[ It's a few hours before BB-8 actually has a chance to tell him the news. That shortly after Cassian's ID appeared on the Network, so did someone else's.

He blinked at the droid for a long minute and then rubbed its head fondly and roughly. "Thanks Bud, this is great," he told BB-8, before pulling out his communicator. He was about to start a video message, but then paused. Right. Okay. Might be a little weird, getting a random video from a stranger hours after showing up.

Text?

Text. ]

Is this Commander Akobi of [ He almost wrote 'the Death Star', but then remembered that 622 didn't even recognise the designation, and changed track. ] battlestation DS-1?

Feel free to ignore this message if not.

[ He's pacing. He knows he shouldn't be - just outside the De Chima hab units. He knows this is a dangerous place for him: Kylo and Hux live in this unit, too. Normally he'd go straight to 622's door, but he doesn't know how to talk to 622 about what happened, and he can't barge in there without some kind of plan. He gave 622 his word to never lie to him again, and he fully intended on keeping it, but he was mildly terrified. He didn't know how the clone would react, and he'd already hurt one person incredibly deeply--

So, pacing, with BB-8 watching a few feet away, swivelling his head every few seconds to look out for Hux and Kylo. ]

[He salutes. That's all the preamble there's going to be.] Sir, I'm worried about the situation with this Ezra Bridger. He's refused to acknowledge the truce.

Tell me what happened at the church was a fever dream, please.

[he hates this?]

[ It was a few hours after Poe hung up on him that Akobi got another message from Poe. It was a text. ]

you want to talk about this?

fine

we'll talk about this

[ And then he linked the coordinates for the park a few blocks down from Akobi's house. ]

[ Sometime after this conversation: ]

Cmdr., I'd like to have a word in person. Where would you like to meet?

[ If this sounds non-negotiable, well- ]

[with an attached image.]

where does it go??

Sir,
Commander Jacob is dead.

Explain 622's 4AM post to me, because judging from his replies I don't think I'm going to get this chip's implications for Aegis Force out of him in his state.

[ She may be acting Commander but she's still an internal agent first and she is not having another Udina situation on her hands. ]

[it's been a couple weeks since jacob returned from the dead and active duty which... archie doesn't agree with, but he can't do much about. he hasn't really thought about the small argument he and akobi had had while he was leading-- he's had far too much on his mind.

he's not looking to annoy the guy, but when he comes to akobi looking for some files, he has a shark hoodie on, his mightyena trotting along at his heel as always.]

Akobi! [he calls out, knocking on the door.] You in there?

[archie's been staring at the same paragraph of this report for about... ten minutes now. no matter how hard he tries, he can't help mentally checking out after the third sentence or so.

he knows why. too much going on, not enough sleep, too much in his head. this sort of stress is making him want a drink so bad at times his hands almost shake, but he pushes through it. for the team, more than himself.

right now, though, archie gives up. he doesn't care if akobi's due to come in soon. he groans and donks his head on the desk through the paper. fucking assholes. abandoning them like this.

he misses ash. he misses ash and her sandwiches. thinking about it almost gets a pained noise out it him.]
