Author's Note: And then we had another chapter! Also, the Star Wars Battlefront 2 trailer leaked and I'm dying. It's fantastic and I can't wait to play it. And tomorrow is the first day of the Star Wars Celebration so hopefully, fingers crossed, we get a trailer!

But this story! Let's get to it! Remember to review, tell me if you love it, hate it, idk just say hi to me I guess!

Disclaimer: Yup. Still don't own Star Wars and make no money off of any of the things I do.

The 100's seemed lacking in every horrifying detail Ash could have imagined, or dared to imagine thanks to her team. They seemed rather ordinary say for a busier traffic in the halls. She noticed more Storm Troopers and more uniforms than any other level. No monsters or ghouls that could rip her to shreds, everything seemed disappointingly average.

With the help of the data pad, Ash found the bland and uninteresting black door that lead to a slightly more interesting room. The room was another control room; its prime functions were to help assist the base with energy and preventing power failures and forming fail safes. Just as Sid has instructed, a hollowed console sat before her. Her job blatantly clear as she wandered to the utility closet and rummaged for the supplies.

Sid was rather neat when it came to supplies; everything was accounted for and wrapped neatly for Ash to dissect as needed. More and more she was realizing that Sid was an obvious control freak. That fact only becoming more obvious when the data pad vibrated with a message asking:

'Everything okay?' – Sid Ash just rolled her eyes and replied she was safe from the big, bad 100's level and now beginning her work. Another message came through; 'Smartass :] ' – Sid. Ash laughed and began her work.

At times, Kylo Ren was convinced his presence on StarKiller was more of a scare tactic than to actually command anything. Anywhere he'd go, people moved. The sense of power and being in charge was intoxicating, at first. Today, however, it was slightly annoying. Then again, what didn't annoy him lately?

Certain days he'd find ways to entertain himself when things were dull, like mess with the scared Troopers. Sometimes there was nothing to do but wait for updates on his search for Force sympathizers. Other times there was a ton of work and no time to do it. Today was more mundane. However, he didn't feel like tormenting the underlings. Instead, he wanted to pout over his stupid Force dreams lately and not face Supreme Leader Snoke. He didn't have a choice for the latter, however.

As he turned the corner towards the two large black sliding doors, he saw Hux standing idly by waiting. Hux hated going in there just as much as Ren did, unless he had good news to report. He had nothing. Neither one had anything to report.

Kylo Ren walked closer, Hux staring at the slots on Kylo Ren's helmet. Even though he couldn't directly share his glare with the man, he knew at least Kylo could see it. "Scared to go alone?" Ren asked, his mocking tone still heard in the distortion of his mask.

Hux's glare grew menacing as he exhaled deeply. "You know as well as I do that Supreme Leader is not going to be happy."

"Maybe you should have finished the base."

"Maybe you should have found Skywalker." Hux retorted, noticing Kylo's body visibly stiffen in reply. He had won that banter, he knew it. Hux would relish it later, however, the two men had more pressing matters to tend to; Snoke.

Without another word, the sliding doors opened and the men entered. Their fear masked by their need for power and respect as they entered the cavern and towards the large projection that already awaited them.

"You're late." His raspy voice echoed throughout the cavern as Kylo and Hux took their places before the large projection. Their humble and small frames slightly cowering before him as he spoke once more. "I expect my weekly reports on time."

Hux spoke first. "Yes, Supreme Leader. Forgive us for our tardiness. It will not happen again."

"See to it that it does not." He said disinterestedly as his focus turned to more pressing matters. "What of StarKiller?"

Kylo Ren had never been happier to wear his mask, the look of relief washing over him surely would not have impressed Snoke. Hux was forced to speak first, that gave Ren more time to think. "We have hired a new maintenance worker. She's very skilled in what she does—"

"Spare me the unnecessary details, General." Snoke snarled. "If my base running yet, or not?"

Hux swallowed hard, his tongue darting over his dry lips as he took a quick pause. "Soon." He offered. "We need a little more time.

Snoke's glare was intense, even as a projection. What made matters worse was when his glare subsided. "How disappointing." He said with little emotion. "As for you, Ren—" He began his focus on Kylo Ren now. "What is the status on finding Skywalker?"

Ren pursed his lips, reluctant to answer that he too had nothing to offer the Supreme Leader. "We have found more sympathizers in other systems, we have plans to send Phasma's troops to see what they can find."

"You mean to say that you have nothing to offer me?" Snoke asked greedily.

Ren exhaled deeply through his nostrils. "Nothing at this time, Supreme Leader."

