First Diplomatic Meeting [Video] Wednesday Morning | Week 42

[The video flickers to life after a moment, and a face will appear. She seems composed, but she's dressed plainly and her hair is down, if anyone knew her, they'd be surprised...for a number of reasons. She is fingering what appears to be a wooden trinket in her hands as she sits. Still inside the ship for the moment at least.

Her voice is composed, barely and there is a hint of steel behind her words. Okay more then a hint.]

Where are my children?

Whoever is in charge of this kidnapping, you did a poor job restraining me. I am willing to talk, but only if you tell me what has happened to my children.

....Palpatine, if you are behind this. Then I remind you that I am still a Senator, and unless you have destroyed them already I still have rights. You cannot detain me like this without informing the government of Naboo. I have done nothing wrong.

Okay, this is the bit where it gets complicated and you think I'm crazy.

[Because... it is]

People from the ship who came from the same place didn't necessarily come from the same time. For me, Palpatine rose to power decades ago.

....Decades.

But it was only recently....

[Okay give her a moment.]

You knew who I was though. Do I know you in this "future"?

[I hit on you once in an alternate reality... yeah, not going with that one]

I know Luke and Leia.

[Probably not much better]

You know them?

[There are too many questions to ask.]

Proud to say I do. Luke's going to be pretty glad to see you.

....He was just born when I saw him.

[What is her life. Wait that sounds....]

He's here? Is Leia also?

Just Luke. And, uh, he's going to look a little different than you remember...

[How does he always end up having to do this?]

He was a newborn when I last saw him.

He's... quite a bit older than that here.

[Which is an interesting change of pace from him finding Luke too young]

How old?

[That's a really good question with three calendars and time travel. This was apparently his life now.]

Twenty... five... ish?

[Dammit Luke why aren't you here to field this one?]

....I see.

[Just give her a moment because....]

That is ...quite older.

Yeah, the timelines are all kriffed up.

[Talking to a Senator. LUke's mom. Darth Vader's wife.]

Excuse my Huttese.

It seems that way...

[Okay another moment because ...yup shock.]

It's a lot to take in.

[It was a lot for him and he doesn't have surprise offspring involved]

Thank you for telling me.

Have you been on this world very long?

[He has to stop and think about it a moment. It's hard to keep track.]

A few months. The calendars are different, it gets confusing.
