Who: Rey & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: For Marsiva.
When: 9/16

[She is understandably confused, but after all she has experienced, she is taking this in careful strides. ~~Unlike a certain member of the Dark Side.~~]

If anyone can see this transmission, my name is Rey and I was just - [Meeting a cloaked Jedi. No big deal.] It doesn't matter. I'm looking for the Millennium Falcon and a tall Wookiee named Chewbacca.

[Unless she has been kidnapped by the First Order again.]

This ship is called the Marsiva, isn't it? It...wouldn't happen to be owned by the First Order, would it?

[Please say no. She has noticed that she is missing the lightsaber and that leaves her with only one option if she is cornered. ~~How does the Jedi Mind Trick even work?~~]

No, you wouldn't have. [The First Order fleet may have started from the remnants of the Imperial navy but there had been nothing like it in the galaxy before in terms of technological advancements.]

I hate playing the who started it first game. I didn't catch your name though, Ren only referred to you as the scavenger.

Rey. My name is Rey. [And she isn't afraid to reveal that, but don't ask for a surname because she has no idea.] You are General Hux. My friends don't really speak highly of you.

Ah yes, the girl Ren decided to bring back instead of the droid. [You send Ren to do something that should be so simple and he doesn't do what he's supposed to. Story of his life for the last five years.]

Yes, that's me. I can't say I'm surprised by that.

You wouldn't have been able to capture the droid. [BB-8 is that awesome, okay? Besides, she would rather be caught in his place. Poor little droid.]

I'm not looking to fight. Your mission is currently postponed anyway.

I'm not going to debate that as it's rather pointless to by now, don't you think? [They didn't get the map but it was hardly the only thing they were after.

Also, it had been Ren who had failed in that regard. He refused to take all the blame on that one.]

What do you want then?

Pointless to you, but we're learning how to escape your grasp. The Resistance is learning.

[Since she had seen the map, BB-8 wasn't entirely necessary.]

Peace. No conquering, no control, no war.

Without funding and support from the Republic the Resistance is certainly going to have to learn to be resourceful very quickly at least. [Droids were easier to manage most of the time. And they typically also weren't Force sensitive either.]

How about a truce for now? I think we can do that here, at the very least.

It will thrive. [Brave words, but she is determined to do all she can for it.]

A truce that is only in place if you and your allies do not attack me or my friends.

We'll see, won't we?

[He can almost see how she gave Ren a run for his money. Though then again, Ren was kind of a total mess to begin with.]

And in return you and your Resistance will refrain from attacking the First Order and our allies as well. That is the truce I agreed to with Obi-Wan Kenobi at least.

Yes, we will.

[Ren is...lost. She would almost feel bad for him if he hadn't murdered Han and hurt Finn.]

If he agreed, I will as well.

[No don't feel bad for Ren, it's Hux who is suffering here having to deal with that mess.]

I'm pleased to hear that.

[Hux, baby, you don't have to deal with feeling the Force. If Ren truly loses it, he'll take out everyone.]

I trust his judgement. I'm not doing it for you.

[At this point it may be a mercy. Five years, Rey, five long years and so many expense reports.]

You trust him already? Have you even met him?

[So many Jedi why.]

[You say that now.]

We spoke. I don't need to know him to know what he has done. He has never wavered in his stance against the Dark Side.

Perhaps not but you have a rather naive and idealistic view of Jedi, don't you?

Not all. He's...kind of special in the stories.

Which stories are those?

You've...never heard them?

How he taught Luke Skywalker and helped him defeat Darth Vader?

Oh no, I've heard all the stories, a few I doubt you've heard.

[And since mentioned the magic word he's switching this private asap.]

The stories say he helped defeat Vader? Really? Interesting...and also wrong.

Like which ones?

[She's always up for stories. Even if they're coming from someone she doesn't trust.]

How is that wrong?

Lets see here, the ones about the Jedi abusing their powers and lack of accountability. Leading a coup against an elected leader.

[He grew up on those stories considering his father was an officer in the Republic army.]

Kenobi was dead by the time of Vader's death.

You're talking about Palpatine? [Elected leader, maybe, but not a psychopath that needed to be destroyed? Definitely not!]

I know that. But he trained Luke - along with Master Yoda - and prepared him for it.

Yes. [Hux honestly had mixed feelings about Palpatine but he didn't really care about Palpatine being a Sith. Sith Lord or not, Palpatine had accomplished many good things in the galaxy.]

Do you know for certain it was Luke Skywalker who defeated and killed Vader then? And the Emperor at the same time?

[he was actually curious about what she knew about that, if anything. No one really knew what happened on Death Star II.]

Palpatine was dangerous. He didn't need to be ruling anybody. [It doesn't matter to her what good he did. A Sith is a Sith is a Sith is a Sith!]

How could I know for certain? I know the stories I was told and -

Who else would have done it if not him?

He certainly was dangerous, certainly but you are hardly in a position of saying whether or not he could rule. He was elected at one point, you realize.

[And Jedi are just as bad in his view, if not worse.]

I was interesting in hearing what you thought what might have happened, if you really thought Luke would kill Vader like that.

[he wondered if she had made the connection between Luke and Anakin/Vader yet but he wouldn't hand it to her.]
