[For the past few weeks, Obi-Wan has hardly come out of the Temple except to work for Fai. What has he been doing, you may ask? 30% meditation, 70% project. As a matter of fact, he's parked near that project right now. If the grease smudges all over his face and hands and the wide, pleased grin on his face are any indication, it's obvious he's been working with machines. He's nowhere near the genius Anakin is with them, but he knows his way around them well enough-- and he's had plenty of help.]

Hello there. It's been a while, hasn't it?

As you can see, I've been working on a bit of a project with some of the mechanics here in the Jedi Temple. [He turns the feed around, showing various scraps of metal on the ground, then a gummi ship that has obviously had some work done to it. Jedi work. It looks significantly buffed up and streamlined. Some fellow Jedi can still be seen, making minor adjustments and adding some finishing touches.] We have a great deal of technology available to us and with the problems we've been facing recently, it may become necessary to pilot these ships during a heartless attack. We have starfighters here, certainly, but gummi ships are better equipped to travel between worlds. We thought it would be in our best interest if we could learn how to modify your gummi ships with our technology.

It took quite a bit of elbow grease, but we managed to integrate a force field generator and more potent weapons systems into the ship. It has also been modified to fly faster for aerial combat. We've just taken it for a test drive and it works fantastically! There are still some things we need to perfect, but I wanted to gauge the interest of anyone who might want one of their own.

[Private to Qui-Gon]
Before you wonder what in the stars I did to our gummi ship, it works the same as it did before, I promise! There are just a few extra buttons, really. I'm headed home soon-- we can take it for a spin if you like.

[After a moment, Obi-Wan's expression simmers to one more serious and earnest.]

And Master-- I've... had time to reflect on some things. I would like to speak to you. It seems as if we haven't had much time to discuss things what with everything going on and now that I've had time to meditate... [He trails off, then adds:] I think it would be good to get it out of the way.

[Private to Tidus]
Tidus, how are you doing? Have things gotten any better?

[He's worried about you, bro.]

[The Blitzball Player stares and starts to beam, clearly impressed.] Whoa, Obi-Wan, I had no idea...that's incredible! I'd love to pilot one of those! It looks a lot cooler now.

I'm okay. [He smiles, more cheerfully than he has in a while.] They've gotten better. I'm still not sure what I'm doing, but as long as my friends are around, it's a lot better.

You think so? [His smile grows a bit wider.] I'm pretty proud of our work, myself. Do you have a gummi ship of your own? We'd be happy to modify it for you.

That's good to hear. [And it really is, too! Obi-Wan looks relieved.] I'm sure you'll figure it out in time. Any other good news?

You should be. You're really clever. I do. How much does it cost?

Nothing really specific, but things are better in general.

Oh-- no, no. If anyone is clever, it's the mechanics who helped me build it. I would still be jabbing at the thing with tools if it weren't for them. [He considers for a moment.] Well, we typically refuse to let people pay us. Money is not an important part of our lives. As long as those interested intend to use the ship only for fighting heartless and not taking lives, we'll gladly make it at no cost.

Very good. You know, I never did get those blitzball lessons from you.
