"Do other people from Scope go from world to world like you? Have you met people from other worlds?"

"No, we didn't even go from continent to continent until this weird guy from Faron figured out how to poison the dragons."

Dooku doesn't know the meanings of about half of those words, but he at least understood the "no" part.

"This world is with many other worlds in the [unfamiliar word], and I wanted to see if we've seen your world. Or how near it is. All the worlds we've seen have the Force, and your magic is... not like it. It could change many things about all our worlds."

"Is there a way I can talk to people from your world? I won't have you go back if you don't want to."

"Uhhh... No. I burnt some of my magic to get here. You can do almost anything by burning magic, but then it never ever comes back. Ever. I really don't want to do it again to go home..."

Dooku nods. "6-LOM can talk to you now, if you want. 6-LOM... hears you and talks to you better than I do." Also he's still tired.

"If you don't have white, only theforce, 6lom must be really smart to learn so fast. Sorry for landing on you again. And thank you for your hospitality. I don't want to be a burden."

He does a formal bow and smiles.

(If his magic really is strange here, that might be troublesome later...)

Dooku exits the room, and will now get to sleep. Is there any reason he isn't just using a bacta tank for a few hours a day so he doesn't have to sleep as much?

Repeated use of bacta over long periods of time can lead to increased risk of fatal diseases not curable by known technology!

And "today" is a short period of time, is it not?

...

6-LOM will return to learning Nico's language!

He's kind of tired of talking constantly and would like to exercise instead, by running around the gardens or climbing things. Or learn things. Learning things, especially challenging things like math and 6-LOM's language, is acceptable too! (He mentions in passing that doing difficult things and feeling the right way about them is how you get more magic.)(

6-LOM teaches him some phrases in Galactic Basic, then! And there are plenty of climbable things, although 6-LOM has to first cover the area beneath them with a net.

...He frowns about the net a bit but this is reasonable. He'd be doing chores right now, back home.

"Is Mr. Dooku your boss? Is he a rich guy? Rich people have farms and tall houses back home."

"Yes, he is rich, and... the boss of this world."

"Oh, he's a king."

He seems a lot more nervous all of a sudden.

"Gale Rocks told Kelos White that 'no, we aren't part of Kelos anymore and we don't have a king anymore'."

6-LOM can explain the political structure here. Serenno has seven royal families, each of which has a Count at its head; Count Dooku is the leader of the most powerful and has most of the political power. Serenno also sends representatives to a larger interplanetary government.

How do things work in Gale Rocks?

It was a colony from Kelos, and then Kelos had a big war back home and people were really mad about conscription and taxes and pirates everywhere, and then when they wrote a Declaration of Independence Kelos kind of just went 'fine', and the Baron from Kelos even gave up his power to an elected council of three people as long as he got to keep his fancy house.

Makes sense! What sort of things did Nico like to spend his time doing back home, and is there anything in particular he's looking to do around here?

"I just want to explore some for now, but later I want to go to a school! A place for learning things! My dad wouldn't let me 'cause schools are pretty Kelosian and he hated Kelos. And I want to do magic and find good new ideas about what magic to do."

"There are many schools in Carannia; you can go to one of those if you want. And we want to learn about what you can do with magic too."

They can keep exploring.

"This one is my favorite so far." He spins out multicolored sparkles in his hand, shaping them to mimic a tree, a rabbit, 6-LOM... "And I can start fires and make plants give fruit right away but it hurts the plant and hit really hard with an axe and hold on to fire for later - oh you saw that already - and dry out twigs and tinder and clean my skin." He supports many of these claims with sparkle-shapes. "Oh wait, I can't do the last three right now. I have to earn more blue first. New things are always more expensive. What do you think I should try?"

"Maybe getting fruit from a plant?" 6-LOM says. "We have many plants; using one is fine."

"Do any of these plants make fruit usually?"

6-LOM points out some jogan fruit plants, none of which are flowering yet.
