Who: Hera and YOU!
Broadcast: Video; fleetwide.
Action: The Marsiva hospitality deck.
When: January 4

[ Well, this is clearly a ship, in space, but it's not the Ghost, or any other ship she might be familiar with. It also clearly isn't an Imperial Star Destroyer - if Hera had been captured by the Empire, she'd be really obviously in a prison cell, or worse. Plus, there are no stormtroopers in sight. So, probably not Empire, but probably not the rebellion, either.

Other than that, it could be just about anyone holding her. And she needs to get more information on the situation. A number of possibilities present themselves - she could keep her head down, sneak around, and see if she can eavesdrop it. Or she could play the wide-eyed innocent, and use this handy-dandy video link she seems to be equipped with (seriously, who gives a captive a comm link anyway?)

The comm could be some kind of trick or trap, but Hera trusts her own resourcefulness, so eventually, she flips it on. ]

Uh, hello? I think there might've been a misunderstanding of some sort, here. I've lost track of my ship - were we supposed to go through some kind of inspection?

[ Hera Syndulla: Totally Innocent Freighter Pilot. ]

[ Hang on a minute, Han. She has to process this. She's not exactly used to near-strangers telling her things like "oh by the way, your dream, the thing you've devoted your life to, is actually going to happen, you're going to succeed".

Breathe, Hera. Breathe. ]

We did it? We're - going to do it? Just like that?

It's not gonna be quick.

[ or easy. ]

But we win, in the end. Shockingly.

[ han, the eternal pessimist, really is surprised. ]

I was ready to celebrate before I got dragged here.

[ Fortunately, she was never under the illusion that it would be quick or easy. She's always known the uphill battle enemies of the Empire face, always known the odds were against them.

So, if this guy - who knows about the rebellion, certainly, is telling the truth, then - ]

If that's the case, then - I need to get back more than ever.

[ But she's smiling a little as she says it. ]

You and me both.

[ he wants to get luke, leia, and himself home yesterday, but alas. that's not in the cards for captain solo this time around. ]

Enjoy the vacation while it lasts, though. I'm betting this is a lot slower paced than whatever you're dealing with.

A vacation, right. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

[ Seriously, sitting still? Doing nothing? Why? ]

I've got a laundry list of things I want to do.

[ point one: do nothing.

do literally nothing. ]

Well, that's something we have in common.

[ It's just that her list is mostly, "tear down the Empire, brick by brick". ]

Well, look at that, the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[ with a grin.

she should meet leia, han thinks idly. they'd probably get along famously. ]

[ Hera has a little smile of her own. ]

Maybe. Though, most of my friendships start out with a little more excitement. Sometimes explosions.

Same here.

[ though han is only recently mastering the art of making legitimate friends, tbh ]

I'm guessing you're good at running, though.

[ Kanan at least has a head start on him there. ]

When I have to, sure.

Then we'll get along great.

Hey, I'll let you know about my nefarious plans if you do the same for me, okay?

You've got yourself a deal, soldier.
