Hello,

My name is Reinforce Eins, a device in the service of the Magic Department and along with my younger sister one of the ship's internal communications officers.

As most of you should be aware, despite the many similarities present between most of our worlds-of-origin, there is a large, unexplained level of variation between the personal abilities - what we of mine call magic - many of us possess, and few of us understand each others' in any useful level of detail.

This paucity of knowledge is an impediment to our efficient use in both combat and other types of operations. Command cannot be expected to develop a coherent combat doctrine or wage war effectively if it does not understand all the weapons and tactical options at its disposal. In order to remedy this dangerous state of affairs I propose an initiative to collect information on such abilities and their uses from the crew in a systematic manner and develop a detailed report to Command to aid in future doctrinal and combat planning.

This proposal is here submitted to command and the crew at large for initial comment.

I for one feel this is a splendid idea. Does this 'technology', as I believe is the proper term for the device we are using to communicate, interface acceptably with magic, or can it be made to do so? Perhaps a compendium which can be accessed from these devices?

I apologize in advance for a forward and personal query, and by all means ignore or rebuke it as you see fit, but may I request clarification on the statement that you are a 'device'?

Yes. Or to be more precise, where I am from, magic is simply considered a branch of technological development, not a distinct art.

I would not have mentioned it if I was unwilling to elaborate. I am a product of such technology, meant to aid my wielder in controlling their magic.

I am going to guess that you come from the same world as Vita. I had the pleasure of meeting Graf Eisen along with her. Though, given your displayed initiative and communicativeness I suspect there is not much of a comparison to be made.

She is of our lady's Cloud Knights. My purpose is not so different from Graf Eisen's, but as you say, I am originally of the Unison type and have much higher capacity for independent action.

Thank you for the information.

I'm in the process of preparing a laboratory in the space kindly allowed me in the Jedi Temple. Please consider yourself invited to visit whensoever you might have the time and inclination; I'd like very much to converse further on the nature of magic and 'devices' in your world. It is in numerous respects decidedly different than both my world and even my field of study.

I'd be happy to help you set up. When are you there?

I intend to do the five-plane sealing and testing soon, after which I will inscribe the teleport circles. Help after that point would certainly be appreciated!
