Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: this evening

[The communication device appeared simple enough for his purposes. It took him a moment or two to determine how it functioned. It was rather primitive, really.

His appearance was composed, his expression almost completely neutral when he switched on the transmission. He would present the appearance of strength despite the situation he found himself in.]

This is General Hux. Members of the First Order identify yourselves to me immediately.

[Straight to business. There was going to be no small talk.]

I seek answers as to where I am and why I was brought here. I assume there is some purpose to this.

[And with that the feed is cut. He is going to be exploring around Marsiva to find out where exactly he is.]

Video (very much a broadcast to EVERYONE)

[Okay, you? Don't scare him.]

This is Commander Poe Dameron of the Resistance. You're alone here, Hux. It's all Jedi, Rebel Alliance Fighters, Resistance, and and legends of the Old Republic.

[Smile.]

So go ahead and try to make trouble. Let everyone see you and your First Order for what you are: Thugs, bullies, and war criminals.

Ancient relics of a bygone age and the remains of a corrupt, weak, government which I put out of its misery. Now that is truly impressive.

[Flat tone, a raised eyebrow.

Hux took in the information thoughtfully though. He wondered who else happened to be here. Being alone would be an interesting situation to say the least though.

The Resistance would have to do better than this though.]

You should be grateful they did not see what the Republic had became. We simply do what is necessary.

Save the propaganda for someone who cares. I know the people here. You're not going to get any sympathy for having murdered entire planets full of civilians no matter how much you pretend it was for their own good.

Video

[therewillbeorder]

I don't look for sympathy. There will always be those who cling to the past and to foolish ideals.

The Republic has been swept away once and for all.

Video

[helluva_pilot]

Not while the Resistance lives.

You missed.

Video

[therewillbeorder]

We will see how long the Resistance manages to survive.

There's too many stars in the galaxy for you to put 'em all out no matter how many weapons of mass destruction you make. There will always be light.

As for here, keep your nose clean and I'll be happy to leave you alone. [Actually not, but dad General Kenobi told him to.]

Video

[therewillbeorder]

Such a generous proposal.

[There is a quirk to his lips but he nods eventually.]

Then I will expect the same from you.

[See he can play nice. For now.]

[helluva_pilot]

[Hah.] Spoken like a guy who doesn't get it.

[And it's not his problem to explain it to you, Hux. He cuts the comm.]

[resnipstance]

Commander.

You know this guy?

[helluva_pilot]

He's the general in charge of the First Order troops. Blew up the entire Hosnian System with a weapon called Starkiller because he wanted to destroy the New Republic government and didn't care how many civilians died in the process.

You could say I know him by reputation. And by blowing up said base under him.

[resnipstance]

He-- what?

[Ahsoka's clearly appalled beyond words.]

[helluva_pilot]

He'll probably make a lot of big noises about restoring order to the galaxy. That's what he means. An entire system of planets just wiped away, and the damage is justified because they stood against the First Order.

It's sick. [And Poe is so very, very angry about it.]

[resnipstance]

An entire system... all those billions of lives... that's horrific!

How is a weapon like that even allowed to exist?

[helluva_pilot]

We didn't know about it until it got used. There's still a lot of territory in the galaxy that the First Order controls and we don't have reliable intelligence. Once we knew it was there, we got in and destroyed it before they could use it again. Thanks to Finn.

[resnipstance]

[With feeling:] Good.

I can't believe it... if it's not one thing, it's another, isn't it? Is there ever going to be peace again?

[helluva_pilot]

I don't know. We're trying. But as long as there's this belief that difference and non-violent dissent have to be eliminated... and I don't know where that came from. But it's wrong.

[resnipstance]

Of course it's wrong!

I guess I just thought... maybe after the Empire was defeated, everything would go back to the way it was before... but maybe that was too naive.

[helluva_pilot]

I think the problem is... they thought with the Emperor and Vader gone, the Empire would just fall apart. But there were other people who believed the same crap that were ready to step in and take their place. And then the New Republic government didn't go after them, because they wanted to believe it wasn't a threat. So the Empire really never went away, it just gave itself a new paint job.

[resnipstance]

Ugh. Gross.

Don't worry, Poe. I won't let this scumbag near you or Finn. Or anyone else, if I can help it.

[helluva_pilot]

Thanks, Ahsoka. I feel better with more of us keeping an eye on him.

Hux doesn't scare me. He stands at the back line. Didn't even have the spine to be around when they were interrogating me.

[Now Kylo Ren? That's another story. If that guy ever shows up, Poe is grabbing Finn and running like hell.]

[resnipstance]

All bark and no bite, huh?

I know the type.

[helluva_pilot]

Yeah. I don't know if he even knows what end of the blaster to hold. Don't really care either as long as he stays the hell away from Finn.

[He smiles wryly.] Bet we both do.

[resnipstance]

Yeah? I bet you could tell me some stories.

[Actually...]

... On second thought, you better not. I feel like I've already heard too much about the future.

[helluva_pilot]

Must feel weird.

But I think if you can change it at all... well, I'm hoping you can. I'd rather see the war end.
