WHO: in order of appearance: Cassian Andor, Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, Jyn Erso, K-2SO, Veronica Sawyer, Revan, Anakin Skywalker
WHERE: HOPE, De Chima #3, Revan's shop, somewhere between
WHEN: various (whenever's best for you?)
WHAT: All the stuff—work developments and CR developments and thematic schtick and usual
R1 "why can't the universe be simpler" stuff…? Making a megalog instead of many indie ones to avoid commspam.
WARNINGS: (both in thread #2) the further adventures of Smutly O'Smuttington; then (ironically, but not unrelatedly) unintentional sex-shaming
0. Prelude…Cassian has tabulated all the data he's so far received of their own galaxy's history. From every representative currently here, willing to talk to him, or not but having already contributed intel over open channels. He's written it up in such a way that will minimize ability to identify his sources. Patterns can be assessed, of course, but there's no delineation drawn between the primary source/anecdotal and what's recounted from later. (Only in Cassian's mind and Kaytoo's circuits to try and track… objectivity. If there can ever be such a thing in politics and history.
My work is not necessarily to identify objective truths. My work is to identify what enough people believe to be true. What we believe drives our choices and perceptions, which in turn form much of the reality around us. I need to understand these things so I can work with them toward what I hope might be higher truths.…Again…
in the absence of Draven, who knew who Cassian would actually try to emulate… but it was because understanding war as intimately as he did meant knowing how
extreme the costs of avoiding it had to become in order to be less than the costs of embarking on it. But as long as that balance made one choice clear over the other, he would emulate Mon Mothma. And try everything else first.
Perhaps amassing this history is an act with that goal. Geared to those who seemed inclined toward war not in reaction to reality but in their
own imagined reality, and/or for its own sake.
They'd tried to throw the futility of the Rebellion in Cassian's face.
The history might show the futility of
all power-mongering.
So have an outline of their history. The Old Republic. The Separatist movement. The Clone Wars and how they ended. The rise of Empire. The rumblings of resistance. The onset of Galactic Civil War. The Rebellion's first major victory. …But how several decades later, either the Empire still exists or a new iteration arises. He knows the least about the last… and wants to find out…
It's obviously a work in progress. He would normally never submit anything other than a fully detailed and
finished report to his superiors. …But this is not to (official, committed, allied) superiors. It's… something. Voluntary and…
It's an opening.
But Cassian hesitates. A player recognizes a player. And he knows he's particularly vulnerable to Count Dooku. …Unless he's particularly forewarned…?
He waits.
