[It’s been a tense week of disguises, stealth, and unsuccessful network hacking attempts, but as the days continue to pass without incident, Zam is beginning to think all of this was a false alarm. Yes, the Jedi from Coruscant are on the ship, possibly along with the senator, but for whatever reason, the Ingress seems to have forgotten about Jango. Neither his name nor his face have appeared on the directory, which means he either isn’t here or he never got his MID. Never hurts to double-check though, and since he won’t be checking the network in either of those situations...]

Just so we’re clear, no one’s seen a human male in blue and silver armor among the newcomers, have they? If you do, you should let me know. Immediately.

Also, to the two or three people now on the ship who are acquainted with me from back home: we’re all in the same situation here -- I don’t want to be here, you don’t want to be here, and I also don’t want you to be here. Let’s not make a bad situation worse by digging up past disputes.

Speaking of which, has anybody figured out how to change your display name on this kriffing thing?

Likewise, Zam Wessell. [Well. Sort of. Look, she's being polite.]

It'll be better when I can get back to it. I have a war to win.

[backsassin]

A war? Between who?

[imahologram]

They aren't entities you'll be familiar with. The empire that destroyed the Republic, and a rebel group trying to return democracy to the galaxy.

[backsassin]

”Destroyed the Republic?” Is that what happened during the Clone Wars? [Stars, how much did Zam miss?]

[imahologram]

Among other things.

[backsassin]

Such as…?

[imahologram]

An impressive death toll, rampant political confusion, and enough burying of the truth that my father lived through it and I still can't tell you exactly what happened from start to finish. It was ugly, even by the standards of war, and it left us with a government that works against the people, not for them.

[backsassin]

Sounds like I got out just in time then.

[imahologram]

You could say that.

[Is dying really preferable to surviving a war, though?]

It was a hard time, from everything I've heard.
