[OOC—update: Just specify in subject line which game!]
Luke Skywalker has finished the recharging station. It's not finished, so it will take a day for a full charge of my main power supply and backup. It also can't be moved yet, so I would have to be at his housing unit in Heropa, #19, for the duration.
[ Which is... honestly, not a thing he particularly wants to do, but he's so tired. He hasn't charged in so long.
But he also hasn't said he's going yet. Cassian could say no. He probably wouldn't, and perhaps there's a good reason not to, like some kind of flaw or reason he hasn't thought of that could be dangerous (unlikely), or maybe Cassian will need him (more likely), but overall, he's waiting for a go-ahead. ]

[ Oh. An option he had hoped for considered, but didn't think was too likely. That's a nice surprise. ]
I think entertainment would be the least we could do for him, considering the favor he is doing us.

[ He might have just wound up playing "I Spy" around Luke's room for 12+ hours. He's done as much, alone, on the ship. It was sad. ]
I'm already speaking to him now. I'll mention the games.

who do you think's gonna come in next and from when
the way our luck's been going I'd put money on an Imperial showing up from before Yavin

[a long pause before he can get himself to finish typing the sentence.
…Yavá. God. Is this happening. Is he going to go there. Without being forced. Or is it better to preempt.

consider organizing

[Han does not know anything about Cassian's inner conflict. As far as he knows, this is a sensible and serious suggestion to his less than serious shitposts texts.]
not a bad idea
the ones coming in ain't much right now without an army, but Dooku's been here more than a year so he's had some time to figure some things out
least we can do is put our info together and work out some kind of plan just in case
[And then there's the matter of Darth Vader sans the black armor, but that's not something Han will talk about. Not without Luke's say-so.]

[Han's agreement is surprisingly calming—perhaps in the direction he takes it in. Draws Cassian's mind back from hypothetical extremes and to the immediate]
agreed - was considering amassing a timeline anyway
[he already had a fair amount stored in his enhanced memory just from speaking to everyone else. But forming something they could actually reference. In an ideal, benign world, it could be useful to newcomers orienting themselves. In a less…
No matter. Synchronize information.
No files on them as individuals—no dossiers. The local government already had more of that than Cassian liked. No need to do more of their work for them.
But their universe's history. He couldn't foresee how that could be used to ill effect here. Maybe wishful thinking but he could foresee at least three positive possible impacts.
He decided to run the theory by Kaytoo before enacting it.]
going to talk to k-2 about helping me on that
we can either generate a file for sharing or keep it with k
will consider best option
but solidifying the big picture -
- would like to hope it could even be persuasive that
[no. He strikes that out. He'd been working so hard at shedding the spy. Now (shoulders unconsciously squaring at the thought) he starts to regather those ways of operating. Including: only answer the question put. No speculation.
Gather intel. Set the goal.
...understand this change of subject, Han. Please.]
i quite enjoyed game night

with people getting ported in and out regularly, we should stick it all in a file that'll stay even if we get ported out
plus with people coming from all over the timeline we probably might end up meeting our own ancestors so there should be something in place so we don't accidentally run over our own grandpa
[Yes. This is the kind of thing Han thinks is important late at night.]
yeah sure
if you're up for going back home with empty pockets

[Very short and to the point here, huh.]
I might have made a bad judgement call.

I might have made a bad judgement call.
I may have unintentionally arranged a meeting between myself and General Hux.
Which isn't me saying I can't handle it. Because I can.
[But you know how bad he is at this, and he knows how bad he is at this, even if he pretends he doesn't.]

[ Voice is safe, for now, but- ]
I don't want you getting involved in this.
[ He says it very quickly, but emphatically. ]

[ He says it very quickly, but emphatically. ]
[ That's probably the best he could ask for. ]
I'm sure nothing is going to come of it. At the very worst, he finds out I've been lying, and I don't get any information.
[ And, normally, if it was just a standard Imperial officer, that'd be the end of it. But he could have powers. So that's a little more dangerous.
He just doesn't want to put Cassian in a position where he may have to use violence. That was what his human companion had wanted, when they had first spoke again on this planet. Maybe he shouldn't have even told Cassian about this, so that he wasn't put into this position... ]

That's okay. I just want to hear.
[And be on hand.
Not because Kay can't protect himself better than anyone else could. Not because Cassian intends to do anything or knows what it would be even if he did. He doesn't have a blaster.
But… he needs to be there.]

