[Poe appears to be in one of the ships, trusting the locks to keep Kylo Ren out. He's sitting cross legged, quickly turning the camera to face his newest acquisitions, a cobbled together droid, similar to the boxy simple design of a MSE-droid, and painted to match BB-8's colours. BB-8 seems very curious about his new companion, nudging it and giving a series of cheerful beeps.]

We've got a new friend here who needs a name. Anyone have any ideas?

[That earns a kind laugh.]

Clearly I shouldn't.

[He arches a brow then, clearly more curious than he's prepared to let on.]

You've seen him?

Yes. I've also seen what he could do. Altair has told me what Sith can be like and I'm not surprised. I don't think Kylo Ren will take kindly of me next time...but I'm prepared for it.

My Grand Admiral's told me a few stories of Lord Vader. He had put Lord Vader in his place when he tried to get out of hand on his ship and managed to convince him to do a few things he normally wouldn't have done. The two of them had worked together to help find some missing Chiss children.

Ren's not Sith. But it's a good approximation. He's not what I would call forgiving. Or patient. If you try him he may end you then and there.

[Poe really can't imagine anyone putting Vader in his place, that's...]

Really?

So there are variations then? I wasn't aware....I only knew of Jedi and Sith...

Then I'll probably just avoid him as much as possible. Hopefully he doesn't use my kitchen for food.

Yep. He tried to threaten his people and Thrawn wouldn't have it. He pointed out that he would punish his own people his way. He also stated that Vader was a guest and not the one in control of the ship.

I wish I had been there to see that. Our poor Commodore was not too thrilled.

The Jedi and Sith are gone. There's only a small handful of force users left.

He seems to have more than enough for himself, provided he doesn't destroy it.

Pity his grandson didn't inherit that poise.

Interesting to learn.

----

By grandson are we referring to your Kylo Ren?

I am.

I wish I had been wrong. Sounds like no one is learning from history it seems.

It's complicated. He wasn't always like this.

Sounds similar then. You think there's hope for him?

...I don't know. I want to believe that. For his mother's sake. But...I'm not sure he's still in there.

Perhaps, this place might help.

It does seem to be a place for second chances.

One can only hope....but he'll be a tough guy from what I could gather. He doesn't seem to like change.

Very tough. Even if we had blasters...I don't think we could take him.

[Poe's tried.]

That's good to note, but regardless I would stand by your side on this.

...I appreciate it.

[Even more so given he was dragged to this place only moments after learning that no one had come to answer their distress call. And here was Eli, ready to make that stand.]

I'm sorry for before, Eli.

It's the least I can do to amend for my military's mistakes.

There are plenty of people who didn't believe in the Empire who wouldn't have the courage to stand up to them. I think it says more that you do.

Perhaps, but you're part of that spark that gets people like me to stand up for the right cause.

[That earned a certain pang in Poe's chest, remembering his own words on the subject, like an echo in his mind. We are the spark, that'll light the fire, that will burn The First Order down. It didn't seem to have worked out that way. No one came. The spark burned out. But maybe there was still hope.]

I need you alive. So don't go doing anything selfless just yet.

Don't go dying on me either.

I'm hard to kill. I've slipped through his fingers before. Don't you worry.

Right....Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
