[Hey, it's Luke Skywalker, sitting at his pastel desk. There's plenty of junk littered on it, mostly scraps of droid parts and tools, but the inquisitive observer will notice a few mystery vials of colorful chemicals, and a hypo of fast-penta scattered among the rubble.]

I noticed there aren't any service droids on the ship-- when I mentioned that to the captains, they said I should... make some? [Luke has a distinct look of 'what have I gotten myself into' on his face.] We definitely need some mouse droids and basic repair droids-- we already have good engineers, but this would help them out in a pinch. Do you think we need gonk droids?

[Well? Do you?]

Have you noticed any droids we could use? A 1B prototype couldn't hurt...

[That's right, request a droid, Luke might be able to make it for you eventually. He's serious. Though they probably won't have much in the way of lively personalities, who doesn't want a robot?]

Oh- and Doctor Yewll? Mr Banner? Ed? I know we discussed some kind of prosthetic... if I'm going to be making droids, I might need that sooner than later. [He kind of cringe smiles before cutting the feed.]

[Rosethorn doesn't have to hesitate and correct which hand she gives Luke because the gesture hasn't become habit yet. Handshakes are as new to her as all the technology aboard the Moira is. She reaches out with her own left hand because it makes sense given the one Luke's offering her.

Calendula beeps a quiet greeting.]

You mentioned irrigation before. Are you from a desert?

[t65]

[Luke nods.]

We were moisture farmers, but my aunt was a hydroponicist. She always wanted to have enough moisture to do real irrigation.

...And then I disappeared for most of May, sorry.

I can't imagine living in that environment. I'm so used to my gardens. I've visited desert countries and tried to bolster their farms, but home is green.

[She looks around the garden gratefully. The plants here are the only reason she hasn't sunk into a pit of deep depression, being off in space rather than having the comfort of earth under her feet. Rosethorn is an earth temple dedicate as well as a plant mage who depends on green things for her magical strength and emotional stability.]
