[ For such a chatty guy, Poe doesn't seem to post to the network all that much. And today? He looks decidedly less than chatty.
He's standing on what seems to be the tarmac of a military airfield, dressed very purposefully and carefully in his full Air Force formal uniform, the double bars on his epaulettes marking his rank as Captain. He isn't usually a man for pointless theatrics. (Pointless stunts is another thing altogether, but this doesn't seem to be about that either.) Clearly, the uniform and the setting have a point.
So he gets right down to it. ]
As you may have heard by now, the State Department has declared a national state of emergency thanks to the mess that's going on, and looks like it's getting worse, fast.
I've been asked to talk to all of you on behalf of the brass, here.
While the military has been - uh - less than enthusiastic about hiring imPorts as a whole, and we're still barred from active duty, they've decided to open up recruitment during the current crisis. Just not exactly for the Army.
Essentially, they're looking for super-powered personnel who are equipped to help handle all the damn weirdness that's going on. They're putting together Emergency Response teams, debriefing and giving a little training, then sending them out into the wild. Mandate is to suppress and contain inter-dimensional anomalies and try to stop the things from spreading.
I know a lot of you have mixed feelings about the Military on this world. Trust me, they've got mixed feelings about you, too. But as long as we're living on this planet, we're sharing it, and if everything is going tits up, then it's going to happen to all of us. We may as well work together.
Anyone already on super-powered teams is probably better off staying where they're at - though I can help coordinate you with Government efforts, if you're interested.
Anyone looking to sign up as Emergency Responders should know that only Registered imPorts can apply. Sorry folks, I didn't make that rule, I'm only here to repeat it.
[ He clearly looks a little uncomfortable, though what exactly about the circumstances or what he's saying is making him feel that way is unclear. ]
Regardless of what you think about any of this - for all intents and purposes, and however long you've been here: this place is our home. I don't really care how you figure out to protect it or who you do it with, but we all need to stand together before everything falls apart.
[ He stares at the camera a few more seconds, and then the screen goes black. ]

no subject
Though who even knows where we're all going to be deployed.
Seems things are springing up faster than we can track them, these days.
no subject
I'll keep in touch, try to stick close when I can. Perk of not being with a military.
[ As of this exact moment, anyway. ]
no subject
Sounds good.
Also ideal, if I’m honest.
I wish I knew how long this was going to last, but. Mostly just feels like it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
no subject
[ It's definitely just going to get worse, though. It's been getting worse for a while. ]
Didn't you tell me once that Base One had extra fortifications? Does it have a self-defense system?
[ What a good time to ask! ]
no subject
BB-8 ran the whole thing, though. And it was never armed, it was more an alert system.
You think we should do some extra investing?
no subject
no subject
That's a fair point.
Damn it.
no subject
Nothing might happen. I just think too much.
no subject
It's not a bad idea. I just hate that we're at this point.
no subject
[ He's definitely not sure about that one. ]
no subject
[ Poe sounds a lot more sure. He'd be sparking Finn right now, if they were in the same place. ]
We'll look into it tonight.
