[zoion]

You're a scientist!

[evasives]

I would not call myself one. I just know how to work with data.

[zoion]

That's foundation of it, surely.

[evasives]

Yes, but I am not particularly experimental. I just gather it and use it as I see fit.

[zoion]

And how do you see it fit?

[evasives]

There is no one single answer to that. It depends on circumstance.

[zoion]

Ah, but surely, you have a guiding principle?

[evasives]

[ anti space fascism?? ]

My galaxy is entrenched in a war. My motivations are for the Rebellion.

[zoion]

[ a worthy goal!! ]

What does the Rebellion stand for? If you do not mind the question.

[evasives]

That depends on who you ask. For me, it stands against the Empire and their subjugation.

[zoion]

Subjugation?

That makes sense, then.

[evasives]

They wish to see the entire galaxy under their control, planets stripped of resources.

[zoion]

Ah. Yes. I've met someone with similar goals, once. It's not-

I understand why you fight, then.

[evasives]

I have a harder time understanding people who don't fight, in that sort of situation.

[zoion]

Quite right. Some things are worth fighting for. Or against, as the case may be. Although I do prefer other methods, but sometimes, well. If it is bad enough, that is not always an option.

[evasives]

At least you acknowledge that sometimes there is no choice. There are people who like to pretend otherwise.

[zoion]

Some things, one can't ignore. Or shouldn't, anyway.

[evasives]

No, they should not.

I know you are evidently a wizard and a little of your beliefs, but all I know of your name is Scamander.

[ some people's usernames are random, some are legit! this one just sounds like an animal, so who knows. ]

[zoion]

Oh. Well, yes. That is my name. My last name, that is. Newt Scamander, at your service.

[evasives]

Cassian Andor. I hope you find whoever you were trying to reach.

[zoion]

Oh, I know where he is, it's just this technology, see.

Anyway. It's a pleasure to meet you, Cassian Andor. Or speak with you. I suppose this isn't quite a meeting.

[evasives]

Probably not worth using the tech for conversation till all of this is solved.

It is a small enough ship that I assume it will be a real meeting soon enough.

[zoion]

Ah, yes, but I spend a lot of time in the suitcase, you see.

[evasives]

Right. The magic one.

[zoion]

Would you like to see?
