[Anyone who's been to the Skywalkers' apartment will recognize their living room in the background. Luke looks tired but happier than he's been in a while.]

I'm hoping I can ask a favor of somebody. We're in the home stretch now and Kaylee could go into labor any day. She's been able to get rides from people here and there but as far as our own reliable transportation, all we have is the motorcycle, and that won't work for obvious reasons.

[It would be both scary and ridiculous. Seriously, try not to picture it.]

Would anyone be willing to lend us their vehicle for... maybe a few weeks tops? Something that would be safe for Kaylee, just so that we're not stuck begging someone for a ride to the hospital at three in the morning while Kaylee's having contractions. As you can probably imagine, that would be a disaster.

[He briefly presses his lips together in thought.]

Actually, come to think of it, would anybody be okay with being woken up in the middle of the night to be our backup ride or help in general if we need it? I'm trying to be prepared for all the possibilities and... it'd be nice to know who we can call on just in case.

[ 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. ]

[Bruce is taking a rare break in Tony and Pepper's apartment, helping himself to a cup of tea in the kitchen. There are a bunch of notes spread out on the table, so it's not a real break, but it's as close as he gets.]

Before I...disappeared, I offered to lecture on various topics that might be useful to people here, regardless of where or when they come from. I used to teach physics several years ago, but I could also cover things like engineering, first aid, gardening, chemistry and biology, etc. Whatever you'd like to learn about. And obviously I don't know everything, so people would be welcome to do lectures of their own.

[Locked to Pepper and Tony]

Sorry I haven't managed to find a new place yet; it's still on my list of things to do. Maybe before I leave next weekend...Bones and I are going to offer medical assistance to the bandits, so maybe they won't feel the need to raid the hospital.

[Locked to Wes]

I might have a solution for your satellite problem.

[No one who knows Wes will be terribly surprised to see that the background of the video feed shows a local bar. LIstening to angry drunks? Just plain drinking? That's the trick isn't it?

But he's grinning into the camera.]


So, any of you spacey types want to hear more about the satellites?

[Zevran keeps his call to Roland's communicator audio only, trusting that if his quarry truly is paying attention to the goings-on in Poseidon, he'll know who he's talking to. His accent, he's well aware, is of a distinctive sort. ]

You, ser, are somewhat difficult to track down. I can respect that. I would normally take a hint that you prefer your privacy, [Which is only half a lie -- it depends on whether the elf is bored or not.] but I believe we may be able to help each other. I most humbly await your reply.


[[OOC Note: As per mod notes, Zevran will be getting a few wrong numbers before he manages to get through to Roland. I have brain power to have 3 or 4 non-Roland people get this, if you want to reply!]]

[It wasn't that long between volunteering to take over Jacen's care (well, volunteering, like there'd been any other choice. What else could they do, send him to strangers?) and Wes realizing that he was now responsible for the safety of one of the three most kidnapped children in the galaxy. While it does seem there would be less motivation in a completely different universe, he's not about to take that risk.]

I... need some help keeping an eye on Jacen when I'm flying patrols. If anyone wants to pick up a bit of extra pocket money.

[That's how you find babysitters, right?}

Rather not be the guy who let the Chief of State's kid come to harm.

[It's this thing he has okay?]

[The video feed that pops up on Saturday morning features a Kaidan that's shorn of the assholerycool rigidity that's been a facet of his behaviour for the course of the latest round of reality shenanigans. Hand rubbing sheepishly at the nape of his neck, he has a question:]

Ah... so this is probably a weird question to be asking, but does anyone know if there are any spaceflight-capable ships on the planet? Or even ones that could be repaired?

I don't need heavy FTL, but something that can handle in-system would be good.

And, ah, I know about the satellite defence grid. I'm also working on plans to see if there's a way around it if anyone has suggestions.

[Priss says nothing at all for a very long, drawn out moment, just staring at the camera like it might bite her... or like she might bite it. It's wariness from someone whose fight or flight instincts are most assuredly 'fight'. But this isn't the puzzled stare of someone unfamiliar with technology; she's framed perfectly, lit marvelously, and there isn't a trace of confusion in her sharp, unfriendly stare. She's found jeans, boots, and a t-shirt somewhere, all of which are too large for her, and she's sitting on the ground, leaning back against a wall. The camera is propped up on something; her hands are visible, bruised almost black.]

