[ There's a businesslike voice on the network that only some of you will recognize -- clearly filtered through the translator, and fortunately not interrupted by too many moans. ]

So I imagine I probably know the answer to this, but hope springs eternal: Did anyone else come here with technology?

Not all of my things are useful at the moment, but they do appear to be working. We should continue to keep proper tabs on our collective supplies.

it's not, I only answered yesterday

One would normally use my full name to address me. Chen Wang is another title and it's shorter, most people find it easier to say.

[And then there's Xunxian who calls him 'Moran', but Xunxian is special.]

We can protect those who cannot defend themselves if need be... although most in our little group seem to be doing alright in that regard. I don't think anyone is totally defenseless.

Titles? I see. [ his voice goes a little more dry ] In that case, know that you are speaking to Darth Imperius, Chen Wang. I will try to be polite. [ is that a sentence any other Sith Lord has said ever in the past millennium? Questionable. ]

As a combat unit this group could certainly function -- presuming everyone is willing to fight and capable of taking orders anyway-- [ the words are a sardonic drawl again ] But our ranged and defensive capabilities seem more lacking, at least among those I've talked to thus far. If we're out of here relatively quickly, I suppose with luck it won't come up. [ his tone probably betrays how much he thinks of the idea of 'luck', though. ]

[Moran's voice stays genially pleasant.]

Your effort is very much appreciated, Darth Imperius.

[Is that sarcasm? he said it with a straight face.]

Let us hope we will manage to leave before the deadline that is coming to us.
