The video feed shows a young man with mousey brown(ish) hair, dressed in neat, but worn black clothing. His eyes are bright blue, and his smile is soft and genuine.

"Hello, I'm Luke Skywalker. I've been brought aboard as a Warden, and it's good to meet you. I'm not great at introductions, so you're welcome to ask me whatever you like, and I hope you'll forgive a trite question to break the ice."

Looking suitably contrite, he ducks his head, and scrubs a hand over the back of his neck.

"What's the best and/or worst advice you've been given?"

Always a good idea! I used to be a fighter pilot and, let's just say, the middle of a dogfight is not when you want to step out for a visit to the 'fresher.

[rank1]

That'd do it. You liked being a pilot? I always thought aerial dogfights looked like a blast.

With any battle there's always the drawbacks and tragedy you'd expect, but when flying, there's a rush. When you're dropping out of hyperspace, pulling too many Gs because you're skimming too close to a Star Destroyer, it's even stronger. I love that part of it.

I liked tinkering with my ship. Trying to see how I could mod her and, ah, not get caught for it.

[ Oopsie? New Republic property, you say? ]

Fuck, that sounds cool. You gotta be military, right? [Pure hobbyists don't have that kinda reach.] I've never been much of a tinkerer, personally, I pay other people to do the heavy lifting on mods, but I feel that rush on my bike. It hasn't been street legal for nearly a decade.

[blackclad]

Rebel Alliance, well, now they're the New Republic, but I left my squadron after the Battle of Endor.

[ All of which makes no sense to anyone not from his reality. ]

Street legal is only a problem when you use streets...

[He's got the imagination to fill in the gaps. Daring adventures, space battles...]

If I could make my bike fly, I'd never touch the pavement again.

What were you rebelling against?

[blackclad]

The Galactic Empire. A deeply unpleasant lot of fascists led by a Sith autocrat.

[rank1]

Sounds [cool] like something worth shooting the fuck up. Why'd you give it up? Blowing up fascists sounds great.
