I tweaked this set of images a little, added one more panel, and changed the dialogue a bit. 

[ Destiny Star ] Luke might have some… enhancements from Jade that an organic person wouldn’t, but even Jade isn’t sure why Luke has developed this odd, latent psionic talent.  It shouldn’t have been possible, yet Luke has shown himself to be instinctively aware of the presence of other sapient beings, especially people with whom he is very familiar. 

But other AI? Sapient, inorganic machines? Less certain. But the Swordians aren’t your everyday, garden variety AI, and Jade had a hunch about this one. His hunches are usually right. 

Also, even if Dymlos “if I had fists, I would be punching you with them” Timber is just as patient (re: not at all) with tomfoolery as he was in canon, I think he’d probably become fond of Luke despite himself.
