[effluent]

Who: The crew of the SS Golden and any visitors!
Broadcast: Could be? We'll see what people do.
Action: SS Golden
When: 01/18 -> Any time in the coming week

[Ah, the Golden. A lovely little ship with a weird little crew. They got two new people last week, and now another person? How will they all get along? Tune in and find out!

Yep yep, it's a mingle, crew of the Golden. Time for all these weirdos to hang out and see what happens...]

[if the worst thing that could be said was that it wasn't the Ghost, then he supposed they weren't doing terrible.]

Security. One of three others. Along with two captains on one ship.

[He is so not impressed.]

[firstrebel]

That doesn't make any sense. Where's the chain of command? What happens if one captain's orders contradict the other's?

[ Ridiculous. This whole place is ridiculous. ]

Then again, it's about as logical as none of these ships having hyperdrives.

[neverknight]

I haven't got the whole story yet. The senior one is about as pleasant as an Inquisitor. The newer has a little more charm to her. I don't think the old captain is really thrilled at the captaincy having turned into a popularity contest.

[Not that he particularly liked the guy - but a takeover on a ship was no small issue. And he didn't much appreciate the notion he was expected to pick a side.]

[firstrebel]

Mm. [ Hera sits back, crossing her arms over her chest thoughtfully. ] If you have a co-captaincy, it only works if both know how to work together, complementing each other. If they're at odds, it puts everyone on the crew at odds, too.

[ Like when Mom and Dad fight and the kids get upset Kanan and Hera have differences of opinion and then everyone else doesn't know how to deal with it. ]

Good luck staying out of that.

[neverknight]

Ha. I don't think I'll have much luck with that.

[He wonders if there is any openings on this ship. Then he could just go duck into a side corridor with Hera and ignore everyone else.]

Is there anywhere on this ship we can talk? Not that I don't like our chats on the bridge, but...

[Well. This wasn't the Ghost bridge. And the seats just weren't set up the way he liked them for those one on one chats.]

[firstrebel]

[ Hera nods, and stands, waving him out to the hall. ]

We have individual bunks. Very luxurious.

[ Well, they're private, anyway. ]

[neverknight]

Individual, huh? That's the lap of the luxury. I'm jealous.

[... it's literally the same setup as what he has. But he still pretends to be impressed anyway. Sarcastically.]

[firstrebel]

Better than being crammed in with a bunch of strangers.

[ Hera has always valued what privacy she can get. It can be tough in such close quarters.

She waves Kanan inside and makes sure the door is closed behind them. At least Ezra isn't around to eavesdrop? She kind of wishes he was, though. ]

I've already spoken to someone who is interested in testing our boundaries, so to speak. Seeing if we can find a chink in the Marsiva's defenses, get on board.

[neverknight]

[Well, that's Hera. He'd walked in expecting to have to unravel his encounter with Obi-Wan but while he'd been dealing with his personal demons, she'd been getting business done. Good on her.]

You know I'm up for any op that gets us out of here. Who's the someone?

[firstrebel]

[ She doesn't like to waste time. ]

She calls herself Rogue. It's really just more recon, to see what we can get away with, but it's a start.

[ She has a feeling Kanan has something to talk to her about, but she'll let him ease into it. ]

[neverknight]

Well, she certainly has the right name. Still, if you think it's on the level, I'm in. What does it involve?

[firstrebel]

She wants to approach the Marsiva, see how close we can get, if we can board.

I figure if nothing else I might be able to get a scan or two, see what kind of defenses they might be using.

[neverknight]

Not a bad idea. Are we thinking one of the ships or in a shuttle?

[The former might require a bit more teamwork than is presently manageable.]

[firstrebel]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Just a shuttle. The plan would be she and I taking a shuttle - you stay with the fleet in case something happens and we need to contact you, you can get another shuttle to us if necessary. I don't anticipate any particular trouble, but you never know.

[neverknight]

You know I never do like playing backup.

[But it wouldn't be the first or last he's done that. So aside from mild complaint, he's on board with the plan.]

When does all this go down?

[firstrebel]

I know. But the shuttles only carry two.

[ She'd bring him along, but it's better for the plan that someone who knows where they're going stays behind, and she doesn't trust anyone more than she trusts Kanan. ]

Probably tomorrow. If all goes well, I don't see it taking more than an hour. If we find anything interesting, I'll let you know and we can make more trips later if we want.

[neverknight]

[He nods.]

We'll need to be discrete. Assuming this isn't being broadcast already. [He grimaces as he stares up towards one of the corners in the room as if expecting a camera to be there. But not even his Jedi senses ping him for any kind of surveillance.]

[firstrebel]

You know me, I'm great at being stealthy.

[ She smiles a little. ]

I figure if or when we get some kind of lead - something to actually follow up on, then we can talk about bringing other people into our little conspiracy. If you want.

[ Other Jedi, or not. Whatever you're comfortable with. ]

[neverknight]

[Another rebellion... He knows that's inevitable, but it's not something that comes easy to him. But then, he isn't exactly eager to stick around the fleet either.]

There's a few we can trust. I know that much at least. Maybe even the Jedi.

[Or at least Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. He doesn't really know the others.]

[firstrebel]

You think so?

[ Her look turns curious. ]

Have you spoken to them much? [ Or just avoiding? ]

[neverknight]

Some. [He might just leave it at that, but she deserves better than that.]

I ran into Obi-Wan on the planet. I don't know how he managed it, but he recognized me.

[Maybe he'd been sloppy. Or maybe he'd just forgotten what it was like to be around a real Jedi Master.]

[firstrebel]

That's right, you met him once, didn't you?

[ She watches him carefully, and then offers - ]

I've spoken with him a little, too. He seems like a good man.

[neverknight]

[A nod.] Back when I was a youngling. One of several. [And if he had to be honest, not particularly remarkable.] I don't know how he remembered me.

[He'd changed so much. Obi Wan might not have said it, but he must have thought Kanan a disappointment.]

[firstrebel]

Maybe it's something to do with the Force.

[ Yeah, she doesn't really know. ] Or maybe you were just that memorable.

[neverknight]

It's a Force thing. [He'd never consider himself that memorable.] At this point, I don't know if there's really a point in keeping secrets. But I don't want to have to be the one that has to tell someone like Ahsoka what happens next. She's so different than the one we know.
