My initial impression was that it was the same droid just plodding along ... but you're probably right.It's interesting that Undersecretary Fara has to wait for a droid-delivered message from the Supervisor. Her position (which Fern describes as "admin") obviously doesn't grant her direct access to the boss.I love that they're dribbling out clues to At Attin's nature. The kids have figured out that their society has something to do with money, but they've been cut off from the rest of the galaxy since before the rise of the Empire. Whatever it is that they're doing with money, it's not something that requires the average At Attin citizen to be aware of current events in the wider galaxy.I'm thinking that maybe, rather than a bank or a mint, perhaps their contribution to the Great Work was to be a currency exchange or something ... but I feel like that would require them to be more connected to the galaxy at large. They would need to know when currencies become defunct (like Old Republic dataries) and when new ones come into effect (like Imperial credits).Could At Attin be the Old Republic's version of the Fort Knox gold reserves vault? That wouldn't explain the analysts and emphasis on fungibility of various currencies, but might explain the secrecy and the rumors of treasure. But the GFFA essentially uses coins rather than paper or electronic money, so would they even need a reserve?I'm enjoying trying to figure out this mystery. Can't wait to find out what the answer is!</blockquote>
