You believe we're here because of some sort of advanced technology?
[ He's surprised - and he looks it. That hadn't occurred to him. Nobody wanting to save anything would put together a clone and some Jedi Padawan in hopes that they'd figure it out. It just doesn't make sense. ]
In all honesty, I figured it was the Force. That tends to be what's to blame whenever things get... [ Strange? Illogical? Ending with people going missing for a split second only to have them return with claims they've been gone for days? ]
I've never heard of the Force moving anyone through time. If Jedi or Sith could do it, one of my mom's teachers would have mentioned.
But who knows... maybe there is some kind of new Jedi technique for doing that? [in all honesty, she's not sure if what happened felt like the Force or not. It certainly can be mysterious, and definitely mystical. It could have been a Jedi, or it could have been a dark Jedi.
Not that Vima is presumptuous enough to think that pulling her out of history would topple the Republic, or anything. And it's true that if this was a deliberate act, it would be weird to leave her and Rex to their own devices.]
I don't suppose any of your generals talked about anything like this happening? You know... ever?
Not this specific case, no. But there was one mission in which they claimed that they had been missing for days when we had only lost contact with them for a moment. They blamed the disparity in time on the Force, and I saw no reason to dispute their claims. It's not quite moving backwards or forwards in time but time certainly hadn't been working properly for them.
[ Nor, he thinks, did it work in their favour. They returned to the ship looking harried and closed-off, having seen things that they did not wish to. Rex hadn't pushed the matter. It wasn't his place. ]
Does the Force have to be used by a Jedi or a Sith to make that sort of impact? Or can it do so on its own? You lot tend to refer to it as a living thing. Surely it can make its own calls.

Mystical.
