[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 ]

[Not one Michiru is familiar with, and she frowns just slightly.] This planet is called Verdana. It's what I've been told. I just arrived myself, though not on my own ship. So I'm surprised... Well.

I hope you can find something that will work for you to repair.

[ frown ] I've never heard of a Verdana...[ Jaina sits, cross-legged and her brows knit in thought ] Are you from the ship that apparently has a thing for kidnapping?

From the looks of it, luck's not on my side on this one.

[with_elegance]

Neither had I. [Michiru nods slowly, her brow creasing in a frown.] I woke up in a strange pod with no explanation.

Luck may not be on any of our sides here. It's a strange place. Very wild.

[greatone]

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

[ she shakes her head ]

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

[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.
