[After she'd gotten herself out of that stasis pod and dressed, holstered, and strapped up, Kerra Holt took a moment to have a look around. This was definitely not where she'd intended to wind up when she'd made that last jump. Hell, where was this? And...what freak had shoved her into a tube naked?

Of course, when Kerra found the commlink, she was definitely going to poke at it. And set off the video thing accidentally.]

Oh. OH! Hey. Video? That's...different.

[Not Sith-tech, unless it was from Calimondra. No way any of the others had that sort of thing. Or Republic make? Or...the Hutts. Either way, it was broadcasting.

Kriff. Broadcasting. That wasn't good. People could see her face. Well...time to put on a smile and ask some questions then, Kerra.]

Right. So. If you can hear this...I guess I'm the new girl around here. And I've obviously got a few questions for anyone with the inclination to answer. Starting with where the hell am I? What system? What Quadrant, even. I don't even know if I'm in the Core Worlds or out on the Outer Rim. Last I knew I was making a Hyperspace jump and now I'm here.

[And just to be safe...but polite at the same time, may as well give the other name.]

Oh, and the name's Mercy.

A Nurse, good to know.

[Kerra grins]

Well, I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. Mostly...a bit of a public servant. I don't guess titles and things would mean much to you, being from another galaxy and all.

You'd be surprised. I mean, you know what a nurse is.

Of course.

[Another shrug]

Do the words Jedi or Sith mean anything to you?

Mmm, no. Never heard of them.

Fair. Just...if you ever hear anyone calling themselves Sith? Run.

[Free advice, there.]

I'm the other. A Jedi.

Um. Okay. And what is a Jedi, if you don't mind me asking?

Long story short, guardians of peace and order.

[Supposedly]

Oh, that's sort of what Starfleet does. I'm in Starfleet, and we keep peace within the Federation.

Starfleet, huh? I take it the Federation is your Galaxy's version of the Republic. Central governing body?

That's it exactly: The United Federation of Planets.

Sounds like a military organization.

It's a republic. But Starfleet is its defense organization, so it's pretty much the military.

Fair enough. Not too different from the Galactic Republic then. [Except you guys hold territory better.]

So you're a ship's nurse then? On the medical staff.

Yes. I'm Head Nurse.

So, when I get hurt, come to you then?

[Kerra laughs mirthlessly. Getting hurt just...happens.]

Or Dr. McCoy, yes.

I'll remember that. I...tend to get kinda banged up a lot. So I'm sure I'll be seeing you.

[She stops, blinking, obviously having found the exit]

Guess...I should head towards the town then? If...you can call it that?

Yeah, you can find supplies from Nem and a place to stay.

Thanks for your help. I owe you one.

[And knowing her, probably more than that soon.]

No problem. I was happy to.

Be seeing you then. May the Force be with you.

Yeah. Um, thank you.

[Because what even is that?]
