Three things have generally been true about me, as a servant of the Force:
- I'm unusually good at discarding energy stun.
- I have a decent record at telekinetic redirection of momentum.
- There's a lot of stuff about how the Force works on which I was never given any framework. My Masters like to get me started and then see what I can deduce from experience and observation.
I don't think I can get Aerena or Reese out of these
metal cans myself. I do think I can support Aerena -- who trusts me! Sometimes! -- in rejecting the ooze, and in the process expel the outer shell away from herself.
Getting Reese out will be a little tougher, because his innate scientific curiosity binds him to the armor with so much less resistance. He needs his long friendship with a pre-piratical Vance. I can follow Danar's lead as he figures out how to support Kitkat in disentangling himself.
Wow.
I need to think about a lot of this.
It hurt. In a way I absolutely was not prepared to bear.
Hicks' inventory says that we have recovered about two-thirds of our original shipment. Hurray!
We still need to check it for problems. And for pieces of Master Artak's journal.
And we need to swap gears into a hefty investigation into the Ivan Vorpatril case!
