[Before the image comes on, a few words can be heard]

Oh, the commlinks here have visual, that's a step up.

[And then the video kicks in showing a man wearing an extremely garish orange flightsuit, made even more offensive to the eye by the addition of an extremely colourful cloak over top. The colours seem to be shifting.]

Okay, so woke up here naked. That's a new one. I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is another case of interdimensional strangeness.

[Or downloading completely wrong?]

How am I doing so far? I could use a sitrep.

[Kaylee, huh?]

How many places have you two managed to get banned from so far?

[Although that's...]

The datapad communicates?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Luke just grins shyly and decides not to answer that first question. He doesn't think Wes seriously wants to know those details.]

Yeah, they seem to have rigged a lot of devices for standard text-voice-video functions. This isn't even one of the fancier datapads that has transmission capabilities, it's just a little cheap one. But somehow they rigged it.

This place isn't as out there as Mayfield was but there are still a few things that just don't make sense.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[He's just going to take that as "a lot"]

More sense than Mayfield is a good start at any rate. What are the big ones?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Let's see... Well, the ship is a mystery in and of itself but what's really strange about it is that my Force powers diminish when I'm near it. I don't really like going in there if I don't have to.

The other big one is why we're all here in the first place. Mayfield actually made sense once we asked the right people the right questions but here? Not even the veterans have any idea why we're all waking up in stasis pods on a seemingly dormant alien ship.

I guess it all boils down to the ship, really.

[Wes was about to suggest ysalimiri, but of course Luke wouldn't know about those yet. Spoilers are less of a concern now but he can explain that later]

Okay, so we're up against an undefined menace. My favourite. The ship's not like anything anyone's seen?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

You got it. There are a few others from space-faring worlds too and they can't make much out of it, either. No one can bring the ship online because no one can figure out its main power source.

Even Kaylee's stumped and you know what a genius she is with stuff like this.

[Kaylee doesn't need to do any bragging for herself with Luke around.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Don't think I could have missed that.

[Having spent five minutes with Luke]

It's definitely doing... something. Does everyone wake up naked in pods?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Luke conveniently misses that first comment.]

Yyyyes. I hope at least no one was in there with you when you woke up?

[He still has a hard time looking Maria in the eye.]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

No, no one got to witness the Wraith approved rear end.
