If Bodhi had to pick his favorite thing about life in this bizarre place, it'd be hearing people independently refer to aspects of his life as happening "in space" as though that described anything at all. It's the same sort of half-tongue-in-cheek placeholder behind Beyond the Outer Rim and all his other old favorite pulp holovids. Sometimes the tech level locally can be a bit frustrating, but that part is just very gratifying.

So it's with a little bit of a snicker that he answers, though he otherwise plays it pretty straight. Explaining that Coruscant isn't exactly in space seems silly at the moment, and frankly he likes the image of an aquarium set up as a tiny, self-sustaining space station. "I... The moon I was born on hasn't had real surface water for millions of years. The sheer volume of, well, you can see holos of things like oceans, but, um, actually seeing it in person, and that's before you take into account the animals. Well. Some of them were plants, or fungi, or colonial--Not important. I remember more about the way they moved than any specific species or detail. There's nothing like it when you're used to rock and wind."
