[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.]

[Afraid I don't remember how Anakin drives.
Eagle likes to fly fast and push his machines to the limit of their abilities and he can at times be reckless about it. But, since this machine doesn't belong to him and is basically a prototype of hybrid gummi ships he will try to take it a bit easier. Besides he does have a passenger to watch out for.
Even then the initial acceleration might push Obi-wan back into his seat as Eagle takes over the pilot's chair and directs the craft out into space. ]
How many test flights has this ship been on? I wouldn't want to push it too far.
[He tries a few very simple maneuvers, dodging to the left and then back to the right. ]
It does handle very well. You must have done something to the gummi ship controls to make it respond faster?
[Action]
About three. The mechanics were with me the first two times, but this last was by myself. We worked out the kinks in the system within the first couple of runs, but I'd still advise you to be cautious if you intend to test its limits.
[Mainly, Obi-Wan doesn't want you to hurt his baby.]
Ah-- that was my toying with it prior to any of this modification business. I was experimenting with different gummi blocks and I found some that allowed for better handling, actually.
[Action]
Eagle spares a glance over at his co-pilot with a wry smile.]
You read my mind. Testing the limits of your machine was just what I was wondering about.
[Pilots. They probably had both had the same thought while trying this modified gummi ship out for the first time. ]
I'll be gentle with it.
[As... gentles as a few barrel rolls and loops with ever increasing speed are. Eagle decides against pushing the machine into the red 'danger zone' however. There was no reason to burn the craft out on only it's 4th time out.
Instead with his curiosity now satisfied he turns the gummi ship to head back to the dock. ]
You and your engineers have done a really fine job with this. Now did you say something about 'gauging the interest'? I think many people would be very highly interested in this.
[And Eagle would be one of the first in line for one. ^^]
