CUT INT. STAR DESTROYER BRIDGE

The camera centers on Kylo Ren as he walks through a Star Destroyer Corridor. Admiral Helmuth and General Hux flank him on each side as they walk through. They turn right and move into a boardroom, the door closing behind them as a holographic display spurs to life. The holographic display shows a large blue web of stars, then, a large green sphere extends out, and slowly continues to grow as the scene moves on. Kylo Ren takes a seat beside General Hux, as Admiral Helmuth moves in front of them with pointing stick.

ADMIRAL HELMUTH

This map shows the possible places where the rebels may have gone, assuming that they are still in hyperspace.

(He taps a console, the sphere convulses and moves in a chaotic, spiky, nearly algorithmic fashion, vastly reducing its size as points flicker in and out of possibility)

Factoring out imperial worlds under our control, approaching battle fleets, as well as weighting renegade and criminal worlds, we can illustrate this area of possibility…

(GENERAL HUX and KYLO REN lookat the map as it changes, their eyes dotting and looking as the likeliest locations spike briefly, before moving to yet another system. They stand up, moving slowly around the map as it eventually moving to point out in four spires towards the most likely systems. The camera slowly moves around the hologram, giving it 360 degree perspective)

ADMIRAL HELMUTH

The computer reports Felucia, Havandir, Herii, and Crait to be possible candidates. Though, it is safe to assume that Crait has been abandoned by the Resistance. Vice Admiral Herman has the 4th fleet moving towards our co-ordinates, and can be sent to intercept at Herii… So, I would like to hear your inputs as to what we should do, and I will give my own.

KYLO REN

I will go assemble the Knights of Ren, we will go and hunt out Rey, and make her pay for destroying so much of the First Order.

(HELMUTH raises a brow)

GENERAL HUX

Well, if it's all the same to you Admiral, considering that we have three destinations and three targets to expect, I believe we should split the fleet. I will take a majority of the star destroyers, obviously your strategic sense can allow you to operate with less. I am still new to fleet command, and as you might know I am more familiar with ground combat.

(HELMUTH nods, opening his mouth for a brief moment before speaking)

ADMIRAL HELMUTH

Very well, I am willing to help mend your handicap. Be sure to engage with their ship at close range, but keep the star destroyers spread out to avoid unexpected consecutive rammings or strange area of affect blasts. I will take the Vengeance, Scowl, and Tarkin star destroyers, these are in decent condition, and I leave the ships in best repair to you.

(HELMUTH turns to Kylo)

I ask that you take a transmitter along with you, as you know these Jedi, despite their petty faith, are always filled with tricks. When you believe you have cornered her, tell me, I will send reinforcements as soon as possible.

(He steps back lightly, looking to the two with a nervous expression, his confidence in question throughout his entire plan)

Are we clear gentlemen?

(Simultaneously)

KYLO REN

Yes, Admiral Helmuth.

GENERAL HUX

Yes, Supreme Ruler Helmuth.

(The camera moves away slowly, showing the silhouettes of Kylo and Hux from behind their seats, concealed and judging. The blue glow of the hologram illuminates Helmuth's face for a picturesque view.

The image slowly fades to darkness, dots of light forming stars into transition to space)
