ataraxion | (video | live with han solo and obi wan kenobi.)

(welcome to the shuttle bay with han and obi-wan. excuse the fact that there's a shuttle that han's stripped and that obi-wan generally looks like he has a bad feeling about all of this.)

I think if you follow the guidelines set by the Security Team, you should be safe. Stay in groups. Don't engage.

(there's a beep and a long protest as Arfour says something, but she's not in view. that's when han just takes off his goggles off to actually prove obi-wan wrong.)

No, this is what you do. If you see a pirate? Shoot them. (wait, this is a jedi he's talking to.) Or use the Force, you know what you do.

(obi-wan looks irritated for a moment, but he'll take this moment to roll his eyes and cross his arms)

If you don't have training, don't engage.

If you don't have training, get someone else to shoot them. If they talk to you, shoot them. If they even look at you, shoot them. If they ask you how you're doing, shoot them. If they're dying outside your room, watch them die and then shoot them to make sure they don't get up.

(han's getting a little serious about this.)

I'm going back to work.

(aaaaaand Obi-Wan walks a little away, Arfour beeping after him, but she's still not visible on screen)

Don't touch anything, I'm redoing the - (han was running after him before running back to turn off the communicator.)

'Cause I can tell.

You can't just go shoot people even if they're stealin'. Sometimes you have to steal from big things so you can survive. Don't mean nothin'.

She might be trying to be your friend to gain something. Access to the ship.

She's already on the ship.

Don't you think that if they wanted to hurt us they would have done it? They know where we are and everything, but they're leavin' us alone.

We just ain't got to shoot her if she done nothing.

They're on some part of the ship.

You don't have to shoot anyone.

I don't want no one else to shoot her either.

That's admirable. It's also not very realistic.

I...if I find her I ain't gonna let no one shoot her.

[Tomorrow he will start looking for her]

I know everyone is smart about space and I ain't, but I know about other things. Just cause you take things don't mean you're bad. Shooting a lady who ain't done nothing makes you bad, not her.

The kinds of things they want to take may not be the kinds of things that we can afford to lose. Parts. Food. Water.

I told that other fellow that she said we can go to a station.

She's offering to strand us.

Can't you take that shuttle thing?

There aren't enough shuttles for us all. And without the Jump, we don't understand enough to get home.

Being stranded isn't ever a good thing. Ever.

I bet iffin you ask she won't take everything we need to move.

She shouldn't take anything.

What if they just take the bits we don't need?

[There's a pause, because this is going nowhere]

Have you been in space before?

Nah, ain't no spaceships where I'm from. Well, there's sort of spaceships but only science people are on them.

Then let me explain: we can't risk it.

[He understands, but his face shows that he doesn't think any of this is fair or right]

Least try and talk to her before shootin' her. Please?

I'm not likely to shoot anyone. I'll always try for diplomacy, first.

That other fellow said to shoot them. He weren't serious were he?

[He shakes his head and sighs]

'right. Just, if he is serious don't let him shoot her before trying to talk to her.

I'll try my best.
