[ 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.

[ 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. ]

[carbonite]

Well, isn't this just embarrassing for all of us. [argh, timelines. he hates you. it. thing. maybe.]

[redhanding]

For some of us. I'm sure you don't like being in the dark.

[carbonite]

Then you're going to have a great time here, let me tell you.

[redhanding]

Uh huh.

[ A beat. This is.......weird. ]

It seems bad, but it can't be that bad, right?

[carbonite]

Do you have a bad feeling about this?

[redhanding]

Solo, if I have a bad feeling about something, that's a sign I should probably be ducking.

[carbonite]

Look at you being the only one with common sense on this damn ship.

[redhanding]

That's not exactly a new experience for me.

[carbonite]

Listen, we're from the same place; it shouldn't be a new experience.

[redhanding]

You're right, it's not. Things tend to get a little crazy from time to time, mostly because nobody has any sense.

[carbonite]

Tell me about it. Don't listen to anyone here, though. They seem to think that talking will solve all our problems.

[redhanding]

Talking?

That only goes so far, and sounds more like the kind of thing best left to people who like to waste time.

[carbonite]

[could it be? could it be someone from his galaxy that actually understands it?]

You got a name or are you gonna keep telling me the obvious?

[redhanding]

You can call me Mara Jade, Captain Solo.

[ She totally understands. She's the only other sane person in this Skywalker-Solo clan. ]

[carbonite]

Well then Mara, welcome to the party.

[redhanding]

Yeah, and what a great kriffing party it is.

[carbonite]

Hey, at least there are free drinks.

[redhanding]

There isn't enough alcohol in the world to make this more entertaining.

[carbonite]

What's your opinion on roombas?

( private. )

[redhanding]

What are "roombas"?

( private. )

[carbonite]

They're these tiny cleaning droids that we aren't allowed to touch apparently.

I might be touching them.

( private. )

[redhanding]

Who names a cleaning droid such a stupid name?
