[ 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.

[ 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.
