Good afternoon.

[This feels so much more formal than her first, pretty much accidental broadcast. Leia's sitting at a table she found in a quiet corner of a Starlight restaurant, hands folded on the surface before her.]

I'm interested in any information you might have on past escapes from the Fleet, whether successful or not, or on people who have been sent away by the Atroma. If we pool our resources, my hope is that we'll have a better chance of finding ways to send home those Fleet members whose priorities lie elsewhere.

I've attached my own experiences below, in the interest of adding to our current knowledge base. Any intelligence you can offer, however small, has the potential to be of use.

Thank you.

[It's the executive summary of a report, because of course it fucking is.]

Timeline: First three days docked at the FS Starlight
Location: FS Starlight, SS Lornlo
Contact: Leia Organa, Windrose

Mission goal: Begin journey home using local transport

Highlights:
‣ Made contact with beings (both human and alien) of various ships
‣ Demands from many for payment up front for
‣ Traded work for passage on the SS Lornlo
‣ Completed menial tasks aboard ship for Captain Graatix
‣ Duration of trip: several hours
‣ Transported back to the Fleet immediately upon leaving Fleet area of influence

Notes:
‣ Evidence in favor of the augment's primary role in tying beings to the Fleet
‣ Ship quality outside of the Fleet appears to be as good or better as within
‣ Multiple alien races present on the FS Starlight,
‣ No additional details on location gainned

Next steps:
‣ Investigation of potential for disabling augment
‣ Purchase of ship parts (local equivalent to hyperdrive?) to patch into existing Fleet systems
‣ Further questioning of locals for information regarding area
‣ Discuss experiences with Fleet members for further insight

[ooc: Interaction around/during said escape attempt can also happen here if you're interested.]

[ Most of the names (and terms) are unfamiliar to Alisaie though she finds her interest drawn in all the same. The manner in which the information is presented (willingly, without cost) makes this Leia Organa a person of interest. ]

Thank you for this report. [ She'll even dip her head in gratitude towards the screen. ]

Afraid I have very little to offer in return though if I am to make a discovery, you will be the first person I contact.

You're welcome--I'm glad it can be of some use.

And I'll keep an eye out for messages. [They can live in hope, right?] What's your name?

[ Hope breeds progression so Alisaie will always try to look for it, especially now that her resolve has been strengthened. ]

Alisaie Leveilleur. [ With a bow included even if it does feel odd to bend her body towards such a device. ]

One of the newer arrivals from what I've gathered here on the Marsiva.

[imahologram]

It's nice to meet you, Alisaie.

[She inclines her head a little in return.]

We've had a lot of those lately. Have you been settling in all right?

[discessum]

Yes, everyone has been kind to me thus far. [ It's refreshing considering she just left a world full of men trying to assassinate her brother and when they weren't attempting to cash in on a bounty, there were attempts to con a man out of their coin. ]

I do not know what to make of it yet. Once I have the time, I shall browse the archives of this console and see what turns up.

[imahologram]

That's good to hear. [She'll say this for the Fleet: the captives are certainly friendly, even if there's nothing else to recommend it.]

Good idea. Let me know if you find anything interesting--there are a lot of archives I haven't had time to look through yet.

[discessum]

Yes, of course. [ She nods to show she understands although apprehension quickly makes an appearance. ]

Although I'm discovering that what I may find of interest may not be all that helpful to others. Are there specific terms I should look for?

[imahologram]

So far, anything related to the augments, travel, teleportation...It's hard to know for certain what's going to be useful for our purposes. Anything related to coming and going from the Fleet has potential, though.
