[It might not be all that strange for someone wearing a mask to appear on the network; it might be a little strange for a mask covering the entire top half of someone's face, including his eyes. Not that Kanan seems at all concerned by this fact - he looks pretty relaxed, his attitude almost flippant. ]

I gotta wonder about a world with the technology to bring people in from other galaxies, but where no one can even get off-planet. Does that seem a little backwards to anyone else? Or nah.

[ He waves it off. ] At least tell me there's a decent dojo around here.

[ A pause. ]

Oh, right. I'm Kanan Jarrus.

Technically, it's not their technology. They don't know where it came from.

[ Video ]

[kanyounot]

Yeah, that... that makes it worse.

[knaval]

RIGHT?! This place has hovercars but hasn't even been to their own moon?! What the hell!!

[deosil]

Isn't taking supposed to be easier than giving something back?

[ Which sounds like an unhelpful oversimplification of the situation, because it is, but she's working on magic rules here. ]

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

It really does.

very irresponsible.

[kanyounot]

I'm actually a little concerned, here. Do they have antibiotics at least?

audio :

[kanyounot]

Technologically speaking, they should be about the same.

[ Video ]

[kanyounot]

It really is. I mean, I wouldn't hand a blaster to a kid without telling them how to use it safely first. Where are the instruction manuals?

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

There were none but they figure how to turn it on and work with it the year after the Porter was found.

audio :

[deosil]

How much luck would you have putting the pieces back together of several puzzles brought in at random?

[ Video ]

[kanyounot]

And knowing how to turn it on means they totally knew how to use it.

audio :

[kanyounot]

Assuming it's actually random, which it may not be. They should at least be able to reverse-engineer it to figure it out.

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

Of course not. But it meant they could learn. And so they did.

They even used that technology to create teleport technology for themselves.

[ Video ]

[kanyounot]

It strikes me as putting the speeder before the tauntaun, especially since their Porter is still kidnapping people.

audio :

[deosil]

But doesn't their lack of knowledge imply they might be borrowers?

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

The Porter was under their control until 2010, when they shut it off and it was meant to remain so. It turned itself on in 2014, after it was possessed by Lachesis.

[ Video ]

[kanyounot]

Yeah, that makes it even worse.

audio :

[kanyounot]

Yeah, clearly the technology isn't actually theirs, which makes it even worse that they ever tried using it, honestly.

audio :

[deosil]

I get you're being sarcastic, but maybe it's not so simple?

audio :

[kanyounot]

I'm not being sarcastic, actually, I'm being judgmental. If I were being sarcastic, I would've said something like, "playing with technology you don't understand is a great idea."

[ Okay, Kanan, turn off Teacher Mode any time. ]

Anyway, I'm sure none of it is simple, I'm just being grouchy about being kidnapped.

audio :

[deosil]

Maybe they don't have a choice?

[ This guy... was all Chise could think as the bitter taste of his words were almost palpable. ]

If you had to reason with a wildfire, would you ask it to be prudent?

There's a dojo in De Chima called Nujedha.

Also, uh -

Does the word 'Spectre' mean anything to you?

audio :

[kanyounot]

[ To be fair - he's basically in full Teacher Mode now. You might as well be Ezra. Which is a compliment! ]

Technology isn't an unstoppable force of nature. Someone made it - and right now I'd like to have a talk with whoever did, as unlikely as that is to happen.

[ The notification that he's been sent a private message definitely piques his interest. He's about to thank the stranger for the information on the dojo, when he drops that callsign.

Interesting. ]

My callsign with my crew back home is Spectre One. How do you know that word?

[ Kanan hasn't heard the man's voice before - though that doesn't necessarily make him suspicious. ]

audio :

[deosil]

It's not just technology!

[ Chise blisters then immediately falters, ]

I'm sorry, it's just - I know tech is hampered, but this doesn't feel like it. Not altogether.
