[ It had been empty for a while, save for Artoo when he wasn't off doing... whatever droids do. She hadn't liked it, had paced up and down and gotten lost in her own head. ]

Was it that bad out there?

[darkforce]

In a way.

[darkforce]

I am not injured. I just need to take some time away to reorder my thoughts.

If I do come in, I will be with Obi-Wan. R2-D2 will undoubtedly be unable to stay away though.

[suddenlycaptain]

That's fine.

Take care of yourself, Anakin.

[darkforce]

Could you make sure that nobody goes near the shuttle I was working on. They won't understand what I have done to it.

text;

[suddenlycaptain]

I'll keep an eye on it.

... What did you do to it?

text;

[darkforce]

Its engine is in the process of being retrofitted. I was attempting to convert it to use an alternate source of energy.

text;

[suddenlycaptain]

Oh, okay.

There was someone else interested in looking into alternate fuel sources for them -- did he contact you?

text;

[darkforce]

No. I rarely talk to others about I am working on. The others won't know what I am doing.

[suddenlycaptain]

He's not on the flight crew. He's large, naked, blue, and he teleports. He talked to be about alternative fuel sources and I suggested you as someone on the crew who may have good ideas about it.

text;

[darkforce]

You did?

[no, okay. that isn't what he should be focusing on. especially not when he still doesn't know when he'll be back again]

I will attempt to contact him after the jump.

text;

[suddenlycaptain]

Yes, I did.

He has a habit of just showing up to talk to people. I tried to ask him to warn people, but in case he doesn't, now you know.

[ So please don't stab him. ]

[darkforce]

[his first response is "it's impossible to sneak up on a jedi". but it's a reply that's deleted before it's sent. no, he needs to show a little more restraint than that.]

Thank you.

text;

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Good boy, Anakin. ]

You're welcome.

Let me know if you need anything.

text;

[darkforce]

I will.

[spoiler: he won't. but he's grateful anyway.]
