Greetings everyone. For those that I have not yet met, my name is Ben Kenobi and I am a recent arrival to this planet.

[The image is of one very calm and serene looking Jedi who is sitting cross legged in some random place around the city. He had been doing some meditating before deciding to officially make his presence known on the network for the first time.]

Now that I have settled in as well as one can, I have been considering the matter of these data points. I believe it would be useful for me use one. The question is which? That is what I’m hoping you might help me with. It seems to be an important decision.

So I am asking. Where is our community lacking? I wish to be of most use to everyone here. So I’m hoping you might give me feedback so that I can make a decision accordingly. How can I contribute best to our little society? Do we need medics? Pilots? Or something else? Please do let me know what you think.

Know what we're lacking? Cooks. Be great if we could have a good cook- wait, I don't think there's a data-thingy for that. But then how hard can it be to make a... No, never mind, everything would have to be made from scratch. You'd have to find wheat or flour and then make the noodles and then there's the broth. Hell, I don't even know if there's decent spices here!


((OOC: Think it'll be easier to retcon these two? Also I realized that Exos would probably ping as alive on the Force radar.))

Unfortunately, that's one of the few things I don't think I could be of help with. Not that I'm incapable, but I'm afraid you might not like anything I would make as I don't have any talent in that area. Though if someone were willing to teach me, I suppose I could try.

((OOC: You mean the TDM thread? I think it would have to be retconned since they were on a ship that Obi wasn't assigned to lol.))

[deal_me_in]

Heh, if we had some expert cooks I wouldn't be bringin' it up. Unless of course they're keeping quiet about it.

[The Exo shrugs.]

Anyway! Just a suggestion. I don't keep much track of who all's touched what data-thingy. Personally I've steered clear of them so far. We might be a bit short on pilots. Lost a couple of 'em since we got back from the Agrii ship, including our temperamental one with all the hair and the fancy sword.

((OOC: Haha, yeaaah... A shame, I liked that thread!))

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

Well, perhaps I can teach myself then. With everything comes practice, right?

[Hopefully people can stomach it.]

A fancy sword?

((OOC: ME TOO! I was hoping he would get assigned to that ship so we could keep the thread but alas.))

If you're doing this to make me jealous, it's working.

[hadthehighground]

[Text? Okay then. He can oblige.]

My dear Tony, what could possibly make you jealous of me?

[text]

[in_extremis]

[Tony has his proclivities.]

Your beard, for starters, but that's not what I meant. Unless that's what you want to get into. I'm flexible.

[text]

[hadthehighground]

Are we starting a list now?

Though I’ll take that as a compliment. You have a fine beard yourself, you know.

Our ship doesn't have a pilot, if that is something you want to do. But you don't need to take one if you don't trust it.

[hadthehighground]

I have no reason not to trust it. From what I hear they’re very useful and we can use all the help we can get I believe.

Piloting is something I’m already familiar with. Though I hear that these ships are different and complicated. That you can’t pilot one without the knowledge from the data point.

[seeingscarlet]

It isn't a good idea to try. If you are lucky it will not work and if not...

[She winces.]

My friend tried to use one of the Agrii guns without the security data point. It backfired and hurt him.

[hadthehighground]

I see.

[That certainly does not sound good. All the more reason to use these data points before trying to use any of this strange technology.]

Well then I’ll be sure to give this some careful thought.

There are only two of us actively carrying agriculture right now. Which isn't bad because, you know, I'm fucking amazing, but it's a lot when I'm also trying to run the diner and do other shit.

More hands are good.

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

[That earns Tommy an amused chuckle.]

I do have to commend you on your little garden on the ship. That is no small feat.

If you ever need any help with your diner, I would be happy to help. Though as I’ve already told someone else, cooking isn’t one of my talents. Yet I’m willing to learn.

[doubled_speed]

Tony Stark designed one of the sets. The other one was a gift from a guy that isn't even here anymore.

[Cooking is hardly one of Tommy's talents either.]

We'd be blind leading the blind on cooking.

[hadthehighground]

But you have tended it and kept it going. That’s the important thing.

Ah. Well then I suppose we could learn together.

[Video]

[wearingthestars]

We could definitely use more medics. Or agriculture...people? [He gives a flustered laugh.] I guess it depends what your background is? And you can always switch, so- if you aren't liking it, or we suddenly need more pilots, you're not tied down or anything.

I'm Billy, by the way. Nice to meet you.

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

It’s a pleasure to meet you as well Billy.

In fact, I was hoping to speak with you. I hear that you’re the resident medic?

[Video]

[wearingthestars]

Kind of by accident, but yeah, that's me. Do you have medical experience? We could definitely use more people, especially if you actually know what you're doing. I'm doing my best but-

[He gives a shy short of shrug.]

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

I have some healing abilities, though I’m afraid it was never my specialty. Aside from that I do know some basic first-aid.

Though that’s not all I wish to discuss with you, and I would rather do so privately.

[Video]

[heeeyadora]

Security lets you have a big gun.

[Cue a way too eager grin.]

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

[That grin is definitely a little disconcerting!]

Then I’m afraid I will have to cross that one off the list.

I’m not terribly fond of guns, and I already have my weapon of choice.

[Video]

[heeeyadora]

[Who wouldn't want a big gun?? Her ears tilt in confusion, before a curious look overtakes her.]

What kind of weapon?

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

[Like he did with Cayde, Obi-Wan holds up a strange metallic cylinder. It’s glowing blue blade coming to life as he activates it.]

A lightsaber. It’s a plasma energy sword.

[beholding_archivist]

Oh, well. Hello again, Ben.

[ Jon pauses a moment after that, considering. ]

I mean- That depends on where your strengths are, I suppose. And... What you feel comfortable doing?

[ He's speaking from experience, having tried three data points so far and went from feeling misplaced to feeling as useless as never before. ]
