[the video feed flickers on, showing a young woman with a frustrated expression sitting in front of a smoldering heap of scrap metal. Maybe it used to be an X-Wing. It's hard to tell, really. In her hands is something that looks like a high-tech blow torch, which she uses to weld two pieces of metal together. Once Jaina sees that the connection is stable, she sets it down to look at the recorder ]

Judging from the fact that there's an active network of...some kind here, I'm guessing whoever I'm talking to is able to patch me through to someone who is able to get me parts for a standard X-Wing fighter. Networking.

[ she rolls her shoulders and eyes simultaneously ]

As you can see, I'm having a little trouble getting off the ground. The sooner someone gets me flying the better- don't worry about repairs. I can handle most of them myself. I just need parts.

Now, payment. Since that is typically the first concern for parts dealers in remote sectors like this. Creds are in the other flight suit, but as soon as I get back to base I can guarantee you'll be compensated. I have access to Republic funds. I'm transferring my coordinates for delivery.

Following me so far, mortals? Good. See to it that the Great One is pleased.

[ with a sigh, she turns and goes to start up the blow-torch again ]

Sometimes they're called walking carpets.

[ she nods, almost smiling ] I can't turn down an extra set of hands, aggressive or otherwise.

[ Jaina opens it to the screen, evaluating it for second before nodding ]

I think I can manage that. Looks easy enough.

[ she looks at him, eyebrows raised ]

Never thought trading intel on living ships was going to help me get to meet people. [ she eyerolls, but it's in good humor ]

Why does it always have to be lizards.

Who knows. I won't turn it down if it's offered.

Re: [Video]

[greatone]

...you're telling me that someone fell from above the atmosphere, hit a ship, and was still in one piece enough to be angry over it?

Re: [Video]

[greatone]

Sorry, shouldn't have presumed. [ Autobot doesn't register- but not much about this day has so far either. so. ]

In the...pod, thing? Right?

[greatone]

Thanks for the spot of optimism on this dark day.

[greatone]

Yeah, I've heard about...giant lizards. Or something.

[ she shakes her head ]

Any particular reason they'd want you in a pod?

[catchingflies]

Totally welcome.

[steamosaurus]

Well, I'm quite civilized, I assure you. I'll meet you at the crash site, then, shall I?

[Wing nods, entirely serious.]

Yes. Loki was apparently...unusual. He had some sort of science he called 'sorcery' as well.

[with_elegance]

I've heard the same. I haven't seen one yet myself.

[A pause at that.]

Me personally? I can't begin to imagine. [She can, but no need to say that.] Anyone in general, well, I don't know that either.

[weapabilities]

It's okay. Most people do.

[A helpless shrug of his paneled shoulders.]

Well, I woke up in a room, in my alt mode, but close enough. I don't think there's a pod large enough for me and my...

[He kind of gestures to himself. Yeah. All of him. He's kind of an awkward shape to shove in a pod.]

[bloomesday]

You're asking people to go on faith that you'll pay them? I don't think your title counts as collateral.

Clearly you just haven't been going to the right kind of parties.

[Kaidan's delivery is perfectly deadpan, although he soon leavens it with a crooked smile.]

I'll take you the rest of the way to my workshop from there. Paranoia settings, y'know.
