Who: Kanan Jarrus
Broadcast: All
Action: The Marsiva
When: Does the time of day even matter in space

This is Ghost-1, calling in. Team - sound off.

[... if they're here. Kanan is showing a rare amount of discretion by saying nothing else. His observations from other new arrivals has given him the intel he needs - it's a holodrama with secret recording devices hidden everywhere. It wasn't your run of the mill Imperial gig. So for now, he was going to avoid drawing attention to himself.

In the meantime, he's on the Marsiva exploring. Rather than stand gaping out the windows at space, he's trying to get a sense of the size of the ship he's on. Unfortunately it's not always easy going in a straight line among twisting and turning hallways and trying to hold numbers in his head is not easy. It would be a shame if he lost his count.]

I know. He won't let anything happen to them.

[ Zeb knows - maybe better than any of them - how important it is to keep your loved ones close. And that's what they are - Hera wouldn't pretend to deny it. She loves them, with a fierce sort of protectiveness. ]

I miss them already. I'd give just about anything to hear Zeb and Ezra tearing around after Chopper right now.

[neverknight]

[He reaches his hand across the table to take her own and give a reassuring squeeze. Sometimes, when he's able to think about times like this, it's incredible to think he ever lived so long as a loner.]

We'll get them back, Hera.

[firstrebel]

[ She nods, returning the squeeze. It is good to have Kanan here. Selfishly, perhaps, but there's no one in this galaxy or any other that she trusts more. ]

I know. Thanks.

[neverknight]

[He gives her a reassuring smile and at long last, takes a forkful of the paste and eats it. He wasn't thinking. Instantly he cringes as he swallows it down.]

Ugh. I really hope there's better food on the smaller ships. We haven't ate this bad since that week we were stuck drifting a few years back.

[firstrebel]

[ She smiles a little, relaxing just a tad again. If nothing else, Kanan is good at providing distractions from the things she can't change. ]

Yeah, hopefully the next stop will have fresh food that isn't laced with ridiculous amounts of salt. And is maybe warmer. [ She really hates the cold. ]

[neverknight]

I haven't really decided if it's even worth going down there. It doesn't sound exactly rich in useful resources.

[And well. Cold. He really doesn't relish the idea of shivering down there.]

[firstrebel]

[ Kanan, you're talking to a woman who was born and raised in a desert. ]

It's better to know for sure than to speculate.

[neverknight]

[And he was born and raised on a planet that is literally cities. He is the ultimate city slicker.]

I'm pretty sure I know it's freezing down there.

[firstrebel]

Sometimes, we have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

[ She pauses a beat. ]

But I'm glad I don't have to assess whether it'd be a good place for a rebel base.

[neverknight]

Well, it's definitely not going to be found by the Empire anytime soon. So it does have that going for it.

[Besides. This may just be a different rebellion. Different enemy, but still the same cause.]

[firstrebel]

No, that doesn't seem to be much of a concern, here.

Honestly, I'm almost ready to buy the "reality holodrama" story, if only because... they don't seem to be doing anything else with us. What's the purpose of having us here?

[neverknight]

It's that or some kind of social experiment. You always hear things about science guilds rounding up people.

[It wasn't the kind of thing that rational people really gave a lot of thought to - certainly Kanan hadn't. Still, it seemed slightly more reasonable than a holodrama. After all, it didn't seem exactly smart to broadcast you had hostages.]

[firstrebel]

It's like having to decide between the ridiculous story, or the absurd one.

[ Hera doesn't like either. And, regardless, she plans to find out the real reason they're here. Not to mention how to get home. But she knows Kanan's with her on that. ]

[neverknight]

And neither work out in our favor. [A sigh and then he pushes himself from the seat to stand up.]

Well, we've got time. Care to look around? [There's not a lot of cause to need to catch up with one another, but they can at least go snooping around in one another's company.]

[firstrebel]

That sounds like a good idea.

[ Much better than the food, anyway. Recon at least will make her feel like she's accomplishing something. And there's no one better to do it with than Kanan. It'll almost be like old times! ]
