Video/Action- First Pirate Transmission
Who: Panem!Bucky
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Bridge of the Wonderduck
When: Now
[The video opens with a view of Bucky's face, hair short, face scruffy and a steel determination in his expression as though challenging the very fleet to suddenly do something and prove all his paranoid assumptions correct.]
The last time I was on a show for other's entertainment, we were made to fight and kill each other until only one person was left. Supposedly that's not the case here. Yet.
I assume some of you have been making attempts to learn more about this place and the people behind it.
[A pause. 'What do you know' was on the tip of his tongue, but he was the offworlder now. He didn't hold a single damn card in his hand he knew it too well. He hated it. He'd have to change that.]
What do we know?
[Anyone on the ship itself for any reason will find Bucky at the comms station, waiting for responses and seeing exactly how far the system would allow him to hack until the firewalls caught him. Sometimes you had to test the strength of the bars when you were in a cage.]

[ even though all he ends up ordering is the space version of orange juice. he leans back in his seat. ]
Fella can't come by and say hello?
[ and, warning or not, assurance or not, he's a friend. because he's bucky. and he's right there. it's a good thing. ]
How are you, Buck?

That's not much of a drink, Stevie.
[Dammit. He winces and takes a drink from his equally tame water.]
I won't lie, it's confusing. Difficult. Frustrating. I'm not used to being on this side of things.
[That warranted a bit of explanation.]
Back home, people like you, all of you, were brought to Panem to participate in my government's murder games. I'm used to being the one to help those people, explain what's going on, offering them a way to fight back, offering some insight into my country and how they can survive it. This...I don't know what to do with this. I never thought I'd be the offworlder.

[ 'we' he says, offering himself and a wider net of security. there's peggy, nat, sam. ]
whatever you need, we'll be here.

[Even with the offer made openly, he couldn't let himself get that comfortable. Not even for Steve and Peggy.
Speaking of...]
Peg says you're the first mate of her ship. Seems fitting. [There'd never been a question as to who the leader of their little group back home had been.]
She keep you busy?
