A rather poor collection of flimsy taped together lie upon the unused desk of one Rebel pilot.
Scratches and bad handwriting make up most of what seems like human scrawl, though half is illegible anyway. Why can't this man use a holo like normal people?
Mostly because he either doesn't have the time nor patience too. Besides, whenever a holo turns on he can't keep himself serious enough to do anything of any value anyway.
If you chance upon one of these sheets of flimsy, you might actually see the much debated serious side of Wes Janson (which is basically on urban legend status, it is so rarely seen).

Prompt Week of June 22
The recent destruction of Ord Mantell has had a vast impact on many of the characters here. Even if not directly affected, every character will in some way be touched by the planet's destruction. How have the recent events taken an affect on your character?
Wes was slightly involved in the evacuation of Ord Mantell, he was helping to protect the transports which were leaving. He knew his friends were down there, Wedge and Luke, and was getting increasingly worried as they were the very last to leave. Once the Death Star appeared in his sights, he felt something sharp catch in his chest as already the adrenaline reached past its max. He felt just a little selfish as the first thoughts he had were of Luke and Wedge on the planet, rather than the millions (or billions?) of people who actually lived there. Despite the Rebel's efforts to grab as many as they could, he knew it would be a planetcide. An entire planet, just gone. It was devastating in the fact that that power existed, to destroy a planet. And now, to see it right in front of you? Just this side of terrifying. Of course he'd never admit that to anyone, but it was there. Not like he was the only one feeling the exact same thing. That's what the thing was built for, to inspire terror. Unfortunately it worked rather well at that aspect.
Still, he did have a quiet moment after he jumped to hyperspace just as the planet went kaboom. He knew it'd probably be worse for Luke, he heard of what happened in the Force when stuff like that went down, and didn't envy him.
He wasn't particularly a pessimistic man though he was cynical when the occasion called for it, and right now he was really feeling that very much. This war was dragging on and on and now another devastating loss. When would they ever get a break? They were the good guys, and it was a kick to rebel against 'the man', but some days, it felt like a losing battle. This was one of those days. It made him mad. Seriously angry. Whenever he felt this side of despair, he always felt like doing something about it. Anything. A battle would be really welcome right now, shooting down TIES would help a whooole lot. He felt like his righteous anger could have taken on the Death Star itself. 'Course he'd last as long as a womp rat in a sarlaac pit, but still.
This only added to the list of grievances that the Empire would pay for. And pay they would.
