Video 001 | Week 78, Thursday

[sfoils]

[ The speaker looks positively average: brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin. His voice is composed despite the message. ] I am Commander Wedge Antilles of Rogue Squadron. [ He shifts closer into view, wincing in pain. But as quickly as it comes, it goes. He settles his expression back into neutrality. ] I've crash landed here and I'd appreciate help fishing out my snubfighter. Or at least getting my cargo and astromech out of it.

I don't have much in the way of payment, but there's three bottles of my world's best whiskey in there. [ And Kettch, Wedge remembers absentmindedly. ] Oh, and some food rations. [ Wryly. ] Unless you like cardboard, I wouldn't recommend them.

Antilles out. [ And the transmission ends. ]

Wedge! [The high decibels of the excitement in Luke's voice cause the sound system of his communicator to clip slightly.]

Wedge hey! I can't believe you-- you crashed here? [Luke blinks a few times, trying to figure out exactly how unlikely that is. How did Wedge even get here from their home galaxy? Maybe it's not as difficult as he'd always thought.]

[Luke might look a bit different than he did the last Wedge saw him. He's actually a bit younger, and he's currently sporting a beard. Luke himself doesn't seem to be too confused over Wedge's slightly older appearance. He's been doing this pulled-from-different-points-in-time thing for a while. That and he already gave Wes a cane for his birthday as a joke a couple years ago.]

Speaking frankly, the snubfighter itself is payment if you're willing to let people study its technology.

[A slender redhaired woman in the sort of clothes that say 'business wear' no matter what galaxy you're in is on the other end, eyeing Wedge with mild surmise and the sort of air of general competence that's similar to that of... well, a lot of the women of his acquaintance, really.]

A water landing's both good and bad. Did you get a sense of how deep it's down there? I haven't had to deal with this sort of recovery on Verdana, but back home my company has had the odd test demonstation go awry before.

Congratulations, I think you're the first person who's managed to actually put down in the water.

[There's a faint, tinny edge to the wryly amused voice.]

We should be able to rig something up to haul you out. How far off shore did you go down?

[ the young redhead who responds is just finishing up one of her shifts at the hospital (the communicator bounces a little as she walks down one of the town's busier streets) and while she'd certainly volunteer to help anyone who needed it, a rogue squadron commander with a lost astromech is a particularly important cause. ]

What sort of conditions has your fighter crashed in, Commander Antilles? I may be able to provide assistance.

[ pulley systems and force nudging, to be exact. ]
