Section 7 - Mila Mondatha

A person can be a pilot. A person is usually not a pilot.

Mila Mondatha is a woman. She is proper-named. She is a pilot. She is in the transport. The description is "[if dead]The lifeless and bloodied body of a[otherwise if asleep]The sleeping body of a[otherwise]A[end if] young black-haired woman wearing a worn nerfhide jacket over a flight suit."

Understand "Mila" as Mila Mondatha.

Understand "Mondatha" as Mila Mondatha.

Persuasion rule for asking Mondatha to try going by spaceship (called ship):

if the ship encloses Dodonna and the ship encloses Mondatha and Mondatha is awake:

persuasion succeeds;

otherwise if Mondatha is not awake:

say "She does not respond.";

otherwise if the ship does not enclose Mondatha:

say "'In what?'";

otherwise:

say "'I'm not talking off without the General', says Mila."

Persuasion rule for asking awake Mondatha to try jumping to hyperspace:

persuasion succeeds.

Instead of giving a ration bar to Mila:

say "You give the ration bar to Mila.[paragraph break]";

say "Mila grins and eats [the noun]. 'Bantha flavour - my favourite!'";

move the noun to Dispenser Limbo.

Instead of giving a squeeze bulb to Mila:

say "'I'll pass. Too cheesy for me.'"

The conversation of Mila Mondatha is Table of Mondatha Topics.

The ignorant response of Mila is "'Sorry, I don't know anything about that.'"
