"Wicked! Finally."

"Where are you planning on going?"

"I'm not entirely sure, yet. It depends on what's going on in the wider galaxy."

"But Jacen - Lord Inkil, I think he's calling himself - can't be allowed to carry on like this."

"The resistance can use whatever information you have about him."

She nods. "It - might not be much. I died before he was born, and I've been leery of trying to spy on him."

"I know far more about anything that happened during my life, but - that does include some of the powers and artifacts he's grasping for."

"That would help, if we can get a step ahead of him."

She nods. (She doesn't seem very happy.)

Plausibly the only thing worse than having to work with the actual ghost of the most infamous mass murderer in recent galactic history is having to be the actual ghost of the most infamous mass murderer in recent galactic history, so like, fair enough.

"Is it alright if we accompany you back?"

"To the resistance?"

"Yes. Wherever you're going."

"...Sure, I guess." Half her original mission done, anyway. Get to the weapon before the First Order.

"Thank you."

"I can encourage your shoulder to heal at least a little with the Force, and we can brace it regardless. I can go now and get us a ship capable of hyperspace travel and bring it here, if you trust my judgement on which and don't mind theft, or we can wait until nightfall to travel."

"If I'm going to be flying a ship, I want to see it first."

Small smile. "Very reasonably so - we have a speeder, so we can cover the distance better than on foot, at least, but it's not climate controlled."

"Oh good."

"If you can scout unobtrusively, it'd be a good idea to do that."

"I can, though it's a bit harder if there's anyone around who's trained in the Force."

"The person I'm most concerned about is apparently trained in the Force, so."

"He never bothers to hide himself, and - I'm very familiar with him. I can avoid anywhere he's at."

"Just finding out if he's around or not would be enough."

She hums, gaze going distant, and - "He's not in this solar system, though I think some of his officers still are."

"That's some range."

"Force powers can act at a distance. The main barrier to making that a nearly arbitrary distance is mental."

"That sounds like some serious bullshit."

She definitely looks amused.

"The Force isn't the only thing in the universe that can produce information and effects regardless of distance, though at least we have decent mathematical models for the other things that do - mostly admittedly 'entangled particles.'"
