[ Rex looks between the two of them, gaze softening a little. It's a dangerous thing, finding allies like this. Being alone is the only way he's managed to survive up until this point, but Rex has always been a weaker man than he cares to admit. ]
Yeah, [ he says, looking Andy's way, his low voice little more than a quiet rumble. ] Can't say it was what I was expecting.
[ But then Poe brings it back to business and the nasty business of what happens next. He'd spent all of his time and nearly all of his resources to get to this very moment. Oh, he'd had an idea about where to go from here, but nothing fixed, not really. All he's got on his side is an ever-present drive to survive, powered more through spite than anything else. Some days, he feels like he's just staying alive because it pisses the Empire off.
In fairness, that's a very, very good reason to stay alive. ]
I'll survive. I've survived up to this point, haven't I? And if they catch me, let them catch me. They won't be getting into my head, [ he says with a defiant tilt of his head, pride sparking behind his eyes. ] If more people than myself can pass along the intel, all the better. As long as the knowledge is in others' hands, it won't die.
[ The idea of the true knowledge of what's been done to them being passed along sparks something else in him. It's a little like hope. ]
That's more important than what will happen to me anyway, [ he says crisply, mind evidently made up. ] If I don't survive the procedure, the chip's all yours.
