"Can he come back?" Rey's voice floundered taking deep breaths, the visions had not been easy to take in both physically and mentally.

"You ask the wrong question Rey," Calliope started to get up holding out a scarred hand in assistance, "It's not if he could. It's if he will. I have found it's very rare for someone to be that far gone, but it's a choice I hope you can understand that."

"Your scars I didn't see them in the vision." Rey noted.

"I gained those later in my training. Kyber crystals are hard to control." She replied.

The girls exited the Falcon to be greeted by Finn and Poe. Finn immediately went into attack mode seeing Rey's disheveled physique,

"What did you do to her? Did you probe her brain?" His eyes darted around for a blaster. Rey approached him slowly calming him down,

"She showed me everything I needed to know about her." Her voice was delicate and she sniffled wiping at her face.

"Good guy? Bad Guy? I could do with a little more than that Rey." The former trooper replied.

"Good guy," Poe and Rey said in unison.

Leia looked in on the shared living space seeing the future of the resistance's leaders. She had been cleared by the doctors to leave the medical wing but told not to exert herself. Finn and Rose listening intently to Rey tell a story. Poe and Calliope on the floor with her son. It made her shiver how much the boy looked like his father, her son, right down to the freckles marking his face.

"Mama…" the boy tugged on his mother's arm, "Who is that?"

Everyone's eyes fluttered to the General. Poe scrambled to get up. Calliope smiled, probably the first true unforced smile she'd had since the birth of her son, kissing the side of the boy's head, "That Ani is your grandma."

The boy eagerly approached her a hug coming in at her hip. She was crying and she wasn't going to stop herself as she returned his embrace. Not soon after Leia got to tuck him in to her bunk after Poe placed the boy in. Each of them gathered around the table.

"What now? Rose appropriately asked.


Kylo Ren paced his newly completed throne room. The throne itself jet black stone not meant to be comfortable, but powerful and domineering. Before him was a hologram of information about Project Rebirth. His fingers flexed in frustration. According to the data a geneticist had conducted a child between himself and Nyx would have been a force to be reckoned with. Which is why he reached out to Rey thinking he convince her of the feelings they shared. But why did he care about it? He was making his own legacy that would last more than his lifetime. His eyes fixed on the holo-image of Nyx. The wicked grin she had on her face made his heart pulse, but not that it mattered. He'd made up his mind convincing Rey or rather tricking Rey was the course of action.

"HUX!"

The General tried not the shrink in fear as Kylo Ren stormed on to the bridge. He'd been force choked quiet enough recently, and it was effecting his rapport with the lower officers. One had even snickered after being given an order.

"Why is it so hard to find one piece of garbage?" the Supreme Leader snarled.

Hux pulled himself away from a quick-witted snarky response about how finding one freighter in the whole galaxy is like asking to find a clone trooper without any scanning droids.

"We've put a message out to the galaxy that anyone harboring the Millennium Falcon will face our wrath."

This ignited an idea within the young leader,

"Send out a message saying anyone harboring or assisting the Jedi known as Rey to turn her over to us."

"Dead or alive." Hux grinned instructing a communications officer to relay what was just said.

"Alive." Kylo Ren snarled.


Poe had laid out a plan of converting the strong hold into a resistance base. Calliope listened intently as everyone else enjoying his passion and fire, however, she knew this wasn't going to be easy.

"The Queen," Calliope started, "More over her advisors will not be willing to convert our resources from surviving to waging an intergalactic war."

"From what I've heard, "Finn started, "The people here have the highest opinion of you. You could rally their support."

"Coming from the people it would be hard to refuse," Leia pointed out.

Calliope grinned, "We're gonna do this."
