observation deck

( stars could tell you a great many things. stars gave you locations, they gave you time. stars told a story.

to river these stars were silent. it wasn't just that they were unfamiliar, a part of space or time that she hadn't visited, but that she can't tell anything about them. her sense for that sort of thing wasn't as refined as the doctor's, a man that could sniff the air and tell you everything around you. river could to an extent but here-- it was strange, an almost repulsive feeling. a fixed point in time?

it didn't stop her lingering, fighting against the feeling to try and find out something. there was always some way of finding out where you were )

the bar

( there was one thing that seemed to be certain wherever river went -- bars were a good source of information. people drank, people talked, sometimes they traded information but always there was something to get... or overhear.

she'd taken a seat at the bar, left hand by the drink that she'd gotten, right resting lightly on her legs. she was starting to feel the pain from the break even more now and whilst river was good at putting it off, focusing on something else, it was distracting. working with one hand, trying not to jostle the other was difficult.

but her mask was solid. to anyone that passes she'll ask, with perhaps a hint of flirtation ) So, how long have you been here?

( she'd gotten a lot of good information from clara. now it was time to find out her own )

medical

( she'd been putting it off for as long as she could. the pain was bearable (it wasn't but she was very good at lying to herself) and river felt like she had more important things to do -- like escaping. but it was a hindrance. only having the use of one hand was slowing her investigating down which was not going to help anyone.

she'd seen the location of medical when she'd been looking at the map, begrudgingly making her way there.

the lab looked a little impressive, fairly modern for the century that she'd noted though how long ago that century was river didn't have an answer for. though it would be just her luck that the place would appear to be empty. she didn't know which of the equipment would be useful to her or how to use it, though it didn't stop river from looking around just in case something happened to be labelled )

Yeah, whoever or whatever brings us here seems keen on not letting us have much of anything from home. Nothing useful, anyway.

[ Someone's a little annoyed at not having his lightsaber! ]

All I can tell you for sure is that we are far, far from any place in the universe that I'm familiar with. Far enough that I can no longer sense my - family.

[ Which should be impossible, but there you go. ]

Yes, that was the impression that I'd gotten.

( looking at the stars had confirmed the feeling that river had or the lack of feeling. there were a few things that didn't add up, a few things that felt almost lacking, but nothing that she wanted to discuss. she didn't have enough answers to properly approach them even if she wanted to )

The power that brought us here is great enough to reach not only across the universe but also across time.

( she'd met someone that certainly wasn't from the same time zone as her, though with both of them being time travellers it complicated things somewhat. still, she'd been in 1938 clara had likely not been )

I've encountered such power before but this doesn't feel familiar.

( whether it's the tactics or the location it's nothing that she knows )

The time thing is especially weird. Someone I know from home is here with me, but he's from my future, talk about disconcerting.

[ Kanan's mouth twists a little at the thought. ]

I don't know of anything that can do that.

Most dont.

( she just happened to have the distinct advantage of being a time traveller. it was almost as if it was in her blood )

Usually it doesn't happen on a scale like this. It makes more sense for people to be taken in larger groups from one place or time. This isn't supposed to make sense.

Well, I'm glad we're agreed on the not-making-sense part.

I mean, obviously something is wrong with this whole station, it's just up to us to figure out what. Presumably doing that will help us get home.

Which would also mean correcting the problem so that others dont find themselves in this situation after we're gone.

( sometimes she hated doing the right thing. it always put her in the situation for longer than she'd like to be )

I assume that we all heard the same message when we woke up?

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

[ He certainly intends to fix this - whatever "this" is - both as a means of getting everyone back home who's been brought here against their will, and presumably to try and save whoever needs saving in this world.

That's what Jedi do. ]

And I think we did. Not that it's very helpful, either.

No. But if it's honest it could give an indication as to their original intentions.

( at least the intentions of the people that built this place. perhaps someone had wanted to save the world. it would be easy to see how it had gone so wrong )

It may be easier finding out what happened than where we are.

It may be. The one could lead to the other. There are always many paths.

[ Sorry, he's still half in a meditative trance - spouting the Jedi stuff comes easier and easier to him, these days. ]

I mean, there are probably at least three, not counting just spacing ourselves.

Which isn't an option.

( unless there were enough space suits for everyone to go outside but even then they would still have limited time on being able to survive )

Whatever answers are outside of this window we need more information for.

Wouldn't want to give anyone ideas, anyway.

[ Suicide by spacing wouldn't be pleasant, anyway. ]

We need to get some sort of communication going. There has to be someone out there, either on the planet, or in this system, or... something.

When we get access.

( which, though they were trying to unlock the systems, they had still found themselves locked out of a majority of systems. it was frustrating, slowing them down, but it would happen )

But there are people there.

Somebody built this place, so yeah, there are. Somewhere. And one or more of them has answers.

[ Kanan shrugs. ]

It wasn't built by gods, so eventually we'll figure out how things work enough to get moving again.

We have to find them first. Their methods are rather more unusual than what I'm used to.

( though maybe that was a consequence of this place rather than the people behind it. she'd need a little more time to figure that one out )

They may not even be on this station. It's possible that they could be monitoring our actions from a distance.

Well yeah, they're no longer on this station. Not that I can tell. Like I said, they're on the planet below, or another planet in this system, or other space stations that we would need to repair the sensors to pick up on. Something like that.

We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

You sound very certain of that.

( whilst river believed that them being elsewhere was a possibility she hadn't ruled out the idea that they may also still be somewhere on the station )

There's much of this station still unknown and locked off.

It's possible I'm wrong, but I've not sensed any sentient lifeforms other than those of us already accounted for on the station. If there are any people in the locked-off parts of the station, they're either somehow cut off from the Force or they can mask their signatures.

If they can do all of this then masking their signatures wouldn't be so difficult.

( as someone from a time more future than this she knew that it was possible... and she tried to keep her own self as hidden as possible, without overwriting her genetics anyway )

Not whilst they're certainly keeping us boxed in.

I'm under the impression few, if any of the people here are Force-sensitive. Doesn't matter what your technology level is, you can't turn off the Force.

Clearly you need to think again about that.

( and considering that river has been cut off from her own reliable sense she's working on the same )

We're here, it's happened, that means that it's possible. And believe me I've seen and done many things that are supposed to be impossible.

[ Kanan's raised eyebrow can probably be seen above his mask. ]

We might be talking about different things, here. Clearly, some impossible things have happened to bring us all here, but I can assure you, the Force hasn't somehow magically been switched off.
