[ The stream goes live with two men standing in front of the camera. They both look a little stiff in front of it, though the bearded man seems more relaxed and casual while the taller one seemed a little . . . frowny ]

Greetings, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. And this is my compatriot and partner, Anakin Skywalker. We hail from Coruscant and are part of the Jedi Order.

The Jedi are keepers of peace … most of the time.

[ Before Obi-Wan can say anything, Anakin looks over at him with a shrug. ]

I’m just saying.

[ Obi-Wan sighs. ]

Yes. Well, nevertheless. We would like to offer our services to the public. We’ve been trained in negotiation, trade and, yes, the art of a good fight. If you need support or bereft of someone to help you . . . then we’re happy to serve.

And blowing things up. We’re good at that too!

[ Obi-Wan looks skyward as if imploring a higher deity. ]

Yes. We’re good at that too.

Comments

[jedies]

What was her name?

[ he didn't think others had been here. he hadn't heard anything from rey. ]

The Moon Knights seem more militaristic. I would rather avoid falling under that umbrella.

[ which feels hypocritical, but obi-wan would prefer to operate alone. ]

[bubbleblaster]

Her name's Kerra Holt.

[ Though from what little she had been able to gleam about how the Jedi worked from her, that order was probably big enough that it was entirely possible that he'd never heard of her.

As for his comment about the Moon Knights...]

Oh, I'm not suggesting joining them full time. Or at all really. I'd... honestly be a big hypocrite if I were suggesting that. Just that... well, when a wide scale emergency happens it might make more sense to work alongside them rather than try to do something on your own.

[jedies]

[ hmm. sounds unfamiliar which is odd. there aren't many jedi around, after all. ]

You make a fair point. I suppose an alliance cannot hurt.

[bubbleblaster]

[ Yep. Seems like he hadn't heard of Kerra. Otherwise he'd probably had said something related to her.]

It's definitely better than all of us scrambling to help with a crisis with no idea what's going on, at least.

[jedies]

How many of those can one place have?

[bubbleblaster]

It seems like it happens here around once a month. And unfortunately it seems to be a different issues each time, so there isn't even some sort of consistent threat for us to be preparing for.

[jedies]

Maybe there's more to the history of this place than we realized.

[bubbleblaster]

There is. There was a calamity in the distant past that caused a lot of the history of this world to be lost. Including what the calamity even was, though there is information about what happened after it the the archives.

[jedies]

I have heard a little about that.

But not about the Calamity. The records were lost?

[bubbleblaster]

That's what I've been told every time I ask about it to the natives. And after being here so long I don't really have any reason to doubt that they aren't telling the truth.

... Though it is still worrying that something could happen to wipe out everything like that.

[jedies]

Yes. That is not a simple thing to do, even with natural disasters.

[ but then again . . . something happened to the jedi. something terrible. ]

[bubbleblaster]

Especially since there were survivors. It'd be one thing if other people settled on the world later, but from what little we have been told that's not the case.

[jedies]

[ now that is news to him. ]

I assumed there were. But there's no record of them either?

[bubbleblaster]

Not from what I've seen, though it's possible that I might have just missed a mention of that happening.

[ Though if there were settlers from other worlds who arrived here and restarted the society on this world, it certainly wasn't by choice.]

[jedies]

I will have to look into it.

[bubbleblaster]

And if I find anything else out while I look I'll be sure to let you know too.

[jedies]

[ he bows, sincerity shining through his expression. ]

I deeply appreciate it.
