[Network Post - Video]

I've decided that it would be more convenient to have the Palm Cottage brought to Temba. If anyone has any objections, let me know. Otherwise, anyone who wishes to come on the maiden voyage is free to do so. I'll be taking the next train out.

Also, if there are any Agrii listening, particularly Te Mi. Then I would like to thank you for the gift. There are several people enjoying the lightsabers already.

[Train to Sh'Ka]

With a small bag of personal things and a toy lightsaber, Obi-Wan heads out to the train station and boards the next train as he said he would. He's hard to miss with that flowing Jedi cloak. Whether you're coming with you fly on the Palm Cottage or not, he's clearly in a good mood and willingly to talk to anyone who wishes to.

A hand gesturing to the seat next to him for anyone who would like to join him on the lengthy ride to Sh'Ka.

[Palm Cottage]

Once the train stops at the station, the Jedi heads straight towards the hangar. Does he meet your character there perhaps? Or had they been on a different train car? Either way, he accesses the ship that he's been assigned to pilot and goes inside. Feeling at east on this ship even more than he had on the Twin Roses. Possibly due to the abundance of potted plants that are situated around the ship.

He first heads to the bunks and places his things on the captain's cot. Putting down the toy lightsaber he brought and unpacking a few other items that he decided he would like to keep on the ship, including a holocron. Once he's done with that he heads for the cockpit and begins to power up the systems and refamiliarize himself with the controls.

Train

Likewise, the warlord is difficult to miss. Despite the warm weather he wears a greatcoat over everything else, with tall boots and light armor. His helmet with short, twining horns is quite distinct, and the fact that one can't see his face beyond the grilled wires does give him a slightly menacing air. To the senses he does not feel the way organic beings do. Light-blessed, he'd remind a Force-sensitive of a certain other Exo, although only in sense of presence.

He's only gone out to the other city once before. The train ride makes him anxious, having to sit for so long in one place, relying on the vehicle to carry them to their destiny without control of where it was going. At least this time he knows it actually has a place to go to and from, but it's not a trip he looks forward to. Discovering new ways to be paranoid is not really a fun thing.

Felwinter travels light, carrying nothing extra, but really needing nothing, except a shotgun, which he is upset to lack. His Ghost floats beside him, a silvery drone. As they board the train, the helmeted figure looks around, but it's not difficult to find Obi-Wan when he's one of so few on the train.

[hadthehighground]

Felwinter makes Obi-Wan look like he's wearing camouflage. The armored being is given a mildly surprised look when he boards the train. He does indeed feel different, if vaguely familiar, in the Force. Though as a little floating droid comes into view, there's suddenly a look of understanding.

"Hello there," he calls in greeting before gesturing to the seats around him. "Come, have a seat friend. I don't believe we've met?"

They would be on this train for awhile, so they might as well get acquainted!

[tyrants_son]

"...I do not believe we have," the warlord replies after some slight hesitation. He sounds cautious, but at the invitation he does move to take a seat, and after looking over the area there, he takes one of the spaces across the aisle from the Jedi.

"My name is Felwinter. I believe we are assigned to the same ship." It's difficult not to forget the ship, strange as it looked on the inside. He still isn't sure what to make of it, but if it flies, then hopefully there would be no other issues.

[hadthehighground]

"Ah, so you saw my message about the Palm Cottage? Very good, I'm glad to meet another shipmate."

As the train then begins to move, Obi-Wan sits back and relaxes. He's taken the train only a couple of times, but it's a familiar enough experience. Might as well get comfortable.

"Does your little friend there have a name as well?" He gestures to the floating droid.

[tyrants_son]

"I have met at least one more, when we first went to the other city to have a look at the ships in question," he says. The man had been an interesting one, but Felwinter had rather liked the proposal Pietro had made. They could learn how to survive these new things as shipmates.

Unlike Obi-Wan, Felwinter tenses almost instantly once the train lurches forth. It's like sitting in a metal cage. At least it's on the ground, though he still dislikes that it seems automated. How it's still able to function after a questionable amount of time is something he wonders. True even the remnants of the Golden Age back home had still sustained power, but they were in poor condition most of the time.

The Jedi's question has him glance over his shoulder as his Ghost hovers a little lower so she's occupying the space beside him. "This is Felspring," he says.

[hadthehighground]

He sure is a jumpy one, but Obi-Wan can understand to a degree. The Jedi not minding the jolt as they are still very much on the ground. Were they in the air though he might not be as much at ease.

“Have you? I admit I haven’t met any others yet. You’re the first.” He supposed he would find out eventually one way or another who their ships crew was.

His attention then turns to the little droid again. “Hello to you too, Felspring.” His next question being directed at the armored fellow again. “I take it this is your ghost? You’re from the same world as Cayde and Ikora?”

[tyrants_son]

It's difficult to let go of an anxiety you've only built up ever since your Ghost first Woke you up.

"You would only be the second I have come across," Felwinter admits. "Although the only person I know from the roster is Reeve. He was part of our venture into the mines."

Felspring gave a polite bob of a nod at Obi-Wan, otherwise seeming content to let Felwinter do the talking. "She is," the warlord confirms, pausing before he continues. "...yes. It appears we are. Although it seems that we are not of the same time."

