Who: Jaina
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: There's a new engineer joining the Bishop.
When: She might manage to wait five minutes after the latest shuffling.
The layout of these controls don't make any kind of sense. Not by any scheme I've seen on a ship, anyway.
[Yep, there is a teenager with her device propped on a nearby console, leaning elbows on another while she peers at it, intent. As she goes, she nearly taps buttons and levers, behaving enough not to actually muck with anything.]
It's not like snubfighter controls. Believe me, I know. But if this were anything like a Corellian YT-series I'd expect this to handle pitch, and...that should be yaw. Are the thrusters strictly forward? Maybe there's a z-axis control.
[These are all incorrect, and she seems to understand that. She chews her bottom lip, distracted with thought, before she finally turns her head to look directly into the camera again.]
How universal are the designs on these ships? I'm on Bishop, and there's a few things I can peg as customizations, but not too much. I've got a feeling I should try to learn as much as I can. Especially if I'm going to have to open a few of these panels up after a while to make sure it keeps working correctly.
[Admittedly, part of that feeling is the simple fact that regardless of the circumstances surrounding her presence in this fleet, she is stoked about learning the intricacies of a new style of ship.]

Re: :3
Oh, no. Ahsoka, she loves to argue. In fact, I give you permission to argue with her as often as possible.

[At least he doesn't also have to deal with overly quirky droids at the same time.]
no subject
Anyway.
I know where-- when you come from, there are certain things that are true. It hasn't happened to me yet. From my perspective, your mother hasn't even been born yet. [ Or hell, thought of ]
But you're right. I'm a Jedi but I'm a husband and I suppose [ A reluctant sigh ] later, I'll be a father and a grandfather. Those will always be before my status as a Jedi.
no subject
Does one really have to come before another? Uncle Luke is training me in the Force, but that doesn't mean he stops being my uncle.
no subject
Hold that thought. Luke trains you? Not... Not Obi-Wan?
no subject
[Because even Obi-wan's ghost is done with all this, but she doesn't know the specifics of it.]
no subject
Why is that?
no subject
[She doesn't like admitting ignorance, but it's better to play it straight.]
no subject
... Are you happy, Jaina? At home, I mean.
no subject
Mom's the chief of state, so she's pretty busy, but it's nice knowing we're all doing what we can to help. Dad does some missions, and he makes sure to treat us when he can.
[Dad is the least useful person in the family, but she loves him so much.]
no subject
[ Or her parents. Either or ]
But it sounds like you're not bothered by their busy lives.
no subject
No, I am happy. Jobs and home lives get mixed up, but that's going to happen with anyone. Besides, if we're going to be Jedi, we're going to need plenty of exposure to different cultures. If Mom brings an ambassador home for dinner, that's a great learning experience, right?
no subject
It is. And I'm glad to hear that you are.
no subject
Maybe you could tell me what the Jedi were like back then.
no subject
[ A beat ]
Did no one ever told you what they were like? Surely there are holocorns all over the galaxy that are still intact.

Ahsoka...

Oh, you're absolutely right, Ahsoka. I should be happy about this; the children I never thought about having or the grandchildren I didn't even know I would have. I don't have to worry about the diapers [ well, that's probably pretty nice ] or teaching them anything or knowing them at all. They just come full grown. Almost like a clone. Perfect.

... Wow. What crawled up your butt and died today?
You can get to know them now, can't you?
