[It's funny, no one's ever really shown much interest in Rey's past selves. Maybe it wasn't for a lack of interest and more that she didn't want to talk about it, but... They were part of Rey at some point. She can't deny that they ever existed, or that they left an impact on her in any way. That would be a lie.]
You know Safronov, and Silva, sort of -- the Argentinian. Schuyler, she was enlisted with the Royal Netherlands Army. Steyn was a South African soldier. Sarfati was in the Iranian Army most of her life. Sheridan was with the United Forces of Ireland. Schmidt, a German operative; probably worse than Safronov, really, and also lived the longest. Then there was Stone, a USMC, back when there was a "United States".
[All those bombshells dropped, the one thing Rey thinks to add is:] Didn't always look like this, by the way. Gregory would tend to... altered my appearance, to better blend in. But he got lazy sometimes.
[Like how people recognized Rey as Stone, Sarfati, and Safronov... All things considered, this body is Safronov's, so.
[She falls in quiet thought that it takes her a moment to figure out what Atem is referring to. She blinks at the inscription on the dogtags.]
Oh. That would be the name, soldier ID -- usually one's birthdate -- hometown and blood type. The latter two are fabricated, obviously.
