Memory 72
Memory: Jaina, distracted while testifying against a pirate she and Lowbacca apprehended, mouths off to a lawyer.
Received: Day 278, night
Form: Two paper dolls attached at the arm. Can be torn apart with a friend to share the memory, but only one use.
Summary:Raynar put up the Bat-Signal Much like Luke got feelings he desperately needed to go to Cloud City in "The Empire Strikes Back, Jaina's getting a feeling in the Force that she urgently needs to go the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Problem is, she's in the middle of helping convict of notorious pirate, and the prosecutor-equivalent has no patience for Jaina's distraction. And Jaina has no patience for the Inquisitor's impatience.
--
The Joiner King opens with Jaina on the stand in a court room at Detention Center Maxsec Eight out in space. Jaina keeps feeling a sense of desperation through the Force, clear and beckoning. Someone wants help in the Unknown Regions, but the touch is too "wispy" for her to know who. It has her unconsciously staring out the window into space.
The court "Inquisitor" calls for Jedi Solo's attention, and asks if she needs to repeat a question to Jaina. The woman, Athadar Gyad, goes ahead and starts repeating it -- she wants to know what happened when she and Lowbacca tried boarding the pirate ship Night Lady. Jaina interrupts, apologizing and saying she did hear the question, then looking to the defendant, called Redstar.
Jaina: Redstar's crew tried to turn us away.
Gyad: They attacked you with blasters, isn't that correct? And it was necessary to defend yourselves with your lightsabers?
Jaina: Right again.
Jaina feels the sense of desperation again, much stronger, more urgent and frightened. This time Gyad moves to block her view of space, and Jaina's patience is running thin.
Gyad: Jedi Solo? Please direct your attention to me.
Jaina: I thought I had answered your question.
Gyad: What were you wearing at the time?
Jaina: Our cloaks.
Gyad: Your Jedi cloaks?
Jaina: They're just cloaks. Jedi don't wear uniforms.
Gyad: Surely, you can't mean to suggest that a criminal of Redstar's intelligence failed to recognize -- Jedi Solo, do you mean to suggest the crew could have legitimately believe you to be pirates?
Jaina: I don't know what they believed. ...I was too busy fighting to probe their thoughts.
Gyad: Jedi Solo, isn't it true that your father once made his living as a smuggler?
Jaina: That was a little before my time, Inquisitor. And what would that have to do with the price of spice on Nal Hutta?
The other Jedi in the courtroom are amused, at least.
Gyad: [to a panel of magistrates] Will you please instruct the witness to answer --
Jaina: Everyone knows the answer. It's taught in half the history classes in the galaxy.
Gyad: Of course it is. Would it be possible that you identify with the accused? That you are reluctant to testify against a criminal because of your father's own ambivalent relationship with the law?
Jaina: No. In the last five standard years, I've captured thirty-seven warlords and broken up more than a hundred smuggling --
The sense of desperation is back, more clear, even becoming familiar. Jaina's attention turns to the viewport, answer trailing off.
She has to get to the Unkown Regions.
