Kylo Ren was out of the elevator before the doors finished opening and he was practically running down the corridor.
General Hux met him then had to pivot and run to keep up with the Supreme Leader.
“We believe the creature was trying to infiltrate our security by masquerading as one of the knights.”
“How badly injured is Ushar?” They arrived and had to wait for the airlock to cycle to let them in the isolation lab.
“No one is sure of the species, but it woke up angry and is being kept in an isobay. As to the knight it is impersonating…”
“Soft pink fur, kept short? Pointy teeth? Four fingers instead of five? Big round golden colored eyes? That is Ushar. Has always been Ushar.”
They emerged and the lab supervisor said with obvious contempt, “The soundproof barriers are up, the beast has been making an unpleasant screeching.”
Kylo walked over and put his hand on the door, closing his eyes and concentrating. After a few seconds Kylo opened the door over the objections of General Hux and the lab supervisor.
He peered inside and then asked the supervisor, “Where is their gear? Helmet and so forth?”
“I don’t know sir.”
“Go find the gear.” Kylo turned as a gurgle and whine attracted his attention, “I’m trying to find your vocoder at the very least.” Kylo removed his hooded cloak and passed it to the naked knight. He half smiled at the cheery sounding whistle.
Then he caught Hux’s sneer and the smile departed his face. “Something wrong, General Hux?”
“That thing…”
“That is Ushar of the Knights of Ren.”
“It’s been…”
“Zie has been one of the Knights of Ren for longer than I have. Did we ever figure out how old you are?” Kylo listened to a clicked response. “No, I didn’t think so.”
“Are any of the rest of the Knights – nonhuman?”
Kylo fixed Hux with a glare of his own. “Does it matter? They do their jobs, follow the calling.”
“You aren’t going to say.” Hux frowned at the noise from the cubicle, “Is it laughing at me?”
“Zie is laughing.“
The lab supervisor could only track down the helmet, weapon, and only one boot which got thrown at the supervisor. Ushar settled the helmet on zie’s head, and asked, “Permission to return to the ship?”
“How badly hurt are you?”
“Some scorched fur, several bruises from the rough lading.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Ushar put the hood up and walked out of the isolation cubicle, holding zie’s weapon and holding the cloak shut. Kylo looked at Hux, “I’ll join you shortly.”
Hux watched the pair enter the airlock and sneered in disgust at the Supreme Leader’s attitude.
Once inside the Night Buzzard Ushar handed the cloak back to Kylo. Zie removed the helmet and set the weapon aside then let out a loud ululating song.
“Feeling better?” Cardo asked, getting a swipe of a hand in response. Cardo only laughed then pulled Ushar into an embrace.
