"So, uh, did everyone here have a good weekend? Bad weekend? Mentally or emotionally scarring weekend? I was a cat for most of it," Kanan said, looking faintly irritated at the island in general, "and then I was naked in the park. I figure that means I just about break even. Either way," he glanced at Hera. "We're going for an easy week, this time around. Complete with enviro-suits and a moon walk."

Hera still wasn't entirely sure about this weekend, and was a bit more subdued than last week. "Your planet's own moon is low-gravity and lacks most of an atmosphere, but it's otherwise pretty good for walking around on. I bet it could be terraformed into a good place. For now, we'll still need those enviro-suits, though."

"They're not pretty, but they'll keep you from dying a horrible death in an airless void," Kanan agreed. And then tilted his head. "I guess it isn't everyone's planet here either, is it? Eric's moon. For the rest of us it's a loaner."

There you go, Eric. You had your very own moon.

"Suit up," Kanan continued, "and we'll get going. This is gonna at least be a quick trip there, and then we can walk around a bit. Enjoy the view. That sort of thing."

"I understand there's a few things up there from past trips, so maybe we can do a bit of scavenging, too," Hera said. "Clean the place up and get anything useful."

"If we find any interesting droids, maybe we can swap them out for Chopper," Kanan quipped. Aaaand then he laughed and made a little jog into the cockpit before Chopper could get him with that stunner of his.

Hera rolled her eyes.

Over the moon.

Khadgar

Eric Bittle

Peebee

Such as it is.

Bounce around, pick up some of the junk on the moon, maybe enjoy earthrise.

The bouncing was definitely a highlight, and Khadgar felt good about picking up debris. And then bouncing away with it, like you do.

... Well, apparently he had a moon now? Right.

He was definitely filming as he bounced around. The comments on this week's vlog would be super-interesting, he was sure.

"What do you think of your moon?" Hera asked as he bounced past.

Um, Peebee and low or zero gravity situations equaled OTP.

So yeah, she was absolutely having a ball bouncing around, doing silly flips and using her biotics to reduce her own mass even more just for extra bounciness.

If she'd seemed a little bit tense at the start of class, she was completely relaxed and grinning by the end of it.

Hera grinned over at her. "You're a fan, I take it."

Peebee, shimmering faintly from the mass effect field she'd surrounded herself with, did a somersault with a half twist and then bounced right back off the ground again when she landed.

"As moons go, it's definitely not up there on any tourist list. No scenery here. But the floaty bits? I could do this all day."

"Low-grav has its advantages," Hera agreed. "And this is at least a solid start for a moon, it's just lacking a bit of life."

"Also color," Peebee added with a slight frown. "So much gray everywhere. But the view of Earth from here? That's a little bit spectacular."

"It is pretty nice," Hera said. "There's such variety down there."

She sighed. "I really need to get off the island and see it. I know, everybody there is human, but there's got to be some way to blend in."

Maybe a really big hat.

"Right?" Peebee made a face. "Dante says I should go out anyway, let people think I'm just dressed up and pretending to be an alien, though."

The grin on her face said she thought that idea was way too much fun.

"That...is definitely an idea!" Hera said, grinning back.

She thought about it. "If we got the humans to dress up as other species, too..." Kanan with fake lekku was (apart from probably way too handsome) an amusing thought.

"And maybe come up with puppets or holoprojections of some of the non-bipedal species," Peebee added. "There's gotta be someone around here who'd get a kick out of pretending to be a krogan for a day, too. Though maybe not in the summer."

"What's a krogan like?" Hera asked.

"Big, reptilian, two sets of organs, like to headbutt things," Peebee reeled off flippantly. "Live about a thousand years, like we do. That is, assuming they survive that long. You know, because of the fighting things. They're . . . pretty scrappy."

And would probably stomp her into pulp for describing them that way, but pfft. There weren't any around to overhear her now!

"They sound a bit like Trandoshans," Hera said. "Big reptiles that count points for everything they kill. That'd work. Heck, we could make up species just for fun."

"The more out there the better?" Peebee guessed. "Ooooh, a hanar puppet! We could do that "

"They're another non-humanoid species?" Hera guessed. "It'd be great to have someone as...I don't know, an ithorian, but the whole 'two mouths' thing would be a problem."

"They're basically two and a half meter tall jellyfish who communicate through bioluminescent flashes," Peebee said cheerfully. "That would get people's attention . . . wait, two mouths?"

"One on each side of their neck," Hera confirmed. "Four throats, too. It makes speaking Ithorian pretty much impossible for anyone else. They've got large heads, sort of T-shaped," she gestured, "with one eye on each side, too. They're really sweet people."

They're here! And themselves again, mercifully.

Hera is not a Jedi Master anymore. She's pretty glad about that, really.

Kanan is also not a Jedi Master!

... Of course, he never was one, and he doesn't plan to ever be, so that's not really a stretch anyway.

I have no moon icons.

Insert 'No Moon' joke here.

Dork. :D

IT WAS RIGHT THERE.

Uh-huh. Of course it was.
