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.]

So, the place you're from, what was it called? Earth? [Just a different variety than the one she expected. One where there was no April Fool's day and you had to fight to the death.]
[video]
No...it wasn't Earth. I'm not sure it was called anything...no one ever talked about the planet as a whole. To be perfectly honest, we're not even sure there's any other countries out there beyond Panem. There was a massive war almost a hundred years ago and a lot of people and places were lost, but so was our history. There isn't any record before that time. Panem and the districts that make it up are all that's left.

[video]
We weren't allowed. Panem was dangerous and controlled enough. The word is that there's nothing else out there...there was too much risk to try and explore only to fail. As awful as Panem is-was, what if anything else out there is worse?
Besides, the ability to find a ship and actually set sail safely was very limited. I know there are those who intend to go and look now, but the government's been overturned, so the opportunity is there.

[video]
Sounds like it, yeah. No one's asked me to kill someone else [Yet] so I'll take that as a good point, at least. For now, it's just a matter of surviving.
[video]
[video]
Unfortunately, that doesn't put me off. I'm not sure what I would do in a situation where I didn't need to fight ever. [He shrugs.] I'm good at it.
[Why squander talents?]

Or purpose unless you make your own or follow the one they lay out for you.
