I don't disagree with that. [ he snorts, but also ... why would you do that when you could be a giant drama queen and lead a mutiny??? jk, that was mostly for distraction's sake. not that he wasn't feelin' it, tho ... okay, maybe it was 90/10. but you know what, that's another story for another time. maybe in like ten minutes or something. now we're just going to focus on the one story. maybe finn doesn't want it, but poe talked to himself in the desert for five million years, look at him go with a captive audience.]
My squadron kept running into First Order ships when we were patrolling. I lost a member of my squadron to a First Order freighter, and the Republic still wouldn't take them seriously as a threat. I got a direct command not to provoke the First Order. They actually threatened me with charges if I went after the freighter that got my teammate. But, I can't ... I can't just ignore something like that. [he shakes his head.] It's not right.
So I didn't. I took my squadron out on patrol where we just happened to run into the freighter ... and followed it right into a staging point. [he actually laughs a little at the memory — a small chuckle — because there's enough distance now for him to appreciate how ludicrous his life is.] We barely got out, and I was gonna be served with a court martial. General Organa ended up recruiting me for the Resistance, so I decided to go where people actually cared about what's happening to the galaxy. Resigned before they could discharge me, basically. It wasn't looking good.
