[ Apparently, Revan has just finished changing out of the white shift she arrived in; she's found her Jedi robes, and the video feed catches her fastening her belt and checking the various attached pouches, then pinning her hair up out of her face. The flash of the mirror seems to catch her eye, though, and she looks up, blinking at it. ]Well, this

Dantooine?

[ She blinks, caught off guard - how do you not know Dantooine? But Revan is starting to realize that something is off about this situation, and she tamps down her incredulity. ]

It's a planet on the Outer Rim. Looks sort of like this - all grasslands and streams. There's a Jedi Enclave there.

[And most of the other stuff she mentioned completely goes over Winry's head too but she seems absolutely fascinated.]

Wait you mean [give her a second. She may be a scientist but considering they don't even have airplanes in her world this is a little hard to wrap her mind around]

Wait. Wait. [She is having such a brainfart moment right now it's like a seizure]

You mean other planets? [No matter which way Winry tries to interpret that sentence that really seems like what it's saying--or implying, rather]

[ For a moment Revan doesn't know what to say. She just sort of stares. ]

-Yes?

[ A long pause. ]

You didn't know that?

[Winry is in a similar state at first, this is so beyond the scope of anything she could have seen in her lifetime--perhaps even conceived of]

[But it quickly turns to complete and utter excitement and interest]

[She shakes her head vigorously]

We don't have that kind of technology where I come from. But I mean---how? What's it like? Do all planets have life?

[memoireperdue]

[ Give Revan a second, she's just starting to wrap her head around the idea that this may not even be the same galaxy. That's the closest thing she can come to a whole different universe at the moment, at any rate.

But then, eventually, she smiles, and laughs a little. ]

There are a lot of planets. And no, not all of them have life. Not all of them can support it.

[ She pauses. Revan has never had to explain this to anyone before. She hasn't imagined even trying. ]

Coruscant is probably the most important - it's the capital world of the Republic. How many worlds in the Republic- [ She shakes her head. ] Scores of planets in the Core Worlds alone. Add the Colonies and there are hundreds. [ She could keep going - the Mid Rim, the Outer Rim - but she thinks Winry might be overwhelmed by the idea of only hundreds of worlds, let alone hundreds of thousands. ]

[fzzzt, overwhelming is right, but Winry is loving it]

[She's looking at her hands and holding them apart as if trying to imagine the sheer volume of what Revan is speaking of. After a moment she kind of gives up because, well, it's impossible]

How do you get from one planet to another?

[memoireperdue]

Hyperdrive. Lets you get from one point to another in the galaxy in... a few days at the most, if you're going from one end to the other. Most hyperdrives don't have the capacity to make that long of a trip, though. Not all at once.

[ Her smile goes a little wistful. ]

I had a ship called the Ebon Hawk. One of the fastest ships in the galaxy. I'm used to being spaceborne.

[ She lives on Coruscant now, and it makes her antsy not being able to up and leave whenever she wants. ]
