The Chief of the Syndicate sneered at Kylo Ren and the assembled Generals of the First Order. “He hasn’t broken yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Our techniques always produce results.” He waved and Hux was dragged in from another room, beaten and bloody. One of the guards jabbed him with a shock stick making him cry out.
Hux lifted his head and felt a surge of embarrassment at his torture being witnessed. He could only barely see out of one eye and he could make out a tall figure in black on the screen. His steely resolve cracked a bit and he cried out, “Ren, kill me!” He heaved a deep breath, his voice cracked as he called out again, “Please Leader Ren!” He cried out in pain as he was hit with the shock stick again.
“Do I look like the compassionate sort?” Kylo asked, his voice sounding cold even through the vocal modulator. “Now if the ship you are on is a retrofitted Corellian war cruiser with an upgraded hyperdrive,” Kylo caught the tiny nod, “And if that ship happen to suffer a reactor overload that blew up the vessel with all hands on board, well, your death would be a horrible tragedy for the First Order.” The channel cut out.
“Get them back.” Ordered one of the general.
“They’ve been destroyed.” Kylo said confidently. “A shunt on the hyperdrive got stuck open and the crew could not get to it due to the door being physically locked shut with a wrench. Record General Hux’s death on the day log.” He turned and left the room, “You can confirm the ship destruction if you feel like it.”
Kylo entered Hux’s cabin and took his helmet off. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, not bothering to wipe the tears from his face. He opened his eyes when Millicent bumped against his leg. He set his helmet down and reached down and scooped up the cat. He pet the creature as she licked his face. “I’m afraid he’s not coming back. You and I shouldn’t have any issues.” She settled into his arms and he continued, “Just try not to knock Grandfather’s helmet off the pedestal more than twice a day.”
Kylo walked over and sat on the bed, just for a few moments, before collecting his helmet and returning to his cabin.
