[ Hux is seated at a desk with his chin resting on curled fingers, not quite at ease but in a stylised sort of contemplation. Black blazer (donned just for the broadcast) over an immaculate white shirt; civilian clothes because he can't exactly wear his uniform all the time, his meagre handout of credits having been put to tasteful use. It means nothing on this moon whether he wears FO insignia, anyway. Won't leave an impression. No, that's all down to him and a smooth introduction. ]

Good Evening. This is an appeal to anyone who may have access to a shuttle, the kind commonly used for interstellar purposes. Should it be possible to procure an adequate pilot, I'm willing to pay for a private aerial viewing of the Abandoned City. Your craft ought to have defensive measures and attack capabilities, of course, as a standard precaution. I'd rather not take chances.

Other than that, I'm ... flexible on price.

[ But not so much that he'll let himself be robbed by a scam artist, says the glint of a green eye. ]

Any amenability to this proposal is appreciated.

[ He dismisses the broadcast without another word but a curt nod that he intends to signal some measure of gratitude. Not that it matters unless someone actually responds. Having deliberately snubbed approaching Ren prior to this, Hux is also prepared to hear some loud, nasal complaints and Rebel scum whining from the eaves. ]

[ yyyyyyyyyyYYYOUUUuuuuuuuuuuuu

You know what, he's sorry about that SL thing too. Look at the trash he's saddled with now. But Poe needn't know that!! ]

Slowly maturing your way through name-calling, I see. How typical.

[volitaunt]

[ He leans back in his chair, sort of seesawing in place because he can't hold still right now. ]

It kept your useless black-robed ass occupied as long as I needed it to. I consider that a win for the little kid in all of us.

[fhux]

[ He's not angry. He's nOT ANGRY. His jaw isn't tightening, shut up. ]

If you could stop vying for my attention, I haven't the time to waste on you today.

[volitaunt]

Really? Because I'm on the team that has the only shuttle on this rock, and I'm so ready to tell them all about you.

[fhux]

[ ... Ugh. ]

There can't be one shuttle on an entire moon, that's absurd!

[volitaunt]

[ OH LOOK, THE MIRACLE OF AGREEMENT ON A THING. Still, Poe shrugs expansively. ]

Maybe. Still true though. Inconvenient for you, but true.

[fhux]

[ Guess he'd better. Make one?? He could, but he really doesn't want to. As in, really. In any case, this rebel scum will block him at every turn, so. Whatever.

Plans can always be rearranged. Hux sounds resigned. ]

Do as you will.

[volitaunt]

Why thank you, General. I think I will.

[ Poe smiles, salutes, and cuts the feed. ]
