"I'm not claustrophobic and I'm willing to do preparatory flybys, that's a typical use case for my powers. My memory is fine; in realtime I want the assistant to help with figuring out which of the things I'm seeing are relevant to the strike team, and to cut down on time I'm out of meditation to communicate, which aren't issues for a flyby."

The holocomm figure seems almost disappointed by this news.

"Analysts, then.  We'll brief you in more detail about what we have and what we need in closer proximity to the op.  ...It might be useful to have your thing anyway, Engineering."

"Wouldn't be much real outlay, Accounting thought they might want something for mass manufacture but the math didn't pan out once it was finalized."

Permalink

"I am interested in seeing it, even if we don't need it for this mission."

Permalink

"We'll get you a copy."

"On the day of...  Hmm."

"Defensive Ops, it would not draw unduly to have close protection for Lord Pradnakt and an analyst, I hope.  With our fallback position for medical, perhaps, in case something goes horribly wrong and we are in need of her skills."

Permalink

"We can do that, ma'am.  Lord Pradnakt, would it be useful to pair you with a sniper?  With your sensory abilities."

Permalink

"If you think we'll have sightlines to useful targets, yes. I can brush up on battle mediation if that's going to be a regular strategy, I know the principles of it even if I'm badly out of practice."

Permalink

"Should be; even in the event of having to fall back from our first pick, reliably shooting through walls can be useful.  It's more a contingency plan, anyway.  ...We work with battle meditation often enough; I'll see if we have anyone that's particularly good at holding up their end, and a sniper, on this mission.  Should be some, we were already expecting her ladyship," and upon hearing that Kalbetis radiates a fond exasperation, "to be with us on this one.  That sort of thing gets factored in to our deployments."

"I'll see if I can get in some practice before we arrive, then."

Permalink

"As was implied, I do have quite a bit of practice with it myself, if you would like my assistance in getting back into things."

Her first instinct is to be suspicious of the offer, but, no, they're doing something different here. "If you have time, I expect it would help, yes."

Permalink

She would not have minded if Pradnakt had not trusted her quite that far, but she's glad she might be able to pass on some of her tricks.

Permalink

"Alright, that's the operation settled, I believe.  Any other business?"

Permalink

Not from her or Daisy, no.

"Lord Pradnakt, we would like to get a better idea of the capabilities and specialties of Force Healing as you do it.  Darth Kalbetis has been quite clear that even when she is able to provide medical aid, however she approaches it is not Force Healing, but instead applications of other techniques in medically-useful ways."

Permalink

"...I really need to get around to copying all of that out from my master holocron.  It's more than nothing, even if it's not all that much."

Permalink

"You're welcome to watch, but I don't know how useful that will be for determining what anyone else can do - I assume the Darth has explained that I'm a prodigy; the only thing I've found that I need to put effort into in terms of healing is not healing things that the Force considers injuries but the patient wants to keep."

Permalink

"At the moment we are just working out how to work with you, ma'am, but I'll make a note of that."

"...The question is not just 'what can you heal', but also 'how quickly can you heal it', 'how long can you keep healing under field stress conditions', and 'what are the consequences of being healed with the Force compared to mundane treatments'."

Permalink

"Medical, you should have access to our Jedi sources on that subject; I don't know how they compare in terms of skill but I doubt Lord Pradnakt has better data - but certainly the matter of your personal endurance vis-a-vis Force Healing is something that only you could answer, Lord Pradnakt."

Permalink

"If you don't want anything complicated like keeping scars intact I can heal anything you give me in a matter of a second or two, and I can do that all day as long as I stay in the right mindset - I fully expect that I can do it while literally asleep, too, and I know I can do it as a sustained area effect. The mindset is the tricky part but if I'm not personally in combat I expect to be able to maintain it." 

Permalink

"...My goodness."

Permalink

Kalbetis is visibly surprised.  "That is very prodigious, then, from what I know of the subject."

Permalink

"When I was picking up my sensory specialty I made a point of developing those skills in a way that would generalize, that's also part of it. But yes, I'm good at what I do."
