I'm Meetra Surik. I'm new. I'm lost. A few things:

1. I can't believe you guys have more books than digital records. Talk about analog. Can somebody please suggest a good history book to get any idea of where/when/what the hell is going on?

2. How come there are no spaceships? How are you supposed to go to other planets? Are you seriously implying we're stuck here?

3. This whole Hero registration thing. Sell it to me. Why should I? Why should anyone? Would've been nice if I had been asked in the first place.

4. Nonah #2, I need some directions.

5. Is the term "Jedi" familiar to anyone here?

That would be all for now.

For catching up on history, I would suggest these. [ An attached list of names - there's quite a few titles. Not many of them could be considered 'light reading'. ]

Second: we're stuck here, for all intents and purposes, unless you want to ask an imPort who can fly to take you to space. If other planets with other types of life exist, I don't believe it's common knowledge.

Third: You get a nice house and a pre-determined job and paycheck and the government doesn't squint at you quite as hard as they do with the unregistered people. [ Not that he cares about most of those things. He just thinks it's really funny to be considered a hero. ]

[forcewound]

Okay, I'll give these a read. [ And she will, actually. ]

Not even the most backwater inhabited planet I know lacks space ports, but this place hardly looks backwater. I guess this really is some version of the past.

So there is squinting anyway?

[enucleation]

2. Technology is not that advanced yet. So we are indeed stuck on this planet.

3. A lot of people register due to the perks the government offers, such as house, health care, mobility without being randomly searched, mobility outside the country, work and weekly income.

4. You can find a map with your communicator. [ he will be sending instructions on how to find it ]

[forcewound]

Is this at least a nice planet?

Those are not perks, those are basic living conditions. Are "heroes" forced to do something eventually?

Useful. Thanks.

[hostage]

1. Start with this and this

3. Free benefits and you can stop being registered whenever so why not

[forcewound]

I sure love me some light reading. Mind at least give me the short version of what's the general populace's opinion of us?

It seems like it's the best course of action for now then.

Do you still need directions and/or a ride???

I live in Nonah #07!!

[forcewound]

I think I've got it, thanks.

Then I guess I'll see you around, whoever you are.

2. technology on this planet hasn't reached that point but it doesn't matter I've been out a few times and I haven't come across anyone else out there.

3. not registering means cutting yourself off resources for no reason. you're still expected to follow the law and will be treated accordingly so you might as well get the perks along with it.

sure why not

[forcewound]

You've been out. How?

Sounds too simple to actually involve any sort of government. Hmm.

[cuff]

u find out yer not even sposd to leave the states?

[forcewound]

WHAT. NO. SCREW THAT.

WHAT.

permatext; comm tag is "Tadashi"

[tadeadshi]

1. nothing wrong with books but I'm sure someone somewhere is trying to make the conversion happen

2. we're not supposed to leave the US so I don't think they'd take too kindly to us leaving the planet. Plus technology here is still pretty behind

5. Not in the least

Sounds like you got some other good answers for everything else already

[forcewound]

Kudos to them, then.

Wonderful, it keeps getting better and better.

You're not missing out, at least.

Apparently some people are really into helping a newbie.

[quantifies]

This time period is extremely far behind when it comes to t he development of spacecraft. I was disappointed as well.

[forcewound]

At least they have hovercars, although they seem a bit rudimentary as well.

[increscents]

2. Are you implying that you fly around from planet to planet?

3. I'm the last person to try to sell anyone on the whole hero spiel. I'll let someone more enthusiastic than me handle that part.

[forcewound]

All thorough the galaxy, even.

Not a fan then?

[unbreaker]

3. what's to sell? you did notice you're tattooed either way, right? meaning the gov's probably keeping tabs or up to something whether u agree to heroing or refuse. but if u want perks that dont fall under 'basic living conditions' i guess porter travel would be a biggie. getting from point a to point b otherwise takes a shitload of time by foot or train or whatever. the porters are faster, especially during emergencies.

4. im a little familiar with nonah, so id offer to show u the way, but it looks like someone who actually lives pretty close to ur res has already offered.

[forcewound]

Yes, that sounds like one good thing beyond "you get a normal life, but sometimes we'll bother you anyway".

Too much attention and it'll turn into a welcome party, so yeah, I'm good like this.

They tried building a ship and getting off planet once, it went very badly. Trust me when I say it's better they just don't try again. It's disappointing being stuck here but stuck here is better than dead on one of their ancient machines.

[forcewound]

Badly who? Badly as in it didn't take off, or badly as in it was shot down?

5. Statement: Oh, I have an intricate knowledge of Jedi should you need a refresher on the topic.

assuming she can see he is HK? (good god HK get a systems maintenance asap)

[forcewound]

Well. Not that kind of knowledge.

So...this is unexpected?

[melavasomniar]

Still need directions? I live next door, and despite my newness I think I know my way around.

[forcewound]

Don't worry. Chances are I'll see you around anyway.

[puppydoctor]

[George has all the same questions, so forgive him for skipping right to #4]

Nonah #2? I think you're my housemate then.

[forcewound]

Seems to be that way. Are you new as well?

[exsithstential]

...Subtle.

[But there's an undeniable smirk.]

While you haven't technically confessed to anything, do you make a habit of alluding to your status as a jedi on each alien planet you find yourself stuck on?

private - video

[forcewound]

[ She just shrugs. ]

I'm not a Jedi. I got exiled. Twice. And even if there's a chance of me re-joining the Order, I wouldn't.

[purepazaak]

[ Because like hell he is taking the time to type after seeing this. He's happy! He's annoyed! He's missing being stuck on the Hawk and oh whatever. Normal 'why is this mission happening' voice is go. ]

Two minutes in and already with the Jedi talk?

[forcewound]

[ Atton pls. ]

I'm making sure I know who's who around here. It's a totally valid strategy.

[ Jeez! ]]
