[This is the Inbox of one Ahsoka Tano. She screens her calls, so if a number is unknown to her she will not answer. Leave a message and she will return the call.]
[She has a second device, encrypted and secured. Simply listed as FULCRUM. If the Fulcrum Logo appears, she is on this device, not connected to Ahsoka at all.]

[text | encryption leads here | un: fulcrum]
[text]
After all, the countersign and its accompanying subtle change in code seem like clear invitation]
its been a while since meeting another
especially welcome in current climate
which sign is yours?
[text]
i'll be honest, this is a first for me
mine was simply: by the suns of tatooine
[Simple and now well known. There are others to come but at this point, it was what she knew.]
[text]
[If text could be breathless…]
then you're Prime
[The first Fulcrum agent, the one who created the post.
Even as Fulcrum himself, Fulcrum Prime's identity had been kept classified. Cassian didn't think even Draven knew. Mon Mothma did, and from Bail Organa's reactions to Cassian as Fulcrum, it had been hard not to suspect that he might as well.
Like every agent, Cassian'd developed theories on who it might have been; his maybe more idle than most. He'd never allowed as much of his energies toward things that wouldn't serve a function and he couldn't affect.]
if youre willing
i've always wondered who you
wereareif not - no less of an honor to meet you
[ooc: had a hard time finding info re: whether her identity would have been known! I saw she had a moment where she decided to drop the 'Ashla' pseudonym and reclaim her old name but…? I decided to err on the side of: Mon Mothma and Bail protecting her identity due to Jedi persecution. If you think Cassian would know who she was, I'll happily change it!]
[text]
[Luke did mention the Death of his planet, and Bail along with it. She wondered if things changed hands then or before.]
[It didn't matter. Another Fulcrum means that even if she fell, there was still intelligence out there to help the rebellion.]
You'll have to forgive me for not knowing about you, but the last I heard, I was the only one going by such a code name.
Which makes me curious about you as well.
Name a place and time and I would be willing to meet with you in person.
[She might go as human as possible, and keep an eye out first, but he had got her interested. Meeting in person would be an easier way to gauge his honesty in this matter too.]
[ooc: This works fine for me! There isn't a lot of info out there at all really. Fulcrum 2 doesn't show up until after Ahsoka falls in Rebels, so I assume it's passed on a bit like Dread Pirate Roberts is, to help keep the name infamous sorta thing haha. Also, I am perfectly fine with the two of them having interacted briefly before. Or been at the same base at the same time. Even if he had no idea it was Falcrum, he might recognize her as the Togruta that worked for Bail or something~ As for Ashla/Ahsoka names, she did drop Ashla after the events of the book, but I say she uses it here as her name for her Human form (Game power change :D ).]

I run a dojo in Maurtia Falls
Full details attached
[Sends her, among other info, his teaching schedule. Offsetting any tactical advantage to himself by offering her choice of whether to come at a time when it's empty or full of other people; to engage with him immediately or first surveille.
And leaving her the option of identifying herself to him on site, while—]
Ask for Cassian
—though not from the neighbors. They never remember our names
[they still called Cassian, Jyn, and Kaytu: "Andy", "Joan", and "Robocop"]
[text]
It is an excellent choice of location.
[She does pick a time. One where his class will already have begun but near the end of it. So she could one, scope him out, yes, but also be sure he was free after it was over. She leaves a note of the time and nothing else.]
[She will show up to a morning class. Want to play here or log it?]
[text]
[Multiple miracles in that statement]
I've seen Kanan but failed to approach him
He usually meditates - I didn't want to interrupt
I may after seeing his responses to the General
I want to thank him for them
Thank you - I'll see you then
[OOC: Could we backtag on the log I linked above? Seems made for it! :-) I'm happy to do setup unless you'd like to start us off]
[text]
Kanan is a good man as well.
But please be careful around the General. He has a history.
Perhaps we can talk more about it when we meet, if you like.
I will see you then.
[text]
our histories are linked
and i dont near nearly enough about them
see you then

