[ Action; Genessia City; ]

[ Hera feels, for lack of a better term, detached from everything that's going on around her. It's not really her fault, given all she's been through lately. It might be for the best, though, because at least she's not panicking. No, in general she's feeling mostly numb. So she seemingly takes her arrival, and the infodump provided, in stride, and before she knows it, she's wandering the streets of this strange city that seems to be nowhere near Lothal or any other place she's familiar with in the galaxy.

She's stuck. Grounded. And people are staring at her like - like she's some kind of freak. Have none of them ever seen a Twi'lek before? ]

What are you looking at?

[ Her voice isn't defensive, it's mostly - dull. But there's an underlying hardness, as well. A certain amount of suspicion, like she doesn't trust anyone here.

Eventually, she finds her way to a series of shops and small cafes, and when she gets a whiff of something - baking bread or a pastry of some sort - she makes a nauseated face and turns away from the smell, her brow furrowing a little. There must be somewhere to sit down, right? Maybe she just needs to sit down. ]

I need the services of a medical doctor familiar with non-human biology. I'll come to you.

- H. Syndulla

Hello, I am Baymax, a medical doctor at the Genessia City Hospital. May I be of assistance? I am learning how to treat non-human people.

[Text]

[firstrebel]

I hope so, I haven't seen anything but humans since arriving. I don't know if I'm having a bad reaction to whatever brought me here or what.

On my way to the hospital now.

Re: [Text]

[personal_care]

I will be waiting. I will pre-emptively fill your paperwork for admittance. Your name please?

Not a doctor but

You wouldn't happen to know a Cham Syndulla, would you?

[ Hera is just not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt, here. Suspicion is her middle name! ]

Depends. Who's asking?

[snippings]

Ahsoka Tano. I fought in the Battle of Ryloth.

[draconixaviarix]

[Eep! She was spotted]

..Sorry, I couldn't help it. I haven't seen someone look so beautiful and non-human! You match the earth's lushness..!

[Action]

[firstrebel]

[ Hera's demeanor softens just a bit when she sees that it appears to be a girl. Young? It's sometimes difficult for her to guess the age of humans, but she doesn't seem that old. ]

Oh. Uh. Thanks, I guess.

[ In just about any other context, Hera would bristle at a comment like that, but from this girl, or maybe just because she's... so tired. It doesn't seem to make much difference. ]

Does this planet only have humans?

Re: [Action]

[draconixaviarix]

[Hana beamed, and shook her head]

Noo, there's a lot more other creatures here, no need to worry. I'm not even human~

[her hands turned into fluffy white claws, then turned back] It's just easier since I'm kind of big. But I'm glad there's more non-humans coming here, this is a pretty interesting place~

[Action]

[generalgrievous]

[Aliens may not be common here but it's not unheard of. Case in point, this Kaleesh cyborg currently stomping toward the Twi'lek. He notices her easily since she does stand out and stalks closer. He may give out a threatening appearance at first, even when he's not meaning to.]

[firstrebel]

[ Well, a cyborg is certainly not a sight you see every day! And apparently a Kaleesh, to boot. They don't get seen often outside their own sector. Hera keeps her guard up, though. She's disinclined to trust anyone - certainly no exception will be made just because someone is apparently from her galaxy. ]

Can I help you?

[generalgrievous]

I have not seen you around before. Have you newly arrived here?

private text/video

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Syndulla. The name is enough to make him pause, start and then hope. With all these recent arrivals it doesn't seem quite so unlikely anymore. ]

General Syndulla?

[ And then he changes his mind, switching to video. Not like his own Rebel allegiance is a secret. There's Cassian Andor, looking right at home in a distinctly low-tech office in Attleton. ]

private video

[firstrebel]

[ Someone calling her 'General' isn't something she expected, and she almost immediately switches to video as well. A face she actually recognizes, too - she's met a lot of people, of course, on Yavin, and she tries to remember the most important ones. ]

...Captain. Andor? Right?

Re: private video

[captain_by_the_book]

[His eyes widen in surprise. Of course he had hoped but he isn't prone to optimism.]

It is you, General! I had hoped it would be. It's good to see you. I... [He presses his lips together and sighs heavily. ] So many fought and died at Scarif and I never learned if you were there.

[Action]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

[Han sighs as he hears her get a little snappy as he passes by. Of course, he's not surprised at all.]

You'd think they'd be less surprised by a Twi'lek with the range of species that show up here. I guess it's too much to ask, though.

[firstrebel]

[ This is the first time someone has immediately recognized her species, which gives away more about him than it does her, of course. Though that doesn't necessarily make this guy a friend - that's something that she'll have to figure out.

So her guard remains up, even as she turns to him. ]

I should be used to it, but after showing up here, it's rubbing me the wrong way. On top of being kidnapped, and all.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Yeah, that's rubbing a lot of us the wrong way.

[He sighed]

Besides wanting to get back to my family, I can't even do much flying, and it's makin' me crazy.

[He sighs]

And I thought gettin' dragged into the Rebellion even though I kept sayin' I wanted to do my job and get out of there was irritating...

[Video - Locked]

[k2so]

[There's a tall, dark paitned droid onthe videoscreen, tilting his head to the side.]

H. Syndulla? General, is that you?

[Video - Locked]

[firstrebel]

[ Hera opens the video feed, still wary, but - someone who knows her title is either an ally or an enemy and it's probably best to find out which as soon as possible. ]

Yes, that's me.

[ And this is... a droid. Looks like Imperial security droid, but... not. Heavily modified. So possibly no longer Imperial. ]

Who are you?

[Video - Locked]

[k2so]

Oh! That's great news. It's good to see you, General.

[He shifts slightly so his shoulder is visible. Where the Imperial symbol used to be, not there's an orange starbird.]


My designation is K2SO, Kaytoo if you prefer. I work with Captain. Andor, he's also here in this world. We arrived here about a year ago, after we died.

Are you injured? Do you requite assistance?

action

[democratically]

[She has been on her way to a little spot that she has found in Genessia City, a place where she treats herself every now and then. The plan is to buy a few items, some to bring back to where she lives, and one to munch on when returning.

Yet today she does find herself stopping, and yes, staring, although she doesn't quite mean it. It is surprise more than anything else that has drawn her to a pause, and at the words, she realizes that she has been a little rude.]

My apologies. I didn't mean to come across as rude. I haven't seen a Twi'lek here before. Have you just arrived?

action

[firstrebel]

[ Oh. So this person does know what she is. Of course, that doesn't necessarily make her a friend, but that's to be determined. ]

It's... fine. I've just had a rough few days. I just got here, yes. Hera Syndulla. [ Almost tentatively, she offers her hand. ]

[action]

[green_cyborg_ninja_dude]

[Twi'lek? Nope. Can't say he has. Other than maybe in some space movie or something, he's never seen anyone like her, so he does watch, a bit. He heard her comment to someone else though, and he snorted as that person dropped their hair and practically ran off.]

I wouldn't hold it against them too much. I tend to get a lot of strange stares too. For me, I think they find me strange. You? I think they find you beautiful. That can't be bad, right?

[Oh hey, look, he's above eye line, perched on the edge of a building, looking down to her.]

[action]

[firstrebel]

[ Judging by Hera's reaction to his words, it's certainly not good. She looks up, not particularly shocked by this person's appearance herself, but frowns nonetheless. ]

I'm not interested in being eye candy. I'd rather people minded their own business, in general.
