[ Before she hears Poe, she hears the tempered beeping of BB-8. It startles her somewhat, and she glances up and around to search him out. Her eyes fall on the droid before its owner, and she surges to her feet, moving right past Poe to stop in front of his droid. ]

BB-8! [ She crouches to look him over, a broad grin on her face. A look up at Poe begs excuse for her anticlimactic response and distraction by the droid. ]

[newgenwraith]

Looks like you have a fan already.

[the droid beeped up at him quizzically as he looked back and forth between them]

You'll have to excuse him. Landing on this planet fried his circuits a bit. He's got memory access issues. [and he's not the only one]

[forcevisions]

Yes, I heard.

[ It comes out dismissive at first, but only because she's wounded by the unfamiliarity. She balks, staring at BB-8. Poe not making any indication of recognition her hurts less—it was only a brief moment when they'd met after Starkiller Base. But BB-8 was a friend, responsible for her meeting Finn, getting off Jakku. He'd changed her life.

And now ... ]

I'm sorry. [ She looks up at Poe. ] I met your droid on Jakku. Finn and I returned him to the Resistance. [ she holds out her hand. ] I'm Rey.

[newgenwraith]

[there's a bit of confusion in Poe's eyes] He's not the only one with memory issues, I'm afraid. But it's good to know someone takes care of him. He tends to be a troublemaker.

[BB-8 would like to point out how many times he's saved Poe's ass]

Yeah yeah, I hear you. Hi Rey, I'm Poe.

[forcevisions]

I know. [ But she shakes her head. ] Not well. Don't worry. I think Finn would be more put-out than I would; we only met once, very briefly. What exactly do you remember?

[newgenwraith]

[he shrugged a bit, rubbing at the back of his neck] I can remember names of planets, how to work my ship, everything about BB-8... but ask me about my life and it's like a big blank.

[forcevisions]

[ She shakes her head, compassion softening her gaze. ]

I'm so sorry.

[newgenwraith]

Yeah, thanks. But I figure that it'll come back eventually. Or once I get my ship fixed I can send out a distress beacon and hopefully someone will find me.

[forcevisions]

A distress beacon ... [ Her perplexity doesn't immediately make sense, and she doesn't offer context but to blink, searching his words for sense. She comes up empty, only then realizing that his arrival must have made it unclear. Which leaves her to explain. ] Poe ... No one can come looking for us. The Veil didn't bring us to another system, it brought us to another world entirely.

[newgenwraith]

But this is how new worlds are discovered half the time. There has to be a way back. This can't just be it.

[forcevisions]

... I'm sorry. But I don't think there is. [ Which she doesn't say lightly, but she's had enough talks about the Veil to come to understand that since she got here. ]

[newgenwraith]

[he sighs, rubbing a hand over his face a moment before shrugging]

Well, maybe not, but who knows, maybe there is an it just hasn't been figured out yet.

[forcevisions]

I hope you're right. [ She thinks of Finn, lying unconscious in the medical bay. Her heart sinks at the thought of never making good on her promise that they'd see each other again. ] There's someone waiting for me, and I'd like to know if he's okay.

[newgenwraith]

My too. Maybe my memories will be waiting for me on the other side of the Veil. [let him have his hopes, Rey]

[forcevisions]

Even if we can't get back, we might yet be able to bring them back somehow. We can hope, at the very least.

[newgenwraith]

Hope is a good thing.
