007 ☄ [Video]

[Padmé looks every bit as frazzled and tired as she is; she hadn't expected such an attack, and it's been hard to keep up with it. But at the first sign of a lull, her first thought is on everyone else instead of herself.]

Is everyone all right? If any of you need assistance, please let me know. I'd like a report of how each world is faring. There may not be enough of us to save all of the worlds, but we'll save what we can.

I eagerly await news from you--

[She doesn't really have a chance to completely end her sentence; she's right back to aiming her blaster to take out another heartless with a well-aimed shot.]

We can't get separated, Padmé!

[Amidst all the confusion and his loss of the Force, protecting Padmé is more important than ever and something he can hold onto.]

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

We can't ignore people that need help, either.

[Video]

[skywalkers]

We would be more helpful to them if we stick together-- how am I supposed to protect you if I don't know what happens?!

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

[She smiles at that.] Don't worry. I won't just run off.

[She'd kiss him if she could, just to reassure him, but for now her smile will have to be enough. What was it he always said to her?]

Trust me.

[Video]

[skywalkers]

I trust you, Padmé.

[But did he trust himself?]

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

Then everything'll be all right. We survived one battle together; we'll survive more. At least this time you and Artoo can't get yourselves into trouble.

[He decides better of answering the first question.. but addresses the second.]

I doubt anyone-

[There's a noticeable pause]

- has the time to make a comprehensive report. [The worlds were swarming with heartless, who knew to what extent] Be careful.

[tippedthescales]

That may be true, but...we need to save what we can. How are you holding up?

Video

[no_souls_here]

Indeed. As well as can be expected.

It looks like you have the situation under control where you are.

[tippedthescales]

It could be better. We lost one of ours just before the attack, but we're not in as dire need as some of the other worlds.

[Oz looks a little tired, sword in one hand and the device in the other, but thankfully the numbers of Heartless right now were low.]

Deep Jungle is faring well, the gorillas are helping to protect there home and I'm trying my best to keep them at bay.

[tippedthescales]

Good, I'm glad you're doing well. If anything changes, let me know. We can try to get you additional help.

Keep up the good work.

[exsistingismysin]

I'll let you know if there are changes.

[tippedthescales]

Thanks. [She manages to find a smile.] Be safe out there.

[obiwankenobi]

If you insist on going, we stand a better chance together. I'll go with you.

[It's just Obi-Wan being a worry-wart. He can't help it.

[video]

[tippedthescales]

If we can do something to stop it, we can't let innocent people die, Obi-Wan. But...I'm hesitant to abandon this world, too. What will the townspeople do? They don't have their own defenses.

[She takes a moment to lean against a small outcropping she's found so she can catch her breath.]

If we had more time to plan...

[She has a lot of 'if's, but they always ran through her mind at times like this.]

Our fate should be the same as those of this planet. We should start trying to round up what people we can find so we can protect them. That's all I know to do.

[halfmadcopy]

You can't save everyone, Senator. If you take it upon yourself to do the impossible, be ready for the repercussions.

[video]

[tippedthescales]

That may be true, but we have to try. At the very least, our fate should be the same as that of these people.

[video]

[halfmadcopy]

[That answer seems to satisfy him.]

Then I'll do what I can here.

[video]

[tippedthescales]

Thank you, Leroy. [She finds a smile somewhere amidst the chaos for him.] You're a good man.
