( This video shows a table covered in page after page of...notes? Some of them are written in completely alien languages. Even the letters are strange and ornate - almost like forms of calligraphy. Padmé is sitting before said notes, a pen in hand and her hair unbound around her shoulders and down her back. )

It's of great importance to leave records of our time in this village. I have written what I know in as many languages as I recall. I wish I could leave a more lasting transmission, but I do not wish to burden a droid. Should he have a chance to return to his home, I want him to do so without hesitation.

( If she gives R2D2 a video to keep, he might refuse to leave - if that's at all possible. She doesn't want him leaving Luke's side. )

This is, of course, merely preparation for when my time to return comes. Leaving things to the last minute is not proper.

( She rises and organizes the papers. )

I encourage everyone to do likewise. The information you can offer others - even after your time - is invaluable.

I wouldn't have suggested it - or be following through with it - if I thought it were a bad idea, Captain. ( There is a slightly teasing edge to her smile. ) It would be rude for me to negotiate with a race and not know their language.

Ah, well that explains why you know so many. I bet that helps smooths a lot of negotiations over too.

You sound kind of like one of my crew - Uhura. She was the best xenolinguistics student at the Academy and she's my main communications officer now.
