Hello, you've reached Rey. I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message, I will try to get back to you.

Thanks.

The stories I heard never mentioned that. Everyone assumed it was an accidental flaw.

[realists]

[ gd history. how many other parts of the story were erased when they wrote the story of the rebellion? no matter, jyn supposes bitterly. she won't be there to read it. ]

He designed it to be undetectable.

[talentedscavenger]

[Well, considering she was from Jakku and the education system there is non-existent, she only has word of mouth to go off of. Along with whatever plans she found in the AT-AT Walker that was her home.]

But you still found it. That's truly remarkable.

[realists]

He sent a message, so they Alliance would know.

[talentedscavenger]

Did the Alliance believe the message initially?

[realists]

No, no one did.

[talentedscavenger]

No, and Cassian said not even the Alliance approved of your mission.

[realists]

The High Council couldn't agree. Not until we were already there and made the choice for them.

[talentedscavenger]

It was stupid for them to not agree on it. You had a chance, you had hope, it was reason enough to try.

[realists]

[ jyn almost laughs to herself, seeing rey make the same arguments that she made. what choice did they have but to fight when the plans were right there for the taking? they couldn't take the risk that the empire would catch on and move them. ]

Without the full support of the council, the odds were too great.

[ it's mon mothma's words, mon mothma's sad answer to the arguing that had flooded the room when jyn had given up speaking, but she supposes they're true. until the ragtag crew of rogue one forced their hand. ]

[talentedscavenger]

But you did it anyway. You had to.

[And the galaxy was better off for it, even though Jyn and Cassian never knew if the plans were ever picked up by the Rebellion.]

[realists]

We didn't have a choice.

[talentedscavenger]

No, you didn't.

[It seemed like they were talking in a circle, and she wasn't sure if Jyn wanted to keep talking about the past...]

If you want, I could tell you a little bit about the future.

[realists]

Maybe in person?

[talentedscavenger]

If you want, sure.

It's nice to have someone from the same star system. When I talked to someone else about droids, they were mystified by the idea of it.

[realists]

I had the same experience, they had no idea what an astromech was.

I think it might be better with food. We could meet at Cassian's apartment.

[ she says meet but jyn is already there and there is already food. (and i can set something up on rey's open post?) ]

[talentedscavenger]

Really? It is what it sounds like. But, that's what you were before? Doing repairs on ships?

If Cassian is alright with it, okay.

[Rey could bring something of her own if Jyn wanted...or maybe she would just bring something to be nice. (Do it!!)]

[realists]

He's alright with it. You can come over whenever. I'll tell you when you get here what I was doing.

[talentedscavenger]

Okay, I'll be there in a day or so. Maybe sooner, depending upon a few things.

But, we'll see each other soon.

[realists]

See you
