Uh, this is Stormtrooper ... zero, fifty, zero, omega (that works, he supposes) we have a situation here, requesting backup. We have a wookie on the loose, I repeat, we have a wookie on the loose. Warning, warning, warning, warning he's loose in sectors four, five and seven. Probably.

Possibly.

We aren't sure, but that's why I'm requesting backup because how am I supposed to scout this entire facility for him?

(there's the sound of a laser shooting something) Also, cancel that reactor leak. I think I fixed it. Uhm, you never answered how you were doing?

[cons]

... Sure.

I mean, yeah. I know it seems nuts, but if he says he's Obi Wan, and he's wearing his robes, he really is Obi Wan.

[carbonite]

You sure? Here I thought that he was born old. (sigh:)

Say I do buy your story, kid owes me a whole lot of money for all of this trouble.

[cons]

He owes you money?

[ oop oop she needs to be careful. then again, even from just what she's seen of Obi Wan here, he doesn't seem like a 'can I borrow a grand?' kinda guy. but, yanno. ]

You should buy my story though, it's the truth. What would I gain from a lie about that?

[carbonite]

He didn't pay me the agreed amount.

(he mulls it over for a bit, trying to work it from every angle but he does not come up with the worst possible outcome as he should have.)

What do I have to lose if I listen to you?

[cons]

Connections mean everything here, especially with people you know from home. Not very often people get that privilege. [ she's trying to sound passive, even though oh my god she means it so much. she really misses her sister ok. ]

So, nothing. You don't have anything to lose if you listen to me.

[ tiny bit smug ]

[carbonite]

I don't know any of these people, I don't know what you're talking about. (that's why he's looking for Chewie. You can't have Han without him.)

Still don't get it, you know.

[cons]

Sure you do, you know Obi Wan Kenobi. So I'm saying, if you don't believe me - that Obi Wan is Obi Wan - then you actually won't know anyone here. Hence, what you'll lose, if you don't listen to me, is knowing someone here. ... It makes sense. It's your loss, if you don't believe me. Right. There. Anyway.

-- Get what?

[carbonite]

You do realize that you make no sense, right?

[cons]

I make perfect sense!

Your question didn't make much sense, that's the problem.

[carbonite]

Uh huh, sure.

[cons]

[ just hiding her face in her hands for a second because this is ridiculous how does she even mange to- ]

Anyway.

There aren't any stormtroopers here, so don't worry about that. I'd be lying if I said 'you're safe here', but you're safe from whatever you were in the middle of back home, at least.

[carbonite]

You know, you keep telling me things expecting me to trust you.

[cons]

As opposed to telling you things in hopes that you don't trust me?

[carbonite]

You did just tell me that the old man that got me into this huge mess is young again, so pardon me if I'm not a believer just yet.

[cons]

... Okay, point. But you also woke up in a tub of goo, is that normal for you?

It's not Obi Wan's fault you're here, by the way.

[carbonite]

Who're you to judge what's normal for me or what's not? (which means yes, it's abnormal for him. don't hate.)

Lets not even get started on what is or isn't the Old Man's fault.

[cons]

I'm asking! [ and she's laughing ] I wasn't judging, I'm just saying. "I woke up naked in a goo tube, on a ship I've never seen before" is the norm here. So is following up said goo bath with a Q&A session. I'm just.. dishing out As without the Qs.

[carbonite]

Really, when haven't you woken up naked in a strange place? (a beat:) The goo is a new one, though.

[cons]

There you go.

Either way, I don't have any reason to lie. After a year you start to realize there's nothing to be gained from holding out information here, it all ends up coming out one way or another anyway.

[carbonite]

(he's hesitant.) Alright. What else can you tell me?

[cons]

... Well I dunno, um. Ask me things. Just nothing to do with how or why we're here, because nobody knows. And the only two people that might know but never feel like sharing with the rest of the class are currently MIA.

[carbonite]

And no one has ever thought about beating it out of them?

[cons]

[ mouth opens!

..then.....closes..? ]

Huh, you know? I don't think anybody's actually tried that.

[carbonite]

Who knew that violence was the answer?

[cons]

Or it'll just land you some time in the brig.

The two left from the original crew of this ship are the old captain, and her first officer.
