Who: Hux
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.]

[He dreams big. Not many can boast of destroying multiple planets at the age of 34.]

With the forces I command, yes.

[Oh...Maedhros....why did you have to ask.]

The current government was weak and corrupt, unable to govern over much of the galaxy efficiently. As a result many star systems where neglected and left to fall into ruin.

Much of the galaxy is now chaotic, plagued by terrorists who were allowed to go unpunished.

That will no longer be tolerated.

(He gives his head a shake. Alright, he needs to think of this in...smaller terms.)

The galaxy is...akin to a kingdom? (A kingdom that needs protection and governance.) And you are a General - leading knights into battle?

Who is your King?

The galaxy is made of various star systems with several planets in each one and each system and planet will have their own local leaders. Once each planet would send a representative to the Senate before it was disbanded once and for all.

The galaxy is an Empire now [None of this Republic nonsense. That's gone and done with.] with a supreme leader over the systems.

I command the army, yes though my troops are referred to as stormtroopers.

[He doesn't like the term knight.]

I...see. (Numerous kingdoms trying to operate as one.) The individual planets do not have a voice? How do you expect to keep the peace if you do not know their concerns and needs?

(There is a sour taste in his mouth.)

You mean a dictator.

There are methods of keeping the peace when necessary.

[Star Destroyers and superweapons are pretty efficient.

He looks slightly offended by that word- it just has such negative connotations.]

Not quite.

Methods? I do not like vague words.

(They can hide evil deeds.)

Too close.

I see no reason to share such information to someone outside of the First Order.

[Nice try, Maedhros. Hux is not going to reveal the other weapons the First Order had in store. There would a time when he would be proud to show it off though.]

Only to one who does not understand.

I understand well. (But he has no reason to press the point.) You are one who lusts for power and control. In time, you will understand that others cannot and will not be controlled indefinitely.

[Maedhros isn't wrong and he's not going to protest the fact that he's out for power and control.]

Perhaps that was once the case but no longer.

That will always be the case. (His expression is...somewhat empathetic. Oh Hux.)

I ensured and watched with my own eyes the end to the resistance.

[And it was a beautiful sight.]

The end of one resistance. As long as there are people, there will be those who oppose you.

(Hux, baby, try sanity. It feels good.)

[He feels perfectly sane thank you very much.]

You do not know the strength of the First Order.

I do not need to. They will rebel in their hearts and minds if nowhere else.

As long as order and law is brought to the galaxy then it doesn't matter if that is the only place where rebellion festers.

It begins there. It will spread, like a plague, and undo your every action. If that does not lead you into madness or claim your life, you will be left at the beginning.

We have already began the progress, there will be no stopping it now despite any resistance. [Not that he would ever want to stop anything.]

I am aware I risk my life but I do so willingly.

Your life does not concern me.

It is your sanity that you may lose. (And he knows what true madness feels like.)

It will be a small price to pay in order to further the First Order's directive in the galaxy.

[He's given up a great deal already. Sleep, personal luxuries save for one, freedoms he would have had if he hadn't devoted himself completely to the First Order.

He's learned that while he pays a very important role and intends to wield great power, he believes wholeheartedly in what he does.]

Your loyalty is admirable. (He understands it.) I am far too like you.

(Even after it all.)

My loyalty was - is - to my father and brothers.

[So Maedhros understands then. He gave a nod.]

Then you understand that such loyalty always comes at a price.

A high price. I have paid it and I pay it still.

Please, Hux, take this time to reconsider. I believe you deserve better.

I do deserve better and I will achieve it.

[There is a fierce determination in his voice now. He's committed to this course, it was the course his father had set him on and he knows nothing else.]

Our ideas on what is "better" differ, I believe. (But that isn't shocking.) Consider me a friend, then, if nothing else. I am an old Elf and I will not reveal your secrets to anyone.

I have no intention of divulging secrets to you.

[Maedhros makes him wary, on many levels.]
