I don't suppose there's a workshop on the grounds. For those who need them, I can do basic mechanical repairs. [ and more than basic but those tend to require specialized tools that he's kind of lacking at the moment. ] Contact me privately, and we'll work out a deal.

For those who don't, I've learned that not many here were accustomed to interstellar travel prior to our recruitment. [ anakin lingers idly on the word “recruitment.” someone’s a tad furious. but he carries on in the same even tone of voice. ] I’m curious as to your worlds. Where you’re from, how far you’ve managed to explore.

[ general you there. he doesn't care to know about anyone's trip to the grand canyon.

someone please tell him, in detail, about the grand canyon. ]

And Finn? Check in. [ he did promise ok. this is him coming through. ]

I acknowledge that.

[failing already... But he does so try]

I am afraid I could not speak firsthand. I am from Prestor, not "Earth". It is a conjoined binary planet, and seemingly different from the "Earth" of those I've spoken to on this subject.

[apoptotic]

Prestor… What system is that?

[ considering his luck so far, he doubts he'll recognize it. but. ]

[roque]

I am afraid I cannot supply a recognizable name. Though flight is advanced among certain factions, we do not leave the atmosphere, nor send out "satellites".

[To his knowledge, anyway...]

The problems planetside require the majority of Guild attention.

[apoptotic]

What kind of problems?

[roque]

At present, the drop in temperature on one half of the system is causing political turmoil.

[Of the many problems, that seems the one it's most alright to divulge, at any rate.]

[apoptotic]

Man-made or natural?

[ anakin doesn't know why he's asking; it's not like he can help; but he voices the question, regardless. ]

[roque]

It is a most unnatural occurrence.

[Mechanical failure, really, but. There are things that can be revealed plainly and that which is better kept silent.

Another topic presents itself- rather. Himself.]

I appreciate your cooperation regarding Lord Dio's line of questioning. The lack of ships at this post has been somewhat troubling.

[ third-person. one of those people, ok. ]

I take it you've been here a while, then.

[roque]

[If only it was third person, and not his... rather enthusiastic charge that seems to have also found Anakin's post.

He's... not quite used to people not just knowing who Dio is quite yet.]

A mere month, in comparison to my lord and others.

[apoptotic]

Who is your lord?

[roque]

Lord Dio Eraclea.

[He would normally follow up with exactly who he was related to and the faction in order to explain the young man's importance, but. Lord Dio didn't appreciate that much these days, so.]

"happybirthday".

[apoptotic]

[ ah. that guy. :/ ]

It's no problem. Children will be children.

[ back on coruscant, padmé developed a headache and isn't entirely sure why. ]

[roque]

[Hmm... perhaps another misunderstanding.]

Lord Dio is not a child.

[apoptotic]

Are you sure?

[ anakin… ]
