[ She'll break her month long network radio silence today, though it was never radio silence as she'd been lurking and responding through private conversations. Now she'll address the network as a whole, prepared or not for who might respond. ]

This is a question for everyone, the only exception being those who share with me the same galaxy.

Where you're from, what did you do? Did you live your life freely? Were you in charge of anything or anyone?

For me, there has been nothing but a war. It was all I knew. And now that I'm here, I admit I'm at a loss on what I should do with myself. I feel as though I'm living a quiet life, something I never thought possible. But it feels like a life without direction.

Should I take this time to reflect and relax? How?

It's a difficult concept to grasp when I've been at the front for so long, leading and guiding teams and missions.


[ If this outs her then Leia won't care so much. It's obvious by her involvement back home that she's at the head of the Rebellion. Nothing can come of it here and nothing can come of it back home, from what she's been told. ]

This isn't about being bored. I'm not. I'm simply not used to sitting around as often as I am now. Being left to your thoughts for so long, your thoughts can quicky become your enemy.

You're asking the hard questions today, huh?

I'm a scientist. A grad student technically, but I'm taking a leave to deal with some other stuff right now. I thought I was able to live my life freely, but that sort of wasn't the case. It's complicated. Like, mysterious island of science complicated.

I definitely think you should take this time to relax. Spend time with your family and friends, you've got some of those here, right? And maybe figure out what you like to do when you are able to live your life however you want. You can find your own direction.

The war was your direction your whole life? That's... Intense. No wonder this place seems too quiet for you. It's probably hard to take a break, but that's what I'd try to do. Or like I said, find a new direction, even if it's only temporary.
