Hey guys! Got some good news for you.

[Cal smiles as he turns the communicator's camera about to show the Replicator sitting on a worktable within the salvage shop. BD-1 stands on top of it, poking a foot at the light indicators.]

Finally got this thing fixed. It's running apart from the main power grid though, so the output might not be as much as it was before, but it's working now. I can have this thing moved back to the um... "Whale Comb Sent Her" unless anyone has any suggestions for somewhere else.

[There is a wince of sympathy at hearing that Cal’s lightsaber was destroyed. In another time and place he might have lectured the boy about it, but he has a feeling he doesn’t need to. Plus Cal wasn’t his Padawan. The mention of Tony though draws a blink.]

The eccentric man with the broken arm? Yes, I have met him.

[He found the man amusing, but wasn’t sure if he would trust him to help Cal build a lightsaber. But if Cal trusted him, that’s what mattered. Building a lightsaber was a personal thing for a Jedi. When the boy then produced crystal shards, his brows raised in interest.]

Do you really think they’ll work?

[His eyes studying the crystals as he also tried to feel them with the Force, scrutinizing them.]

[He'd be relieved if he knew he'd managed to dodge a lecture. That's definitely not something he'd want to hear, especially not about his lightsaber, not under the circumstances he'd gotten it damaged.

Cal laughs. Eccentric certainly covers Tony. There's a slight frown at the mention of the arm however.]

Yeah, that's him. Wonder what he's gotten himself up to...

[There's definitely an inherent source of energy within, alive in a resonating way although perhaps not in the same way as a kyber crystal.]

I don't know. I think they might. Someone was talking about how they wondered if the energy that came from the rods, that come from these crystals, is similar to how the energy of his homeworld works, like a cycle where everything is intertwined.

[Cal shrugs.]

Maybe it's a stretch, but there's still some kind of response from these. If it doesn't work, then I guess it'll be back to the drawing board.

[It was a habit born of Anakin’s recklessness with his own lightsaber. But after everything that happened and knowing Cal was a survivor like him and had likely lost his weapon in a terrible way, Obi-Wan didn’t have the heart to say anything about it. Times were different. He was different. Even though it hadn’t been that long for him. But a smile does come to his face at the laugh.]

That I don’t know. I had offered to heal his arm but he refused.

[Tony seemed to be quite a suspicious fellow which he supposed he couldn’t blame him for but Obi-Wan still wished the man had let him help him.]

Well, you won’t know till you try. It is my hope that it does work. However, if Tony is going to assist you with this. It might help if he had the real thing as a template?

Doubt a broken arm will stop him from doing things, either way.

[He remembers when they'd all been suffering from poisonous fish bites and the man had been quite stubborn.]

I think the main thing I need is a casing. Maybe some wiring.

[He arches a brow at Obi-Wan then.]

It might. Even when we had our components set and a kyber crystal, putting one together by sense was difficult. Having a reference would help.

Surely this replicator can help you with that?

[If it could make a rebreather he didn’t see why it couldn’t make a casing and some wires. Though wires could probably be easily found with all the broken machinery around too.

It’s then that a smile came to Obi-Wan’s face when he knew what Cal was referring to.]

It is supposed to be difficult. Building a lightsaber is the first real test of a Jedi.

[Reaching to his side he then held up his own weapon.]

I’ve done it three times now.

It could...but I didn't want to just make a copy of my master's saber.

[He smiles wanly, nodding a little as he remembers some of when he'd made his lightsaber.]

I lost mine back then. The one I've had is my master's. Most of what I've been doing with it has been manual repair, so it's...been a long time since I've ever actually put one together completely.

[That brought Obi-Wan pause as it was a story that resonated with him.]

I see. I too used my master’s lightsaber after his death, until I was able to make my own.

[Taking a breath he pushed the memories aside and then continued.]

If you need any help, I would be happy to assist.

[Though he doubted Cal would need it since Tony is already helping him. Still, he felt that he should at least offer.]

[Cal winces a little, sorry to touch on that, even if accidentally. Still, his smile is genuine at Obi-Wan's offer.]

Thanks, Ben. If anything comes up, I'll definitely ask.

[He gestures to the Replicator.]

If you wanted to try it out yourself for anything, feel free to. I'll be moving it back into the welcome building at the city square later today.

[The two of them seemed to have more in common than they realized. But he let it just roll of him of and smiled back at the young man.]

