"What are you reading so intently?"
Former storm trooper Finn glanced up from his bed in the infirmary at the familiar voice. He smiled at the rebel pilot leaning against the doorframe.
"Alliance history."Finn replied with a smile holding up the small data padd.
"That bored are we?"Poe commented with a wide smile as he walked in and sat in the visitor's chair.
"No."Finn said shaking his head. "Some things I was curious about. Growing up in the Empire we'd heard of the first Death Star. Of the rebel theft of the plans on Scarif."
"Battle of Scarif is things of legend."Poe stated solemnly. "Ignoring the council, stealing an impounded imperial ship heading off onto what was most likely a suicide mission. What was the captain's name?"
"Andor."Finn supplied pulling up a picture on the padd and showing it to Poe. "Cassian Andor had quite a record in the alliance before Scarif. Stuff that sounds made up but it's in the official log."
"When we get a chance I should take you to the memorial on Yavin."Poe suggested as he glanced at the picture of Andor. "There's a nice well nice is the wrong word but you know what I mean. There's a statue of a rebel pilot and an all too long white marble wall behind it with the names of people who have died in the service of the alliance."
"You were almost on that wall."Finn said grimly as he leaned back against the pillow.
"Yeah don't remind me."Poe grimaced as he took the discarded padd from his friend and scrolled.
"Heard anything from Rey?"Finn asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Training not much time to talk."Poe replied absently. "Sounds like she's exhausted."
"Think Skywalker will let us visit?"Finn asked hopefully.
"Doubt it. I think no distractions are in the Jedi training rule book."Poe quipped then frowned at what he was reading.
"What?"Finn prompted with concern.
"I pulled up the list of names on the Yavin wall."Poe explained brow furrowed. "Andor's on it but some of the others aren't because they weren't official members of the Alliance. Jyn Erso's not on it always thought she was."
"She's not?"Finn echoed. "Can we fix that?"
"Going to try."Poe said as he stood. "I think Andor would haunt us if we didn't."
"Let me know if I can help."Finn responded grimly.
Poe nodded as he tossed the padd back to his friend.
"Gotta go have a briefing. I'll stop by later."Poe said as he left. "I'll try to talk to some higher ups see who we contact on Yavin."
Finn watched his friend leave and then went back to his reading. Hoping they could make things right. The brave souls of Rogue One deserved to be remembered.
