come and crash into me baby

It is very difficult not to notice a space ship flying through the city. Especially when it crashes into the park. It spins off of a couple of buildings before it does so, and a good chunk of it manages to destroy the newly rebuilt coffee shop. Most of it, though, manages to spin into the Cloud Gate at Millenium Park. The Millennium Falcon has

((OOC: Any members of Torchwood who want to play can assume they were in the SUV with Gwen and Sam. Any non-Torchwood people who want to go WTF at Torchwood are welcome to.))

Where there are spaceships falling from the sky, Torchwood is soon to follow.

One of the Torchwood SUVs arrives at the park only a few minutes after the spaceship crashed. Gwen slides out of the driver's seat and starts toward the ship like she belongs there, all business. Torchwood doesn't have the authority here that they did in Cardiff, but if they pretend, maybe no one will question it.

Sam gets out of the passenger seat a moment later. He takes a moment to stare before he follows Gwen. He knows that ship. Oh, he knows that ship. (And if he hadn't already... well, Jack once brought him just about every Star Wars game in existence.) This is unreal... which is really saying something, given his life.

Where there are crashing alien ships there is bound to be an Owen, and where there is a Sam, there is bound to be an Andy. (And where there is an Owen there is almost certainly a Matoi, but if she doesn't make herself known, it's sometimes hard to tell.) Owen is content to haul out what passes for field equipment in this universe and follow the nearest person looking for a hatch, but Andy...

Andy is in Sam's camp of wondering why the Millennium Falcon just crashed in the middle of her city.

Frickin' Rift.

"You know, I kinda liked that statue," Andy remarks, picking her way over Cloud Gate shards and eyeing the area suspiciously as if AT-STs will appear out of nowhere and start shooting. "What are our odds of finding someone sensible in there?"

By which she means, probably Leia.

"I liked it too," Marshall pouts, exiting out of the van semi-backwards so he can dig some piece of tech or another out. "It seems like just yesterday we were trying to keep it from being blown up and now..."

Marshall finally turns and gets a good look at the spaceship and his jaw drops. On one hand, a spaceship in Millennium Park is pretty awesome. On the other, it's the Millennium Falcon.

Yeah. He's just going to be in nerdcore shock for a second.

Sam smiles, just a little, because even while hip-deep in angst, if you can't smile about fictional spaceships crashing (more or less harmlessly) into your city, you are doing something wrong.

"Probably low," he says to Andy. "Maybe it's empty. Otherwise, I would imagine someone would have tried to... brake..."

Gwen's circling the ship slowly, searching for a door or... something. She's not seeing any, but she's not exactly... incredibly experienced when it comes to spaceships. Most of the aliens in Cardiff had the courtesy to leave theirs behind.
