    Summary

    Tamah qa brok vaversi, ji enoah qa mikodail orhma bika.
    Outside it is cold, but we are all warm together here.
    -A Jedi Saying, from Dai Bendu

    Abruptly trapped and stranded on an unpopulated planet behind enemy lines, and poised to remain stuck there for the foreseeable future, Obi-wan Kenobi has a lot of time on his hands and a single connection to the outside world to speak with. Unfortunately, it only works one way. The rest of the galaxy gains an open line to the unfiltered thoughts of one of its most famous Jedi Masters.

    Or, meditations of a man sitting at rock bottom.

    Summary

    All in all, this was not the worst day Jaster had ever had. Sure, it wasn’t good - betrayal, death, and failure would do that - but he had also gained a son. He would go the lengths of the universe if it meant that fact didn’t change.
    --
    Jaster Mereel survives Korda VI, but it's a long road to Mandalore. Unbeknownst to him, his survival will change a great many things in the galaxy.

    Summary

    Cody gets the news halfway through the night-cycle, roused from an uneasy sleep because his comm device is throwing a fit. He has half a mind to introduce the cheap plastoid casing to the steel wall of his bunk, at some speed. He settles for hitting the display button with more force than currently called for.
    The source of the irritating buzz becomes immediately clear. One of his batchmates, the one Cody gets the pleasure of seeing far less than he’d like, is trying to call him, blowing up their private message channel all the while. Cody picks up.

    “I, ah,” Fox begins. He glances at something behind Cody that the holocall doesn’t pick up. “Might have killed the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, vod.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Wonderful. Great writing. Knew I would probably bookmark this at the In Out near the start. Great purposeful sentence variation. Love the tea metaphor.

    This will be rereadable.
