[ Hello everyone, here's a gentle knock or nudge on your mental doors. It's as polite and crisp as the person behind it– Hux is never one to overlook formalities, regardless of the fact that everyone is linked in the brain. So once he's relatively certain he has most people's attention, he'll get more to the point. ]
( If I have interrupted your activities, I do apologize. However, I have something I would like to pass across to the rest of you should it be of interest.
Considering the growth of the Nest that we've experienced, it may benefit us to begin coordinating efforts and communication on a larger scale.
I realize this may seem redundant when taking the mindlink into account, but for those who are newer or those who do not have as much of a handle on their newfound powers, it could be helpful. Moreover, the progress we've made collectively on this mission could be pushed with more cohesive organization. )
[ Does it sound like he's practiced this? He probably has. Anyone who might be familiar with him would recognize the speechifying. ]
( All in all, I believe this group is rather talented and driven, just lacking on the communication aspect. If you've input on any of these points, I would be glad to hear them. )
[ ooc: Hux is essentially seeing if people want to share power descriptions so it makes it easier for other characters to tap people for missions! This is completely optional. He'll also be making notes and probably being nosy I mean checking in on broods re: temperature checks. Feel free to volunteer if you want dad Hux to bother your character about their feelings about the nest : ) ]

no subject
( This has nothing to do with the Nest at large, and everything to do with the Hosnian system. Don't forget you are as much to blame as the man who gave the order to fire! )
no subject
Or do you imagine I stood at his side when he gave the final order.)
[Because spoiler alert while he's bitterly wincing in mild pain: that attack on the Senate was a Vote of No Confidence in Kylo Ren. General Hux's ploy to regain lost footing and earn Snoke's favor.
All in all, he didn't much care for it at the time, either.]
no subject
[ except that doesn't completely add up, even in her anger, because it was shortly afterwards that Ren had landed on Takodana... ]
no subject
(Search me if you want - I'll hold nothing back.)
[Not that she hasn't already pried into his thoughts with all the efficiency of a twisted knife. An eye for an eye.]

With it she sees him standing on the bridge of his ship, his back to her view as he's bathed in red light and watching the trajectory of the beam launched from Starkiller as it streams toward its final destination. His fists are clenched, he's stock-still, but she can't get a clear read on his emotions or his thoughts — too much interference, perhaps. He'd said he'd hold nothing back, from me.
Rey pushes further into his mind, past this memory and then glimpses something else — Ren seated, knees apart, speaking in a dark room. To a mask.
Vader's mask, twisted and broken and melted.
I feel it again...the pull to the Light. Supreme Leader senses — show me, Grandfather — finish what you've —
— and just as abruptly, she's yanked out of the memory as Ren walls his thoughts off from her.
She takes a long moment to process what she's seen: it was a private confession, of sorts, something he's kept from prying minds. It's not what she's come to expect of him. ]
( ...You said he 'senses' it. Did your Supreme Leader know of your conflict? Or did you hide it from him? )
no subject
Besides, even he can admit that the realization of humanity— just as removing his mask had done before— might serve him better than brute force. Give her time to relate to it, to understand it and feel every facet of that memory as if it were her own, further dissolving the line between them.]
(Goodnight, Rey.)
[A moment later that narrow thread closes further: as Cathaway had shut him out, so he now shuts out his shadow.
Until next time.]
no subject
Infuriated at being shut out so suddenly, she has a flare of temper and a fleeting thought of destroying something before she tamps down on it and tries hard to channel it into calm.
Whether she succeeds is another story. ]
CRASHES IN HERE
OH HELLO~
( ...You heard that, didn't you. ) [ a flash of sheepishness; she's already caused their Brood enough trouble by fighting, and then interrupting the vigil. ] ( I had to say something. )
LMNFSDJFA pretend this has been a closed convo
[ He's not pleased, and that sentiment is a perceivable weight now. How it reflects back on the brood, that one of their own acts out so wildly. Among them and out in public. It's become more than personal, at this point. ]
( Yes, I understand that what these men have done is - unconscionable, and you bore witness to it ) [ to some, not all - he does not add. ] ( Yet, you are sowing strife among all of us. You've drawn more of us into your vendetta. )
no worries!
Initially, it had just been Ren — but her own loss pales in comparison to what has been done on what used to be a single-star system. ]
( That man is not to be trusted. What would you have me do, hold my tongue and allow him to -lie- to everyone, let them think that he has the interests of the Nest at heart? ) [ a flare of disbelief and hurt, across their connection. ] ( You cannot ask me to do that. )
no subject
I am not saying forgive and forget and fall into silence. Far from it. That's not what I am asking. ) [ The rush of sensation: those who seek revenge dig two graves but oh only if you intend to not dance upon the one you have buried among the rocks so that not even the earth may reclaim them - he knows the inability to forgive. The captivation there is in fighting for what she has lost, with a great sound and fury. She's an angry young woman, and her anger is without direction. And Hux is not the only one with blood on his hands - though the idea of indiscriminate mass murder sours even his taste for violence. ]
( I am asking that you stop endangering us, as you seek vengeance. Do you understand? Your anger is a beautiful thing, Rey - but it is purposeless and dangerous , when it harms the nest as a whole and not the one who you are angry with. )
no subject
To fight the interests of the Nest is akin to suicide, but... ]
( ...Isn't what I'm doing, to protect it?
I understand that it's divisive, that outing Hux as I've done has turned members against one another. But how are you so certain that he wasn't planning all along to betray the Nest in some form, or even destroy it? ) [ he'd taken so many billions of lives, so easily, so quickly, from a remote station with the push of a button - how could any of them assume he wouldn't turn that cold, calculating ruthlessness on the people here? ]
( How do you trust that wouldn't happen? )
no subject
[ Weigh that carefully, against his deeds. He does not condone mass murder, far from it - his own people have been killed, en masse, throughout the years. ]
( And if, for some reason, that was his goal - look, and note how many are present who would take his hand clean off before he could direct such a thing. )
no subject
It doesn't excuse what he's done in her own universe, but the understanding that he's not a threat in this one does register with her. ]
( I simply felt it prudent to warn the others. If you want me to stay silent with respect to what he's done from here on further, I will. ) [ she lets her bitter and melancholy thoughts come to the surface, those of her own, more personal, losses.
To him, the man who seems to have given himself the task of orchestrating both her darker thoughts of vengeance and her acceptance of the Nest, she asks: ]
( Do you ever find yourself wondering why it was, that you were chosen? To be here, to aid the Nest? )
