Re: ANYONE ELSE?
Obi-Wan arrived near the Derleth campus around the time of the Great Mall Expedition. He listened to the voicemail, read the paper airplane letter (quite ingenious that one!) but he was hesitant to reach out on the network too quickly. He needed to get his bearings first and find out what kind of place he was dealing with. Then, once he was certain of the truth of the information he was presented with, he could make introductions. This was how he ended up venturing out and coming across Crystal River Mall.
