[Kylo Ren’s voice comes through the magitek a few hours after the chaos of the ambush has evaporated.]

I have discovered some information of importance that may aid us going forward.

[Look at him, being a team player. He has grown up so much. (No he hasn’t)]

As it turns out, our terrorists are not affiliated with the colors they wear. I was able to determine that they acted alone, without the instruction of the Empress of the Crashing Wave.

I believe an unknown third party may be attempting to escalate tension in order to incite civil war between the clans.

They were, yes. [PAY NO MIND TO THE USE OF PAST TENSE.] Many in my universe are space-faring.

What of your people?

[sololoquy]

[He picks up on that. Too bad the First Order has also recently made a habit of destroying entire star systems. WHOOPS.]

The same is true for my galaxy. Space travel is only limited by commerce. Otherwise, it is freely available.

[juniberries]

That certainly does sound similar to where I am from. Though freedom to travel can easily be impeded by a tyrannical empire.

[ignore the sharp edge to her voice when she says that.]

You misunderstand. Anyone can travel, so long as they can afford a ship. And that they have the knowledge to pilot it.

[But hey, tyrannical empire, please tell him more.]

How did the empire come to power?

BASICALLY.....

[BOY IT'S A LONG STORY and it has zombies.

but she's not going to get into that to a complete stranger.]

Through intimidation and war. My father had helped create a legendary defender to protect the universe from evil forces, and he had been betrayed by a power-hungry emperor who sought to control it.

[sololoquy]

And the war over that weapon is still occurring?

[Sounds familiar. He knows better than to say as much outright, at least.]

[juniberries]

It has changed considerably, but yes.

[sololoquy]

Pity. I wish you luck upon your return. Perhaps your work here will aid your progress there.

[He has no stake in another world's war, nor enough of a moral center to feel the need to defend what she might call 'evil'.]
