Who: Rey & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: For Marsiva.
When: 9/16

[She is understandably confused, but after all she has experienced, she is taking this in careful strides. Unlike a certain member of the Dark Side.]

If anyone can see this transmission, my name is Rey and I was just - [Meeting a cloaked Jedi. No big deal.] It doesn't matter. I'm looking for the Millennium Falcon and a tall Wookiee named Chewbacca.

[Unless she has been kidnapped by the First Order again.]

This ship is called the Marsiva, isn't it? It...wouldn't happen to be owned by the First Order, would it?

[Please say no. She has noticed that she is missing the lightsaber and that leaves her with only one option if she is cornered. How does the Jedi Mind Trick even work?]

Any information I have will not be leaked to the First Order.

I won't make deals with the Dark Side.

[flawless_precision]

I am not with the Dark Side. [Which wasn't a lie; Phasma had no Force leaning or sensitivity.]

Your assumptions are leading me to believe you really do have nothing to offer. Unintelligent, baseless accusations.

text

[leftonjakku]

If you are allies with Kylo Ren, that is the side you are supporting.

Baseless? I fought him twice - once aboard one of your ships and the second when he pursued my friend and I.

[Allies is putting it strongly. She tolerates him. She'll do so here, but without as much motivation to continue if he to be a strain to her efforts.]

Let us leave Kylo Ren out of this conversation. He has no bearing on my actions.

[leftonjakku]

[He's a very unhealthy man in Rey's opinion.]

But he fights for the First Order! You cannot tell me there are not others like him.

Re: text

[flawless_precision]

No. There are not.

[This she can say with confidence. She would agree with Rey's assessment and maybe there is where she'll get her foot in.]

text

[leftonjakku]

Are you sure? No one chooses the Dark Side all on their own.

[That's what the stories say anyway.]

text

[flawless_precision]

Does anyone truly choose any side on their own? Or are they weighing the arguments and experience that others have presented them?

text

[leftonjakku]

I know his parents. They wouldn't have taught him those things.

Someone did and that should frighten you.

text

[flawless_precision]

And you can speak for his parents? His upbringing? You were there and you can account for his decisions?

You assume too much and it is getting tiring.

text

[leftonjakku]

There is right and wrong. We should be able to feel the difference.

Re: text

[flawless_precision]

What a simple and childlike assessment.

You will grow up one day and realize you've put your loyalties into the wrong people.

text

[leftonjakku]

I don't think so. They are my friends - not just my allies.

Re: text

[flawless_precision]

And you believe friends, infallible? Free of flaws?

text

[leftonjakku]

Of course not. No one is infallible.

text

[flawless_precision]

Then by your own admission you are allowing your world to be shaped by faulty perceptions.

text

[leftonjakku]

No world is perfect. We take chances every single day.

I'm not afraid to take a chance on any of them.

Re: text

[flawless_precision]

Perhaps that is why Kylo Ren is thinking.

I don't know, he is not my ward.

Consider it food for thought.

text

[leftonjakku]

His chances lead to inevitable tragedy. Surely he can see that.

text

[flawless_precision]

Surely.

[If text could be mocking.]

Grow up, little girl. Your world is lies and misconceptions.

text

[leftonjakku]

I could say the same to you.

text

[flawless_precision]

And what do you know of me?

text

[leftonjakku]

I know you have either allied with the First Order or you are someone who empathizes with them.
