driftfleet | Dramatic Entry

Who: Kylo Ren and... OTA
Broadcast: entire fleet
Action: Marsiva
When: today

Video Broadcast:

The cameras were undoubtedly broadcasting this dramatic arrival to the galaxy. In addition to the open network feed aboard the Marsiva, Kylo's personal communicator got switched on - offering a Blair Witch-style view of a ratings-boosting scuffle.

He was supposed to wake up on the hospitality deck. But Force have mercy, Kylo came to while the robotic assistants were patching up the injuries he sustained on Starkiller Base. Of course, that's when the fight began. Sparks flew. Weapons were improvised. Panicked screams of "what have you done to me?" echoed in the medbay. There was so much going on that words were hard to make out, but some likely heard "I will not be captured by the Resistance!" or "Give me back my lightsaber!" That alone was enough context for some to know exactly who had just arrived in the fleet.

Eventually, though, the robots won. Kylo Ren was sedated again. His injuries were repaired as quickly as possible (they would scar), and he was left to wake up - not in a comfortable bunk, but on the floor of a locked and heavily-barricaded supply closet.

Action:

If anyone is interested in wandering by in person, the closet has a window to the hallway. Be prepared to be greeted by sights and sounds of someone throwing a temper tantrum at the metal walls with whatever janitorial supplies the robots keep in there.

As a joke, there's also a sign hanging from the knob that says 'Don't Feed the Bears.'

If you'd rather send Kylo Ren a message, his communicator is still on and broadcasting. As enraged as he is, he hasn't even noticed that it's there.

[Finn's had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach all day. When he flips on the video to check out the new arrival, it only takes him a few seconds to realize who it is--and why he's had that feeling of dread. He quickly snaps it shut, and there's a long wait before he actually sends anything in return. Long enough for Ren to have found the closet, at least. If he's not going to pay attention to his communicator, fine. Finn doesn't exactly want to get into an argument with him (yet) which he no doubt will at some point.

Because if Hux already knows he's here, no use hiding from Ren.]

You're stuck here now, just like the rest of us. Learn to deal with it.

[He'll have to send Allen something to apologize for being right about jinxing it.]

Eventually Kylo discovered his communicator, ripping it from his belt. He recognized the voice and the face that came with it on the video. The traitor. The one who rescued the pilot and helped the scavenger escape. The one he thought he killed.

"FN-2187." he growled with disgust, staring at the camera. It was the first time Finn had no doubt seen the mark Rey made on his face. "You survived!"

Finn's eyes widened at the sight of the new wound. It would undoubtedly scar, and for a very uncomfortable moment he was reminded of another facial scar on a Force-user--and he resolved to tell the Jedi here right away. They'd probably see the video, but he needed to tell them everything he knew.

"My name is Finn," he said firmly. "And I could say the same to you."

"Your name is Traitor!" he hissed. "And I will make sure you don't survive for much longer!"

Threats, albeit empty ones, from the other side of a heavily barricaded supply closet door.

Finn's scowl returned. Offscreen, his hand reached down to clutch the hilt of his training lightsaber - nothing like a real one, except in weight and balance, but it was more than Ren had and it felt comfortable in his hand. It helped him find that balance Ahsoka had taught him about.

"No, it's Security Officer Finn, and you're not going to get very far if you keep trying to break the walls like that. You do know there's space on the other side."

He didn't actually know that last part, but he wouldn't admit that to Finn, just the fact that, "From what I can see out of the glass window, one of them leads to a hallway. And my ticket out of here!"

The sound of glass breaking could be heard over the comm. Followed by laughter. And then...

"Damnit! I can't reach!!"

"You want to keep trying, be my guest. But stronger people than you have tried and failed."

That ought to rankle him.

"You have to wait your turn, just like everyone else."

And that ought to rankle more. If there's one thing he knows about Ren, it's that he hates being treated like everyone else.

Oh, it made his skin crawl to know that the traitorous stormtrooper of all people was telling him about his captivity. Getting off the fleet, however, wasn't nearly as important as getting out of that damn closet.

"When I get out of here..."

Yeah, Finn's not looking forward to that. They may have a little time while he's trapped on the Marsiva before they have to deal with him directly, but it won't be very long to prepare. Not nearly as long as he'd like (i.e. indefinitely).

"Then you aren't coming near me or my friends without a fight."

"Then there's definitely going to be a fight, isn't there. I have unfinished business with you and ANYONE you call a friend."

That's what he's been training for the entire time he's been here. Even then, he knew that some day in his future there would be a rematch. Finn was determined not to let it end the same way as before.

"Bring it on."

And he'll cut the video.
