ᴏᴏ1 : ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ

Who: Han Solo [[personal profile] 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. ]

Home is where your ship is... I'm sure between the Falcon and the Enterprise, we'd be out of here in no time.

[Which is, of course, precisely while they will never see either ship in this universe.]

That and I'm not really sure what they would do with the rest of my crew... I doubt they want 1000 highly trained members of Starfleet showing up here.

[Even Beverly can’t resist a little bragging now and then - though she very admirably holds back the smirk, her poker face serving her well.]

That’s right. The Enterprise is the flagship of our interstellar republic - what we call the Federation.
dancingmd: (listening)

[She nods.]

There's about a hundred and fifty member planets, all semi-autonomous with democratic representation in the Federation Council.
dancingmd: (chinhands)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-01-23 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah no, I'm afraid not. I assume she's from your world as well?
dancingmd: (why aren't we all being interrogated?)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-01-26 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well then, you'll have to introduce us! I'd love to meet her!
dancingmd: (smile)

[She probably will. Then again, Beverly likes most people, but no doubt she'll be particularly impressed with Leia.]

I look forward to it. You can call me anytime, we'll set up a time and place to meet. Maybe over coffee or tea?