a call placed to ahsoka's place of employment;
no subject
Inkredible Tattoo Parlor, this is Ashla speaking! [The phone had been twice as busy today since Cid ran his advertisements recently. A new artist, a new skill set, and some experimental UV colors were all the rage lately. Her voice sounded friendly at least, as if she were smiling as she spoke.] How might I help you?
no subject
what is she, fucking eighty. Anyway. )
With a tattoo, hopefully. I'm currently calling around a few places I've had recommended to me—I'm looking for somewhere that's worked with ImPorts previously. Preferably an artist who has some experience tattooing nonhumans.
no subject
[And no, not eighty, just overly polite sometimes. Cid cracked on her for it too. Ahsoka actually likes the Tattoo parlor though, as the atmosphere was comfortable, casual. ]
Well, you've called the right place. We've got a couple of artists here who have worked on imPorts before. I'm actually an imPort myself. I'd recommend Cid Vargas if you're looking for previous work on imPorts, though... can I ask what kind of nonhuman biology we're talking about here?
[It's not unheard of, that question, and it pleases her more when ever someone mentions it. Makes her feel better about being alien herself.]
no subject
Experience would be ideal, but I'm not really expecting ideal, frankly. The biology is faerie. So, magical. In nature. Water-based.
voice; private;
...What are we gonna do about this?
voice; private;
I am curious about the two new ones however. They... sound different?
voice; private;
voice; private;
voice; private;
voice; private;
[She let out a held breath pushed through her lips. Damn...] This is either going to go really bad or really very bad, isn't it?
voice; private;
Even if they don't want to take over this world, they certainly can't have anything good in mind for it.
voice; private;
And what if they are willing to sit their differences aside? Times then and now are different, yes? We can't go into this aggressively. I'm not saying we don't keep an eye on them or be careful, but maybe we should at least take a step back and see what they do?
[and with a single beat, she adds more swiftly.] Unless they start getting friendly with Dooku.
voice; private;
But yeah. We have to be vigilant. As vigilant as we are with Dooku. I just - should we be warning people? Or would that just... backfire on us?
voice; private;
As for... warning? [she hummed again, thoughtful.] I have the feeling it would backfire, as much as I hate to say it. It could be taken as the Jedi, or the rest of us, being abrasive or confrontational. Even if truthful.
Both of them have said they do not wish their war to be brought here. They have made contact with the network in a calm way. If either of us go out of our way to 'warn' about their kind, we'll come off as picking a fight.
voice; private;
[ Maybe, just maybe, he's hoping to prevent something like what almost happened to Ezra, once. ]
voice; private;
I understand your problems with Anakin here, but using him as an example, he's trying to be different here than what he becomes. What if the two of these beings are interested in the same thing?
On the other hand, to trust them blindly could put someone in danger. [ It was said more in a whisper to herself. A frustrated little breath was released before she finalized thought her own talking through this.]
Perhaps we would be best to contact those that are close to us. Make sure the word is out to be cautious. Meanwhile, I would like to try and talk to them in person.
voice; private;
These two... they're already down that path. I don't get any sense that they regret that path. They might try to bring others down it with them.
[ Yeah, he's wishing Obi-Wan was still here, too. Or his own Master, Depa Billaba. Or... anyone. Anyone wiser and smarter and more experienced with this kind of thing. ]
But you're probably right. We should stick with the people we know - the people who will trust what we say. Try to get the word out quietly. I'm most worried for the people who aren't from our galaxy, who haven't grown up hearing stories about this stuff. Who don't have a frame of reference.
voice; private;
I'm not getting a sense of regret for their path either. I'm more concerned about Count Dooku influencing them more than anything.
[she let out a breath again, considering it.] Anakin is still a Jedi and was just as brilliant as Master Kenobi. I might check with him to see what his thoughts are on this. Though, between you and me, I am also concerned with how he is going to deal with their presence.
There is so much we don't know about them or their time, and no way to get that information.
voice; private;
[ They're nearly outnumbered, now, if not actually so. It's enough to give Kanan a constant, low-key headache. ]
And I don't trust these guys to be truthful - or rather, their perspective on the things they do might be honest, but I wouldn't count on it to be accurate.
voice; private;
[Honestly, there is a lot here lately to give her a headache, period. She get's ya, bro.]
It might be honest, but with the idea that they might be so far removed from our own timeline, we have no idea how different they might act from the rest of us.
voice; private;
voice; private;
I'll meet you at NeoJedha a bit later? We can hash out a bit more then, perhaps.
voice; private;
[ No one will ever be able to convince Kanan otherwise. ]
But yeah, I'll be there all afternoon.
voice; private;
[BUT SHE GOT SOME QUESTIONS. I mean, kirf This sucks...]
I might be in early today than. I could use some grounding this afternoon, I think.