Hello, Poseidon.

[Her expression sours briefly at the unfamiliar word, like she doesn't like the taste of it; the pronunciation is a bit wonky, with the language barrier, though not so wonky that the communicators have any problem subtitling the translation. Priss looks away from the camera, possibly figuring out what to say. When she looks back again, it's with a slight, one-shouldered shrug under the loose shirt.]

Any of you any good on guitar?

[Probably not the expected question from a new face, that. She draws one leg up, bent sharply at the knee, one of her arms draped over it. There are many scabbed-over circular puncture wounds visible where her loose t-shirt leaves her arms bare. Several are stitched shut, where scabbing alone couldn't cut it, and much of the rest of her visible skin is a canvas of severe bruising from the jaw down. She looks like someone who should be in a hospital, honestly. But good luck making her stay in one.]

I guess I could use a drummer now, too.

[A soft snort, and Priss glances up at the sky before looking at the camera again.]

...But you gotta be good, or you're not worth my time.

[One could be hard pressed to realize just what Padmé was thinking, although the signs are there. One's wedding day was supposed to be one of joy, even given the situation she and Anakin were in, and yet, she has no recollection of anything after their kiss. Waking up, her mind had turned over a variety of thoughts, from who and why and where. Yet, despite everything, her person was not harmed.

It is not the first time when life has tossed an obstacle in her path, and yet, she would have to admit that so far, this experience has been a first over all.]


Greetings.

[Her eyes are kind and hers is a soft voice, yet not weak. No, there is a strength behind it, and her expression, while not trusting, does hold an inquisitive air to it. Articulating herself is something that she has always been good at.]

Greetings to those who may hear this, whether fellow travelers caught in the same situation as myself, for I cannot assume I am the only one, or the inhabitants of this world. My name is Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo.

[Information was always key, and so she progresses. She needs to understand better the situation she has found herself in.]

I fear neither the ship or the location are familiar to me as I know this is not one of the worlds I have visited. And so, I ask where I might find information about this planet, and perhaps to whom I should be addressing my disappointment as to the course of action that has been taken.

[Wes does, on occasion, do something other than skulk around bars listening to angry drunks. For the record: The drunks? Still angry.

But he does other things! LIke have a job!]


I don't like goats. They're stupid and smelly and irritating and they get everywhere.

Uh... not that I want actual people tripping the quarantine alarms. But goats.

((It's locked *from* Mal but that doesn't affect any of your characters because Mal is mine so this network post is basically open.))

[The stream opens up to Luke's broadly grinning face.]


Hey, it's about time I get to make this announcement. Kaylee and I wanted to confirm it and get the word out to those closest to us first before we went public.

Kerra, I hope you've got your own paintbrush, and anyone else who thinks painting a nursery sounds like fun can join us. Kaylee and I are expecting a baby!

She's almost four weeks along so the baby's barely bigger than a speck right now but it's definitely there and it's growing quickly. So far everything's going well and we can't wait for Skywalker number three.

[Luke already sounds like the kind of Proud Daddy(tm) who simply can't wait to send everyone an obnoxious number of pictures of his kid and take every opportunity to tell terrible "dad jokes". Needless to say, he's excited beyond reason and it looks like his face will break if he grins any harder.]

[After another extensive but early night of skulking around bars, Wes has heard enough to bring it up to the rest of the ship people. And he doesn't look terribly happy with what he's heard.]

So, who else has been listening to the talk about these arrests? A lot of the local chatter... doesn't sound very good. If these arrests aren't on the up and up, the situations only going to get a lot worse.

[If they are arresting people for being against outside involvement it's likely to have the exact opposite effect of what they're going for.]

[Wes was expecting just another routine patrol. Okay, it was probably going to go poorly because that's been a problem of late. But poorly in a standard way.

And the patrol had been fine. It was getting back into Poseidon when the trouble started. So now he's in his alternate accomodations in the Old City outpost. And a bit annoyed.]


