[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.

Is it really? I got the impression I was in the minority.

Common enough. But where things stand as I left, I'm afraid dark magic has thoroughly overpowered the good.

Well, this ship's a bit bigger than the one's I'm used to. But no it's pretty normal. Space travel is pretty common.

Sorcery...is not. There is on the the Force.

"The Force"? I'm not familiar. Is that what you call magic, where you're from?

Not magic. It's a natural thing, an energy field created by all living things. Binds us together. Some people can sense and manipulate it.

That's...interesting. I would almost think it magic by another name, but not so may people can learn sorcery.

I'm not very good at explaining it, but it's just something not everyone can sense. And it's not evil. Not like sorcery.

[That's not a good word for Kerra, sorcery is something Sith do.]

[Considering the two most powerful sorcerers in her world are known as 'The Dark One' and 'The Evil Queen'? Not going to argue.]

All of the other worlds I've heard described in anything like detail so far are different from one another, and one. It's no surprise to me yours shouldn't be the same.

I've gotten that impression too, from the other people who've contacted me.

It's all a bit much to take in though, but I'll get there. Thanks for the help. Seriously. I owe you.

You're very welcome. I don't know how much help my answers could really offer, but it's no trouble all the same.

It's been said people here try to look out for each other.

Right. Well, I still appreciate it.

I'm sure I'll see you around, too.
