Jean-Luc Picard and Open

Jean-Luc glanced over and offered a welcome smile to the man who was joining him. He had spent a bit of time getting familiar with both crew and the travelers from other galaxies here on the Enterprise, and so he recognized the man as Han Solo, but they had not had the opportunity to speak just yet. "Indeed, I suppose I am, although my ship is not here in this time."

It was interesting being on this Enterprise, both similar to the one he knew of, and yet also quite different. In a timeline that had similar people, but different events. This was not all bad, but it did make for a certain need to be nimble in one's response to events around him.

He reached his hand out in an offering of welcome. "I'm Jean-Luc Picard, and you are Han Solo, if I'm remembering correctly."

	Han nodded. "I wish mine was...glad to be able to train for here, but I still miss her like crazy." he said.. Good to meet you...yeah, that's right, Captain Han Solo. Although it's nowhere near the same kind of stuff you seem to do. Not these days, anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jean-Luc nodded in response to Han. "I certainly can understand missing a ship. I certainly miss mine. And my crew, although, I've got one of mine here and that's been good." He was glad that Will was here, even though it was only one person out of dozens that Jean-Luc considered to be close friends on the Enterprise. As much, he supposed, as any Captain had close friends."

He tilted his head, wondering what Solo's ship was like. "Is it a large ship like this one?"

Crew...Han only had Chewie of course, unless the family was along with him.

"There really isn't much in the way of crew...just my co-pilot and sometimes, my family. " he said. Mostly Solos, of course. Luke spent most of his time in space these days on the Jade Sabre with Mara.

"She's a YT-1300 Light Freighter originally. But I made a few changes to her over the years. Those things don't usually come with a hyperdrive, for one. These days, she's the fastest ship in the galaxy." he replied. "Gotten me and my friends through a few tight shootouts, too...never really wanted to be in the military, but I suppose life doesn't always go the direction we'd like sometimes."

"I suppose it doesn't always, although I'm glad to have made my way to Starfleet and to stay there," Picard noted with a smile. "I could have been a farmer, but I think I would have made a terrible one. Space was always the place for me."

And it had been that way even when he was a younger man or boy. It wasn't perfect, and certainly Jean-Luc had been granted any number of learning opportunities along the way, but he would have turned away none of them for the chances he'd had in Starfleet.

"So it's a bit of a smaller ship than the Enterprise," he said thoughtfully. The Enterprise could technically be run from the bridge and engineering with a much smaller crew, but not that small, it made more sense that Solo's ship would be a smaller one. "If I had a smaller one that was all mine, I'm certain I would make some modifications as well."

	"I was never one to settle down either...if someone'd told me a couple decades back that I'd be married with three kids, I'd have laughed at them. Things sure do change..." he replied. He nodded. "Yeah, that's right. I can fly her by myself, though it's best when my co-pilot's with me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I hope it's been a good life for you though," Jean-Luc smiled. He'd never had children of his own - never really wanted them, but he was grateful for some of the young people who had come into his life all the same. His crew had provided him with the opportunity to mentor and to support in ways he would not have otherwise gotten the opportunity to do, and that would be enough for him more than likely.

"It's good to have someone by your side like that," he added, lifting a glass to his lips. "I wouldn't want to be in space without certain of my crew by my side."

"Eh, on and off it has." he replied. "Let's just say it can get tough sometimes when you're high profile. I'm just glad Leia's the one in politics...it just drives me crazy most of the time." He shook his head. "I swear if I have to foil one more kidnap attempt before they grow up..." He sighed.

"Yeah...yeah, it is. His language isn't very common, but I know what he's saying. I'm much happier with either him or the family along when I'm in space."

"Unfortunately politics seems to invade every aspect of life. I do not enjoy it, but as a starship captain I find myself pulled into it every so often." Jean-Luc understood the necessity of diplomacy, but he could also easily understand how people could be lulled into the desire for an authoritarian government - where efficiency was guaranteed by demanded obedience. Particularly when he was working through the subtleties of a particularly thorn situation. But he understood equally the need for something different.

"Do you travel much?" he asked Han.

Han nodded. "I imagine so." The ships here seemed to be a little different in that respect than many back home. The Imperials did a lot of business from their star destroyers, but it seemed like a lot of races did their actual politics on-planet.

"Not as much as I used to. When I was younger, I couldn't think of settling down, but things have a way of changing. I still do some traveling with the family, but I spend a lot more time in one place than before."
