[Video] Arrival

[generalgrievous]

[Was that a mask? The visual shows what appears to be some sort of skeletal alien mask and the voice that accompanies it sounds oddly mechanical. Some here may recognize the cyborg General, even if just from historical records. While arriving as human, he'd quickly discovered his powers of transformation from the files he was given then after some brief experimenting he settled on the one he'd last been most familiar with. At least for now.]

Citizens. Heroes.

[The emphasized word seems to catch in his throat and there's a brief cough before he continues with an underlying growl to his tone.]

This is an unfortunate development. I was interrupted in the midst of a critical battle. I do not have time to deal with your little world's problems.

[The words are interrupted again by more coughing then an annoyed growl before the video cuts out abruptly.]

Percival Graves, wizard.

[generalgrievous]

Wizard? Are you one of those who fix starships?

[gravedangers]

[There is a soft scoff]

No, a very different definition. But I've been informed we are able to return to a specific point in time, no matter how long we may linger in this...place.

[generalgrievous]

[He does know about a type of witch but he hasn't heard the word 'wizard' used in a similar concept.]

So you mean that they are in control and will try to use us as they see fit before sending us back.

[gravedangers]

Oh, no. Not in control. This entire event is more a lesson in unintended consequences.

[generalgrievous]

Explain yourself. What do you mean?

[gravedangers]

These- [muggles]- people meddled in things they shouldn't. Which is why we are here. Everything after is simply them trying to gain some control over chaos.

[generalgrievous]

I see.

[He appears to be silently considering that for a moment.]

[gravedangers]

Tragic, but makes focusing on the children trying to hold it together pointless. We must form our own purpose.

[generalgrievous]

And what purpose do you have in mind?

[gravedangers]

Serving the greater good. But that is for me. What was your purpose, in your world?

[generalgrievous]

To rid the galaxy of the scourge that is the Jedi.

[gravedangers]

The what?

[generalgrievous]

You do not know of the Jedi? They are everywhere. Like vermin.

[At least they were in his time.]

[gravedangers]

They may be a rarer breed in this world. You'll have to explain.

[generalgrievous]

They are a judgmental and arrogant group who think they know what is best for the galaxy. They act before finding out the truth and cause destruction while claiming to be for justice and what is right.

Every last one of them must fall before the galaxy can be at peace.

[gravedangers]

They sound remarkably like a few bureaucrats I know.

But while you're here, you might want to look into a new side-project or two. There can only be so many Jedi on Earth.

[generalgrievous]

I will certainly be looking out for the groups causing the most trouble.

[He's used to being in one war or another. There's always some group to fight against.]

[gravedangers]

If you're looking to build stability, that's a different story.
