[ 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.

Sounds like something a child would say.

[snippings]

Fine, then I won't tell you what I know about the Resistance presence on this planet.

[obumbravit]

[ He pauses, before he laughs once, a short unpleasant thing. ]

You wouldn't tell me what you knew anyway. Not like this.

[snippings]

Normally? No.

[She's so cautious she hasn't even fully introduced herself yet. Which she should probably change... eventually.]

But just checking, is this Resistance fighting against some First Order?

[obumbravit]

...What is your name?

[snippings]

Apparently it’s child, but most people here call me Ashla.

[obumbravit]

[ He doesn't recognize it, even though her voice tugs at something in his memory. ]

Ashla. When we cross paths I will find out what I want to know.

[snippings]

Cross paths? You know, you could just say let's meet up some time!

[She's got a bad feeling about this, but-]

I live in Nova City. It's the closest place here to our galaxy.

[obumbravit]

Nova City.

[ He's distracted now. Anakin's message has left him unsteadied, and yet it makes her voice all the more familiar. Where was it from?]

I will keep you in mind.

[snippings]

You can't say anything normal, can you?

[obumbravit]

Do you expect casual conversation with someone you've never met?

[snippings]

Well, I expect them not to talk like... like this! And everyone else I've met here has been perfectly capable of that.
