[The video opens on Poe's face, edges of his jacket still dusted with salt and red earth.]

This is Commander Poe Dameron of the Republic fleet. I'm looking to speak to whoever's in charge here. I've got some pretty pressing issues to deal with back home, and uh...I really need to be getting back. Or at the very least if someone knows of a long range transmitter, or a ship, actually? A ship would be good.

...Or caf. Do you guys have caf here? Or maybe something stronger? That whole...glowy ball thing..., the data point- that happens to everyone, right? [He taps at his temple with a frown. He didn't particularly enjoy that experience.]

[Well this is a whole lot of things.]

Pretty much what it sounds like. Lets you communicate across long stretches of space.
I am talking about alcohol, yes.
And coffee.
Space is right.
Pilot is right.
Where's this piloting node? Not that I couldn't figure it out on my own.

in the hangar bay of course
where all the ships are
and if you find coffee you better share

[happybeeps]

Makes sense.
And if I find coffee you better believe I'll be shouting it from the rooftops.

This may come as a shock, but we don't just stick the word 'space' in front of word to make them 'spacier'.

Captain space pilot man.

uh-oh tommy's about to bestow a nickname

[doubled_speed]

sooooo basically you're a rocket man?

:D my very own nickname

[happybeeps]

I guess if you wanna put it that way?

[doubled_speed]

that makes you space shatner I guess

[happybeeps]

What's a shatner?

[doubled_speed]

you are, rocket man
burn down your fuse out there

[happybeeps]

...This better not turn out to be a insult.

[doubled_speed]

best Star Trek captain because he got all the babes
and if you're a space captain you've got to be a good captain

[happybeeps]

Best there is. I'll take it.

[doubled_speed]

[And because he's over dramatic.]

you do that space shatner

[happybeeps]

You gotta name I should look out for? Or am I going to recognize you through the 'space' prefix?

[doubled_speed]

well I don't have a space name
but I suppose you can use my real one
I'm Tommy
or if you're really feeling like you need something special and awesome
speed
because that's what I do
I'm fast

[happybeeps]

Speed, huh?
Fast is good.

[doubled_speed]

fast is the actual best
nothing quite matches the wind in your hair at mach four
you a fast space-man?

[happybeeps]

Ain't that the truth.
One of the fastest there is, Kid.

[doubled_speed]

don't think you could beat me in a race though
then again no one here can
and using a space ship would be cheating
but man i'd love to go to space some time

[happybeeps]

If you're doing mach four on foot, yeah, I'd say so.
We ever get these things up and running though, I can show you a thing or two.

[doubled_speed]

of course i'm doing it on foot
how the fuck else would i do it?
like i said
speed
and no i don't wanna be in those again
they LOCKED US IN THERE

[happybeeps]

That's something I'd like to see.
And hey- that's fair. No one likes being stuck in a tin can with no escape.
But when you're in control? Freest you can be. No feeling like it.
