General Hux paced up and down the line of lieutenants that fervently ran the gigantic Star Destroyer ship. They knew better than to glance up when the dark, tense figure leaned in close to look at their readings and instead focused on their specific tasks at hand, communicating with the heads of their department through their comlinks.
"General," There was an interruption in the low murmurs as one lieutenant that was in charge of the radars that tracked signals straightened up. "Kylo Ren has activated his distress beacon."
The tall, light-haired general crossed the platform to the young lieutenant to peer over her shoulder. The signal was coming from inside the Fondor III asteroid belt.
"Is there any known sentient life forms in that system?"
"None, sir."
According to Supreme Leader Snoke, was top priority to find the missing Kylo Ren and it had been eight days with absolutely no sign that he was even still alive. However, the general's loyal workers poured over maps and radars, hoping to find a sign of the young Force-wielder. And now he activates his distress beacon at his own leisure. Lovely.
General Hux reflected on how much peaceful it had been since the young apprentice went missing and how unappealing the idea of bringing him back sounded. He had secretly hoped that the ill-tempered boy was lost forever.
"Orders, sir?" Captain Phasma, the Stormtrooper commander dressed in a chrome uniform said coolly, as her presence vaporized behind and slightly left of the General.
"Send a detachment to find him." The general said bitterly. It was what was expected on location of the boy. Maybe the squadron would be destroyed in the process and the General could conclude that it was "too dangerous" to find him.
Yes, that sounded good.
