Who: Han Solo [
falconing] and YOU.
Broadcast: Network-wide!
Action: The Huntress.
When: Now!
[ han solo, on board the huntress, has had a tumultuous week. nothing in comparison to his friends (though, really, if his long-lost family showed up here, han probably wouldn't be able to recognize them, let alone marginally care), but tiring all the same. he's been collecting information from passerby and explored arslae quite a bit. now, he's ready to talk on the network.
of sorts, anyway.
han is sitting at his pilot station in the huntress, and there are some missing panels and things being rearranged and han setting up his chair just the way he likes it. there's no chewbacca here (annoyingly, and, if han admits it, depressingly), so han is doing the work on his own. with some interruptions.
after a moment or two of thinking, han decides to speak.
(if he were smart, he would've figured out what he wanted to say beforehand, but that shit isn't for corellian smugglers.) ]
So I guess I've been assigned to the Huntress, and I've met most of you on board so far... but greetings, salutations, whatever. I'm Han Solo, your new pilot. I'd apologize for the mess, but you'll thank me later.
[ probably. if he doesn't blow up the ship first. ]
I've got a few questions about this Fleet -- one, how many people around here have actually set foot off planet before coming here? Two, any of you know how to fly a ship before getting here? Second part -- who here is a pilot? And three, if any of you have seen a Wookiee by the name of Chewbacca -- he's tall, furry, growls a lot, might've threatened to kill you once or twice -- steer him in my direction. He's harmless. Mostly.
[ han seems to be ready to leave it there, but he glances toward his station before resettling his focus on the camera with a grin, eyes bright. to those who know han solo, esteemed general of the rebellion and captain of the millennium falcon, you can almost be guaranteed what is about to come out of his mouth is no good. ]
So who wants to test out how fast these buckets of bolts can go?
[ confirmed. ]

[They could all just an adrenaline rush, surely. And he'd love to see if this guy's bragging is legit.
Actually, it's kind of weirdly familiar.]
[video]
What ship're you on?
[ so han can keep a running counter ]
[video]
[It's not as cool a name as Huntress, but it does okay.]
[video]
[ so long as anakin isn't the one bc han will totally cheat. ]
[video]
[Or he will once he meets the one he hasn't met yet.]
You're pretty confident for someone who just got here, though.
[video]
[ han can fly anything, really, even if he does have one very obvious preferred vehicle. before the falcon, he had hopped around the galaxy pretty much in anything he could. and during the rebellion, it was fly what was needed for the mission, even if he did stick to the falcon for the most part. ]
At least I'm being honest. I'm one of the best pilot's in the galaxy -- people shouldn't get their hopes up.
[ he's being a little gracious, ok. a little. ]
[video]
...oh.]
W-well... I'm looking forward to seeing you in action, then, whether we join your race or not.

{ granted han is used to being the pilot and the engineer and the medic and everything else on the falcon but hey ]
[video]
[Though he would certainly say that engineers help getting ships to where they need to be!]

[He's not sure if she's the type to order a race or not, but hey, it's a nice back-up idea.]
[video]
[ if not her, surely the pilots will be interested. ]
