Monty was with us when we first went to the ground. It means that he had been arrested, as well, before he went. [Has she ever told Jyn that she was arrested? Frankly, most of their "crimes" were meaningless except for on a place like the Ark.] We all were. I can't remember if I've told you that.

Monty was from Farm Station, but he was picked to be an engineer. He did what he could to help us rewire radios, and he mostly worked alongside his best friend Jasper.

He went through a lot. He was there with me and Bellamy when we had to make a difficult choice. One that honestly cost us who we were. And when I couldn't deal, he stayed there with Bellamy.

Just like all of us, Monty lost a lot along the way. But he keep going. Because despite the choices that we forced him to make, there was a part of him that still believed that we could do better. He wanted peace and to be away from all the fighting in our world. He kept trying to help us toward that, even after we fell right back into going to war after the six years that kept us all separated.

And when we went to sleep for a while, it was Monty who took the chance to live a peaceful life with his partner, Harper. Harper was a good balance to Monty. A guard and fighter to balance him out. He was more of a farmer after it all. Even if it was just the two of them, they knew that they had to take that chance. They watched over us and worked tirelessly to find our people a new place to live.

When we finally woke up, Monty and Harper had passed and their son Jordan was there to greet us. Monty left us a message telling us that he believed that humanity wasn't the problem. The issue with the world. He asked us to do better.
