From A Galaxy Far, Far Away to A Galaxy Not All That Far Away At All, Thursday Evening, Fandom Time

It wasn't that Kanan had been in any hurry to part ways with Hera and Zaluna; really, the opposite couldn't have been more true. But, besides the fact that he had to leave a trail placing him on Gorse through all the previous action so that he'd be just another suicide flier who'd left the planet when work dried up, he'd come back to this galaxy ( Read more... )

Whelp. Kanan had just found a new love of his life, and her name was Ghost. He'd known Hera's ship was nice. That much had basically gone without saying. But he hadn't suspected that the gemstone-shaped freighter that he'd nearly gotten shot down over, the one that had caught his eye the day he'd gone in for his last proper shift for Moonglow, was Hera's.

He could see why she'd been so frustrated over Expedient.

"You know," he said, walking another lap around the Ghost, expression a mix of wonder and awe, "I think we can fit the Escape in her."

Hera's ship was significantly larger than his, it so happened.

"The Escape?" Hera asked.

Kanan gave Hera a wry smile and a lopsided shrug of his shoulder.

"My ship," he explained. "What, you thought a guy like me would settle for Expedient?"

No sane pilot would settle for Expedient.

Hera answered his smile with one equally wry. "I get the feeling you never settle if you can help it. The Ghost is big," she went on, "but there's not cargo space enough for another ship. Still, we could probably dock it in, like the Phantom." She nodded to the excursion module. "What sort of ship are we talking?"

Several hours - and a stop for groceries, really, Kanan? - the Ghost and its shipment of two rebels, an extra ship, and as much caf, nerf, jogan, and meilooruns as they could bargain for was in the spot Kanan had directed her to.

And then they were over a planet. Alarmed, Hera checked her instruments, but they definitely hadn't gone through hyperspace. "Kanan...?"

"It's fine," Kanan said, waving a dismissive hand. "I said we were off the grid, and I meant it. Earth just takes some... alternate travel methods to get to."

And if Portalocity hadn't pulled through for them, he would've taken his blaster with him to chat to whoever ran the outlet in his galaxy, and he would've demonstrated some interesting places to shove it.

"This is it, all right. And we're aiming for--" He leaned over and entered some coordinates. "There."

A beat.

He decided against adding, 'So long as the island hasn't gone wandering again.'

Hera eyed the coordinates, but took time to run full diagnostics on the Ghost. "Whatever these alternative methods are, they better not have -" she sighed in relief when everything came back clean.

"Okay, fine." She opened comms, but they were...really quiet. "Not a lot of traffic, is there?" There were hardly even any satellites. "Chop, can you find anything?"

The droid beeped and whistled, then plugged into the ship, and after a few moments opened a channel with familiar-sounding traffic chatter in Basic and a few other languages Hera'd never heard before.

"Do we contact or avoid them?" Hera asked. This was Kanan's bolt-hole, after all.

"They probably wouldn't know what to make of us," Kanan admitted, shrugging his shoulders. "It's kind of just 'fly it in and park it' territory, here. There isn't even a proper spaceport."

NASA would get a kick out of two total strangers in a ship with faster-than-light capabilities asking where they had clearance to land from orbit, he was sure.

"This world isn't completely backrocket, but it's close. They don't get out much, you could say."
