[ The camera turns on, light dim, and the sound of water can be heard lapping against stone. It's a familiar place to everyone, Kylo Ren hasn't even left the cavern before he reaches out, a scowl on his face as he speaks, quiet and calm. ]

I don't know how your....team did this, but you cant hide from me. I will find you.

[  He can sense so many people he shouldn't, it's confusing and down right infuriating.  There are people here that shouldn't be, couldn't be, and they don't feel quite right so it had to be a trick wouldn't it?  Kylo makes an aggravated face. Whatever it was, he needed to keep his guard up. He's been tricked and manipulated too much as of late, and it's exhausting him, the constant shift of power and conditions he's had to struggle through. ]

Whoever runs this planet... it was a mistake to collude with the Resistance. You will regret it.

Sorry to say I don't think your Resistance had anything to do with it.

[Alessia is watching the screen on her device warily, hoping she doesn't accidentally say anything to anger this guy even more.]

[obumbravit]

It's not my resistance. Are you part of the government here?

[video]

[gundesign]

[Tori seems to not mind this guy's bad mood at all, flashing a grin.]

I don't know anything about this Resistance, but I can tell you for sure that they had nothing to do with this! Pretty sure no one runs the planet, either. We all seem to be equally helpless to its whims~

[All right, all right. That's enough teasing. She smiles more sincerely.]

Listen, I don't know what your deal is, but you should just see this as a blessing in disguise. Whatever you're going through back home? It doesn't matter here. Take the time to relax, you know?

[She's sure that she's had a similar conversation to this in the past, but she ignores that possibility.]

[video]

[obumbravit]

If no one runs this planet, how did I end up here?

[ He looks at her like she's stupid, before pressing his lips into a thin line at her suggestion to relax. There was no way, a place where war hasn't reached? He's certain that the galaxy was fully invested in destroying itself. ]

Relax, when you've been taken captive. That sounds like the coward's way out.

[snippings]

Um, who exactly do you think you're talking to?

[obumbravit]

Not you.

[floatingrocks]

Ben.

[She knew the 'peace' she'd experienced upon coming here was not to last. Have a stern, familiar pair of eyes fixed straight into your feed.]

You're not going to get any answers when you go about it like that.

[obumbravit]

[ There she was... He knew she was here. Despite their last interaction, their connection is as strong as ever, even with the door closed as it was on her side. He could still feel it. He speaks quietly, trying to keep his voice even. ]

How do you expect me to go about it.

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

OK, first of all, no one's hiding or colluding with anyone; we were all kidnapped here, same as you.

And second, there's no need to be dramatic. If you wanna know something, just ask. Can't guarantee that I'll know the answers, but I'll do my best.

[video]

[obumbravit]

How long has this kidnapping been going on?

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Ah, such a happy newcomer... ]

You're having a bad day, haven't you?

[ He just may feel a bit like trolling this one... ]

[obumbravit]

[ Over the years of being under Snoke's thumb, Kylo Ren has seen many things, and learned many things, it's usually very hard to make him break face. Lately though, with all that has been going on his life, he's been startled and shocked and horrified and pushed past his comfort zone so many times that he thinks that he should be ready for anything.

Seeing Anakin Skywalker alive and well, and speaking to him, that familiar voice from all the holos he's watched on his idol from beginning to end hitting him hard in the heart.

Kylo's eyes widen quickly, as if he's seen a ghost, and he swallows once hard, pointing at the screen. ]

You.....you're Anakin Skywalker.

[Hikari had been idly watching the network for the latter part of the last week. Enough to familiarize herself with some of the new faces and discussions going on. Most of them, she'd watched and moved on from. Still too mentally drained to think of an adequate response. But this message...there was something about it...and though her voice was not yet at full strength, she couldn't help ask:]

..."Resistance"?

video

[obumbravit]

A group of liars, murderers, and thieves that resist a progress that would cut them out of the galaxy.

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

Threats will not be tolerated.

[Video]

[obumbravit]

You.... [ He knows this creature, from his studies. The name slips him, but there's no mistaking the mask.  ] Unless you took part in this kidnapping scheme, that threat is not directed towards you.

[Video]

[scarlet_devil]

[ Remilia is more amused than anything. And almost... nostalgic? The vampire has a lot of dark power about her. ]

My, how nostalgic. I too threatened those responsible for stealing us away and bringing us here when I arrived.

[ That sure sounds like a Twi'leki accent from her. ]

[Video]

[obumbravit]

Ever find who "they" are?

video

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Oh great. Another one of these arrivals. They always think they can threaten their way out of a bad situation, though it remains a mere annoyance as long as they don't actually try to kill their way out of it. Best to nip this in the bud. ]

You will find that municipal authorities aren't colluding with anyone but another, and as for our kidnappers, you're welcome to them if you can track them down.

