"Hey, how are you?" Luke inquired.

"I'm doing alright. What's going on?" Persie replied, curious about the urgency in Luke's message.

"I have to leave the planet. I'm currently en route to the spaceport," Luke explained matter-of-factly.

Perplexed, Persie asked, "Why do you have to leave?"

Luke's response was swift, "There's an issue with our company on Veridian Prime. I need to address it personally."
