Day 363 | Open Video
[ It's easy enough to figure out the headset. He even listens to the message and information before he starts throwing a decidedly scruffy, Corellian-sized tantrum about it to whoever is on this thing that will pay attention. ]

Listen, this is General Solo. [ And isn't he glad he can finally pull rank, if there's anyone here he can pull rank on. ] If this is some kind of kriffing joke, it's not funny. But if it's not, then someone needs to tell me what's going on that contaminating carbonite is illegal, not to mention my fault.

[ Not that he'd think someone (one of the Rogues is his first guess) would pull a prank of this magnitude in the middle of a crisis that includes people getting entenched to power droids, but it would be nice if that were the case. Mostly because then he wouldn't really be in prison and could more effectively yell at someone about it. ]

	Tried... succeeded. Don't know. Lost a war with the first lot and though I could find the freedom with my own ship. Then these ones took the sky from me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, sky's still there. Just... A little further up than we're used to. [ That's probably not comforting, and is followed by a very cautious question. Han just got in from a war, and last he checked they were some measure of winning. ] Who'd you fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ain't my sky even if it's there. No use without my ship anyhow. [His face darkens.] Crazy group of people ended up being the government of the entire Verse. Alliance they're called. Rich folk in the central planets decided to unify all the planets... benefited them more'n anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doesn't sound like the Alliance I'm in, at least. [ Which is a huge relief, on multiple levels. ] And you really don't sound like an Imp. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Less your Alliance likes cuttin' into little girls' brains for no apparent reason, then no. Likely ain't. There's another woman here from a different Alliance too.

[He looks mildly confused.]

Not an imp. Was a Browncoat... Independent. Now I'm just a ship's captain. Taking jobs smu...schlepping people's cargo from one place to another. [He really should stop drinking, if only to keep his mouth shut.] So long as it pays. Mainly trying to stay under Alliance Radar.

Not at all. Woman wouldn't happen to be named Leia, would she?

[ Said woman is currently attached to one of his arms. Smugglers know from smugglers, though, and for as absurd and frankly scary as this guy's world sounds (who cuts into brains?), it's pretty nice to have common ground. ] I did that for a while before I joined up. Probably half the reason I'm in here.

Yeah... that's her. We had a bit of a misunderstandin' when she first arrived, claiming to be Alliance. An' she strikes me as possibly being quite terrifyin' if you piss her off. Sorta like another woman I know...

[Mal has no idea said woman is currently possibly listening in. Otherwise he'd have kept his mouth very much shut. And now that he's thinking about Inara again, and the rest of his crew, it takes a moment before he really understands what the other man is insinuating.]

Yeah? What's the most interestin' cargo you've ever had to deal with?

Oh, definitely terrifying. [ Except Han is smiling like a dope when he says it, glancing a little offscreen. She's only hearing half the conversation, at least, and has heard what's next more than once. There's probably eye-rolling coming for him later. ]

Cargo I had was never as interesting as getting it there, unless passengers count. You ever get to go through an asteroid field?

[ It's much easier to brag than admit to trafficking space drugs. ]

	Oh... you know her then. [Drunk as he is, Mal definitely knows that look.] An asteroid field! ~~Not yet~~ No. We did a train job though... from the ship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's a pretty universal look, much like the one of curiosity Han has now. ] You're gonna have to tell me how that one works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You must be a wizard Han Solo. Mal hasn't smiled this much in... he doesn't even know how long.] As long as you tell me about the asteroid field. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Video bloodstriped 2016-02-22 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Fields. You'll probably want to hear about the Maw, too. [ Han generally leaves the wizardry to Luke, but he can't pass up any opportunity given to brag about the Kessel Run. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Video cptn_tightpants 2016-02-23 04:14 am UTC (link)
	The Maw? Ain't heard of it. But we have some close calls with Reavers that are mighty interestin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Video bloodstriped 2016-02-23 06:04 am UTC (link)
	Black holes between Kessel and the Si'Klaata Cluster. What's a Reaver? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That is an ominously vague explanation. What kind of hell world is this man from where brain cutting and 'used to be men' are such distinct issues? ] Yeah... You see any, point 'em out and I'll do a lot of leaving alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Video cptn_tightpants 2016-02-25 01:26 am UTC (link)
	[It probably isn't as bad as Mal makes it out. Besides, if Solo ever mentions the Sarlaac pit or being frozen in carbonite, Mal will fill pretty much the same way.] Good thing they haven' shown up here then. Tell me about the Maw. Sounds way more interestin' than my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Well, at the very least it sounds about as bad as the Corporate Sector. ]

Probably is. When you make a run from Kessel, surest way to avoid Imperials is to go through the Maw. Closer you shave it to the black holes, the shorter the run. Once you get through that, you get to go through the Pit. Bunch of asteroids caught up in a nebula arm, so even if you do have sensors they don't work half as well.

	Sounds like a challenge for my pilot. I'm sure he'd love it. And these Imperials? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Video bloodstriped 2016-02-26 07:20 am UTC (link)
	They steer clear of it most of the time. Don't want to waste resources. [ But there is a more important issue at hand. ] You don't fly your own ship? How big an operation do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can see that. That's usually our bet... that they won't waste resources on us.

[You're really gonna make him talk about his crew?]

Well, there's five in the main crew. First mate, pilot, mechanic, muscle, and me. Then there's the woman renting one of our shuttles an' lending us some credibility when we have to go closer to the core. Then we picked up some passengers who've just stuck around. One's a doctor which is helpful. So all in all, we have nine on the ship.

	[ Han shakes his head for a second. Not as big as some he's seen, but it seems crowded for a guy who spent most of his time smuggling with just him and a Wookiee. ] You must have a pretty spacious set-up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Video cptn_tightpants 2016-02-28 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Enough for what we use it for. Firefly class is a smaller sized cargo ship. Agile though which is important. An' between Kaylee and Wash, she runs pretty smooth. (Reply to this) (Parent)
