[Ada like to think after a week of being here she would have figured out how to finally use the device. Sort of. She had figured out how to use video, but since she never used it hasn't fully sunk in that she should maybe move it a bit further back. She'll probably figure that out later or at least while she adjusts it now and again.]

Good morning... I'm not 100% confident that I am holding it correctly, but I am figuring it out as I go. [She smiles slightly.] A device like this is not what I was used to before I arrived. [A paused, she had a reason for this. She moved to bow slightly. She was being polite.]

But I figured I should at least introduce myself to everyone here. My name is Ada Vessalius and it is a pleasure to meet you. [She soon stood up straight, hands still firmly holding the device.]

I arrived around a week ago and I am still getting my bearings, but I am asking for something like a tour guide more than anything. To show me around and explain things that I might not fully understand. [She glanced away for a moment.]

I've already explored a bit, but there are certain things that I don't know which is why I am asking. I want to understand this place much more. [She also may of started her occult collection here but that is a story she isn't going to be open about any time soon.]

I will reward you for you kindness if you are to help. Thank you for listening.

So... If I am getting this correctly. Pendent bearers don't have as much restrictions than others when it comes to where they go. because of that it's harder to contain since they can just move from city to city.

They also are the most likely ones who have things like superpowers which I assume really vary.

Did I get it right?

Yes, you did. These are the main security problems we are facing in regards to pendant bearers.

There are other problems relating to them but these can be traced back to them being more often affected by events.

Affected by events?

I do apologize if I am asking a lot of questions.

No, that's quite alright. [ He snorts. ] It's actually a pleasant change to talk to people who ask questions instead of those who believe they can lecture us on what we should have been doing all along.

Every couple of months... something happens here, something affecting the place or the people or both. Something other than magic spells or attacks by inhabitants, that is, but rather things which as far as we know are caused by this place.

It can be as benign as when every building in Everglade turned into candy or it could have you replaced by an evil, mass-murdering doppelganger. These things usually pass within a week or two but the damage is done by then.

oh wow, so this world can do something like that. I wonder if someone is being able to manipulate the world using a spell or something like that. I mean that would take a lot, so it might not be a person.

But then you have to wonder how the world works and that actually sounds awfully fascinating.

[She pauses for a moment before she realised she had been rambling on to someone who really might not be interested.]

Ah, sorry. I don't normally go off like that.

It's alright, I'm sure there are many people here who would enjoy to speculate with you. I'd never run into magic until a year ago so I'm afraid I'm the wrong person to have a discussion with, but if you ever come to any interesting conclusions...

[ Cassian's "magic skills" are pretty much limited to discerning which more qualified person he needs to call to deal with a specific problem. That's okay, most of them wouldn't know how to fly a ship safely through hyperspace. ]

I've thought about technological solutions as well but if it's tech... It's so far outside anything we are capable of in my galaxy, and we can destroy entire planets with one blast.

Destroy entire planets?

[She isn't sure she really wants to ask why anyone would really want something like that. Mostly because the girl is worried about the answer more than anything.]

I didn't know such things existed.

[ His lips twist into something far too bitter to be called a smile. ]

My galaxy is very skilled at building weapons of mass destructions. It's an ongoing trend. I've been told it will outlive me by far. I would hope your home is famous for something a little more palatable.

As far as I am aware we don't have things like that at least.

[Chains are a different matter, but Ada isn't really involved in that type of things]

That is lucky. I envy you for it. Hopefully you won't need to worry about such things here either.

But if there's anything else I can help with, feel free to contact me again.

I will keep that in mind, thank you.

For now, I guess I should go explore some more.
