(backdated) day: 37

[exhuxperation]

[ 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 : ) ]

Comments

[sensitively]

[ Finn came from the Order, she remembers all too well, and at the mention of the wrongdoings of the New Republic she falters for a fleeting second. But it's only fleeting: ]

( You cannot expect me to believe you care about -anyone- in the Nest, when you could so carelessly and callously destroy innocent lives so easily! )

[exhuxperation]

[ This stings more than the point she brings up about the Hosnian system. That has been his choice then, something he worked to achieve so he could help set things straight.

But this, about those in the Nest. She doesn't realize– they're all too connected. Not caring about them would be akin to taking his own limb off. Not only is it functionally idiotic, but he personally has no desire to push them away. For all that he hated being mentally connected to everyone at first, he's grown used to it. And much to his surprise, he's gotten attached to some of the people here. That attachment, something he would normally view as weak, gives him reason to make sure they all do well.

So for a moment after Rey's attack, there's a resounding mental silence like he's been struck. Shock radiates until he can put a cap on it. ]

( I would not expect you to believe anything I said. Regardless, I will not see this Nest divided or destroyed just because you think I'm incapable of caring. )

[sensitively]

[ She can't know how the Nest at large has affected him, how it's changed his perspective somewhat, and especially with only having been a part of it for a short while.

Rey can only know what she'd seen — the weapon charging again, ready to annihilate the Resistance. ]

( I don't think you incapable of caring. You apparently care very much about murdering innocents. )
