Mostly through old Rebellion records. Saw a couple of old Imperial wanted holos featuring you too, I remember thinking that you looked younger than I expected.
[ There's the outside chance that it's not actually her, but what are the odds? ]
There's a lot more to you than your prison time. I've spent the last six months camping out in the jungle, and it's no prison but it feels like we're trapped, all the same.
You're not dead or in prison now. Have you thought about what you want to do, now that you've got another chance?
No one really knew who they were back then, before the Battle of Yavin. Which they only won because of what you and your crew did on Scarif. Without those plans the whole Rebellion would have been wiped out that day.
[ jyn abruptly sits down and since she wasn't actually hiding in her room but roaming the halls, she sits down with her back against the wall. ]
We didn't know if anyone received the plans.
The shield gate was closed and we didn't know if anyone got it open or if they hit the master switch. After a while people stopped answering their comms when we hailed them so we stopped calling.
[ one by one they stopped responding. first k2, then sefla, bodhi, tonc, melshi, chirrut, baze. she didn't know the names of the bodies they'd passed on the beach but cassian has probably tried to raise them on comms too.
[ He kind of figured that, with as many people running around from his own time, someone would have told her by now. Not that telling her in person would have necessarily made this easier to take in, hearing about a future she wouldn't have been around to see or even hear about, if not for the anomaly. ]
It was close. The shield went down, but by that time Vader and the rest of the Imperial fleet were right on top of them. A lot of good people didn't make it out that day.
[ They knew that was going to happen, successful mission or no, when they made the call to go all in. ]
Never thought I'd get to talk to any of them myself.

... well. this isn't awkward ]
My name's Poe Dameron.
You wouldn't know me, but I've heard about you.

Yeah?

[ SOMEHOW she manages to sound defensive over text
because she is a baby ]

but also still somehow decades older than him because time makes no sense anymore ]
I was getting in trouble at that age too.
[
tell us a story grandpabut more seriously- ]Have you been to Scarif yet?

I don't know how that works, but I'm glad that you're here.
no subject
So who is going to be the first person to see you naked on the ship?
You you, not past you.
no subject
In person or over the network? Are those two separate categories?

My wanted posters aside, I am not very interesting. I spent the last six months in prison.
[ which is as much an opening to ask questions as she is capable of giving ]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging you. My parents got out too. Settled down on Yavin 4 actually, practically in the shadow of the old temple.
no subject
You parents were in the Alliance?

I'm sorry I can't tell you I knew them. I was only there for a few days.
[ she genuinely is. if they were young enough to start a family they couldn't have been that much older than her. ]
Though if we'd met it would have been because of Scarif so maybe I'm not sorry anymore.
[ that was a stream of conscious journey she went on ]
no subject
... Did you know that already?

It's good
That they got the plans.

Don't get your hopes up, I'm not that great

Unless you're determined to go with that isolation thing.
[ as if that's actually an option, she's got to come out eventually ]
