[Have a semi-nude woman who is only visible from the shoulders and up in the hologram. She's surprisingly calm despite wearing nothing but her undergarments with her hair loosely curled and long around her shoulders.This is Senator Padmé Amidala of the Galactic Republic. If there is anyone there and listening who might know of what has happened,

[Oh, she's pretty!]

This is Imperial Center! ...Or Coruscant.

The droids have clothes. You could borrow the ones in the room first, if you don't want to go looking.

[ofherfate]

Coruscant I'm familiar with as it is where my apartments were located. However, this particular Coruscant I'm not entirely sure of at the moment.

[Padmé offers him a faint smile.]

Thank you, for your help.

[sand_wormie]

It's the same planet. They have a Supreme Chancellor named Cressa, and the Ruusan Reformation [happens about a thousand years before the movies] hasn't happened yet. And it's still the City of Spires. [A touristy name it had until the prevailing architecture changed.]

So for me it's the past. The really far past. Go look up the coordinates if you don't believe me.

[ofherfate]

Supreme Chancellor Cressa? Ruusan Reformation? [Now these things Padmé is a little more familiar with over the name 'Darth Revan'. She looks on curiously.]

And what of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine?

[sand_wormie]

The Empe-

Oh, right, you're from before that... Well, he hasn't, uh, happened yet either. I don't think he's here.

[ofherfate]

[She won't question what he corrected himself on.]

Is there no one from my 'time' here? [Besides Obi-wan...]

[sand_wormie]

I don't know. Sorry.

If he's Chancellor, then I'm only... uh... sixteen years ahead of you. At most.

[ofherfate]

This is all very confusing-- you're from the future of my time.

[She's almost afraid to ask what happens. With the Jedi Council, the Senate, everything and everyone. Sixteen years in the future is a long time, over a decade. Certainly something has changed?]

[sand_wormie]

And there are a lot of people from after me. [With faint irritation] It would be easier to know these things if there was a consistent system of dates, but no...

For me, it's better not to think too much about it. There's enough to do here, as it is.

[ofherfate]

Considering how we all came together, yes. I agree.

I don't believe I caught your name earlier. [It's probably better to redirect his mind to some calmer matters. Like maybe a nice and simple, easy introduction.]

[sand_wormie]

Oh, sorry! I'm Luke Skywalker. Pleased to meet you.

COMMENCING BRAIN BREAK..........

[ofherfate]

[It takes Padmé a moment as the name sets in. Skywalker. Skywalker. Luke Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker. Shmi Skywalker Luke Skywalker...]

The pleasure is all mine. Luke.

I am... good friends with someone who bears the same last name as you.

[Too bad the time lines aren't matching up if this kid is sixteen years in her and Anakin's future...]

Re: COMMENCING BRAIN BREAK..........

[sand_wormie]

[And someone else who's taken aback by his name. Luke doesn't sigh, but he wants to.]

Yeah? It's not too rare a name in my home sector. There's even a Skywalker wine... I think I'm the only one called that on my part of Tatooine, though.

...Soo, have the wars been going on long, for you? You know which ones I mean?

[ofherfate]

You may be, yes. I met Anakin Skywalker and his mother, Shmi, many years ago. They too were from Tatooine.

[Dun dun dun. The possibility of them being related? Padmé can't exactly tell. Both having sandy blond hair, who knows... that could just be from being out in the sun all the time.]

It's... possible? It may be a bit hard to know as you're sixteen years in the future from my time.

[sand_wormie]

[And now it's Luke's turn to look poleaxed.]

What? Seriously?

It might be as many as twenty-four years, now that I think about it. That's when Palpatine became Chancellor, to me. I was thinking of the emergency powers thing. [Which happened at the start of the Clone Wars.]

[ofherfate]

[It might not be visible over the feed but Padmé's tensed up somewhat at the mention of the emergency powers being granted to Palpatine. That was during Geonosis. Ah what memories...

She nods once.]

Yes. It was a battle on Geonosis against the Separatists. It was... also a day I won't easily forget.

But to answer your earlier question: Yes. Now I must ask, are you questioning that they were from Tatooine, or that I know of them?
