Who: Luke Skywalker
Broadcast: Fleetwide (Accidental)
Action: Marsiva
When: 2/16

[Luke Skywalker is sitting pensively in front of one of the wide windows on the Marsiva's Hospitality Deck. Rather than staring out into the darkness of space, he's bent over a tiny silver disk in his hands. It's open, revealing a series of wires, something mechanical and complex. Lacking any proper tools of his own, Luke is replying it with careful fingers and, occasionally, teeth.]

[Lacking any proper supplies, he's forced to improvise. At one point, he removes the glove on his right hand. There's a burn over the back, but the flesh cracks open to reveal more wires and mechanistry. Luke pulls some wires out, breaks them and inserts them into the disk. It seems to cause some of the fingers on his hand to twitch irregularly, but the disk is repaired. He presses a button, and a little blue holograph of a smiling couple appears.]

[He stares at it for a little while.]

[Finally, Luke notices that he's being recorded.]
Hello, there. How long have you been on, hm? [He reaches over and turns off the feed.]

[Actually wait. A second later, Luke turns the feed back on.]
I suppose if all of this is being recorded, I ought to introduce myself. I'm Luke Skywalker. It's a pleasure to meet you. [His smile kind of... twitches.] All of you.

Well, I've never heard of banthas, so we're even.

...I dunno, maybe humans have them and I just don't know about it.

[The majestic bantha herds of Yellowstone.]

Honestly, if they can't learn to breathe water and they're not on TV a lot, I wouldn't know about them.

...Oh, uh, my people are aquatic, in case the "breathing water" comment didn't make that clear.

[It doesn't occur to her he might get hung up on the "TV" part.]

[Nita smirks, turns a little so the camera has a clear view of the side of her neck, and, the way she might wrinkle her nose, flares her gills, a set of three horizontal slits just under her ears. Now that Luke knows they're there, it's possible to see them when they're closed, a trio of barely-visible lines on either side of her neck.

It's vitally important you not think about how comic book biology works for even one second.]


They stay closed on the surface.

I am. They're not. I'm half human.

Earth.

[It's pretty obscure. You've probably never heard of it.]

The big two are humans and Atlanteans--my people--but there are a few other sentient species hanging around, too.
