i'm a space cowboy, bet you weren't ready for that
Who: Han Solo + anyone on the Caprine
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Also yes
When: right before/after the 2/10 Shuffle
[ 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! ]

[ silver linings: Han is not great at them ]

I mean ... maybe you're right. I don't know anything about your universe. But we recently had a run in with a cannibal planet so ... don't count your chickens before they hatch.

[ Just falling back on aggressive bravado and sarcasm, so it kind of seems that way. ]

[He sighs.]
The Atroma do send people back sometimes. But it's usually on their timetable, not ours.

It seems like people don't know so much about them, except that they're to blame for all this.

[Literally.]

[ He honestly doesn't get how other people aren't thinking of it in those terms. It just means you have to find a rival syndicate and double cross them. Or cut a deal. Or something. There's potential there! ]

[Which ... I mean, they're probably the same thing. More or less.]

No, I really mean it's a reality show. We're being broadcast to ... someone, right now. I'm not sure who the viewing audience is, but it can be a generous one.
video }
But never mind, who's generous?
[ Generous sounds promising. ]
video }
[A beat.]
But basically if the viewers like what you do on the "show" they'll reward you with credits.
video }
Okay. Sure. I can work with that, probably.

It's entirely possible that it's all a dramatic ruse and we're being played but ... there's no way to tell one way or another.

[ If he can turn it to his advantage it's worth knowing about. ]
Thanks for the rundown.

[And with a small salute, that is Barry, out. Somewhere, in a meta universe far far away, a speedster is probably freaking out that he got to meet Han Solo. /scene]
