Sabine Wren

[explosive_artist]

Sabine comes in, spinning a blaster through various arcs like an Old West gunslinger. Things have changed back home and she thinks they're for the good.

Everyone who becomes permanent crew gets to know.

And they seem to be long term.

Permanent crew. It's a idea she has to get used to it seems, despite not having anything permanent since Mandalore. Is it something she wants? Well, if how centered and secure she feels was anything to go by, then yes. She just never expected to be so casually welcomed, but then her crew (and yes, she was part of them now, for better or worse) always managed to surprise her.

Once she at Bar, a tankard of ne'tra gal is waiting for her, which she takes up with a nod. With her other hand she still spins her blaster in and out of her holster.

Cassian's drinking a caf and reading about the French revolution and its aftermath when Sabine enters. His gaze follows her spinning blasters, "Good news?"

[explosive_artist]

Sabine nods.

"Looks like I'm permanent crew, if I want."

[childofrebellion]

He gestures to a chair for her with a nod, that's a major step, "Congratulations."

[explosive_artist]

She holsters the blaster, grabs her ale, and heads over to sit down.

"Thanks. It's a good crew and we work well together."

[childofrebellion]

"That's a good find and not an easy one," Trust isn't easy to come by in their world.

[explosive_artist]

"I hope you have a good crew." She's not certain if he's mentioned a crew or not, but she's leaning towards not.

[childofrebellion]

"I've got a good droid co-pilot," He has the back up of the Rebellion but not truly a crew, its better that way.

[explosive_artist]

"Not much can beat a good droid," she agrees. "Still, I hope things change to where a crew makes sense."

She's enough of an extrovert that she believes having people around is important.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian shrugs, with the kind of work he does, that's not likely. Its easier to do it alone or with Kay, if he's lonely, that feels right, "Maybe someday."

[explosive_artist]

"Business been successful?" she asks causally, certain he'll catch her meaning.

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, it has, a few bumps but nothing I couldn't handle. How about you?"

[explosive_artist]

"A few complications, but nothing we couldn't work around. HAven't seen any of those new toys we talked about last time, but we're keeping our eyes open."

[childofrebellion]

"If you want what I mentioned before, I have my datapad," This way he can share the info with fewer steps between.

[explosive_artist]

"Great," she replies and reaches for her datapad as well. "I've some nav charts from shipping convoys but not much beyond that at present. A few of their manifests as well, if you're interested."

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, I would. Manifests show you the patterns of what's being moved,"

He pulls up the files he wanted and starts getting ready to transfer them to her.

[explosive_artist]

And she in turn pulls up her files, (checks to make sure her security is in place) and nods that she's ready for the transfer.

"I hope it'll be helpful. Was pretty boring on our end." At least as far as she knows. What Hera and her friends made of it, Sabine has no idea or awareness on.

[childofrebellion]

"Some work is but then it provides a larger picture of what's happening,"

Once he has the surveillance information set, he hands her the data to transfer.

[explosive_artist]

She accepts the data and once it's transferred offers her own.

"That's always the challenge, keeping focus during the boring. Cause you never know when things might turn."

[childofrebellion]

"But you have to be prepared. Data's a good way to do that. I'm always trying to think a few steps ahead," He makes the transfer and hands it back to her.

[for_everyone]

Hera's sitting at the bar, swiping through her datapad, a half-drunk cup of caf next to her. The work is engrossing enough that she doesn't glance up often, but as she's reaching for her cup again -

"Sabine?"

[explosive_artist]

Sabine turns at her name, recognizing the voice though she can't quite place it in this context, and sees Hera. Who she's never told about Milliways.

Is she about to get a dressing down for withholding intel?

"Hera!" she says with enthusiasm that's only slightly fake. "I didn't know you...came here."

Does Kanan know about Milliways? Zeb? Wait, have they been holding out on her? Granted, she wouldn't have believed them and her doors have been random.

[for_everyone]

"I didn't know you did," she says, with a small smile.

"How long have you been coming here?"

[explosive_artist]

"Off and on, since the Academy. It's been sporadic, though. You? And who else comes here? Should I keep quiet about it like I have been?"

[for_everyone]

"Kanan and I first came in..."

She actually needs a moment to think about it. "It was a long time ago, not that long after we first met. We've never seen anyone else we know here before."

Hera shrugs. "But there's really no way of knowing for sure." Unless you happen to sit at the bar at the same time, that is.

"I'm not going to tell you to keep it a secret, but we always assumed no one would believe it if we tried. The moment you walk out of here, the whole thing feels more like a dream."

[explosive_artist]

OK, so Kanan but not Zeb? Maybe.

"Yeah. After the first time a door got me on board, I was tempted to talk with you about it, but I was still new and didn't want you guys thinking a was crazy or something."

"There is one guy here I'm pretty sure is from our universe. His name is Cassian and he operates Mid Rim," Sabine looks around to see if anyone is close enough to over hear, "I think he does job in our field or he's a smuggler. Either way, he's offer to trade things like specs on new Imperial tech that he comes across for any news of movement from the Outer Rim inward."

"We're being vague on personal details between each other just, in case."

"I think there are a few more people who aren't to keen on the Empire, but I haven't talked with them."

[for_everyone]

Hera nods, "I've met him."

She glances away for a moment, tapping the bar top.

"We told him we're cargo-runners. I'm guessing you were vague about the rest of your crew?"

[explosive_artist]

Sabine shakes her head.

"No names, and no numbers. Haven't said the name of the ship or even what system...actually, I may have said near Lothal once. I'm not sure. So far he seems to respecting my anonymity, and keeps his details short also."

"We got started complaining about how hard it is to do business with the Empire's new rules and how much easier it is to not get their attention."

[for_everyone]

"He's been feeling us out. And it's not a bad idea, if we can make contacts here, but..."

Hera lets out a breath. "It's an interesting place, but it's not particularly safe."

[explosive_artist]

Sabine nods in a way that suggests a little shame or embarrassment.

"Yeah. I wish I had thought of that when I first started coming here, but I did tone it down pretty quickly."

There might have been a graffiti incident, though no Imperials seemed to have noticed..

[for_everyone]

"Toning it down was probably a good idea."

But Hera smiles. "Though it seems like most people here wouldn't know anything about our galaxy."

[explosive_artist]

"It's kind of weird, isn't it? I mean, I guess it's good the Empire isn't everywhere, but it's odd to think they're places that aren't being weighted down."

[for_everyone]

Her smile fades at that. Her eyes flicker down, as though caught on something else for a moment.

"That's true," she says, when she looks up again. "It's... unusual, in a lot of ways. But I think most of the other worlds here likely have problems of their own."

[explosive_artist]

Sabine nods her head.

"A fair point. It is nice to see what it could be like for the galaxy some day though."

[for_everyone]

“No, you’re right, Sabine.”

She looks down to the bar again, considering this. “I hadn’t thought that much about it before, but I’m just old enough to remember the galaxy before the Empire, and I can barely remember anything from before the Clone Wars. Soon we’ll have a generation that only knows the Empire.”