[hadthehighground]

They can perhaps sympathize with each other’s anxieties then. Which is why Obi-Wan doesn’t point it out, due to respect.

“Ah yes, I’ve met Reeve before but admittedly our paths don’t often cross.” Not everyone was chummy with the Jedi either. Some of the people that they are stuck with don’t often talk to him if at all. Being spaced out as they were allowed for distance if desired.

“I can relate to that. There’s many from my galaxy here, but we all come from different points in time. It’s confusing at best.”

Train to Sh'Ka

[pleiade]

Asterope's carrying some more ration bars and some fruits and veggies from the Temba greenhouse for those who've been working on the power station. It's her way of getting a brief break, going on a fetch quest, but she didn't realize anyone else was going to be on her train. Still, the invitation is given and accepted with a tiny smile.

"Hi."

Okay, a little awkward. That's typical for Asti, though.

[hadthehighground]

“Hello.”

Obi-Wan just gives her a friendly smile in return.

“I don’t believe we’ve met. My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. Are you new to Agra 10?”

[pleiade]

"Fairly new, yes. Arrived a couple weeks ago. Asterope Glass." She sets her basket of supplies down by her feet and offers an eerily pale hand to shake. She's dressed in a grey tunic of some light fabric belted over a black bodysuit and a pair of sturdy boots.

"Everyone's been unnaturally kind here."

[hadthehighground]

“Unnaturally?” Obi-Wan has to chuckle at that.

“We’re all stuck here together, and are welcoming to newcomers. But I assure you we have our moments where we disagree.”

Obi-Wan is dressed in his brown tunics and cloak. Not really any more remarkable than what she’s wearing. He takes her offered hand and gives a shake. “It’s good to meet you.”

[pleiade]

"Welcomes like this are a new experience, that's all. People back home are harder and more bitter, selfish--but they have to be, to get by. It's a hard world. This place is hard too, but...there's room for discovery and growth and breathing. It's better."

She shrugs, her handshake light, almost non-confrontational.

[hadthehighground]

“I see. That would be a significant change. In many ways it’s better than where I come from too.” Responsibility aside, he would choose this world over Tatooine any day.

His hand is strong and firm but not overly so. Releasing hers, it disappears inside the sleeve of his cloak again as he folds them together in his lap.

“So what is bringing you to the new city? Have you had a chance to explore it yet?”

[pleiade]

"Helping Cal with the power station has been a higher priority than exploring. There's been a lot of work there. Rewiring, protecting vital circuits from the weather."

She shrugs. "Right now, making sure there's enough food for everyone who's been working there."

[hadthehighground]

“You’re part of Cal’s team? Well I’m glad to hear it, and that you’re looking after everyone. That gives me peace of mind about how he’s doing over there. I hope we will get communication between the two cities up soon.”

It was nice to see someone who was so committed to the effort. Obi-Wan didn’t have the engineering datapoint so his ability to help was limited.

Network Post

[agrii]

Good! More light say burrs for more He Rows. He Rows need light say burr to be jade dies, yes?

[hadthehighground]

Not quite. There’s more to it than that. But they are a significant part of our culture.

Train

[lionunchained]

Not sure what the Palm Cottage is, but color Shiro curious to find out. Since the offer had been made, he had decided to come along. So he headed to board the next train at the station and joined the other passengers. He didn't bring a lot of supplies, figuring that if he had a need to, he could handle most problems.

He recognized the man who had made the invitation for others to join him, having spoken to him once before. He came over to sit down near him.

"Hello."

[hadthehighground]

"Ah, hello there," Obi-Wan greets amiably.

"We spoke before on the network didn't we? Shiro, right?" He remembers their conversation as he didn't often talk to people on the devices. It hadn't been the happiest topic, but that was all right. Perhaps this time they could have a more uplifting conversation on their trip.

[lionunchained]

"Yes, we did. Obi-Wan. I wanted to thank you for the invite. I admit I haven't had enough excuse to take the train anywhere and I am curious about the Palm Cottage you mentioned."

He intended for it to be a better conversation. It had be rather therapeutic to talk about it, but he didn't want to spend all of his time focused on it.

[hadthehighground]

“Have you not been to the new city yet?”

He knew there were some out there that hadn’t been. Not that he could blame them as communication wasn’t possible at the moment. On top of the fact that it was more of a ruin than Temba currently was.

“The Palm Cottage is one of the three ships we discovered recently. I had the fortune of being assigned to it as its pilot.”

[lionunchained]

"No, I haven't been there yet I'm afraid." So he was probably in for a surprise when they got there.

"I see. Then that is fortunate. I have been curious about other ships allotted to us. They all seem so different from each other."

[hadthehighground]

Definitely a surprise, but hopefully a good one! Obi-Wan definitely liked the city even if nothing was working at the moment.

“That they are, and these new ones are quite unique compared to the ones we have known. Which ship are you currently assigned to?”

[lionunchained]

He would certainly be interested in it and probably spend more time there working on stuff if that became a thing they needed done.

"Fascinating. I'm currently assigned to the Bishop as a pilot."
