[ She does take the rest of what he says more seriously, and it reassures her fears, somewhat. ]
That's good to hear. I suppose we all must work together if we're to get what we came here for.
no subject
[That authority is what matters to him, anyway. He's never been very good at sticking to orders other people give him; part of that pesky defiance disorder he'd had as a budding teenager, now perfectly packaged in the form of a little genius who will walk under the yellow tape to do what he feels is most beneficial to his work.
Which means things like ignoring your superiors to drift with a kaiju brain.
Wahoo.]
What're you here on this ship for, anyway? Or is that confidential?
no subject
No, not confidential. Actually somewhat relevant to the topic of conversation, really.
[ Talking about the treatment of droids by organics. ]
Shortly before coming here I orchestrated a rebellion of enslaved droids-- and some organics-- in a spice mining facility on the planet Kessel. My fear is that ultimately the effort will be for nought, because the freed slaves have no way of getting off Kessel, as there is an Imperial starship on its way to quell the rebellion. That is what I'm here to change.

[He holds up a hand, and quickly adds:]
The slave thing, not so awesome! But whoa. Hell yeah. I'm all for some good old fashion rebellions! So you're basically working to try and fully emancipate all of these droids by being here.
That's a lot for one droid to have on their shoulders.
no subject
[ Yes, it's a tremendous responsibility, a tremendous weight on her shoulders, as Newt said. But it's been her life's work. She wants for other droids what she was able to achieve for herself. It's that simple. ]
It's only a drop in the bucket, I'm afraid. There are tens of thousands of droids across the galaxy. And organics have been using us as slave labor for thousands of years.
no subject
... Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you.
I sure hope you've got a lot of help coming soon. People you can pull to your cause, y'know? You've got a whole galaxy's worth of heroic types that might just be the people you need.
no subject
My galaxy doesn't have many heroes right now, I'm afraid.
[ Though, if what Finn said is true, and it really is thirty-odd years later, the Empire defeated and gone... Maybe she's wrong about that. ]
In any case. If I'm able to go back, then I'll go right back to my work.
no subject
But they come out of the woodwork with time. Trust me.
[Of that, Newt's totally sure of; when there's a cause to be had, sometimes people are slow on the uptake, but... they will grow in numbers. Absolutely.]
I hope your work goes smoothly, though. I'll be rooting for you from another universe, at another time.

'In the final battle above Endor, when they were led by Generals Solo and Calrissian, Princess Organa, and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, they defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor.'
Even Lando had somehow made himself into a hero. Just like he always dreamed of.
Elthree is distant, lost in her thoughts for the briefest of moments, before she comes back to the present, and nods. ]
Thank you. Any organic support for the cause is appreciated.
