Who: The most daring pilot of the Resistance, Poe Dameron!
Broadcast: Video
Action: if anyone else is on the Marsiva!
When: At this very moment

[He wakes up with a little gasp, immediately alert. Poe's not the world's lightest sleeper, but this bunk is way too comfortable, and it doesn't have the vague locker room smell of a Resistance base or the much mankier version that builds up after living in the cockpit of an x-wing for a couple of days.

Definitely doesn't look familiar.]

Huh. What the--

[This is not the first time in recent memory that Poe's woken up in an unfamiliar place. It's a sad measure of his life that this is by far the best one yet. He's not lost in a burning-hot desert with a pennelx-egg-sized bump on his head and no memory of who he is. Yep, still Poe Dameron, first thing he checks. And he's not strapped to the galaxy's most uncomfortable chair and waiting for the next deeply unpleasant conversation with either an Imperial interrogator or Kylo Ren (jury is still out on which of those was actually worse, he tries to not think about it at all).

So really, it could be a lot worse. Even though there does seem to be something going on with his neck, which is probably bad.

Sit up, look around, look down. Well, he's still got his orange flight suit, insignia and everything, but it's clean. So... that's nice. It's also a giant, flashing, hi, I'm with the Resistance sign, which is--good? Bad?

He slips out of bed and tries the door. Open. Okay. Peers out.]

Hello?

[Yeah, great move, Dameron. Warn the laundry-loving kidnappers that you're up and about. Excellent spy work. Well. Why not.]

Jess? Karé? Iolo?

[Maybe this is just some kind of elaborate prank. Sure, Dameron. And while you're imagining things, how about--]

...Finn?

Poe!

[Finally! Someone from his world that actually recognizes him (and isn't from thirty years in the past)! Though of course he's showed up on the Marsiva after Finn's already been shuffled off. Still, Finn can't hide his grin.]

Am I glad to see you.

[helluva_pilot]

Finn! Finn, buddy!

Where are we? What's going on?

[Wait, is that... that's his jacket, isn't it? And Finn looks--]

You look--uh. You look great. [Smooth.] Are you okay? How long have you been up. [He manages to swallow down, the medics said...]

[forcesensitive]

[IT IS SUCH A RELIEF TO HAVE SOMEONE RECOGNIZE HIM.] Unmapped sector, maybe even in another galaxy. And I'm gonna warn you now, there's something weird with time here.

[Which he takes as "you sure don't look dead", since that's what Finn's assuming was the outcome of the battle. Oops.] Mostly okay, yeah. Got a new scar. I've been here about a week, on the Caprine now.

[Kitty watches him adjust to his surroundings, taking it in before responding herself.]

Mmm, the last name rings some bells, but the first ones are all blanks. Then again it takes awhile to meet everyone. [Two months in and she hasn't managed it.]

video

[helluva_pilot]

[Last name--Finn. Finn! Okay. That's something.]

So you know Finn? About my height, darker skin, short, curly hair, really brave? That sound about right?

video

[resnipstance]

[There's a young togruta girl waving at the video feed.]

Hey there. You're a friend of Finn's?

video

[helluva_pilot]

[Well, he doesn't know her face, but he knows her species, so no surprises there. And--] Yeah. Yeah--you know Finn? Is he here? Is he okay?

[video]

[delincuente]

[Here, have a girl who looks like a teenager, wearing a gaudy shirt that reads "World's Sexiest Captain" and looking generally amused by everything.]

Nice suit. That come in other colors?

[video]

[helluva_pilot]

[Okay, he likes the shirt.] Not in my service.

What, doesn't it bring out the color of my eyes?

Action!; placeholder since I have work

[notzubats]

[You know what sucks? Being kidnapped to space of course. But you know what sucks even more? Being kidnapped and shoved into a ship that's been completely void of life for a whole day. Especially when Sora was not a person who enjoyed the silence]

[So of course, when he thinks he hears someone- he's going to go to investigate. So Poe will hear the voice of someone who sounds young- probably because when you see him, he is in fact a rather short and young teenager]

Hello? Is someone there?

