thefinaljedi | 1st Transmission, A Skywalker sprouts wings [Action, Voice]

Action
[Sometime around midday, not too far from the road, Luke Skywalker finds himself sprawled face-down and shirtless in the grass. It's colder than he remembers it being when he went to sleep, and the ground is wet. With a grunt, the Jedi pushes himself up, surprised to feel an awkward burning sensation in the middle of his back.]

"Geez, where in blazes am I? Artoo, where are we?"

[No answer, naturally]

"Artoo? Oh great...why do I have the feeling that I'm not on Corellia anymore?"

[Luke stands up, his foot brushing against a strange, leatherbound book.]

"Oh hello, whats this?"

[Picking it up, Luke begins thumbing through it, seeking some sort of answers. Upon finding the guide, Luke spends a fair bit of time pouring over it, attempting to digest his situation before slowly beginning to make his way into town, feeling out with the Force]

Voice
[Luke's feeling a bit better, having recovered his clothes and lightsaber, so he begins to address the voice recorder. He takes a very calm, casual tone until he addresses the Malnosso, his voice gaining to an authoritative, icy edge.]

Good afternoon, anyone who may be listening to this. My name is Luke Skywalker, and it appears that I've been...brought here to stay for a time. I'm not sure if thats the right way to word it, but as I am unfamiliar with the local customs, please forgive me. If anyone has seen a small blue astromech droid wandering around, please let me know. Also, if any of the...Malnosso are listening, I'd like some sort of explanation on your reasoning for bringing me here.

(ooc: Feel free to post anywhere, in town, in the woods, wherever.)

[Many universes?]

An astromech droid? It kinda looks like a trash-can with legs. A robot about a meter tall.

Well, a robot definitely narrows it down. Don't know of too many of those around here. Haven't seen anything like that, sorry. I'll keep an eye out for it, though.

Thanks.

[A pause]

Whats your name, by the way?

Sorry, rude of me to forget.

I'm David Jordan, Major in the Federal Erusian Air Force. Or, at least, I was before I ended up in Luceti.

[Military man, and a pilot just like Luke. Sensing a possible bond forming over piloting...]

Nice to meet you Major. As I said on my broadcast, I am Luke Skywalker, General of the New Republic Navy. Retired from active duty, though. I'm guessing you aren't from my galaxy, unless you are part of some local flight squad though...

Nice to meet you too, sir.

[...Natural reaction for him to hearing the "General" title.]

Probably not from your galaxy. Never heard of a "New Republic," much less the droids you were talking about. And no, I represent a military and squadron for one of the largest nations on Strangereal: The Federal Republic of Erusea.

I command the 156th Tactical Fighter Squadron. We're formally designated "Aquila Squadron", though we prefer "Yellow Squadron."

Please, just Luke. I retired from active duty for that very reason. I never liked command, prefered to be in the cockpit myself.

[He thinks for a moment]

Sounds like we are from two very different realities. Has your civilization discovered Hyperspace travel yet?

[He laughs lightly at that first comment.]

A pilot yourself, huh? Seems like we have that sentiment in common.

...No, can't say that we have. We have a few space programs, but we haven't done much more than get to our moon and build a couple of small space stations. The Oseans have something called the Arkbird, but that's just a glorified space shuttle.

Do you have an aircraft here, then?

Unfortunately, no. The Malnosso have kept any and all vehicles out of the enclosure. You'll be lucky to find a bicycle here, let alone a fighter jet.

Figures, which means they probably didn't bring Artoo in with them. Just how big is this enclosure, anyway?

It's more of an oval than a circle, so the radius will vary based on your location. I'd say it's... what, sixty miles or so at its widest part? Don't quote me on it. It's been a long time since I read that part of the guide.

Certainly bigger than I was expecting. Seems like vehicles would be beneficial.
