It's a lot of work for two people. But Riverstone and Morningstar have been helping.
With how well things went the last time I suggested collaborating with Riverstone, I figured I'd do better staying here and keeping my head down, out of the mess, and just doing what needs to be done.
Sometimes it's better the devil you know, and all. For what it's worth, I think the work you've done with Riverstone is important.

Ah, can't complain. New folks are back from their jaunt, and Jason convinced Jimmy to open up communications with a few of us. We ain't seen the fruit of that yet, but given the chaotic state of the world lately that don't surprise me much.
Jason asked me to be one of the folks in communication with him. Don't suppose you have any questions you'd like me to ask?
I was hoping he'd know what happens to the Displaced that disappear.
[ that was the whole reason she'd gotten tied up in this whole riverstone testing affair trying to find whoever had been dropping them off. she'd been looking for that answer since finn and poe vanished. it stings a little, to realize that getting that name from riverstone hadn't gotten her any closer to it, but the important thing is that communication is there now. ]

Been a minute, Rey. How are you holding up with all this?
（ he didn't know her in the aerie, so it honestly feels like a lifetime since last they spoke, but it's nice to hear from her just the same. ）

I'm more worried about you. I know how it feels to be in the thick of all that.

But I reckon there were a few other folks worse-off than me in that regard. None of it was any worse than a good day in the Army, for me.
