[ Jack doesn't really begrudge Jyn the question, or the awkward way in which she asks it. Of course she would know about what had gone down with Johann, at least in vague terms, if she was Daisy's roommate.
If anything, he's grateful that Daisy hadn't outright told her. ]
jyn fiddles with the implant, holding it thisclosetoherfuckingface to inspect it like she knows the engineering behind it. she only knows a little. the basic basics.
distractedly, ] Can't believe these are in our heads. Gross.
[ Jack had also spent some time inspecting the implants when he first got his hands on them. Not that just staring at it could tell you much, but after all the trouble he'd gone to in order to get it, he'd still been curious. These UNA models don't look that different from the civilian ones, at least not in a way he can wrap his head around.
At Jyn's comment, he lets out a wry huff of a laugh. ]
To put it lightly. At least I agreed to the surgery the second time around, even if it wasn't the best choice I've ever made.
[ There's a pause, and then his eyes flick from the implant up to Jyn's face. ]
No. Thought about it, but there's nothing he could give me.
[ she had no powers to get back, cassius couldn't bring people in or tell her what she wanted to know from her own galaxy. maybe they could have learned something about cassian's back, but he didn't want to deal with cassius so it was a moot point. ]
Stole my own house, stole my promotion from a dead guy, which I guess was thanks to Cassius. [ she'll give him credit for the death. ] Got enough food for ages and if it comes down to it I'll eat Illya. Couldn't think of anything I wanted.
[ Everyone wants something, Jack imagines, but he also happens to know that Jyn can't really go home. She'd implied as much during their first conversation, although he hadn't pushed her for details. Either way, he's not about to judge. ]
I wasn't planning to make one either, but there was no way I was getting away from the UNA base clean with these unless I did, so... it was a snap decision.
[ He'd been blind for a while post-surgery for his troubles, but at least Johann had been telling the truth when he said it would be temporary. Jack sighs and shrugs. ]
Anyway... I guess we'll see if it was the right call.
[ Assuming Jyn or any of her roommates can crack the code. ]
I hadn't thought to make Cassius useful until after.
[ but she can relate to snap decisions, that's pretty much her entire life. using cassius to get information or facilitate an escape with stolen implants would have been a good idea, had she thought of it then. she was too distracted in new beijing anyway.
she sets the implant down. ]
I think I need a brain to shove it in to get it going, but I'll figure out whatever is on this. [ once she can find a brain... ]
[ A brain to shove it in? Both of Jack's eyebrows shoot up at the implication, especially when she says it so casually. ]
How're you gonna manage that?
[ The whole point is that brain surgery really hadn't been the best idea after all (who would've thought?), so he's not sure what Jyn might have in mind here. ]
I... [ she makes a very childish face lest he forget she is a YOUTH ] I don't know yet.
[ the face turns into a small, lopsided smile as she glances at him. ] Don't worry, I don't have any intention of becoming a neurosurgeon. I'll figure something out.
[ she'll have to do a lot of googling. ]
Cassian might know a way, he's made friends at Riverstone. They do cybernetics, same but different.
[ That doesn't sound like much of a plan at all, and Jack doesn't make much of an effort to hide his skepticism about this either. Still, a deal's a deal and they'll have better idea of what to do with the implant than he did, so he'll leave it alone.
Having connections with one of the large corporations is nothing to sneeze at, after all. ]
If you say so. [ He leans back in the stool and then slow eases up and off of it. ] I'll leave you to it, then. [ Suffice to say he's not one to overstay his welcome. ]
[ and cassian is so irritatingly knowledgeable, she knows the second she opens her mouth he will have five options at her disposal and probably a contact at each of those five options because he's very annoying good.
it's meant to be reassuring but jyn is honestly only good with children so. ]
