"15 Hours to go and the idiots won't do anything about it. Do I have to do everything around here?" Lau groaned as he entered the main control room. He looked around to see if anyone was there, unfortunately, there was.

Kylo Ren was adjusting some settings on the interface and the devices.

"What do you want trooper?" Kylo asked without turning round. He clearly sensed Lau's presence, but was unaware that it was him, so Lau played along, he stood up straight and saluted him.

"SIR! SOME STORMTROOPERS ARE ENTERING RESTRICTED ROOMS WITHOUT PERMISSION AND ARE RECONSTRUCTING ITEMS OF SIGNIFICANCE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR ROLES IN OUR FIGHT!" he shouted. Kylo turned around angrily as Lau hid his gun.

"WHAT?!" he shouted before dashing out of the room, leaving his renewed settings half-completed, Lau walked up to the controls, checked for the update on the heat-grabber (34.609% Complete), and then declared that he would punish Ren further by ruining his plans.

So he walked over to the controls and scanned the controls. He understood the changes Kylo made, so he released a devilish laugh and shut the doors behind him. For ages after he analysed the controls and memorized their original states, then messed them all up, broke a few of them and caused them to malfunction.

"Ren's good with controls, he should be able to fix this himself, but let's see how long it'll take him..." he muttered.
"...To figure out my password?" he finished demonically, before strolling happily out of the room.

MEANWHILE...

Han Solo's droid-friend walked into a room where he was sitting, hugging his warm cloak.

"I made coffee," he stammered, handing Han a hot beverage. Han looked up at him with teary eyes.

"This is all my fault, I should never have tested the distance, I only did it to see how much danger we were in," he sobbed, before gulping down the drink. He lasted about twenty seconds of swishing the drink around his smoke-filled mouth before violently spitting the whole thing out, soaking a nearby cupboard.

"I-Is the coffee not to your satisfaction sir?" the droid asked, feeling hurt.

"Sorry P-DB4, it's fine, I just couldn't handle the drink after the grit in my throat dissolved into it," Han said, hanging his head sadly. The droid (P-DB4) sat next to him and put his mechanical arm around him and Han lay his head on his shoulder, continuing to cry.

"It's not your fault master, nothing is your fault, this is all the work of an evil force competing against the Jedi Knights and the Resistance," P-DB4 explained.

"You're right, but it's my fault for making it worse. The truth is, I know exactly what that glowing beam is, but I can't say because it will terrify everyone who hears. It wouldn't if the beam had burnt out by now, but the fact that it's still emitting is a dangerous sign, I can't let that danger wreak havoc-" He wept.

"Well, sir, you can always tell me, you can tell me anything..." P-DB4 interrupted.

"Thanks P-DB4, I really appreciate the words of comfort, and please don't call me sir, but-" Han began, but something else interrupted him this time. Just out of nowhere, the whole building began to shake rapidly, things started to break and fall over, and then suddenly...

"EARTHQUAKE!" someone shrieked. Han and P-DB4 looked at each other in horror, and the ground beneath them cracked in half, quickly opening up.

The yellow glow emitting from Han's destroyed home began to shoot out in the form of rays of light all over the place from underground, while Han ran to the window, gasped, and shouted, "OH NO!"

Kylo Ren had been watching the whole time, and had observed the yellow glow blasting through the earth's surface very carefully. Just as it skimmed past the ship, he turned around and faced the entire fleet of Stormtroopers other than Lau and laughed evilly.

"It's time my good men and women, now is the perfect moment to strike! Let us engage in war, for the good of the whole galaxy before it burns! Go my friends, and kill every last one of the Jedi scum!" Kylo roared all throughout the hall, and was supported by hundreds of thousands of "YEAH!"s and "WOO!"s and all that cheery stuff, before the stormtroopers, well, STORMED out of the hall and got into their flight pods before journeying down to the surface of the planet below.

The whole time this happened, however, Lau had been watching Kylo's every diabolical move from a interior balcony above, and waited until the end of the ceremony to make a move. As the stormtroopers left, he ran out and proceeded to seek and enter his flight pod, followed by the entire First Order, he made his way down, clutching onto his gun nervously.

"This is it... this is really it..." he whispered excitedly.

"The Last Stretch, The Final Frontier, The Only Remaining Straw..." he continued.

"LET'S DO IT!" he concluded by screaming.
