[ So, Luceti, you have Kirk showing up today on our totally hi-grade, super deluxe communication system (haha, yeah right). Anyways, he's there, and he currently has a copy of George Orwell's "1984" displayed in hand. ]

So... I have an honest to god sort of question for everyone. 

How many of you ever thought or believed the stuff in books like this would come true in the future? Or better yet, does anyone actually live in a world like these books describe?

Because, really, the twenty-first century view of the future is... interesting.

It wasn't meant as a warning, I assure you. Your demeanor simply reminded me of his.

( In an achy, longing way. Anakin has drifted so far from her, though there is hope in Luceti. He doesn't seem to remember... )

I wouldn't know who falls under the category of Victorian authors to start with.

Anakin Skywalker.

Oh, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens - that lot. You might like Jane Austen, many women do. I hear Pride and Prejudice is still popular, even in my time.

Skywalker? Any relation to a Luke Skywalker?

He is our son.

Then I will give her works a try. ( Sorry. She's used to dealing with hard-headed men. )

Yes. It's...yes. Happy. ( It's more bittersweet. )

I do have to warn you though, Victorian authors can be kind of... depressing. I'm not sure that was a happy time for anyone.

Well, that's good. I know I'd like to see my parents, if they came here.
