[ It's just about Han's luck that he, uh. Oversleeps.

That is to say, he wakes up on the Marsiva and has barely enough time to get his bearings-- to find his blaster missing and sidle over to the wide windows in the viewing bay to stare out at the unfamiliar stars-- before--

Okay, he actually has no idea before what. What happens. One minute he is quietly, definitely not panicking about the fact that he has no idea where he is, and then he's somewhere else with less idea of where he is, and confetti.

It takes him a few minutes more to catch up and (sort of) figure out the communicator, and by the time he actually tries to reach out, he looks visibly harried. ]

Okay, look, I really don't have time for whatever this is... And where is my ship?!

[ Because that is definitely the most. important. question. of all! ]

What's it do?

It feeds us information. I do not come from a place where people traverse the stars, but I can still carry out my duties aboard this ship. It passed on some general knowledge of how things work-- so unobtrusively, in fact, that I only discovered this upon deep reflection.

Of note is that we can understand any language spoken to us despite being dimensions and universes apart. I find it highly unlikely that your common language would match mine, and yet here we are.

[ He hasn't even thought about the language thing, though in his defense he understands quite a few languages without an implant. ]

You're from somewhere with no space travel?

[ That sounds... horrible. ]

That is correct. Some have perfected the art of travel between dimensions, but such 'freedom' comes at the cost of one's life and physical form. It cannot be compared to travel like this, where instead of waves, we sail among the stars.

That doesn't really seem perfected to me.

For them, their goal is more important than life itself. They do live eternally in a sense, but it is as servants to their void god.

[It's clear that he has no love for these people.]

Well that's charming.

[aetherflows]

Quite. But you come from a universe where interstellar travel is the norm?

[straightouttacarbonite]

Sure. I mean, there are landlocked planets but not many that don't get some kind of traffic.
