance from living with it at home. Sorey comes from the same place as far as I know, and nobody has trouble seeing him.

But yeah. I wouldn't enjoy it at all.

They're an odd combination, aren't they?

[She grins.] Actually, of the two of them, I've only met Sorey. I've been meaning to introduce myself to Mikleo, though.

I'm sure he'd like that. He seems to be closely involved with Sorey.
