[ 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. ]

I think there's a difference between a feeling and believing in it.

If time travel is possible, when are you from?

[Crap, he doesn't even know how old General Kenobi currently is, though he's definitely no general. Well, can he remember when the clone wars were? It had to be before that. Significantly before that.]

Probably more than seventy years in your future.

[ Wow. His eyes widen. ]

What's it like?

Re: Video

[helluva_pilot]

Probably not what you'd hope it would be. [He sighs.] I don't know any Jedi because there aren't any left.

[ Okay, that was not what he expected. ]

That's impossible.

It's been a rough seventy years for the galaxy.

The Jedi have existed for thousands of years. They cannot simply be wiped out.

[He feels like a total jerk for saying all of this. But he hates lying. This isn't some undercover mission.

Softly:] Yeah, so did the Republic.

Re: Video

[ He reels as if he's been hit. ]

Impossible. That's -- impossible.

Re: Video

[Well, he feels like the worst person in the galaxy now.]

Sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have told you.

[ Obi-Wan turns off the connection because there's only so much he can handle. Cerasi was dead. And now, in the future, so were the Jedi.

Everything was gone. He stumbles away. ]
