[ Padmé’s been asleep for about a month, but she still seems a little tired. As usual, she’s sitting in her office when she broadcasts. ]

Good morning, everyone. [ She smiles kindly, though it doesn’t dispel the glimmer of melancholy in her eyes. ] For those who do not know me, my name is Padmé Amidala. Apparently I took a month-long nap-- I apologize for any inconvenience I’ve caused for my crew. I may need a little help catching up on current events.

[ She pauses, unsure. ] I do have a different sort of question. Has anyone experienced side-effects from our stay on Hea-Guaa?

[ Because her telepathy augment upgrade seems to have finally kicked in. ]

[ Padmé is idly walking through the Heron. Officially, she’s checking their supplies and making sure there aren’t any pressing issues to take care of. She rather hopes there’s some kind of pressing issue, if only to take her mind off of everything and bring her back to her everyday life on the Fleet. But she’s clearly restless and distracted. ]

Well, I'm sure you must be busy given some of the crew here seems to be irrational and emotional at best. If you're here hopefully that means perhaps I won't have to hear about their issues constantly.

[Between Winter and Erik, Hux really was tired of hearing about how awful their one primitive planet was.]

cries oops

[diplomacme]

Are you lodging a formal complaint?

[therewillbeorder]

[He considered for a moment, weighing the option. He had no doubt that if Erik really wanted to kill him Padme wouldn't be able to prevent that. Besides, he wanted to explore more interesting ways to deal with him.]

For now, no. However, you should know Erik rather dangerous. He decided to lash out at me in an irrational rage because I reminded him of someone from his planet. Perhaps you should speak with him about getting some help about that.

[diplomacme]

I... will speak with him.

[ Not to chastise or to punish, but to get his side of the story. Whatever Hux is, she can't have fighting on the Heron. If the Fleet is fighting itself, they might miss an opportunity to do something about the Atroma. ]

Oh good. I would hate for him to hurt someone else if he can't control himself.

[No, he wasn't concerned in the least but he could at least pretend for a moment though he doubted it was convincing.]

At least it will give you something to do, Senator.

[diplomacme]

What do you do in your free time aboard the Heron? I don't see you around often.

[ Not that she goes out of her way to look for him, but she does try to keep an eye on the crew. For one reason or another. ]

[therewillbeorder]

I manage to keep myself occupied with various projects on the ship. [Honestly, he hated free time. It was so counter productive and made him uncomfortable to have time where he could just sit around.]
