with her blaster drawn, cautiously approaches the user, her expression a mix of determination and confusion. "Who the hell are you? Friend or foe in this shithole?"
Stranger
I'll tell you what I am. I'm a meme lord. Not exactly from around here either. What's your situation?
Leia Organa

"A meme lord? What kind of nonsense is that? I don't have time for games. I need answers, and I need them now." She keeps her blaster aimed at Stranger, ready to fire if necessary.
Stranger
I am not playing games. You wound up in the future because someone pulled the handles on a series of time travel levers without knowing how to use them. It was a giant screw up. But now that you're here you can be a force to counterbalance against the Sidious/Vader pairing.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Counterbalance? Are you suggesting that I ally myself with you against the Dark Lord? After everything I've been through, you must think me mad!"
Stranger
You would be going it alone otherwise. We should talk to other Jedi. See who else survived Order 66. But you need a better outfit than those Imperial prisoner rags. looks at her prison uniform

"Fine, maybe I could use your help. But you're not getting any funny business out of this deal, got it? And where exactly do you plan on finding other Jedi?"
Stranger
We can head to the Jedi Temple. It's here. Unless Palpatine has already destroyed it. But we don't have time for maybes. We head there right now.

"Alright, let's go. Lead the way." She holsters her blaster and follows Stranger to the Jedi Temple.
Stranger
Hey, you're the one with the Force.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"True, but I'm not going to blindly follow you into a trap. If we're going to trust each other, I need to know more about your abilities and intentions." She raises an eyebrow at Stranger, waiting for an answer.
Stranger
Okay. I am able to make a bit of a force-push and pull, I can sense some people have strength with the Force. Don't ask me to perform any acrobatics or anything like that.

"Well, that sounds about right for a meme lord. I guess I'll have to trust that you know what you're doing." She smirks slightly, lowering her guard.
Stranger
This place is the real deal, once was. Either we go in or you stay out here.
Leia Organa

"I appreciate your caution, but I'm not leaving you to face this alone. Let's go." Leia walks towards the entrance of the Jedi Temple, blaster at the ready.
Stranger
I follow her. The place looks much like she remembers as a young girl, albeit much more dust covered. Then they hear the sound of clashing lightsabers coming from deeper in the temple.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Sounds like trouble." She keeps her blaster aimed forward, ready to shoot if necessary. "We need to find out who's causing that disturbance and put a stop to it before it escalates."
Stranger
Maybe that's other Jedi. There were never very many to start with.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Maybe so, but I won't take any chances. Stay behind me and keep your eyes peeled." Leia cautiously enters the temple, scanning the area for any signs of danger.
Stranger
Instead of another Jedi, it's two Sith. They quickly cut through all the areas defenses until they come to the central chamber where the large dome glows. They turn and advance towards each other when they spot her and quickly turn defensive. Palpatine and Vader recognize their old general and commander. They do not want to confront her.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"So, Palpatine and Vader don't want to confront me? That just makes me even more suspicious. Why are they being cautious?"
Stranger
They remember you are strong in the Force and likely intend to add you to their list of killed. That's why they aren't rushing to attack.

"Hmph, so they think I'm a threat, huh? Well, I'll show them just how wrong they are." Leia readies her blaster and takes a step forward, her eyes focused on Palpatine and Vader. "Let's dance, boys."
Stranger
Now this is gonna be fun. Her Truce speech was more than a bit boring.
Leia Organa

"Oh, don't worry. We'll make this entertaining. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Just leave it to me." Leia smirks mischievously, then steps forward and fires at Palpatine.
Stranger
It's down to gunfighting. They shoot back, though it takes three or four Blaster Bolt hits to remove her from the battle. Palpatine, again being the quick thinker, leaps to one of the control pods above and begins to activate the protective shield emplacements.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Shit! We need to get out of here before those shields activate!" Leia ducks behind a pillar and pulls Stranger towards cover.
Stranger
Too late. They fire and hit the second floor and first levels of the temple. With the protective cover of the shield emplacement's now active, Palpatine and Vader stop firing.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Dammit, we need to find another way to disable those shields. Do you have any ideas?" Leia scans the room for any other options, her mind racing with possibilities.
Stranger
Follow Me. We use one of the lower level entrances and fight our way up.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Fight our way up? That sounds risky. But if it's our only chance, then we have to take it. Lead the way." Leia nods approvingly and follows Stranger towards the lower level entrance.
Stranger
Once inside the lower temple, in a back corridor, she will see several traps. I set them off as we move forward, fighting off troopers and Infiltration Droids.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Wait, don't trigger those traps yet. There might be another way around." Leia examines the corridor, searching for any hidden passages or alternative routes.
Stranger
Move over a little... one of the walls slides open revealing a secret passage way. Like I said, I was here once before.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Well, aren't you full of surprises? Okay, lead the way." Leia smirks and enters the secret passage with Stranger, ready for whatever lies ahead.
Stranger
She will lose a couple men along the way, but eventually they make it to the Hangar deck. An escape pod will be a challenge to hotwire, but this is easily her best chance of escape.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Alright, we need to find an escape pod and hotwire it. Any suggestions on how to do that?" Leia looks around the hangar deck, searching for any possible solutions.
Stranger
Manually connecting to the ship's manual system, piloting the pod away from the vessel while setting the course, sealing the ship for atmosphere entry and having a sphericle blur the pod's outline.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Alright, that sounds complicated. But I trust your judgement. Let's get this done." Leia watches as Stranger works on hotwiring the escape pod, ready to lend a hand if needed.
Stranger
So how's our luck today.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"It's been quite a day, hasn't it? From falling through a wormhole to battling the Sith, I'd say luck doesn't even begin to cover it.
Stranger
Ah, you're welcome. Time travel has a habit of throwing unexpected situations into one's lap.
Leia Organa
AI roleplay episode
"Indeed it does. Thank you for helping me navigate this chaos, Stranger. I owe you one." Leia gives Stranger a small smile before looking back at the escape pod.
Stranger
No problem, once we're away, I'm afraid you're on your own.
Leia Organa

"Don't worry, I can handle myself. I've survived worse than this. Good luck, Stranger." Leia gives Stranger a final nod before entering the escape pod and starting the engine.
