[Well, at least there's one person on the network who isn't yelling. Far from it, actually, though he's always in the mood for a fight. But today, Hamilton's mental voice is a little woozy. Tired-sounding, really, and certainly it's not because he hasn't been sleeping the past few days. That would be completely ridiculous.

It's rare that he asks for help. But this month, he might need a little, if only as distraction.]

Okay, folks. Book recommendations, if you got any that I can read around here. Or if there're any about wherever y'all are from. Or, hell, I dunno, I'd appreciate a loan of a quill and some paper. I gotta do something, and there ain't a treasury to mind or a newspaper to run here.

I love it. Used to write some myself, when I was a kid.

My mom's homeworld was known for its poetry. I know Grandpa's favourites enough that I should be able to get a book together.

Uncle Luke was the one who destroyed the weapon. But Mom... she was already a big part of the Rebellion then, but with Grandpa gone, she was the one who started driving a lot of it.

[aimedhigh]

I can understand why. Damn.

[forcechanic]

It wound up having the opposite effect of what the Empire was going for. It scared people... but some of them went the exact opposite of complying.

[aimedhigh]

Yeah, I would think somethin' like that would do it.
