[realists]

Is captain the rank different from captain of a ship or crew?

[ wouldn't bodhi be their captain in that case, since he was undeniably rogue one's pilot? ]

[evasives]

In my case, yes, since my rank comes through being in Intelligence. I was not part of the Alliance Fleet.

[he's still the captain!! he was technically the superior officer to rogue one even if jyn had lead it beside him.]

[realists]

[ WELL HE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE LONGER SPEECH THEN ]

Army Captain.

[ she tries to remember all the people she'd met on yavin 4, but the majority of them were in intelligence. there was that ginger pilot at the command meeting though, he'd have been navy. ]

That's why your rank is red.

[evasives]

[THE TACTICAL ELEMENTS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT.]

Yes. When necessary I have command of troops or units, and sometimes that may extend to all the people on board a ship, but when that happens we were usually on our way towards a mission.

[realists]

Did you notice that without the . your username is candor?

[ let's all take a moment to laugh about that. ]

[evasives]

Maybe it's for a false sense of security.

[realists]

Maybe it's a sign

[evasives]

Of what?

[realists]

Well you're not a spy anymore

[evasives]

I still am one, even if I don't have work here.

[realists]

A spy is not who you are

[ cassian, no. ]

[evasives]

It is part of that.

[no angst, just matter of fact!]

[realists]

It's part of your job. Your job isn't your life.

Not anymore.

[evasives]

[but the job was his life???? what now??? also they're dead do they even have a life??]

I can't just turn it off. It never turns off.

[realists]

So no one will ever know who Cassian Andor really is?

[ why does that make her so sad? ]

[evasives]

[he was not prepared at all for this train of thought. there is no rebellion here, but it's been easy to at least fall back on old habits, on digging around, a pseudo-reconnaissance. it's too instinctive to do anything but spy. he let himself fall into it because he didn't want to think about being dead or anything else.]

[she's right though. he doesn't have to. but when he thinks about not being a spy, he just feels...lost. he tried to make a better choice, he knows why he went to scarif, to do better, but it ended there.]

[what if he doesn't even know who he really is?]

They're not supposed to.

[it's fine he's cool, it's a roundabout answer.]

[realists]

Okay.

[ good to know. it's night so she decides she can just peace out without it being weird. ]

Thanks for the captain info. Night

[evasives]

[what. what?? he feels like he did something wrong but he is also feeling kind of mentally dizzy so he stares at the text for an unusually obscene amount of time. how does jyn manage to do this to him??]

Okay.

Good night, Jyn.
