AWAKEN

FIRST MISSION for Amara since Crait. It was a lot to mentally prepare for. Amara had been under the impression her mom wasn't going to be sending her out on mission, considering her vision she had only weeks ago. However, Leia claims they are down in support until they receive new recruits in the coming days. The mission is a three person mission, well three person plus a droid. Finn, Poe, and Amara were given the mission whereas Rey was to remain on Yavin 4 to continue her training.

Leia hands Poe a datapad while the three of them were being briefed on their mission inside the command center.

"This is a simple aiding mission," Leia says, "The people of Lothal are asking for help with First Order activity."

Poe looks up at Leia, "Lothal?" He spoke, "I haven't heard of the First Order staking out there."

Leia glanced at Poe, "This came from a reliable source." She says, "The news came from Fulcrum."

Amara looks at her mother a bit confused, "Fulcrum?" She tilts her head.

Finn looks at Amara and then to Leia, "Who is Fulcrum?"

Amara glanced at Finn, "Fulcrum is a code name. It was a title used during the time of the Rebellion back in the day." Amara says, "I had only known of three people who bare the name Fulcrum."

Leia nods, "As did I," Leia says, "But this chain code they've sent were old codes from our second Fulcrum."

Amara was handed the datapad by Poe.

Poe seemed to be interested in this. He loved hearing stories of the old Alliance and the war that his parents took part in. He loves hearing about the days Leia, Han, and Luke stood toe to toe with the Empire.

Amara frowns, "Alexsandr Kallus?" She asks, "Didn't he end up on the planet Lira San? How would someone randomly have access to his codes?"

Poe glanced from Amara and then to Leia, "It might be a trap, General."

Leia shakes her head, "I don't think so." She looks at her daughter, "It's possible he returned to Lothal."

Amara nods and looks at the datapad, "Maybe."

Amara pondered over it and then handed the datapad back to Poe. Poe looked down at the chain code. He had heard some stories over the name of Fulcrum, but never personally met anyone who wore that title.

"When do we leave, General?" Poe asks.

Leia looks at him, "As soon as you can." She says.

The three nod. Then they headed out to go to their tents and back. They were taking the Falcon, seeing as the only other ships to take were X-Wings and neither Amara nor Finn would pilot an X-Wing. Amara knew, chances are that Chewie would end up on the mission. Chewie had been way protective of Amara as of late, and she wasn't sure if her recent vision made things worst for the Wookiee.

{RISE OF SKYWALKER}

HYPERSPACE ALWAYS takes forever. Poe and Chewie were in the cockpits, piloting the Falcon. Yeah, Chewie managed to convince Leia to send him with. And yet, Leia couldn't argue with the oaf.

Chewie turns to Poe and growls.

"Hey, this isn't my first ship I've piloted." Poe says to the Wookiee.

Chewie growls at him again.

Chewie was possessive of the Falcon. Even on the mission to get Black Squadron, Chewie was just barking orders at Poe to not hit certain buttons. Poe got it, this was his ship as much as it was Han's ship. But it didn't mean Poe couldn't pilot the rust bucket. A knock got their attentions. It was Amara by the cockpit door. She had a small smile on her face. Both Chewie and Poe turned in their seats to face the young Solo.
