[ Noh-Varr actually appreciates that attitude--so many humans on the crew seem to think that their way of thinking applies to everyone around them. ]

That's a good instinct to have, to be honest. From what I understand, Vriska's species is quite diverse in its capabilities. They practice a kind of genetic engineering.

No its very rare. I'm the last one. Ben comes from a time before we were all wiped out
[ There's a hesitating pause before his next reply. What he wants to ask about is, as per his usual itching curiosity about foreign worlds, Luke's history, the Clone Wars, the Force. But reading that reply, he figures that might not be what Luke needs. On the one hand, he didn't know Obi-Wan that well, and doesn't want to intrude; on the other, clearly Luke did, and he's recovering from a major psychic wound. It'll cost Noh-Varr nothing to check up, at least. ]
like I said he is dead in my time. and just before I came here I completed the task he had been training me for

I miss him and I wish him well but I don't think second chances are in the will of the Force
[Really, Luke is starting to suspect him having any mentors or teachers isn't in the will of the Force, but that's another matter entirely. A thoroughly ominous, terrifying matter, one that Luke would prefer not to think about right now.]

You felt her? So she didn't ask.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I think it's just her. Why?
[ imouto................................ ]
no subject
no but if she had I don't think it would have worked
[Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, honey.]

I was just curious! there are a few species I've never encountered here I don't want to make any assumptions

oh! that would explain it I think. there isn't much genetic modification where I'm from after the clone wars people usually think it's a bad idea.

The name says it all, I think. Whose clones?
no subject
I'm not the best person to ask I think! I don't know much about history

they were the republic's clones. my father fought along side them and Obi-Wan Kenobi if you knew him when he was here
no subject
I did meet Obi-Wan.
[ Maybe Luke will get to see him again. Just not...soon. Or with his memories intact. Or at all. ]

Is the Force a common ability in your world?

He was a good man.

[Really more of an open pamphlet.]
FROM: skywalker.luke@cdc.org
yes. he was my first mentor in the Force. he showed me that I had the same abilities as my father

I wish I had known him better. he was an old man when i met him and he died very soon after
no subject
You must miss him.
[ No shit??? ]
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
I'm sorry he was transferred. We only spoke a few times, but I found him both competent and kind.
no subject
I do.
FROM: skywalker.luke@cdc.org
he was a very kind man. and wise. it makes sense that he's gone but I'm sorry he's left also

Makes sense? You think he was needed elsewhere?