Snoke moved forward now, leaning down just a little closer to the two men. "Gentlemen, we have once again had a meeting with little to no progress. If these tasks that I have given you are not something you can complete, I will look elsewhere. I expect results soon; I expect the base to be functioning and that we will have information on Skywalker. Is that clear?" The two men nodded only once as Snoke sat back again. The weight on their shoulders lessening slightly as the looming, darkness moved away from them. "That will be all." Snoke said dismissively before the hologram disappeared altogether.

Hux glanced sideways at Kylo before the two quickly turned on their heels and headed silently to the exit. It wasn't until they were safe beyond the doors to the cavern, Hux finally spoke. "I will see to it that the base is running by the end of next week." He said dryly. "See to it you can give Supreme Leader an answer on Skywalker."

Ren said nothing, his blood boiling in his veins as he simply stormed off. A need growing inside of him; the disappointment he felt from Supreme Leader was overwhelming. He needed to destroy something, anything.

Ash was finished almost three hours after she started. After attaching the last of the cables, she rolled out from under the console and stood over it with pride. As she pushed the main power button, the entire console lit with bright red and white lights. She was practically beaming at her handy work as she skipped over to the data pad and messaged Sid.

'Control room #15 is up and running, do you see it on the schematic?' – Ash

After a few moments, a reply came in. 'Control room #15 is showing full sustainability on my end. Great work, newbie.' – Sid.

With a satisfied smirk, Ash cleaned her workspace and it was time to head down to her quarters to cleanup. She had finished her days work and now she was ready to take a break. With data pad in hand, Ash left the control room and headed back down the uninteresting hallway and to the lifts.

As she entered the lift, the doors closed with a light hum. Ash leaned back against the wall, her head gently resting against it as she looked up at the white ceiling. Sure, she did a lot of work wiring one of the control rooms but, how many more were there to complete? What else had to be done to get this base up and running? From the looks of it, there was definitely a lot more coming her way. Not that she minded the work; she just didn't know if six months was really enough time.

Her data pad buzzed, causing Ash to jump. She looked down at the pad to see a new and disappointing message from Sid.

'Power went out in #15, maybe check the wiring again?' – Sid.

With a groan, Ash stopped the lift and sent it back up to the 100's. She was certain she had linked everything properly. Either there was faulty wiring or something within the main power grid was causing an issue. However, Sid didn't mention a whole base outage. 'How embarrassing…' Ash thought to herself as the lift door slid open.

Ash had a strange feeling as she exited the lift, the many people who had been around earlier were gone. The hallway felt empty; deserted even as she turned the corner to the control room. At that moment, she saw a figure marching down the hallway. He had definitely just come from the control room. With a quickened pace, Ash walked to the control room door and saw her hard work had been destroyed.

Large burn marks slashed across the console, sparks flying from the previously lit buttons. The beautiful colors spasm from the blow to the console. Ash saw red and without thinking, turned on her heel and out the console door. She looked down the hallway at the man who was stomping away and called out to him. "Excuse me?" She shouted, he stopped. With no fear and only lit by rage, Ash stormed down the hallway after him. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing? That console room was newly finished and now it's destroyed. What makes you think you have the right to do that?" She shouted.

The man turned to face her now, ready to attack, only to stop. He had seen her before; the girl from his Force dreams. Without another word and without truly realizing what he was doing, he held out his hand. Ash stopped moving, and soon found herself unable to breathe.

She gasped for a few moments, her vision fading more and more as an invisible hand wrapped around her throat. What the heck was happening to her? She had no idea. Ash began realize the monsters in the 100's were real. Sid had been right. It didn't matter now as she collapsed to the ground. He had let go but that didn't stop Ash from passing out altogether.

His helmet hid the shocked expression plastered on his face; he didn't move. She lied there, completely lifeless. Okay, she wasn't dead. He knew that. Her chest was rising and falling.

What was he supposed to do? This was the same face that had plagued his dreams, the same intruder. Who was she and how was she able to do this? Was she one of them? No, she wasn't. He couldn't sense anything in her that would say otherwise. She wasn't one of them. That was the only other certainty besides the fact that she wasn't dead. At least, it was somewhat of a start.

Now the panic set in as he looked around. No one had seen the exchange or the aftermath. So far, so good. However, he still had the passed out mechanic to deal with. Did he leave her there unconscious until someone else found her? He could most certainly pin her off to someone else. Right?
Wrong. Indubitably and disgustingly wrong as Kylo Ren growled, his voice distorter barely picking up the sound as he trudged over to the unmoving girl. He didn't have a choice, he had to bring her to the medical ward. His reasoning? Hux would kill him if the star mechanic was dead. Not to mention the amount of paperwork they'd have to file for the liability. By the stars, he could hear Hux complaining now. It wasn't worth it.

With ease, he picked up the dead weight of the mechanic and slung her over his shoulder before carrying her down to the medical ward; ignoring the awkward and terrified stares of his subordinates as he went.
