I have found myself unable to speak a single word today, although it seems that I have no difficulties with writing.

I believe I will still be able to carry out some of my duties as a Watchman despite this.

Is the name "Harbinger" familiar to anyone? I believe it may be a ship.

Yeah. That... sounds like some kind of warship.

[Oh, Star Wars. Why so many ships by that name? He's thinking of this one, though.]

[ice_echani]

[pentaps.]

That seems plausible. Do you think you know anything more?

[desig_survivor]

[It takes him quite a while to answer.]

Understand that this is basically speculation. I'm giving my impressions, making very general statements to myself and going on whether they feel "right" or not.

But - a large ship, and an important one. With most ships there's a balance of speed, firepower, and sturdiness, and this one would favor defense. Though speed and firepower aren't shirked, either.

Someone's flagship. Maybe. Someone I think well of, or maybe it's just the ship.

[Pause, almost long enough that it seems like he's done] And... water. That doesn't make sense, I know.

[ice_echani]

I see. [tap tap. that's quite a bit of information, but she's not sure if any of it lines up with her instincts.] I do not know if any of this feels "right" to me--the ship was mentioned as being lost. Does that match your own impressions?

[desig_survivor]

[More pausing. To him, Harbinger is actually at least two ships; Garm Bel Iblis's new Mon Cal flagship and an Imperial Star Destroyer. Probably more.]

Lost... As in destroyed, or absent without leave and can't be tracked down?

If it's destroyed, no. Absent... I'm not sure. [Because Bel Iblis is a sneaky bastard, and the movements of Star Destroyers aren't always known to the enemy.]

[ice_echani]

I described it as "lost in transit," but I have no other context than that. It could be any of those.
