[The video feeds open on a human man. His features are sharp and regal, but there's no haughtiness or hostility to them. His long hair flows down well past his shoulders, and a well-groomed beard highlights the lines of his jaw ... but more than any of that, what will jump out immediately is that he's in rough shape.
[His cheeks are sunken, his skin looks pale, and there are dark rings under his eyes. There are a few fresh cuts on his face, including one that runs along his cheekbone that's highlighted by a purpling bruise.
[He's smiling though. It's a tired smile, one that clearly takes a bit of effort at the moment, but a smile nonetheless.]
Hello to anyone who might be listening. My name is Orren Organa - of the Jedi Order, should that mean anything to any you. From what I understand of our current situation, though, I understand that it might not.
[He sighs and tucks an errant lock of hair behind his ear.]
That same situation is why I'm putting out this call. The Head's information was ... helpful, but vague enough that I'm left with some questions about this place. I'd appreciate whatever insight that anyone who's been here longer can offer, and ... that's about it, really.
[A beat.]
Apologies for my appearance as well. I was in a bit of a rough spot before I was pulled here, but I'm quite alright.
[Or, at the very least, he will be. His connection to the Force is still as strong here as ever, and he can already feel it working to repair the damage to his body.]

Not until I confronted them after seeing you on Dantooine.
[She'll probably have some memory of that. She wasn't there for his audience with the council, but she saw him storming out in the aftermath.]
Before that, all I knew was that they were assembling a strike team to go after you. I don't know if this was their plan from the start, but ...
[He pauses for a moment, drawing in a deep breath before letting it out through his nose in a short sigh.]
I didn't look too closely, didn't press for specifics ... I decided to stay away from it. That it was best that I didn't get involved. In hindsight, all that did was remove an obstacle from their path.

[Revan's eyes go distant as she replays one of the only scraps of memory she has.]
...I was winning.
[Rather than Revan's usual smugness about victory, she just sounds haunted. If the fight had gone on a little longer, she'd have killed Bastila.]

[Orren admits with a small shake of his head.]
At the height of your power, you were the most powerful Jedi alive by a very wide margin. There weren't many people who could have challenged you before the war, and by that point most of them were either dead, converted, or in no condition to fight.
