First Diplomatic Meeting [Video] Wednesday Morning | Week 42

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[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.

Comments

[Video] Sorry I'm late...

[erranthero]

[Out of all of that, the only thing that really clicks for Kerra is Naboo. Inner Rim, wealthy, peaceful Republic planet. Nice place, if somewhat boring. That meant someone from home. Someone important. And given the strong ties between the Senate and the Order in her time, Kerra's definitely not ignoring it.

And then...she skims the other unfiltered replies like any good scout should. Oh...kriff...

This'll be interesting...]

Senator, forgive me if I seem curt but I'm afraid we're well outside of the Republic, or any Empire you might be familiar with. I'm Jedi Knight Kerra Holt, and as Major Janson has already explained, time can be a little strange here. A...heh...a thousand years at least kinda strange.

That said, welcome to Verdana and the settlement of Poseidon.

[And...only a Senator could really get that level of politeness out of her.]

[Video] No problem

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[And she gets politeness in return as Padmé at least is one of the few who still trusts the Jedi. She nods.]

It's a lot to take in, but I believe I'm getting the idea.

[A suddenly twenty year old son will do that to your ideas of what is normal.]

Thank you.

When you say one thousand years, are you referring to yourself?

[Video]

[erranthero]

[Yes, yes it will.]

I do. I'm...well...[She bites back a curse for a Senator] I'm from what I believe people in your time call the Dark Age of the Republic. When the Sith took the Outer Rim, and the Republic pulled down the comm-grids out there.

[She smiles ruefully, but there's a hint of pride in her voice.]

I'm the only Jedi out there in my time. Well, the only one alive, anyway. I take it you're from before Major Janson and Skywalker by a few years, then?

[Video]

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

I see.

[That is a bit to take in, but at this point it's certainly the less insane thing she's heard. She simply nods. But that last bit.]

Skywalker?

Oh you mean Luke. Yes, he was just...born before I arrived here. I'd say twenty years or more difference between our points in time given his age. If... they've told you anything about their history. The Republic has just fallen to the Sith Lord Palpatine before I arrived here.

[Video]

[erranthero]

Yeah. Err...yes. Luke.

[Gosh, forcing her to be formal.]

Major Janson gave me a brief overview. I know the basics, but not much else. And if it's alright with you, I'd rather not know specifics. It's easier for me that way.

[Because kriff...that's...well, it's not like she doesn't have enough to worry about.]

[Video]

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[She nods to that.]

I understand. Are the three of you the only others from our galaxy here?

[Video]

[erranthero]

There was another, but she's returned to the pods. She was from an earlier time than even me.

[Just a shrug there, Jariel had been weird.]

[Video]

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

It seems ....very random.

Is there any pattern to the people who arrive here at all?

[Video]

[erranthero]

They all tend to be somewhat extraordinary, in their own way.
