#sw:tcw

the exterior of the pool has a hallway outside of water that goes around and connects to each room, and maybe each room has a window that is like a pocket that connects the area with air to the water like a tiny ship moon pool and the aquatic person can peek out their "window" to speak with the land people

the central area of the pool has spaces for eating, recreational purposes, classrooms, and meditation spaces, all of this so that those who are made for water can relax, eat, sleep, and do their day-to-day tasks and hobbies comfortably

still, not all are the same, which means the tech that they used in the mon cala episodes in sw:tcw were developed, or simply advanced, by the jedi for the sake of having land species hang out with their friends and lineage members underwater, or there are a lot of oxygen "bubbles" for them to use

this is especially great when thinking about aquatic species forgetting about their need for water, since they're technically supposed to be in water at all times, and i can imagine land species jedi hanging out with their aquatic friends, masters, or padawans above water, noticing that they're dehydrated, and then dragging them to the pools as they grab an underwater suit or mask

picture this: padawan bant eerin being super focused on her studies and not paying attention to her health needs for the moment, and obi-wan pulls her and her (waterproof) study materials into the pools to chill and study underwater

padawan nahdar and kit meditating together in the center of the pools, or practicing with their specially-made lightsabers for underwater combat

jedi knights and masters visiting aquatic younglings and playing with them in the water before they're fully adjusted to being out of water

It takes a minute for Fox to process the difference, missing the moment Fives stalks forward to jab a finger at his chest.

“Commander, it’s time we had a talk. Would it really kill you to switch your blaster to stun for a change, as the regs say you’re supposed to? Because I’m getting real tired of you killing me. I’m trying to save you all here!”

Fox takes a careful step back.

“I know. Control chips in our brain, Sith in the Senate. It does actually make a lot of sense.”

“Wait, you’re looping too?”

“Yes.”

“Then why do you keep stopping me from telling anyone?!”

“I will let you soon, I promise. I’ll even help you. But I can’t risk the time loop ending yet. This is all going to cascade so fast, and my Corries are right in the blast radius. I can’t protect them if I’m barely hanging on by a thread already.

“Do you know what I’ve been doing with my repeating mornings? Sleeping for more than five consecutive hours. Eating something that isn’t a ration bar. Reading something that isn’t a report. Keeping weight off my ankle like the medics asked. For the first time in months I can think beyond tomorrow because I can keep tomorrow from coming. I have time and energy to actually start investigating the Chancellor’s schemes, and to start planning countermoves. We don’t know that we’ll get more than one shot at this, so we have to prepare while we can.”

“And you didn’t try telling me all this earlier, why?!”

Fox just shrugs and raises his blaster.
