[Hello, Network! It's your friendly neighbourhood Poe Dameron. You might know him from such adventures as: being that guy that you saw on that one terrible energy drink for months, or that guy that you saw break that other dude's heart on tv, or that guy that showed up on that other guy's dating show even though he was definitely not welcome there. That's right, it's that dude with the really nice hair who has way too much pornographic fanfaction of him available for browsing on the internet and approximately 200 different videos of him getting into and out of a sonic shower on a space station.

You are probably more familiar with his face than you'd like to be.

That said, today he's wearing a very crisp blue uniform that some of you may recognise as belonging to the US Air Force, and behind him stands a very majestic 2-seater training F-16. Beside him is a little weird orange and white ball with a head, that some of you may recognize as his trusty buddy, BB-8.]

Hey, imPorts!

So, turns out that a lot of you left some pretty damn good impressions on the brass in the US Military, which is good - because I've been trying to convince them since I got here that they need to hire more of you. And looks like they're starting to agree.

So, consider this an official recruitment video, I guess? Looking for a job a little more exciting then selling energy drinks? Hit me up.

Next week I'll be flying at the airshow in Heropa, so if any of you want to take a ride in this monster - [pointing back to the F-16] - that's your chance. I'll also be there to answer any questions that you don't get a chance to ask me here, and a recruitment officer will be on site, so. Make sure to--

[He's interrupted by BB-8 suddenly letting out a flurry of beeps and whistles, and the smile breaks into a worried frown for a few seconds before he pushes it to something impassive. When he speaks next, it's to the droid, not the camera.]

What, you're sure? Just now? [The droid replied with a sorrowful beep.]

... Yeah. Alright. Thanks for letting me know, buddy. Just uh... keep a search tracer on the network for if his commlink comes back online, alright? Thanks.

[He is not smiling when he looks back up at the camera, his train of thought broken. He visibly tries to shake it off, and for the most part manages it - but for those who know Poe well, something is definitely Not Good.]

Uh- yeah. Anyway. Come on out and learn how to blow things up, if you want.

[The video feed winks out.]

Wouldn't make a very good pilot if I avoided dangerous situations. [He sounds wry, though, and he leans down to pet the top of BB-8's head.]

I, ah-

I saw your post, by the way.

Congratulations.

You guys deserve it.

Wouldn't make a very good rebel, either. [ Resistance, rebellion, whatever they call it - the terminology matters less than the ideals and beliefs behind it, and Kanan is confident that's something they share. ]

Thanks, Poe. I think we all deserve to fi -

[ He stutters to a stop, as if he just heard - or saw - something that no one else did. He sucks in a sharp breath, and lets it out on a sigh. His shoulders tense - and then he deliberately relaxes them. The moment passes. ]

Sorry. I'll let you get back to it.

[ And then he abruptly ends the video feed. Sorry Poe, nothing personal. ]

[Well great, now he's fucking worried.

He waits for a while, just to see if Kanan comes back....

In the end, it's the next day, when he sends a text.]

you alright, buddy?

did something happen?

Nothing happened, I promise.

Just one of the down-sides of being Force sensitive. Gives me headaches sometimes. Everything is fine.

... didn't realise it had side effects

sorry, bud

hope you feel better

It's a two-edged blade sometimes.

But thanks, I'm much better now.

alright.

let me know if you need anything?

I will, thank you.

You do the same.
