You can manage to sneak some stuff in for us, right?

[foo_bar]

[he pauses.]

Depends... What are you asking for?

[unhalting]

Binoculars.

[foo_bar]

[he was... expecting worse. And he looks a little surprised but--]

Okay. I think that can be managed... Is there a reason?

[unhalting]

[Just... going to keep his expression neutral here.]

It's just somethin' that'd be useful to have around.

[foo_bar]

... Is it.

[he seems to consider that, and then sighs.]

Sure. I'll see what I can do.

[unhalting]

Thanks. [And, out of fairness.] Let me know if you need something too.

[foo_bar]

If I think of something... I will. But right now, I've got you, no worries.

[unhalting]

[There's a nod here.]

While I'm at it, I've got some questions about that wall. Is that thing even protecting us?

[foo_bar]

[he pauses at that, and well. he isn't sure.]

I don't know. But it's not spreading past it.

[unhalting]

...Is that something you've heard from someone else, or your own guess?

[foo_bar]

My own guess.

Given how suddenly it became dangerous, I'm not sure how fast it's supposed to move... But it hasn't.

[unhalting]

[Hmm.]

You're from this world, so you'd know better than I would. Is there some kinda technology that you could use to block somethin' out without being there physically?

[Which would seem kind of bs to him but then again... people talk about magic and shit here too so.]

[foo_bar]

What do you mean? In what sense?

[unhalting]

[He is definitely not the best person to ask for this fml]

Like the way the atmosphere blocks out certain things, but you can pass through if you're in a shuttle. We can't see it, but it's there.

[foo_bar]

Ah-- it's possible, but I'd have to look into it. It doesn't seem like this would be the type of thing they advertise.

[unhalting]

And I guess it'd be the same answer for any technology that takes people from different worlds, huh. What kinda connections do they have to get their hands on this stuff?

[foo_bar]

A good question, actually. It's not like this is something that's common knowledge, or... even really thought as possible.

[he considers]

I'd have to get back with you on this one too. Sorry.

[unhalting]

Yeah, thanks.

[There's a pause as Orga thinks over something before he takes out a piece of paper and unfolds it in front of Han, sliding it towards the other man, showing the blueprints to be some sort of warship. He takes a couple of moments to skim over some of the plan himself, before he stops and taps on a specific term: "Distortion Drive".]

Ever heard of this before?
