thirty-fourth.

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.

[penniferous]

cant speak either! think maybe tree take it away.

[ice_echani]

[pentaps.]

Perhaps. The tree does many things.

[pompous_today]

You can't speak...? Did something happen?

[ice_echani]

I believe it is the consequence of a memory crystal.

[pompous_today]

I see. How inconvenient.

[He won't ask about her memory here, but may when she gets her voice back, depending on her mood.]

[ice_echani]

Yes, it is most frustrating. It is fortunate that I did my weekly errands yesterday.

[She'd actually like to discuss it because it confused the hell out of her and makes her wonder about her own morals, so he can feel free.]

[desig_survivor]

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?

[stonyfaced]

You're on paperwork duty this week. Otherwise, you're with Youth.

[ice_echani]

[DAMMIT.]

I understand.

[cathar_jedi]

This sounds inconvenient. Know that if you need anything of me, you have only to ask, Handmaiden.

I believe that I understand the meaning of the word, but I do not find this use as a name to be familiar.

[ice_echani]

Thank you, Sylvar. I am hoping that it will not last more than a few days.

The name makes it possible that it would be a warship of some kind, or otherwise a military craft. But it seemed to be a small part of the larger conversation.

[cathar_jedi]

It seems to be the way of things. If you do not wish otherwise, I will call on you later. [Which just means she'll show up for sparring/practice. And maybe finally tell Handmaiden that she's got a red ticket; she only realized that it changed recently and hasn't put that on the journals.]

I can recall little if anything of fleets, so I am of little help here. [She'd have possibly heard the name before, but unlike Rogue her job doesn't involve studying ships, capabilities, and crews in detail, so it doesn't really stick.]

[ice_echani]

Very well. I am still able to fight and train with you, and at least communicate in that way.

It seemed to be a small part of the memory, but something worth asking about. Thank you in any case.
