What planet are you from?

Feel free to include sector, star system, everything. Just in case.

I thought this might be a good place to start as far as gathering information goes.

No you're fine!

And yeah, apparently very advanced space travel compared to everyone else here.

Alderaan and Coruscant?

Coruscant's the capital of the the Empire, and it used to be the capital of the Republic. It's a Core World and kinda considered the center of the galaxy. Plus, the whole planet's one huge city.

Alderaan's another Core World and I hear it's really pretty. I've never been to either planet so there's not much I can say besides that. They've both got humans? But humans live all over the galaxy so that's not saying much

Yeah this whole thing is creepy

It might be useful to get a head count though I have no idea how we'd go about actually doing that?

I know some stuff about tech, but it's usually like working on a ship, gathering old parts, stuff like that.

I wonder if it's possible for people to make multiple accounts on here though? Like one's linked to your comlink, but what if you also used the terminals? Or stole someone else's comlink?

[merging]

It's already got an account attached to it, so I'm not sure. We'd need to find a new com or someone who hasn't used the network yet.

But pretty much everything is technically worth a shot????

F1N3 W1TH M3!

[True to her word, Terezi ambles her way to the cafeteria and sets up shop near the entrance, kicking her feet and twirling her comm device around a finger as she waits.

It suddenly occurs to her that she has no idea what "palpatine" looks like.

It's not really a big deal? But boy does she feel silly right about now. She probably should have hashed that out earlier.]

[merging]

[Probably would've been smart to establish a code phrase or something. Although then he'd be saying "It's a long way to Alderaan" to everyone who walked through so... this works too. But when he reaches the cafeteria, it looks like there's someone already waiting by the entrance. And someone not human too.]

Uh... hi. Are you gallowsCalibrator?
