"dude,it's memorial day.not getting wasted=you're a terrorist" Phasma to FN-2187
"Er--excuse me," said FN-2187, "I had a question."
"Yes?" Phasma sighed.
"What sun are they using?"
"What?" she asked. Was this another crackpot scheme of Hux's about depowering stars?
"To measure the calendar, I mean."
"I don't understand."
"The holovids said it was appropriate to honor the courage displayed by our illustrious at this time of the year, but, I was wondering if that was a Hosnian solar year? Because they didn't seem to think very highly of the Hosnian system in general."
"The purpose of the observance is--"
"If it was for the Coruscantian system, or something like the Empire used, I could see why that would be admired by the reconstructionists--"
"What matters is that you display respect towards the fallen."
"The fallen, yes. Because of their--ideals? Their principles?"
"Their...courage in battle, yes."
"But only those fallen of the First Order."
"Well...yes."
"What about the heroes of the Empire? If Kylo Ren wants to reverence Darth Vader, is that within the scope of this observance?"
"FN-2187, as your commanding officer, I want to make sure you are...well-fed and rested for the day. Please report to the mess hall, and then return to your bunk."
It really seemed a waste to demand he imbibe mind-altering substances. The man had so much potential. For once in her otherwise illustrious career, Phasma briefly wondered if she'd overachieved on eroding his social connections with would-be peers.
He stared up at her, calculating silently, but only said "yes, ma'am" and paced off.
Phasma exhaled as he departed. Another laser dodged with that one, but she couldn't rest easily. He was already starting to ask uncomfortable questions about displays of public allegiance, and there were only two more weeks before Hux would try to do something stupid like make everyone commemorate First Order Flag Day.
