Kylo Ren is in meditation, in the dark chamber where he last spoke to Ren Prime. The main door slides open to reveal an officer coming from a corridor with much stronger lighting.

"She is requesting a considerable amount… even for the First Order."
"It does not matter. Millions of lives will be spared if we seize this advantage; millions who will support our rule once the war is over."
