Thrawn's reputation said that nothing escaped him; given the man's record, Tycho was inclined to believe it. Thus he was sure Thrawn had noticed the side-long glances Tycho kept shooting him as he guided the Chiss down Stacy's corridors, pointing out locations of interest. The passed corridors leading to the transport tubes, the media library and the sleeping halls and crew quarters before they finally reached the sensoriums. Tycho was normally a quiet, reserved man, but Thrawn's presence had made him even quieter. He had a million things he wanted to know, but he doubted there was any way he could ask that would be sufficiently subtle or clever enough to get past Thrawn.

The sensorium chamber they entered was a large blank room. "Well, here we are," Tycho said redundantly. "And-" he shut his eyes, and suddenly they were standing on a balcony on the upper level of the Imperial Palace, looking out over a night-time view of Coruscant's skyline. Speeders and other hover-traffic whizzed by in the distance, and far above, the lights of sky hooks twinkled distantly. A cool night breeze blew on their faces. From the open balcony doors behind them came a warm spill of light and the tinkling sound of soft music and laughter. Clearly some kind of event was taking place, probably one Tycho remembered having attended. The scene now created, Tycho opened his eyes and turned to look at Thrawn. "-that's how they work," he finished.

He waited, hands clasped behind his back, for the other man's reaction.

... At least she hadn't tried to hug him. As for her relaxed attitude and lack of visible discipline ... well, Tycho supposed that Thrawn was going to need an accurate picture of Rogue Squadron if he really was going to be in charge of anything, tactically speaking.

There was one thing though ... "General Kenobi," Tycho explained warily. "General Kenobi from a much earlier time-frame than either you or I. ... He's from before the Republic had fallen, I beleive."

It would be interesting to see how Thrawn reacted to this piece of news.

With a wave of revulsion, albeit one only a Force-sensitive could have detected, leaking through even his enormous mental discipline. Externally, Thrawn showed only mild surprise, raising an eyebrow at the news. "Is that so? Are there other classically-trained Jedi aboard?"

"There are," Arha said neutrally, "much in the way of Jed-Eye these days, classically trained or no. They are family, each, to myself--as are my fellow pilots." All of which Arha would defend to her own death if necessary. That note was solid within her tone.

She had adopted all of them and they were her own.

Tycho looked back and forth between Arha and Thrawn, brows drawing together at her uncharacteristic reticence when talking about her beloved 'jed-eye'. He would ask her later what was going on. "In terms of those from our universe who have woken up from pod-sleep, there are more Jedi than anyone else," he offered carefully. "As for classically trained ... you'd have to ask them." Tycho shrugged. "I don't really know much about Jedi training."
