I don't know who it was, but it's a fairly narrow list of who it could be. [ A rogue variable for now. Not one he enjoys dealing in, considering his options. ] If the issues on planet can be traced back to anything, it's that.

Date: 2016-04-26 08:05 pm (UTC)I don't believe it to be any of my broodmates. Otherwise, no, I've no idea.
[ If they were projecting murderous glee across the planet, he must've missed it in the fight with Ren. Or he just was ignoring everyone as much as he possibly could, somehow believing the rest capable of not murdering someone on-planet. ]

Date: 2016-04-26 10:21 pm (UTC)I'm better off knowing than not, all things considered. [ They did just talk about him getting to know the nest, didn't they? ]

His mind link tells him she should be there but he doesn't feel anything except for ice. Unnerved, he focuses on her words, content with the answer even if the means dig under his skin. ]
Did she learn something from it? [ Her mind had been chaos when he first met her. Hard to say if there had been any change. ]

Date: 2016-04-27 01:54 am (UTC)[Without touching Ilde's mind, without using all the tools in his proverbial kit, was there a way to know definitively?]
It seems we must wait and see what she's gleaned from her time on the planet.
no subject
Date: 2016-04-27 04:30 pm (UTC)Either way, I'm sure it will be enlightening. [ Whether it's due to more chaos on her part or if she's finally shaped up. ]
Will that be all, Cathaway?

Date: 2016-04-28 01:53 am (UTC)Yes, General. We believe that answers all our concerns. [She turns the two of her boot back to the room's exact center - can feel the way the Station shifts and hums and grows around her and lets it wash over and through her.] Should you have any of your own, we are always here to assist you.
[If it sounds like a dismissal, that's because it ought to.]

[ Hux recognizes a dismissal when he hears one, so he tips his head towards her before he turns sharply and heads out of the command room. ]
