Saar listens, carefully.
"Hmm," he says. "All it basically tells me upon first hearing it is that we have got to be careful. And we already knew that. Have you had any insight on any of it yet?"

"Well, HEY there, sexy..." sayd Jolanta. "Im just... OH FREAKING BANTHA POODOO! GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
(She just lost a life in her game)
A seeting Jolanta, goes to her storage cupboard, opens it, and pulls out a mannquin. It's a well-designed mannaquin of a person- a Jedi you believe. She activates her sabre.
"Stupid... freaking... GAME!" she yells, and on each word she slashes down into the dummy.

"A Dictator is an ABSOLUTE ruler, Galder," says Kuylen. "Is that how you see yourself, ruling over all?"
A nearby warning light flashes. Kuylen turns to look at it.
"We're nearly there," he says."
"Maybe you should think on it more when you have the time," says Saar. "See if the Force can give you more insight. What you have to do is seperate the chaff from the wheat- all of it probably meant SOMETHING but most of it won't be greatly helpful. I mean, it's interesting that Galder used to check the star records on the Avalar mining platform to see if he could work out what Kuylen was doing but it doesn't really get us anywhere, does it? But there must have been something in there that was very relevant indeed. I am only worried that it was so obscure that you won;t work out what it was until it has happened..."
"Hey!" says Jolanta. "Leave him alone! He's MINE..."
At first glance she appeared to be playing that Holo-chess game from ANH. However, it has been modified for a 'younger audience'- all the monsters have guns and it has turned into a shoot-'em-up.

(I assume all of you will be at the cockpit for the arrival)
The ships pulls out of hyperspace, and the starfield returns. Only not very much of it. You are at the very edge of what can reasonably called the Galaxy- and there are far fewer stars to see.
The world in front of you is medium sized and a dull brown colour. You are approaching it from its darkside. There are no lights.
"Normal gravity," says Saar, getting a reading on the world. "Surface conditions are tolerable. Looks like there is a problem with the atmosphere though. No sign of life; no structures."
"'Problem?'" says Jolanta. "That sounds vague."
"High winds and a great amount of particulate matter in the air." says Saar. Jolanta looks clueless. Saar sighs. "Dust," he says. "We'll need filter masks if we don't want to be coughing everywhere after ten minutes. It would start wear away the ship as well, but only after a week or two."
"Not a problem," says Kuylen. "What else?" Saar continues to operate the scanner for a while, then he raises an eyebrow.
"Power signatures," he says. "Large ones." You see Kuylen smile. "And... faint hyperspace trails in the atmosphere." At this Jolanta gets up and looks alarmed.
"What?" she says. Saar nods.
"Space travel. Relatively recent."
"Someone has been here already?" she asks.
"Several people. A single ship wouldn't form a trail I can see with this equipment. This is regular use. People go back and forth here... every so often."
"It's not a problem," repeats Kuylen.
