[ The network ID attached to this one says "Commander Jeroen Akobi," advertising his military rank even though he forewent the Imperial uniform just about as soon as he was set loose upon this planet. Instead, there appears a handsome man in his forties in smart casual attire, haircut just the long side of regulation, facial hair game on point. He's got an affable smile on his face, though it doesn't quite reach his eyes. ]

These jobs they assign you when you arrive are a joke, right? I mean, I'm no specialist, but I've got more marketable skills than "mustache model." Are there any procedures in place for putting in a request for a new position? Because posing for pictures might be a good way to make some side money, but I'd prefer something that actually requires some thought and effort.

[generalgrievous]

Indeed. I do not have mine either, although they did allow one lone lightsaber.

[With a catch. It only appears and can be used when he's a cyborg. Here, he can also transform into a human or his original alien body.]

[ralltiir]

You have a lightsaber with you?

[ He's never seen one up close before. ]

[generalgrievous]

Yes, of course.

[ralltiir]

I have to say, that is impressive.

[generalgrievous]

It would be more impressive if I had the rest of my collection.

[ralltiir]

Yes, that would be a sight to see. But you shouldn't dwell on what you can't have. It's not healthy.

[generalgrievous]

So I have been told.

[Although unrelated to his lightsabers.]

[ralltiir]

[ O...kay...

Could the whole Clone Wars have been avoided if someone had told Grievous not to dwell on things he can't have earlier?

(Spoilers: No.) ]

How long have you been here, anyway?

[generalgrievous]

It has been a standard year and a half.

[ralltiir]

That long?

[ Granted, that's on the shorter end of the durations 622 had briefed him on, but that's still quite a while to be living on a foreign planet. ]

If I may ask, what year was it when you were last in our galaxy?

[generalgrievous]

[He gives a year that is very close to the end of the Clone Wars.]

[ralltiir]

[ Akobi nods his understanding. ]

Almost twenty years back from my time, then.

[generalgrievous]

There have been others from the future. A future where the Jedi have been destroyed.

[ralltiir]

Yes, that is the future I'm from. Though I hear that isn't quite the case here.

[ TBH He's more worried about the presence of Jedi than he is about talking to the leader of the Droid Army. ]

[generalgrievous]

There have been Jedi here. They do not hold so much sway and power in this world.

[ralltiir]

No. As far as I understand it, no one faction from our galaxy has enough representation to really take a commanding lead over any other.

A stalemate, of sorts.

[generalgrievous]

Some have atttempted to gain the upper hand, such as Count Dooku. He led a rebellion of sorts against the government.

[ralltiir]

Count Dooku? Of Serenno? He is here?

[generalgrievous]

Yes, he has been here for many years.

[ralltiir]

I see.

[ Definitely doing nothing to shake his theory that this is where people end up when they die. ]

[generalgrievous]

I would advise you to keep your distance from his corrupt ways.

[ralltiir]

I'm not looking to associate with any Jedi, former or no.

[generalgrievous]

That is wise of you.

[ralltiir]

So... Any other advice for a new imPort like me?

[generalgrievous]

Observe. Keep your eyes open, make your own decisions and do not be influenced by others.