[ Having only run into Kylo once, for mere minutes, when he himself was new and confused, the face doesn't immediately ring a bell to Cassian beyond the vague feeling that he's seen it before. The words in itself, though, are enough to earn Kylo a very grim expression. ]

In the meantime, I would thank you for not menacing the civilian population.

video

[obumbravit]

Menacing.... The only thing that is menacing is whomever caused this to happen.

[ He gives him a look of pure distaste. He doesn't like this man already, he reminds him of someone...that he had already broken once, and yet kept coming back to aggravate him. ]

I can menace...if you wish for a demonstration on what that actually is.

[unhappy]

Okay there are obviously like a million worlds involved here, I'm sure you're not the only one with the world's most unoriginal name so your going to have to say which Resistance. Knowing who we're colluding with is important here!

[ So says the girl Cassian has done his damned best into adopting recruiting into it despite that it's a non-issue here. But even more importantly- ]

Did you stay in the Bay just so you could get more dramatic lighting or are you scared to come out?

IT WAS THE DRAMATIC LIGHTING

[obumbravit]

I've since realized that.

[ He makes a small sound of distaste, so many people today are getting put on his 'do not like' list. It makes far more sense to think this was something understandable, not some god-like plucking of people from their universes, and yet he's being treated like a inept child. It just worsens his mood. ]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

[Han has no idea who he's trying to talk to, since he's not *that* Han]

I don't think they're involved with anything from whatever world you're from...or any of us. No clue who it is, but I think it's bigger than wherever anyone's from.

[obumbravit]

[ He wasnt even talking to Han, wasn't even looking for him. Why would he? His father is dead by his own hand. It had destroyed him, made him want to plunge himself after his father's body, to take it all back, turn back time, fall on the floor and weep, but instead he had been shot and it solidified the reality of everything.

Han Solo was dead, so this young man from his family albums, the man who had swung him around as a child, and yelled at him for shedding tears, he couldnt possibly be speaking to him right now. ]

How dare you?

[ There's horror and revolution in his voice, after all this had to be a trick. Had to be someone trying to hit him in a nerve that's already raw. ]

[k2so]

[The droid in the screen tilts his head to the side slightly, he remembers this man.

Oh, you are back.

There's more polite ways to say 'hello', you know.

[ Video ]

[obumbravit]

You may want to get your optics repaired Droid. I'm not who ever you are thinking of.

[democratically]

[Padmé has heard of a resistance, but she knows that it doesn't necessarily mean that it is the one that she has been told about. It is not just her galaxy here she knows, and it is not as if it is that uncommon of a name.

He does look less than impressed, although she cannot hold that against him. Being taken against one's will is not something that tends to garner any compassion or pleased feelings.

Those brown eyes are soft, understanding, and there is a calmness about her.]

Whatever team you might be thinking is behind this plot, they likely aren't. This place seems to run on its own rules, and whatever galaxy it is that you come from, you are a far way from it.

video - thos puns doe

[obumbravit]

[ He's getting tired of people telling him how wrong he is. He's about to snap but there's something about this woman that makes him take pause, and a wrinkle presses into his forehead as he looks at her.

She reminds him of his mother. He makes a pained face, and chews his emotions down, glancing to the side as he tries to rein himself in. ]

Very far away.... And yet you seem familiar. What planet do you come from?

[Video]

[fairysoul]

Oh, you're back. [She's having a busy week and usually doesn't take the time to answer messages these days. Consider yourself lucky, Kylo.] I thought you were gone for good and that I had missed my opportunity for a tour on your spaceship.

You sound angrier than the last time you came here, though. [She tilts her head.] You shouldn't stay in that cave. I assure you there are comfier places to stay at in Genessia.

[robodorable]

... This unit is almost impressed with your level of anger at the situation.

Nonetheless, it assures you that any Resistance that is here is probably not the one you nor this unit would first think of. Unless you're used to fighting a vast army of brainlinked cyborgs.

Also, you may wish to avoid the Feyren area for the moment; that burn looks like it would not react well to the unnatural blizzard in that place.

[ video ]

[deathsought]

You're back.

{ Oh, Kylo, don't ever change. Zeref's seated in front of a window. Nothing can be seen out of it, just... white. Damn this snow. He nonchalantly turns a page of whatever it is he's reading and looks up. }

Unfortunately, no progress had been made toward answering that question since the last time you've asked it. Only, that there is a sizable portion of us now who believes that it is not a who that controls this world, but a what. I can say definitively, however, that it's safe to assume that your 'Resistance' is still no more responsible this time than they were before.

[Video]

[shewhoislife]

[She's not sure who this newcomer is, but she didn't like the tone of his voice. She's heard that tone far too much in the orcs that followed Gul'dan.]

You would do well to know your place, mortal. Here, you have no title, no clout, and neither does your 'resistance.' You have a clean slate, do not mar it by throwing threats.