Perhaps another time. Though I would like to keep this if that's all right.

[He lifted the rebreather that he was still holding. It could come in handy at some point after all.]

Oh, that? It's your's.

[Cal grins a little as he nods.]

Careful if you go exploring the flood plain. There's a lot of hungry things down there.

[But that probably goes for anywhere. He just has some experience with the aforementioned.]

Surely it can't be any worse then the giant underwater fish on Naboo. They were large enough to swallow and entire vehicle.

[The Jedi is amused and nods in thanks before placing the rebreather in the pouch on his belt where one would normally be.]

Though I will certainly keep that in mind.

[Cal arches a brow at that.]

Wish I could say for sure that there wasn't anything that big lurking in there, but it was a lot deeper than I thought it was. Still, it's the smaller ones that were dangerous. They swarmed us, and the poison from their bites was paralysis-inducing.

Oh... I see. It’s like Master Yoda always used to say. Size matters not.

[Yikes. Obi-Wan would definitely stay clear of the water in that case. That didn’t sound like a fun way to die, if dying could be fun.]

Heh. Yeah, exactly.

[It's a wistful sort of look that plays on his face as he thinks of the wizened Jedi master. He wonders, and decides he wouldn't be surprised, if Yoda was still out there somewhere. It does remind him of something however.]

...I saw someone like him here. Much younger, still a child. The Agrii brought him here with a Mandalorian.

[Obi-Wan’s brows shoot up in surprise at that.]

Really? I’ve only known of a handful of Yoda’s kind, and all of them were Jedi. Never had I heard of any living among Mandalorians, and I’ve known quite a few of them.

Was this child Force sensitive?

The Mandalorian seemed very protective of him. Called him his 'foundling.' As for the child...I'm not sure. I wasn't able to get much information. But...I think he was. There was just that sense of...something, you know?

A foundling. So he was a warrior following the creed.

[Obi-Wan stroked his chin thoughtfully. A bit intrigued by the notion. It was a shake that they no longer seemed to be here.]

Yes, I do know. Always trust your feelings, Padawan. They never lie to you.

Creed?

[Cal tilts his head. He doesn't know very much about Mandalorians save for what might have been touched upon in stories or rumors.]

I kind of wish I'd been able to find out more. But at the same time I couldn't blame the Mandalorian for being cautious.

Yes, some Mandalorian warriors follow an ancient creed. Something that had largely been done away with in our time in favor of peace. However, there were some who clung to the old ways and rebelled.

[Obi-Wan on the other hand knows quite a bit about Mandalorians.]

Why do you say that?

I see.

[From what he'd heard, peace hadn't worked out very well for the Mandalorians, and he's not sure how they've weathered the Empire. Then again, if there are those who've clung to the old ways...]

Hm? Oh. Well, depending on when he's coming from, and how aware he is of the child's potential, it's not too different from what we've been doing. Even being brought here by some unexplainable circumstances, I wasn't sure who all to trust, and there are so many different worlds in the galaxy that I couldn't be sure I wasn't just somewhere the Empire hadn't yet managed to get its hands on.

Yes, I see what you mean.

[Obi-Wan felt himself fortunate that he came across people here he felt he could trust. However, he still didn’t feel confident enough to broadcast his real name. Perhaps in time.]

Though I suppose it doesn’t matter if they’re no longer here.

Yeah... I guess not.

[Same with the others from their galaxy, he supposes. He's got mixed feelings on the matter. There's just something about finding out people who were here just suddenly aren't, any more. Cal shakes his head, shrugging.]

[Its not a feeling Obi-Wan is entirely unfamiliar with. After all he lost all of his friends in the span of a day. As did Cal.]

Well, I thank you for the demonstration. Though I shall not take up any more of your time as I’m certain you’re busy.

[Obi-Wan moved to go, but hesitated a moment before looking back to Cal.]

Though if you ever wish to join me, I wouldn’t mind having a bit of company during my meditations.

Oh, it's fine. Glad you stopped by.

[He blinks at the offer then, smiling a bit.]

You know, I think I'll take you up on that some time. I'll see you around, Ben.

[Pleased to hear that, Obi-Wan dips in a polite bow, as was the Jedi way.]

Until then, may the Force be with you, Cal.

[He then quietly goes on his way, his cloak sweeping behind him as he does so.]
