[Video] Arrival
[Was that a mask? The visual shows what appears to be some sort of skeletal alien mask and the voice that accompanies it sounds oddly mechanical. Some here may recognize the cyborg General, even if just from historical records. While arriving as human, he'd quickly discovered his powers of transformation from the files he was given then after some brief experimenting he settled on the one he'd last been most familiar with. At least for now.]
Citizens. Heroes.
[The emphasized word seems to catch in his throat and there's a brief cough before he continues with an underlying growl to his tone.]
This is an unfortunate development. I was interrupted in the midst of a critical battle. I do not have time to deal with your little world's problems.
[The words are interrupted again by more coughing then an annoyed growl before the video cuts out abruptly.]

[He could respect that. Before having to deal with ineffectual droids, he'd led his own special groups of warriors against bad odds and they all had to play their part. If he knew the extent of all of Palpatine's manipulations, he'd have no great love for the Empire either so would be pleased by Cassian's efforts against them.]

they went from cheering to discomfort as reports of his viciousness grew—weren't they supposed to be better than…?
—and the CIS at large—
It was tempting to spare you. But impossible. Yes. The inescapable and near-unanimous conclusion of both sides is that the Separatist movement backfired by speeding if not directly facilitating the rise of the Empire.
—is…
Powerful.
Even for someone as hardened as Cassian.
Perhaps if it were anything but Rogue One he'd keep more cool. But…
He swallows. Visibly… moved.]
Thank you, General.
[…
But.
No good to undo any of the points he's scored by showing softness.
Squaring his jaw and his shoulders, Cassian got back to business.]
How may I further assist in your transition, sir?
[Video]
[He did appreciate the strength and Cassian being professional. It would only make him respect the man more.]
[Video]
Sir.
[…it's so tempting to try… something. Maximize the impossible odds of… well… recruiting, really—of Grievous to the new cause.
Of life. Of peace.
But if it were remotely possible… it would take something beyond Cassian's ability. Any attempt on a mind like Grievous's would more likely…
like the movement
…backfire.
All he could hope for meanwhile was to stay on Grievous's side and hope that didn't become a contradiction. Have a better chance of minimizing it if it did.]
