I don't suppose there's a workshop on the grounds. For those who need them, I can do basic mechanical repairs. [ and more than basic but those tend to require specialized tools that he's kind of lacking at the moment. ] Contact me privately, and we'll work out a deal.

For those who don't, I've learned that not many here were accustomed to interstellar travel prior to our recruitment. [ anakin lingers idly on the word “recruitment.” someone’s a tad furious. but he carries on in the same even tone of voice. ] I’m curious as to your worlds. Where you’re from, how far you’ve managed to explore.

[ general you there. he doesn't care to know about anyone's trip to the grand canyon.

someone please tell him, in detail, about the grand canyon. ]

And Finn? Check in. [ he did promise ok. this is him coming through. ]

Comments

[apoptotic]

[ the proper term is droid, tyvm. ]

Why not? [ it's pretty easy to guess already, but. ]

[ricksybusiness]

[Yeah, that's a dumb question, and Rick makes a noise that suggests as such.] Uh, because I've been all over the galaxy, duh-doy.

[apoptotic]

Why not leave, then?

[ricksybusiness]

Yeah, great idea. Why didn't I think of that? [That's sarcasm, by the way.]

I did. Got bored. Came back. Blah blah.

[apoptotic]

Couldn't have gone very far, then.

[ricksybusiness]

That just makes you sound like somebody who's never been beyond a single star cluster. Look, o-once you go from one end of the galaxy to the other, things start to get pretty same-y.

[apoptotic]

Sure. There are also hundreds of thousands of hospitable systems. So you must have some attachment to have gone back.

[ricksybusiness]

Yeah, my home planet is super fuckin' backwater, so it's a good retirement spot. That's about it.

Anyway, w-what about you, homeboy? What's your deal?

[apoptotic]

[ homeboy? ]

Regarding?

[ricksybusiness]

[dawg? broh? dude??]

Your experience with spaceflight. Since you're asking.

[apoptotic]

[ basic, do you speak it ]

I've been a pilot since I was young. [ says the guy who only a year ago could drink legally in the us. ]

[ricksybusiness]

[welcome 2 earthlings]

Right, right, cool c-cool. That's interstellar or... like, local?

[apoptotic]

Both.

[ if it hovers, he can fly it.

if it doesn't hover, he will find a way to make it hover, watch him. ]

[ricksybusiness]

Baller. Might come in handy. Most of these chumps probably think the wheel is cutting edge.

[apoptotic]

I can't say I'd be surprised.

[ricksybusiness]

On the plus side, you can just make shit up and they won't know any better. Real ego trip.

[apoptotic]

Is that what you've done the entire time you've been here?

[ricksybusiness]

I dunno. What do you think?

[apoptotic]

I think it's likely they'll notice you're trying to make fools of them. If they haven't already.

[ especially with spelling it out on the network for all to hear. ]

[ricksybusiness]

Yeah, you'd think so, huh? Sometimes people are really trusting, though. [Like... you...]

[apoptotic]

[ W O W

#rude ]

I take it you've been here longer than most.

[ricksybusiness]

[You've just been Ricked!!!]

O-oh, nobody told you? I'm the reason we didn't fail our last mission.

[apoptotic]

I haven't heard anything like that.

[ he doesn't ask for details since…he's 92% sure he's gonna get all the details he wants with several he doesn't. ]

[ricksybusiness]

Well, I don't like to brag, but it's true. Crafted a machine in the most backwater world imaginable that punched a hole in some shitty barrier thing that was blocking the sun. Popped like a balloon. Saved the whole fuckin' planet.

[apoptotic]

What kind of barrier was it?
