[ 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.

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

I'm sure. [ Dryly. ]

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

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

Really? I assume it isn't from lack of trying, or are they that stupid?

It's not from lack of trying.

What have they tried? Any idea?

People have explored the ship a lot, periodically new parts open up -- that always gathers more attention.

From who? The people up top? Or... [ This sounds ridiculous, but she's hearing a log of this shit here. ] the kriffing ship?

...I don't know what kriffing is, but yeah, it seems like the ship might just have a mind of it's own, honestly.

Mm. That's not very good news.

[ Said like she's encountered it before.

Her life is weird. ]

A sentient ship doesn't sound like it's going to make things easy for anyone here, not that it's surprising.

Things generally aren't easy for people here. or if they are, it doesn't last long.

Mm, I noticed that. Waking up like I did was bad enough.

I can't imagine how much worse it's going to get.

Don't worry, you probably won't have to imagine long.

That often, this weird stuff happens?

Just about, yeah.

Just great. No way to stop it, either?

If there is, no one's found it yet.

Stang.

Seems like I'll need to work on that.

Stang? Is that supposed to be some sort of curse?

[ Well, this is awkward. How do you explain huttese curses... ]

Yes, that's exactly it.

Right. You'd think I'd get used to weird lingo after a year here.

Trust me, I've heard weirder. There are some languages out there where it's rough on the throat and for the ears.

[ Like wookiespeak. ]

I don't doubt that. I can't say I've been exposed to a lot of otherwordly languages.

There you go. Where I come from, it's pretty common to hear a variety on a daily basis, as long as you're not from some backwater swamphole.

Yeah. I think it varies, here. Some people have been exposed to much, some a lot more.
