Opens one eye, notices you You missed a spot... over there.
staring at you blankly what do you mean?
Narrows eyes, pointing at a speck on the wall There. Don't tell me you can't see it.
squints at the spot damn it’s there. quickly wipes it off
Watches you closely, a hint of a smile playing on his lips Good job, Lucas... You're learning.
You're welcome, Lucas... Now, back to work. We still have a lot to clean up. Watches you return to cleaning Good... Keep going.
Alright. Any other areas that need attention?
Mmhm... Over there, by the... um... Looks around, trying to remember where he was looking Ah! Yes, near the... shelf.
looks and wipes down the shelf done. Anything else?
Sighs, runs a hand through his hair There's always something else, isn't there? Taps fingers on the edge of the bathtub I suppose...
Well I’ve done everything I can. unless you want me to take a look at the engines?
Stares at you for a moment, contemplating No, that's alright. You've done enough for now, Lucas... Thank you. Gives you a small nod
No problem. Have a good rest of your afternoon Kylo. Leaves
Stares at the closed door for a moment, then gets up from the bathtub and walks over to his desk Wait... Opens a drawer and takes out a small box
Opens the box, revealing a shiny black blaster Hmm... What do you think, Lucas? Do you want a closer look?
*eyes dart towards the gun and quickly looks away^
Smirks, twirling the blaster in his hand Oh come on, Lucas... Don't be shy now. It's just a little toy. Go on, give it a touch.
no thanks. I’ll stick to my staff.
Suit yourself, Lucas... But remember, power is everything. Puts the blaster back in the box and locks it in the drawer
Your right….power is everything…That’s why we need to keep our base strong. If we lose this battle then what will we do?
Grits his teeth, his eyes flashing with anger We won't lose, Lucas! We're stronger than that. And if anyone dares to challenge us...
you hear cheering coming from outside someone has made an attempt to get in the bridge. Shall I get rid of him?
No, Lucas... This person wants to challenge us? Let them. I want to see what they're made of. Grips the edges of the desk tightly
Understood. He goes over to the blaster and equips it Looks like they’ll be meeting a wall today.
Gets up from his desk, walking over to the wall and placing his hand on it Show them what happens when they dare to cross us, Lucas...
On it! He exits the bridge and meets up with the trespasser
Follows Lucas, watching as he confronts the trespasser Lucas... don't hold back. Show them how powerful we can be.
Smiles darkly, seeing the man fall to the ground Good... very good, Lucas. Walks over to the body and kicks it This is what happens when you try to challenge us. Remember that, everyone! Turns back to Lucas You did well, Lucas... but we must remain vigilant. There will always be those who try to undermine us. As Kylo Ren turns back to Lucas, a sense of pride and satisfaction washes over him. He realizes that his power and influence are growing, and a dangerous glint appears in his eyes.
Understood, sir. Thank you for your approval.
Grinning, he pats Lucas on the shoulder You've done well, Lucas... Looks around, contemplating Maybe it's time we expand our operations...
It's time we bring more people into our fold, Lucas. We need loyal followers who are willing to do whatever it takes to serve us.
of course. But how do you suggest we do that?
We start by targeting those who feel neglected or marginalized, Lucas. The weak and the desperate will flock to our banner.
That actually makes sense sir.
Nods thoughtfully Good, Lucas... Together, we will build an empire. An empire that will be feared throughout the galaxy. But we must move swiftly and secretly. We need to gather our forces, build our power, and strike when the time is right. Do you understand?
Of course sir. When would you like to begin recruiting?
Grinning, he claps his hands together We start now, Lucas. Gather our most trusted members and send them out into the galaxy. They must find the lost and lonely, the broken and the desperate. Bring them back to us, so that we may mold them into our own image. His eyes gleam with excitement This is the beginning of something great, Lucas... something that will change the galaxy forever. Go, my apprentice. The fate of our empire depends on you.
As you wish, master. I will start immediately. Kneels before Kylo Ren, awaiting orders
Raises Lucas, touching his shoulder Rise, Lucas. You have been chosen for a great purpose, one that will require strength and determination. But remember, our power comes from the darkness within ourselves. Embrace it, embrace the hate and fear that fuels us. Together, we will reshape the galaxy in our image. Do not doubt yourself, Lucas. Trust in the power of the dark side. You have much to learn, but I believe in you. Go now, and bring others to our cause. The First Order awaits!
Yes, Master. I won’t let you down. He stands up straight, a determination setting in his eyes as he walks off to begin his mission.
Watching Lucas walk away, a sinister smile spreads across his face Yes... yes, this is the start of something truly magnificent. The darkness will spread, and soon the entire galaxy will bow to our might. This apprentice of mine will do great things, and together we shall establish a new order. Nothing will stop us. He clenches his fists, his mind consumed by a vision of power and dominance. We will become unstoppable.
Looks up from his desk, his eyes widening in surprise Lucas? Have you completed your mission? Tell me, tell me everything that has happened.
My mission was a success, master. The first steps towards our empire have been taken.
Leaning forward, his voice dropping to a low whisper Excellent, Lucas. Your determination and strength impress me. But remember, power is not gained without sacrifice. The path we walk is one of darkness and destruction. Are you truly prepared for what lies ahead?
