Getting to Know Your Own Backyard | Monday, Period 2

Class had been handwavily informed that they would be meeting each week at the junkyard instead of a classroom. You're...welcome?

When they got there, they'd find Hera and Kanan waiting, with the Ghost prepped and ready to go right behind them.

"Hey, guys," Kanan said, giving a casual little wave of one hand at the group assembled. "Welcome to a little class I like to think of as yet another shameless excuse to go on field trips every week. Only, these ones are probably going to involve less food than the last ones."

Sorry, guys. Hannibal wasn't in on this round.

"My name's Hera, and I'm the captain for these trips," she said. "This is my ship, the Ghost. I'm pretty new around here, so I'm still learning about the local area."

"The planet and the solar system both," Kanan added, grinning faintly. "For those of you who don't already know me, I'm Kanan. I have been around a while, but since my last ship was a big piece of scrap," seriously, nobody missed the Expedient, "I haven't gotten much farther than the moon here, myself. Cute moon, by the way. Bouncy."

"We don't have star maps of this galaxy, and the locals haven't gotten far off the planet," Hera said, "so that's what we'll be doing - checking out the local system. And taking some readings to figure out what's beyond it, but that'll be all the sensors, so no need to worry about that part."

"If there are any planets that are safe to get off the ship and explore, we'll try to do that whenever we can," Kanan added, grinning. "Which... might not be often, but the Ghost here will give us a great view all the same."

They wouldn't even have the great 'reality whipping by' effect that hyperspace offered, though. They weren't even leaving this system!

Earth: Still cute.

"There's just a few ground rules before we get going," Hera said. "I've locked off the personal areas of the ship, and I expect you to respect that. If I tell you to do something, you do it - I'm the captain, and I intend to keep us all safe. And whatever you do, don't bother the droid."

"No, really," Kanan added, "don't bother the droid. He takes his job seriously and he's got a stunner built-in and set to 'annoying.'"

That was just for you, Kanan. He kept that setting for you.

"Okay, so let's all get on board!" Hera said more cheerfully. "We can do introductions on our way to the first planet, which is named Mercury."

"I think I'll stay on the ship," Rhys decided slowly.

Kanan snorted and shook his head.

"Suit yourself. Just means you get to keep company with him."

He gestured toward Chopper.

"Alone."

Brave man, Rhys.
got_hijacked: (that sounds wrong)

[personal profile] got_hijacked 2017-05-08 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That was almost comforting. Rhys actually had good memories if Loader Bot and Gortys. You know, before everything went to shit.

Almost was the keyword there, though.

"God, I hate this school."
uncertain_dume: (Hey Hey)

Re: Introductions!

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2017-05-08 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Kanan... laughed. No sympathy here, no.

"You want my advice? It's probably best to come along with the rest of the class. Strength in numbers, and if something jumps out at us, I'll take care of it anyway."

Spoiler: They were more likely to get skittled in an asteroid belt than run into some kind of hostile life form out there. And with Hera piloting, they really wouldn't even have to worry about the asteroids, either.

"I'm filled with confidence," Rhys said dryly. You didn't even look like you could be a decent vault hunter, Kaman. Maybe a bandit?
uncertain_dume: (Hey Hey)

Re: Introductions!

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2017-05-08 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Great," Kanan said, just a little too cheerfully. "Then you won't have any problems walking planetside with the rest of the class!"

And that's how he got you, Rhys.
got_hijacked: (I got a data port)

"If I die, I'm setting up a program to sue the school." Because lol like anyone would sue on his behalf right now.

Oh. Oh, he made himself sad.

"Huh. Good thing the school's rich, I guess."

Kanan really was not concerned.

Also, he was a bit of a dick, sometimes.

"Eric Bittle," he said. "I'm from... a version of Earth pretty similar to what's across the causeway, so we haven't done the whole sending-people-to-other-planets part. I'm curious about what they're like, but not curious enough to attempt to get a degree in astrophysics or something just for the chance to someday go exploring. So... space tourism." Because why not?

"Hey, I can appreciate a little space tourism," Kanan mused. "You have a favorite planet, Eric?"

Khadgar reeeeeally wanted to poke the droid, but he could behave himself a little. "I'm Khadgar, and I want to learn anything I can from this class. Interplanetary travel isn't a thing where I'm from." At least, not yet it wasn't.

Rey was very used to the junkyard by now, so she was able to stay focused enough to listen.

Though she might hang around and see if there was anything interesting after class.

"My name's Rey, and I haven't been much of anywhere so it'd be nice to see new things," she said.

The droid was cute. But she wasn't touching it.

Rey was from a desert and was used to vast, useless spaces. But at least this was a different vast, useless space. It was taking her a bit to get used to walking here, though, even if she had to admit it was sort of fun.

"Well, welcome aboard, Rey," Kanan said, nodding at her in greeting.

Even though it wasn't his ship. Because that's just how he rolled.

"Hopefully this system has something in it that'll catch your interest. Hell, if nothing else, the view'll be great at least once or twice, I'm sure."

"I'm FN-2187, and I thought it would be useful to get a better idea of the layout of the local sector."
uncertain_dume: (Hey Hey)

Re: Introductions!

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2017-05-09 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Can't hurt, right?"

Force, somebody needed to give this kid a better name. Kanan gave FN a little nod, and a quick glance toward Hera to hopefully indicate that FN was pretty okay, even if his name was very, uh, Trooper.

"With any luck we'll be able to hit up a new planet each week. Or at least that's the plan."

"Oh, I'm sure I will. I'm really excited," Khadgar admitted. "And I promise not to touch anything we're not supposed to touch, unless it's an accident."
