[ okay, cassian is insane because jyn isn't willing to talk about anything but she takes a second to question his logic and realizes that he doesn't really mean that she's be willing to talk about it but that she won't lie.
it still takes her a moment to answer, struggling with how to explain a rebellion with no context. ]
Our home is in the middle of a Civil War that's been going on since we were children. The resistance was resisting. It wasn't just one force, there were different factions. Cassian was a member of the Alliance.
[ which, as an explanation, only offers more questions. ]
[Though Yuuri doesn't know her exact age, Jyn obviously is a young woman at this point, and he realizes with some horror what that means with her last text providing some context.]
It's been going on for that long? What started it?
[A pause, before he sends another message.]
Sorry, I'm asking pretty intrusive questions. You don't have to answer them if you don't want to.
It's not, it's the largest part of it. The Alliance has got chancellors and a counsel and a military fleet. But there were other, smaller groups of rebels as well, and the Separatists before them.
[ that's not necessarily true, he has his moments, but for the most part jyn considers him a hell of a lot calmer than she is. she knows this calm is at least a front. ]
Eluvio is a better alternative than what we would have had.
It sounds that way. Even if it was unexpected, I hope you and the Captain have a better time of it here.
[As much as he himself can't help but feel a little resentful of the anomalies for taking him and Viktor away from their home, he can't begrudge people like Jyn and Cassian their happiness, either. Not when he knows they were caught up in a war back in their universe.]
How was the Resistance doing before you were taken by the anomalies?
[Read: Do you think after so many years, the war could finally end soon?]
[ ahahahahaha hahaha ha. "well most of the resistance i knew was dead or dying on a beach about to be obliterated" seems like a cruel thing to say but it's also the truth. ]
Talking instead of doing. They have the key to defeating the Empire now, we can only hope they'll use it sooner rather than later.
[ in a couple days time rey will illuminate her on the truth but for now it's just hope. ]
That sounds like a step in the right direction. Maybe they'll finally be able to end that civil war then!
[He hopes so, at least. A war that's lasted that long is something he wouldn't wish on anyone, even if he's never actually been to Jyn and Cassian's home.]
[ what if she just... doesn't answer that first part. she can handle the pity, she got plenty of it when they returned from eadu, she doesn't want cassian and kay and bodhi to deal with it to. ]
The Force is everything. It's
hard to explain. It would be a very long message. It might scroll. [ slowly, in yellow block print over a starry background. ]

The Jedis fell after the Clone Wars and Palpatine put himself into power as Emperor.
[ men love power. ]
The resistance was small at first because no one realized that democracy was crumbling around them until it was too late.

You said there were different factions. How's the Alliance different from the resistance?

A friend of mine, a brother really, likes to say that everything is as the Force wills it. We're dead, but apparently we're not done.

What is the Force? I've never heard of it.
