[ When she flicks the device on, she's pulling away, like she very obviously set it onto something so she could look slightly down at it. When she pulls away, the camera gives a sight of a woman who looks like she's in her mid-thirties. She's dressed in, well, something close to a black catsuit, and she folds her arms over her chest while she looks at the item. If anything, she looks a touch annoyed, but that's the last of the emotion on her face, and when she speaks, her voice is painfully level. The most important thing to note is that at her hip, there's a flash of metal that could just be a rather sophisticated, cylyndrical weapon. ]

I've done my research, so I don't need the basics. I'm looking for details, or specs, if you have them. I've figured out that whoever took me has to be an idiot for giving me an opportunity to talk over these things, and leave me with my weapons.

[ A quirk of an eyebrow. ]

It's messy.

So, has anyone met them? Has anyone said why, or are they just idiots? If not, then I guess there's at least some mystery to whatever it is I've stepped into this time. I don't suppose it's too much to ask about who's on here, is it? Getting a scope of the field will help out more than anything else.

You're asking a lot from people in the same boat. Literally.

[ Wait for it. There's a moment, where she toys with the thing, and it switches through the modes, before she settles on the one she likes, aka: video mode.

She's squinting at the camera. ]

Any cooperation is asking for a lot when it comes to you, Solo.

[he squints back. what the hell, was he that awesome and great that everyone knows who he is?]

Well, I guess you got me. [BT] Our galaxy, or am I just that well known on the ship?

[redhanding]

[ She's still squinting. She doesn't say anything for a long time, while she worries around the problem, before she decides to roll with it. ]

I just got here. Apparently I know you, but you don't know me. Funny. [ Guess that's why he looks like a baby. Spoilers: kids age you, Han. ]

[lockwood]

[...Really?] Nope. The rest of us definitely enjoy being on the crazy ship so much none of us have bothered to ask why.

video

[redhanding]

I'm sure. [ Dryly. ]

But if any of you were to, would you have found something?

video

[lockwood]

Not really. There are people who have been here from the beginning who don't seem to know anything.

[Well, Nomi certainly isn't hiding her own "sophisticated, cylindrical weapon" either. She comes on, bright and sunny despite being exhausted. Sleep? Not so much lately.]

No, unfortunately. This ship may as well be crewed by ghosts.

[Video]

[redhanding]

Ghosts.

[ She shifts, tightening her arms around her middle. ]

That's absurd. Got any other bright ideas?

[Video]

[ridesthesun]

I was joking.

[Now she's not.]

As far as we know the original crew is mostly dead. And the remaining members aren't terribly talkative.

HUFFHUFF I AM ABOUT TO RUN TO WORK BUT FIRST

[enforced]

Do you mean the elusive captain?

ZOOMS HOME TO YOU

[redhanding]

Among others. Whoever caused me to be here.

8D

[enforced]

There's no real blame to assign.

[Abby's features are gaunt, drawn. She blinks blearily for a second or two, trying to decide if she should respond or just go back to trying not to sleep.

She finds she can't resist.]

If you've done your research, shouldn't you already know the answer to your question?

Video

[redhanding]

And asking questions isn't a way to take it to the next level?

Video

[becauseihaveto]

No, it is. [a shrug] You're just the one who said you'd already figured out the basics, and it seems pretty basic to me that whoever is in charge isn't really talking. [There's a ghost of a smirk, now.] And that they're idiots.

video

[okayokay]

They're fucking hard to find. That's the problem.

video

[redhanding]

Apparently. There's not a lot of information, I noticed.

video

[okayokay]

Yeah. We're all just stuck. Not like it's a big problem. Just don't do something stupid and it's not that big a deal.

[Shrug]

Unless you had something waiting back home.

...good luck tracking them down.

[ neal's got wasnik issues, news at eleven ]

[redhanding]

Apparently that seems to be a reoccurring trend, here. Either nobody's capable of it, or hasn't tried.

Seems like more the former than the latter, too.

[became]

Oh, no-- we've met. But that was a long time ago, before we knew anything about them.

[Another Jedi - one she doesn't know. So then the question becomes future or past. Which means Mara has a Togruta youngling looking back at her. She too, has a metal cylinder strapped to her belt.]

I don't think anyone's worried about leaving us with our weapons.

video

[redhanding]

Apparently. [ She notes the lightsaber, young lady. She's just not going to comment on it, either. ]

That's a dangerous mistake to make.

video

[padawansnips]

I'll say. Though from the sounds of it we'll need them if we're going to stick around this place.

[Not something she's looking forward to.]