Okay, what the kriff is going on?

Is anyone in town in need of maintenance or repair workers, especially for mechanical or computer-based systems? My droids are in need of jobs to keep them busy.

[Luke presses his lips together indignantly, as an indication that this has become a problem lately.]

One is an astromech, specializing in starship maintenance and navigation but he could probably do work on just about anything. The other might be tricky. He's a protocol droid and while he's capable of typical labor it's not his specialty. No one needs a translator by any chance, do they?

[Yeah, okay so it's a long shot but he thought he'd check. He's pretty desperate to get the droids especially Threepio out of the house without the guilt of begging someone to babysit them for him.]

Well, let me know. I'll have my comm on me all day.

[Here's Luke's happy but travel-wearied face. Behind him is a small, dim view of the living room in the apartment that he and Kaylee share, for those who know what it looks like.]

Hey, everyone. Kaylee and I just got back into town.

We're pretty tired from the trip so we're probably going to go straight to bed but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and help with the wedding. Uh, Kaylee will probably give out the more specific thanks to individuals because she kept better track of that than I did. [Luke gives a little laugh at himself. Let's be honest, we all know he was too busy killing monsters.]

But you're all appreciated, more than you know.

Wes, you can bring the droids over whenever you like. Uh, though, preferably not in the middle of the night. [Because Luke knows that with Wes it's a good idea to specify.]

Uh, let's see. [He rubs the side of his face tiredly as he thinks.] I'll try to stay up for another hour or two so I can get caught up on anything that's happened these past two weeks. Feel free to get a hold of me if you need to.

Oh, and one last thing. [Luke smirks proudly.] The honeymoon went completely and totally uninterrupted.

[Luke's smug, grinning face appears on the video feed. He is, in fact, on his honeymoon. But don't worry, he made sure he was fully clothed before beginning the feed. Oh, and he's making sure that Kaylee isn't in the background just in case she's still naked somewhere...]

Well, it's been five days and no incidents. I don't mean to jinx it, I'm just curious to see who's lost the bet so far.


((Locked to Wes))

Have the droids driven you crazy yet?

((Also, sorry for the animated icon. I know they bother some people but it was just too perfect to pass up. If you have the Adblock plugin you should be able to block it if it gets annoying.))

[The past week has been chaotic.

No, the past month has been chaotic.

Being realistic, the past year has been chaotic.

This leads Wes to one conclusion.]


Okay, that's it. I am officially opening the betting pool. How many days of honeymoon do you think Luke and Kaylee will actually manage before there's another crisis?

Oh Maker's Breath-

[Alistair pauses. His voice sounds like it's a bit far away; he's holding this new alien device far ahead of him, trying to figure out exactly what it is, nevermind the fact he already knows how to work it.]

Not Ferelden. Definitely not Ferelden. One would think they'd remember coming to a foreign place, just a night before a big event that could determine the fate of the world, but no, I've got no bloody remembrance of anything. Dwarven ale is great, Oghren said. Put hair on your chest, he said. Not wake up in a weird place and nearly nude. Horrible pranks, really. This must be some witchy plot. Swooping everywhere, I know it.

[A few weeks ago, Kerra had just felt like she needed a break, to get away from all of it. And maybe see if Wanda's idea about the pods was true, so, she'd just gone back, and now she was just waking up.

A cursory scan of the network reveals nothing, but she knows that's not true. Something feels off, here.]


Guh...so...okay. Hey. It's Kerra, and I'm back.

[She looks tired, kinda grouchy, and thankfully clothed.]

Anyone mind catching me up to speed on what's going on? Took a little time in the pods. Needed to clear my head, and it feels like I've been gone a while.

Hit me, either here, or I guess at home. Maybe the bar.

This is Captain Rogers. I'm at an unknown location, a large plane of some kind.

[Much too large to be a plane, but the descriptor would work for now.]

If you are getting this, Director Fury, please respond. Agent Romanoff? Thor? ... Stark?
I could use a heads up on the situation, here. I don't remember a briefing for this.

[A forced attempt at an almost joke, except it's true enough that it has him unsettled. How did he get here?]
