I'm not sure how to ask this... [But she needs to otherwise she is going to spend ages flying shuttles around the fleet.] How many people from my...universe?...are present? It's not as easy as I thought it would be to keep in contact and I've been working on schematics...

[Well that explains the ink wiped carelessly on one of her cheeks.]

I have this feeling; I can't explain it.

It's almost like something has gone silent when it had been...loud.

You're not a General here. [Which won't make him happy, she knows.] We're all on the same playing field. Besides, I saw another General mourn the loss of...someone close to her. She seemed so strong for doing it.

I may not have my star destroyer or army here but I am always a General of the First Order.

Being an officer of the First Order or the Empire isn't something learned in the academy to be set aside whenever it's convenient, it's a part of me and always will be.

[leftonjakku]

You're a human too.

There are many things I had to sacrifice along the way.

[leftonjakku]

Hux, you can't sacrifice that. It isn't possible.

The child you met had to be left behind in order to survive. I learned a valuable lesson that day that allowing emotions to get the best of me did absolutely nothing.

[leftonjakku]

I don't believe that child is dead.

You've only quieted him.

[therewillbeorder]

Why do you think that? You know what I've done.

[leftonjakku]

I...don't think anyone is too far gone, I guess. I definitely don't agree with your...practices...and I will do what it takes to stop you and Kylo Ren, but no one is hopeless.

What do you intend to do here then? You know I cannot fight you, I have no command of the Force.

video; private

[leftonjakku]

I promised I wouldn't fight you while we're here. We've learned a lot from each other, haven't we? I don't regret that.

If you are looking to make me feel any type of remorse or change who I am, you will be disappointed.

video; private

[leftonjakku]

I know. But I will still try.

[therewillbeorder]

You are going to try even though you know your efforts will be in vain?

video; private

[leftonjakku]

I do not think them in vain. People can change even if it takes a long, long time.

video; private

[therewillbeorder]

What if I do not want to change?

video; private

[leftonjakku]

You may not have a choice.

I wasn't given one.

video; private

[therewillbeorder]

Yes, you were. There is always a choice.

There's no way I could have lived with myself if I did anything differently.

So you're doing it to feel better about yourself. I'm sure you think it's noble but you're doing what Jedi before have done. Imposing their way of life on everyone simply because they can and have the power to do so. It's what led to their downfall during the Old Republic.

[leftonjakku]

No. I did it because...

I have to move forward. Whether I benefit or not doesn't really matter right now. I have to do what is right.

[He trailed off then, not sure what to say. No one had ever spoken to him like this before.]

I am going to work on the plans. I will let you know when I am finished.
