thefinaljedi | 4th Transmission, again with the questions... [Video]

Good morning, anyone who may be listening in at this hour. I have a few questions, for anyone who may or may not be so inclined to answer them.

Firstly, does anyone remember anything that happened last weekend at all? I have spent the last few days meditating, and it seems worrisome that several days have just blanked out of my mind. I feel as though something important happened, but I can't remember.

Secondly, does anyone around here know anything about acquiring power supplies for machinery? I've broached the topic with a few others, but I would like to ask everyone as a whole. I'm attempting to reconstruct some of the technology from my world and would need a few small odds and ends to do so.

Finally, I'm told by some people in the village that there is a series of popular movies...that apparently are about me and the other members of the Rebel Alliance. I...find myself curious, and would very much like to see these for myself. I will admit the thought unnerves me a little, but I'd like to know if anyone has a copy they would be willing to share.

[Luke doesn't mind cynicism. His best friend IS Han Solo...]

Of course. Time is such an important thing.

Even here? Or do we say so because we're used to believing that? [It's a valid question, and not cynicism this time; just philosophical.]

Honestly? I don't have an answer for that. I'd say its important, if only to mark the seasons, remember holidays, and things like that to break up the monotony.

Seasons do that on their own. The weather changes whether we take notice of the date or not.

Fair enough. Do you keep time?

Yes. Even if it's somewhere like this, I don't want to waste any that I have. I want to stay organized.

Organization seems like reason enough then.

My goal's aren't Luceti's. That's all. Although I'm willing to work together with the others here.

I don't think anyone's goals really are Luceti's. I'm happy to work with other people myself, and given the circumstances we probably should stick together.

The people here already gave me a chance when they didn't have to. I was glad. And I want to repay that kindness. So, I'll definitely work for their sake.

An admirable goal. So, I'm told certain people do not want to leave Luceti. Am I to guess that you do wish to return home, and work towards that end, then?

Yes. Ideally, everyone will be able to do as they wish about that. However, if there's a choice, I'll fight to be able to go home myself, with Usagi-chan.

Usagi-chan? [That word again...] Are you Japanese?

I grew up in Tokyo, but I moved to America for medical school.

I'm not familiar with Tokyo, is it a city? I really only know a few countries in your world, but Japan seems to be an important one.

It's the capital city; it's very important.

Its a bit different for me I guess. Countries kind of don't seem to matter much when we can travel across the Galaxy in a matter of weeks. Planets tend to have capital cities, but not many planets have countries

[...

Normally, she might not say it, but in this situation, she wants to use it as away to draw a similarity in experience between them.]

I sort of remember hearing... It was that way in my world a long time ago: the planet was one country.

[He'll understand this so much better after their mission.]

[So much more indeed...]

Thats interesting. Even in my home, most planets DID have countries but they sorta faded out when Hyperspace was discovered. Such a long time ago, though. Eons and eons before I was born. I sort of wonder what it would be like, to live on a world like yours?

[He says this not to be condescending, more thoughtful. Its not every day he ponders life without Hyperspace, aliens, and other things.]

I think it would be very different. Just as different as arriving in your world would be for me.

I guess it would be, wouldn't it? What do people do on your world, to enjoy themselves, or for work?

That's too large of a question. Like any world, everyone is different and has their own abilities and preferences.

Yes, I suppose it is. Forgive my poor wording. What do you enjoy, then?

Swimming, and chess. In school, Math was my favorite. I like to read and to study, too.

[Swimming? That was something he'd never done in his youth. On Tatooine? Where water was sold? HAH]

I never swam as a child, but I learned how to a few years ago. Chess, on the other hand, I've played a bit.
