[ Video ]

[ The feed shakes for a few minutes before it centers on a young thirteen year old boy. He has the trademark padawan braid and robes as he sits on his knees in front of the camera. His expression is quiet and muted, though it seems like he hasn't had much sleep. His eyes are red-rimmed and tired. ]

Hello. If you could tell me if this ship is heading to Coruscant, I would be grateful. If not, I'd be happy to earn my way there through any duties you deem necessary.

[ He hesitates, pausing for far too long, biting on his lip. ] And if you -- you have seen Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Thank you.

[ Action ]

[ Obi-Wan weaves himself through the ship, his shoulders hunched and his saber in a tight white-knuckled grip. Surely Qui-Gon wouldn't have left him here . . . not after coming back. Not after their discussion.

Then again, what rights did Obi-Wan even possess?

He tugs the hood over his face and keeps a wary eye on everyone who came close. This was a strange vessel and their responses got even more confusing. Best to keep to himself until he got to Coruscant. ]

[Okay, where to even start? First things first, Dameron.]

Number one, we're not in our galaxy any more. No ships to Coruscant. No ships anywhere we know.

Then . . . where are we going?

Unknown. We're not actually in control of the course of these ships. We've been abducted here by these being or beings called Atroma and have been put on the ships. It's not a great situation, but it could be a hell of a lot worse.

[ Obi-Wan relaxes slightly. Being kidnapped was nothing new and at least he's not being collared and put to work under hard labor. ]

I've never heard of the Atroma. Do we know what they want?

Not really. The best I've heard so far is that we're on some sort of... entertainment show? But I haven't really seen much evidence for it. On the other hand, the Atroma hasn't said much either.

Wait, so no one has seen them? Then how did we get kidnapped to begin with?

I don't know, exactly. Everyone just... woke up here. Well, not here on these ships. Normally, you wake up on another ship, called the Marsiva, and then you get sent out to the smaller ships a few days later.

Trip from the Marsiva seems to be one way.

[ He absorbs this quietly before nodding. ]

I see. I suppose I'll make the most of it for now.

[Heh.]

Don't really got much of a choice there. We're all stuck.

I've been stuck in tough places before.

Honestly? It hasn't been that tough so far. The boredom will get you before anything else will.

Surely it's not . . . that boring.

I spent my day making cupcakes with a bright pink alien who calls her species ponies.

Yeah. It kind of is. Not that I have anything against cupcakes, but we're not exactly scrambling for defense lines here.

I guess that is boring in a way. Being a Padawan always kept me busy and we see a lot of combat.

When you're used to flying X-wings in an active war, yeah.

I don't think you'll see much of that here. And since your master's not around... er. I guess that's going to be a challenge. Though there are other Jedi here. They should be able to help you out and keep you in line.

[ He stiffens. ]

There are Jedi here? Who?

Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.

[ Obi-Wan frowns. ]

I don't know them.

...do all Jedi know each other? [Is that a thing?]

No, but we're close as a group. If they were Padawans, I would know them.

Pretty sure they're not padawans.

Then they must be Jedi Knights.

I'll take your word for it. I don't know anything about Jedi.

[ That's . . . odd. ]

Why not?

I'm a pilot, Obi-wan. I go where they tell me, and fly.
