Chapter 4: Oh Bi One!
Luke and the two mature-aged droids after travelling for days reach Queen's Land
LUKE: Wayne? Old Bi Wayne! Boy, am I glad to see you!
OB1: The cultural wastes of Queen's Land are not to be traveled lightly. Tell me young Luke, what brings you out this far?
LUKE: These droids have a message for an Oh Bi One. Is he a relative of yours? Do you know who he is?
Wayne ponders this for a moment, stroking his long scruffy hair.
OB1: Oh Bi One? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...a long time.
LUKE: I think my uncle knew him. He said he was dead.
OB1: Oh, he's not dead, not...not yet.
LUKE: You know him!
OB1: Well of course, of course I know him. He's me! I haven't gone by the name Oh Bi One since oh, before you were born. Not since 1978 when your father and I marched together...
LUKE: No, my father wasn't an activist
OB1: That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved.
LUKE: You marched in '78?
OB1: Yes, I was once a Jaded Knight the same as your father. Your father, Craig Bi Walker!
LUKE: Was that his real name? But why don't I have the same surname?
OB1: You were hidden at birth for reasons that won't be revealed in this episode... and it would be pretty dumb for you to keep the same name...almost as stupid as having you live on the planet where your father was born! Your father wanted you to know the truth when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow Old Bi Wayne on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did. In the old days the Jaded Knights fought for recognition and equality for all, we risked our lives together hand-in-hand... Before the dark times, before the Empire.
LUKE: What happened to my father?
OB1: A young man named Dark Leather, who was a lover of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jaded Knights. He betrayed your father. Dark Leather was seduced by the dark side of the Force.
LUKE: The Force?
OB1: I'll explain later. First we'll have to find Princess Lay Her.
KZ 3.0: But sir, the Princess could be anywhere. It would take forever searching through cyberspace to locate her
OB1: Then, we'll need to use a NAVIGATOR. I know where we might find one... but it is a dangerous place, a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats, travellers from a hundred worlds. The name of the place is ...
LUKE: Babylon 5? Surely, your not about to do a cross-over!
OB1: No, it is a much more dangerous and exotic place than that!
LUKE: Not MOS EISLEY!!!!
OB1: No, Luke. I'm taking you to the Taxi Club.
turning to the droids
OB1: You'd better bring some 9V batteries.They'll come in handy there.
