[ you wake up on an abandoned spaceship in an unfamiliar quadrant of space, unhurt, but nauseated and dizzy, wearing whatever you were wearing before, with no possessions but what you were carrying with them.

the corridors are dark and grimy, dimly lit by lights that flicker now and then. it's cold enough to see your breath fog up before your face, but artificial gravity and life support seem to be working just fine.

welcome to your new home. ]

[ he's too far away for her swing to reach him, but close enough to be able to tell that despite her impractical clothing, at least she knows how to throw a punch. she's young, but not younger than many working in the rebellion — or against it. ]

Jeron Aach. [ that's a lie, but it's a name he's used often enough for it to sound natural and a cover that's reasonably fleshed out. he'd rather not give away anything true, at least until he knows what's going on here. ] And you?

[Her clothes are impractical but they are fashionable and make her look hot af. So there's that.]

Mary Jane Watson. You have any idea what the hell is going on around here?

[ she is an attrractive young woman, but cassian is really not focused on that kind of thing right now. he wouldn't be even if he hadn't been abducted by forces unknown. ]

No. But I have been on a spaceship before.

[ has she? the question is implicit in the slight pull of his eyebrows. ]

[Does she look like she's been on a spaceship before? MJ crosses her arms over her chest, defensively, and a reflex when she feels out of her element.]

No we're a few years behind back home, Captain Kirk.

[Yeah she heard his name. She's still giving him the nickname.]

So we're kidnapped and in the future. That's great.

[ how she's dressed has little impact on how he judges her experience. ]

Captain Kirk?

[ he's not tone-deaf to this kind of interaction, he can figure out that it's some kind of nickname, but it's one he completely misses every reference for. ]
