Dramatic Entry

[forcefullyunstable]

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.

Comments

He almost laughed at that. "It would have been better if they did. But the Supreme Leader was wise. It was right to let my hate flourish until I was powerful enough to make the right choice myself!"

"So everything was right about it, but it would have been better the other way? That doesn't sound super brainwashed at all."

[forcefullyunstable]

"Some things are clearly beyond your comprehension."

[passingthrough]

"Why don't you explain with the small words why you're a space nazi then." That's how it ended up getting described to her at one point. Tends to stick in the mind.

[forcefullyunstable]

An unusual term, but he could hazard a guess to its meaning. She knew where his loyalties lie, but not why.

"I follow the Supreme Leader because it is my duty to return the galaxy to the stability and prosperity it had under the Great Galactic Empire! I enforce order! I am the living legacy of Darth Vader, and will finish what he was unable to accomplish in his lifetime!"

Kylo was a fanatic where his grandfather was concerned, and his loyalty to the First Order was unshakable.

"Sooo...you want to control people just like you're being controlled and you've convinced yourself it's for their best interests?" Is this going to be the time sarcasm gets through to someone and changes their worldview in a burst of snark? No?

[forcefullyunstable]

"I am not bring controlled!" He shouted. The current exception of the robots and this damn closet door would go unmentioned.

"I have power! And a master who appreciates that power!" Again, the current exception of not actually having that power here will go unmentioned. "The First Order will rise to rule the galaxy!"

[passingthrough]

"Do you hear what you just said? You said your master—which is already a sketchy word—appreciates you for your power. Is that what you want to be? Someone's weapon?"

Okay, the X-Men may never have taken her in if she hadn't been a mutant with powers like them, but even if the trained her to be their assassin they were also her family. Totally different. Not messed up at all. And they were on the right side of history. Probably.

[forcefullyunstable]

He just seethed. Of course, she wouldn't understand.

"You should watch your mouth before you find out how good a weapon I can be!"

History is written by the side that wins. Mutant, human, or otherwise.

[passingthrough]

"You're not the only one here with powers."

What happens when everyone loses and there's no one left to write that history?

[forcefullyunstable]

"And most of them are my enemies!" He shouted. "And they should be counting their blessings that I'm stuck here!"

Then everything would be lost, wouldn't it. A pity, that Kylo Ren would never be able to recognize that for the tragedy that it would be. Maybe someday. But definitely not today.

[passingthrough]

"Overcompensating much?" Doing that thing again where she sounds really calm while he shouts.

[forcefullyunstable]

"Nothing I can't back up!"

...usually.

[passingthrough]

"Shouldn't you be resting more? Shouting and posturing less?" But seriously though. Injured and trapped in the closet like an R. Kelly song.

[forcefullyunstable]

Well, you riled him up... (Which isn't all that hard to do, really. This is Kylo Ren.)

"Shouldn't you be doing something to get me out of here?"

[passingthrough]

"I can't reach the Marsiva. At least not the are you're in. No one can." Would she if she could? Well, it's not a flat no, but not a definite yes either.

[forcefullyunstable]

"Then why are we even having this conversation?!" he hissed, angry and frustrated. It was hard to blame him, given the circumstance he was in. But unfortunately, he was volatile in nearly every circumstance.

[passingthrough]

"You mean why am I wasting your time by talking to you if I can't be immediately useful to you? You must have so many friends."
