[Open]

Who: Rey and HuxArmitage
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: For S.S. Bloodsport.
When: Monday evening.

Hold on. [The small voice is somewhat muted at first while a communicator is being turned this way and that.] I think we’ll be able to reach others with this -

[With the communicator finally facing the right way, the image of a small girl comes into focus. Her hair is in the same style she will wear when she is older and much of her clothing is similar too.]

Isn’t your name Armitage? Can I call you Armi?

That’s not my name though… [Another voice, this one also younger and uncertain can be heard then and when the communicator shifts there is a 5 year old with sharp blue eyes and orange hair. He’s wearing a fitted uniform of an Imperial officer though the only insignia is an armband around one arm bearing the symbol of the Galactic Empire. He still has some dust on his clothes, a small cut on one cheek but his expression is determined.] I just need to find the Commandant and the fleet before they leave.

Someone will know. [Rey has the simple trust of a child, though recently her trust has been badly shaken. Being left on a remote desert planet will do that to you. However she is three or so years older than her companion and she feels the need to take charge and soothe his worries.]

If anyone can hear, we’re looking for the...Commandant? I’m also looking for Jakku. [Though she really, really doesn’t want to go back there. But her family might come back and look for her.

She takes a deep breath.]
I need to go back to Jakku, but I like it better here. Armi has been really nice and I don't see very many kids in the desert.

[The nickname is sticking and there is obviously a growing affection for the small boy.]

[That was good enough for him and he actually gave a small smile. The ideology was lost on him, so long as she wasn't someone from the Republic or a Rebel.]

Why not? [Rey didn't seem like a Rebel. At least not a kind of Rebel he had learned about. At the the same time, he doubted the Commandant would approve of him keeping company with a scavenger.] She's helping me find my way back.

She will be the cause of great ruin. [She, as well as her ne'er do well friends.] I will come to collect you. What is your location?

[He made a face as he thought about her question but he didn't have a way to begin to figure it out.] I don't know where I am. It's not the academy though.

[She is in the odd position of wanting to listen to his argument and not being sure how much she had to answer to him, while he's in this form. At the very least she needed to ensure his safety in a Fleet of so many hostiles.]

You are not in the academy anymore. You are on a ship. If you can find out which ship you are on, I can come get you. There are many enemies here.

[Fear could be seen in his expression despite how much he attempted to control it. After the siege and his father's warnings he didn't want to think that this was a Republic ship.]

I won't let them get me. [The fear was still there but he wasn't going to get upset.] Barriss will know. I promised her not to disappoint the Empire after all.

[And he took that duty very seriously.]

Yes, you can trust her.

[There's a little irritation. She knew Hux trusted Barriss, and had suggested she do the same, but she had not yet officially met the woman and the idea of leaving Hux - in this condition - up to someone she had not met wasn't sitting right. Without a location, though, there's not much she can do.]

[That was good enough for him. The Captain must know Barriss if they were both Imperial that made sense to him.]

Alright! She's really nice. And green. [Because that's important here.]

Green.

[There is something important Hux has neglected to inform her about their Jedi saboteur.]

I will be in contact.

Green.

[He gave a very solemn nod.]

Ok! I told Barriss I would stay with her.

[He's already getting restless from having to sit for so long now, looking off to the side to see what Rey was doing despite his attempts to be as serious as he could.]
