o1. [ video. ] (backdated to the 14th.)
[ At first the person shown in the feed is completely covered, forehead to chin in wrapped linen rags and handcrafted goggles that look as though they've been repurposed from a flight helmet. As the video focuses though, she pulls her coverings apart to reveal her face as she speaks. A young girl, of about nineteen, dark-haired and dark-eyed and freckled enough to suggest she's seen quite a bit of sun in her short life. ]
I haven't introduced myself to the inhabitants here at large yet, but. My name's Rey. I've a few suggestions to offer everyone who isn't used to this kind of dust and debris in the air; my former home was essentially a desert wasteland, wracked by sandstorms, so I've got some experience with this that might be useful.
First — whenever you venture outside, cover every part of your face, eyes included if you're able to acquire some goggles. [ She holds them up to demonstrate. ] If you don't have a pair, I could probably fashion you some with some extra parts, provided you have some clear plastic for lenses. Make sure the eye covering is air-tight around your face. For your mouth and nose, use fabric that allows breathability; you want to limit particles, but not impair your breathing.
Second, for items in your home that are left out, turn them upside-down to ensure they accrue the least amount of dust, possible. Fine-mesh netting over your windows instead of screens. Make sure you cover up cracks in doors and entryways. Try not to venture outside during the worst of the storm, the harshest gales, because the sand and particles will be whipped up so hard that they actually might strip you of your clothing.
If you need any assistance with any of this, I'm happy to help. I know how hard it can be when you're subjected to the elements, like this.
That's all.

Re: video;
I'm not familiar with Jakku, though, sorry.
My name's Luke by the way. Nice to meet you.
video;
Luke? ...Luke Skywalker?
Re: video;
[He's not surprised; there aren't very many places he isn't known in his timeline.]
video;
Everyone is looking for you, [ she says instead. ] They're in dire need of your help.
Re: video;
[Is she from the future? Or an alternate reality?]
I don't know if any time passes back home while we are here...or if something happened while I've been here.
What year is it back home?
I know of one other explanation...I'm just not sure which we're dealing with.
