Definitely not trying to make light of the conversation in that Guardians thread, for what it's worth. The last time I mentioned any vaguely progressive (lol) feels re: women and rape culture the thread exploded, so I'm a bit hesitant now!
Since finishing this first RP is taking forever, do you care if I do a "time jump" and have Bastele arrive at the Rebels? We can continue RPing our threads as the past, but this way my character won't be stuck. I figure that after destroying the station as we planned for the second thread, Bastele and Whisper could get separated, each thinks the other is dead, and they arrive at the Rebellion separately.
That works. Since Tyvokka isn't around, I think that's a fair way to move forward since it doesn't really do anything than knock him out for a few minutes.
Maybe Whisper covers Bastele, who will try to go for computer access or something? If they're trying to get anything out of it, he's the one most likely to do it since he was Commander in Chief.