[if we get ported out
It's a good thing they're in text.
Though how Solo could even type it so nonchalantly.
He supposed because Solo conceivably had things to go back to?
Or was just, contrary to all affect, better at accepting what couldn't be controlled.
…or possibly was a bit sleep-deprived-inebriated.]
im sure youd manage to swerve
want to grab skywalker and calrissian ill get k and jyn tomorrow night
see if skywalker thinks we should include revan
[he's using surnames and putting Kay before Jyn. None of that can be good.]

yeah but what if somebody ELSE kills him what happens then
there's two Skywalkers be more specific
and yeah I can grab Luke and Lando
you okay there? [Han might not be Force-sensitive, and is not always the most sensitive person at all, but something is Up here. And Cassian's a fellow rebel, if not a friend. He's—concerned, to say the least.]

thats too good of a question
[maybe dying here returns one to there. Maybe they can't be killed here because they are already dead. Maybe they're just shadows of the people who are still continuing in the original timeline so it's utterly separate and doesn't matter.
Does anything ma… stop]
yes luke
heard through the dorva vine
[one for you, Corellian.
Though by which he means watching other peoples' conversations]
that anakin skywalker goes by another name
[To the last line…
Even on a good day, Cassian has no idea how to answer that question.
For now can only type—with a heaviness even to text]

I know
Luke told me when he got here
I promised not to shoot his dad just yet but if something happens cause of Vader we gotta figure something out
[Han thinks: I've seen this before. Has felt it before, sometimes, when it felt as if the war wouldn't end any time soon. As much as he doesn't want to admit it, he's grown to care about the Rebellion, about its cause.
He blames Luke, and Leia, and his own bleeding heart.]
Friday night, just you and me and the closest thing there is on this dustball to Corellian rum
drinks are on me

[…the place Cassian mentally flashes to is initially hard to reconcile.
Cassian wouldn't go too far with any comparison between Han Solo and Kay.
You know. Other than overall manner and self-opinion and disregard.
But perhaps it was because… it felt…
Maybe, as close as an organic could reasonably get to K-2SO, maybe Han seemed unlikely to be injured by or get lost in Cassian's pain.
…That was welcome.]
guess we shouldnt do that right now
its on
thank you
Crash position. Legs braced. Elbows on knees. Head hung almost between them. Suspended shy of the blaster somehow still in his numb hand.
Unable to stop staring at it.
With vision distorted by tears.
The last he'll be able to produce and shed for… well. For the rest of his life.
He doesn't look up hearing Kay approach. He knows it's him. A KX droid's footfalls are hard to mistake, and Kay's have a cadence others' don't thanks to… having a personality. Thanks to the "jailbreak".
Is that what I did? Did I free him? Or is he now just enslaved to me?
Some would say I freed them. They're idiots. There isn't always two sides to everything.
What if I've never freed anybody.
What if I'm no better than
What if I'm
…
That was Kay pausing. No doubt staring at him. Trying to ascertain why Cassian was in this utterly unprecedented position. The droid will be able to analyze factors and tell that Cassian isn't injured. That Cassian's system is uncompromised by foreign toxicants. That his blaster has been recently and repeatedly fired.
Will have to find other explanations. Doubtless his original programming, however no longer controlling him, has ample psychological data in service of interrogation.
He will be able to recognize the sight of someone who's been broken.
Not "been". Done it myself.
The surmise seemed to be correct. As Kay, with a gentleness his manufacturers would not have intended and most still would not think possible, had taken Cassian's weapon and then took Cassian himself and got them all back to the ship. Had been positively parental in getting Cassian situated before getting them the hell off Jenoport.
Somewhere in there, Kay had made the offer. Volunteering himself for a memory wipe, in case Cassian's "continued dignity and service demanded it".
Cassian hoped he'd responded aloud, not just in his mind. No one is ever messing with your programming again. Ever. I need who you are.
Cassian wouldn't go too far with any comparison between Han Solo and Kay.
You know. Other than overall manner and self-opinion and disregard.
But perhaps it was because… it felt…
Maybe, as close as an organic could reasonably get to K-2SO, maybe Han seemed unlikely to be injured by or get lost in Cassian's pain.

[Han would honestly be Offended, down to his very bones, were Cassian ever to compare him to Kaytoo. Some of this is his dislike for droids, exacerbated by Threepio's constant chattering presence on the Falcon, and some of this is just Han's personal dislike of Kaytoo.
Still. Cassian's a rebel in the same vein as Luke and Leia. Han can't not try to help him out a little, even if his idea of help is a bit special.]
of course I never promised anything about not punching him
hope you can hold your liquor, I hear Maurtia Falls has the best bars