Action!; here's a reply for when you're done :)

[helluva_pilot]

Hello--hey? Someone there? [He starts heading for that return sound, homing in on it.

A kid is not really what he expected. But hey, he's not the world's shortest stormtrooper, he's not wearing a black mask, Poe will take it and be happy.]

Hey! Good to see someone else here.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Had he looked like that when he woke up? Probably. So far he had seen about three types of reactions to waking on the Marsiva, and he he hoped he comported himself as well as this guy seemed to. ]}

Have any of the people you asked for gotten in contact with you? I haven't been here long enough to meet everyone, but it's a large Fleet. And Atroma's a jerk.

[helluva_pilot]

I've heard from Finn, now. [And the profound relief shows in his voice.] Seems like the rest of my squadron isn't anywhere around. Here I was hoping this was one of Karé's pranks.

[ action ]

[gentlearcher]

[So then there was this girl, wearing that dress, and looking somewhat like a cross between 'wide-eyed' and 'ready to snap and come at you with whatever weapon she could find' which in her case has included something hidden in a right fist, cupped loosely at her side.

She pauses when she sees Poe, assessing with quick, dark eyes. Her weight shifts back slightly and her voice is both cautious and poshly British.] Hello?

[ action ]

[helluva_pilot]

Hi?

[He sees the way she's holding her hand. He might be a fighter jock, but he's had to be in enough ground situations that he's not going to do anything too stupid at the moment.

Looking at her dress, he's going to take a wild guess.]

I take it you're not on the crew for this ship?

[ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ That insignia . . . It looked like the Republic's. A Republic pilot, here? ]

Looking for . . . [ He pauses. ] . . . the Resistance fighters?

[ video ]

[helluva_pilot]

[Okay, he said Resistance Fighters and not Resistance Scum so... Poe's going to take him at his apparent word. So to speak.]

Yeah, I'm looking for the rest of my squadron. The name's Dameron. Poe Dameron. Commander. [Let's see if that gets him some more help before he throws in more detail.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ cute blonde in glasses! kind looking, but also sympathetic to his situation ]

I think I met a Finn here, but not the others, sorry. You probably have a lot of questions.

video

[helluva_pilot]

But you met Finn. All in one piece. Bout my height, built like a soldier, nice smile?

[throwsdown]

Hi! You got kidnapped!

[Excellent way to open this, yes. I'm a master at my craft.

The very small child gives a thumbs up, though, trying to... y'know. Relax the guy. He knows how bad it can be when you first wake up; luckily, this place is way nicer about it than the last he was in! So that's a good thing. Right?]

But don't worry; we're all real, real kidnapped, too! But there's no danger. Um... Yet!

We're gonna break out together when we find who did it.

video;

[helluva_pilot]

Well, it's not the worst kidnapping I've ever had, at least.

[DId this kid get kidnapped too? That's really awful. But Poe grins at the thumbs up.]

How many people are part of we? [He likes the sound of there being a plan.]

Video

[onlyburnhotter]

Hello? Hey! Can you hear me?

[If Poe checks his communicator's screen, he'll see Yang's face with a bright, welcoming smile, as she readies herself to try and guide the newbie through the naturally jarring Fleet arrival.]

Video

[helluva_pilot]

Yes, you're coming in loud and clear. [The smile is definitely nice. Another "definitely not in Imperial custody" factor.]

[two_jedi_sticks]

[There's one name in there that Jaina recognizes: Finn. It's too bad she's not far enough in the timeline to know about Poe, because the best pilot of the generation would get a fan. Well, no, she's also not in the right timeline.

Oh well. The flight suit is close enough to have her attention.]

Friends with Finn? He'll be glad, he's seemed pretty eager for some familiar faces.

New Republic space navy, right?

Audio

[helluva_pilot]

Finn's here? And he's okay? [Number one concern right there.]

Yeah. [Oh good, she seems to know right off where he's from, and since she's not calling him scum, he's taking that as a positive.] X-wing pilot. Where are you from?
