Who: Leia Organa & you (yes, you)
Action: The Marsiva. Up, down, and all around.
When: December 28th
[To suggest Leia is annoyed with her presence on the Marsiva is to commit gross understatement. After years of struggle, the Rebel Alliance has fatally crippled the Empire, and the Republic of old is within their grasp--and here she is, trapped in an enormous holo-serial untold light years away.
She could scream. She really could.
Her first thought, once she's aware of the communications network, is to seek information that way. Without more knowledge of this place and the 'Atroma' keeping them captive, however, it seems unwise to call quite that much attention to her initial inquiries if she can help it. Atroma (the Atroma?) is supposedly recording their every move, but she's not about to make it any easier for it (them?) to sort through hours of footage to find the interesting bits. Irritation is no excuse for carelessness.
So she swallows back her frustration for the moment and talks to the people she meets on deck. Smalltalk--how are you, have you been here long, so on and so forth. And sprinkled in occasionally, the big question:]
What do you think of the Fleet?

Well, compared to the fleets of my home world? It's nice that it exists. Kinda lacking firepower and autonomy, but considering we don't have a legion of enemies on our ass, the firepower thing is ... only mildly disappointing.
I'm not really a Fleet kinda guy myself; I prefer the independent contractor sort of lifestyle, personally.

[Hey, if Hutts have a place, however odious, in the universe, so do teal robot-unicorn people.
And why should Lando Calrissian be the only one with a cape?]And what do you normally contract to do?
[First guess: smuggling. Blame the company she keeps.]
no subject
The Awoken, though? Well, they had something pretty impressive, but unfortunately it was no match for the God that came trolling through our system. [But Cayde's never one for ending on a sour note.]
Oh, you know, whatever's fun and will net me a good amount of Glimmer. Scavaging, mostly, intel, scouting ... whatever. You got something you need done?

[Space travel, however out of reach, is familiar, but Glimmer, Nihilists, Dead Orbit, the Awoken? She can guess at what they are--the world doesn't seem to changethat much between locations--but the specifics are lost on Leia.]
I don't have any jobs at the moment, but I'll call on you if that changes. Unless you can tell me a little more about this fleet, that is.

Awoken aren't a faction; they're a race. Kinda ... aloof, stubborn, got this whole blue glowy thing going on. They're pretty tough, though; living out on the edge of space. We got three factions at the Tower now; Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and Future War Cult. Kind of beside the point, though ...
This fleet ... it's diverse, it's also kinda bullshit. I mean, they're really tight on the whole no-weapons thing, but on the other hand it's not like we got a lot of enemies. I been here about three months and I can't imagine one hour in my homeworld that was this uneventful. [He stops and thinks for a moment,] No, no, one minute; there was always something going on. What I can tell you is sit back, relax, get to know your crew ... sometimes things get interesting but they never really get like, weird.
Oh, and on an unrelated note ... you play poker?
