The attacks had obviously been well coordinated. Every single one of the Porters were hit, at exactly the same time. The Government housing in both Nonah and Heropa had been hit as well - the bomb levelling what until then had been Finn and Poe's home.
Poe had been scrambled for active duty the second the first bomb had gone off, at Heropa's porter. It was pure luck that he happened to drag Finn and Beth out of the house and down to the muster station before the bomb had gone off in the housing.
After that, Poe had simply refused to be parted from them. Beth had been a problem - they were pulling Poe to an aircraft carrier and she was very much a civilian - so he'd been talked down and she had been taken somewhere safe. But Poe had argued very effectively for Finn to stay. He was a soldier. They were veterans together.
In the end, Command had allowed it simply to appease Poe and keep him in the air.
But the missions were going south. His first one had already been dangerous - he and two others had been the only ones to return from the squadron alive. The Russians had launched a full scale offensive, in the aftermath, and they had been running skirmishes non-stop around the clock.
So when Poe came back from the second one - having lost his plane, this time, and survived the crash - he did not have a particularly hopeful outlook.
He'd keep fighting. Until the very last.
But he was also pretty damn sure this was the very last.
So as soon as he was debriefed he was heading straight for the tiny two-bunk cabin that he and Finn had shared since being on this ship.
