Who: Nomi Sunrider
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva, Hospitality Deck
When: Current

[A woman in green looks down at the camera, red curls spilling over her face as she inspects it with a gentle, if somewhat unamused look in her eye. She got the briefing it seems, and she's not happy but shouting is only giving her captors what they want. Silent for a few moments, her head quirks to one side a fraction, a bit like a bird studying the ground.

Seeming to come to a conclusion, she nods to herself and finally speaks. Her tone is formal and polite, though there is an undercurrent of uncertainty. Would she be speaking to nobody?]

I understand I'm to be residing aboard this...fleet...and that these communication devices are how we connect with one another. And that means introductions.

[A breath as she seems to compose herself, pushing hair out of her eyes and smiling genially. Her moment of weakness and uncertainty was done.]

My name is Nomi Sunrider, currently of Coruscant. I believe I have an understanding of the basics of what happened, though I would appreciate information that our hosts have not provided. I'd also like to know more about you, whomever might be listening to this. There's little point in being whisked away to another...reality...[She grimaces around the words.] and not at least learning from the experience. [Best to be diplomatic, right?] A name, a favored story, anything. It'd be more worthwhile and significantly less maddening than this horrible canned music.

[Her eyes close, head swiveling slightly to the left as something catches her attention.]

And I feel a handful of individuals strong in the Force present here. I would appreciate it if you would contact me. [A deep, deep frown.] And tell me, why do I sense my daughter's presence?

[See, Rogue normally lets other people who are a lot better at this sort of thing handle... this sort of thing.

But she basically feels compelled to respond any time someone says something negative about the music on Marsiva. It. Was. Torture.]

The music's a little fainter in the halls. But not by much.

[It's a something, at least. Nomi rises and walks, plainly taking the advice. Her expression softens a little bit, less annoyed now.]

Thank you, miss. That's a bit better.

I just hope ya don't get stuck with the one featurin' the xylophone an' wind chimes. The mediocre sax is bad enough.

[A shudder. Worst welcome ever.]

[seaoflight]

I...don't even know what those instruments are. I assume they're instruments.

[She completely agrees.]

[touchofrogue]

Uh... chimes are... chimes. A xylophone... [How to. Describe a xylophone sound.] Just gets all... dingy. But airy at the same time.

[Rogue gives up.] It's a new level of 'no'. Maybe you'll get lucky an' not hear it.

[seaoflight]

Ah. I...think I mostly hear something quietly electronic. But it's bearable now, thank you.

[Nomi shrugs. Music wasn't really her thing.]

Who might you be, miss?

[touchofrogue]

Name's Rogue. [Something should come after this, but the woman had already said her name so. Uh.] Welcome ta space. [?]

[seaoflight]

[The woman laughs, happy and honest, totally tickled to hear that.]

Thank you, Rogue. A pleasure. I'm familiar with space, but there is something about this that feels different than last.

[touchofrogue]

[Dryly:] I can practically guarantee ya that it's just as cold.

[Not that. She's had recent experience. Or anything. Either way, it seems like Nomi's got her feed under her and she can see Jim already spoke with her, so Rogue feels as though her job here is done.]
