Who: Hera
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: On the station, if you like!
When: Now

[ Hera is seated at a small cafe on the station today, taking a break from the odd jobs she's been doing to earn money. She's got a cup of something hot at her elbow, and she's her usual composed self. ]

So, to those who don't know me, hi. I'm Hera. [ She gives a little wave. ] You might have seen me around, since I've been on the fleet for a couple of months now. For those who haven't, I just thought I should point a couple of things out, since they've been coming up fairly often when I talk to people.

[ She points at her face. ]

I'm green. This might seem self-evident, but I've actually had a surprising number of people point this out to me, as if I hadn't noticed. So I'm telling you now, I've noticed. I'm green. It's genetics, and skin pigment, and I'm aware. I've also noticed that I'm not human - I'm Twi'lek, actually. And - [ Here she points at the top of her head. ] these are called lekku, but you can call them head-tails if you prefer.

Also, in my culture, it's - rude to stare. I know a lot of you aren't familiar with species other than your own, but it can get a little uncomfortable feeling like you're under a microscope.

Humans seem to be a common element in most, if not all, the worlds represented here, though. So, who knows?

You know I never considered the idea but the implications that humans exist outside the Sol system are bewildering at best and viscerally terrifying at worst. Why are we just all over the place? It makes no sense.

I mean, many of the worlds present seem to be... versions? Of one world, or galaxy, I guess. Most of the humans I've asked seem to be from a place you call Earth? Even ones that are from different worlds, or different times.

Yes, the common denominator seems to be our planet called dirt in our system called sun. We're certainly everywhere but not altogether the most creative bunch.

[ Hera has to laugh a little, but she also shrugs. ]

You said it, not me. But there is no such planet or system in my world - not that I'm aware of.
