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?

Guess we'll never know.

And I don't think we've been at a stage where talking could do anything since. [Not once the Empire started, or the First Order. Talking to fanatics doesn't work too well.]

No, usually with names like the First Order or Empire, they don't seem conducive to negotiations.

But organizations with names like Separatists are? [Also a genuine question.]

I didn't really pay that good of attention in history, I admit.

I can't say I know the Separatists that well. Senator Amidala is more likely to shed more light on their situation.

As for the name, it's only to signal separating from the Senate. Which I can't say I blame them for.

That's right, you knew Senator Amidala too. [Wow, so many important people! This is so exciting.]

Was it bad?

She's here too, if you want to talk to her.

[ He pauses. ] It was bad on a different scale.

That would be... wow. That would be something. [Be cool, Dameron. Be cool. You handled meeting General Organa okay. Sort of. Eventually.]

Bad, but not as bad as what came after.

The fact that it is still ongoing, that the war has yet to end is . . . bad.

[ Bad for the balance, bad for the Jedi, bad for everyone. ]

The Force is out of balance.

Yeah, generally.

[Well, this just leapt right over his head.]

...okay, so how do you fix the Force? [Well, he's a pilot. He's pretty direct about things.]

[ u h m ]

I couldn't say exactly. Not without knowing more.

Oh.

I probably don't know anything useful. [He just makes with the pew pew, man.]

That's all right. I wasn't trying to grill you for information.

You can if you want.

But I'm more... I want to be doing something to help. [That's the whole reason he's a pilot. It's in his DNA.]

[ Obi-Wan is vaguely reminded of Rex and he smiles. ]

I'm sure there'll be time for that.

Okay, if you say so, sir. [He's not exactly the most patient guy in the world, here. He wants to be out in the action, not stuck on the Marsiva.]

Please. Call me Obi-Wan.

[Well, now he's caught between oh my god General Kenobi wants me to call him by his first name oh my god oh my god and the ingrained habits of a decade that just scream at him that you don't call a General by his first name unless you've both had at least two drinks together.

On the other hand, you also don't get to tell a General he's wrong. Well played, General Kenobi.]

Okay. Obi-wan. Thank you. [He manages to swallow that sir down at the last second.]

[ He looks deeply amused, as if he knew exactly what Poe was going to say. ]

You're welcome.
