[Hux appears to be resting back in some hotel room, looking exhausted and bored at the same time. He's wearing his uniform despite it being tattered and blood stained, refusing to wear regular clothing.]

It would seem that some point during the middle of the Storms....I went home. I am not ready to discuss what happened back there. [Hux can't help but suppress a shudder at the thought.] I had been among the Drift Fleet and Agra 10 for quite some time so it seemed strange to suddenly go back home.

It was also jarring to wake up in a strange hospital on a planet called Risa? When did we travel here? I have missed quite a bit....

Altair, I apologize for leaving so soon. I know you had been busy working at the hospital. Is Millicent okay? I'm sure she must have been distraught of my absence. I'm glad she didn't go home with me.

[Tattered clothing. Blood. He looks okay, and yet... Those two things, along with his words. To say Altair is worried would be an understatement.]

Where are you? Can I come see you?

[He knows his distress has to be obvious, but...] I... Don't know where Millicent is, I'm afraid. I went home, too.

I can find her, though.

Some hotel.....I'm not sure what it's called. The hospital sent me here after I had been healed.

...You had went home too? Please, stop by and thank you.

video - action;

[kallig]

I did. We can talk more when I'm with you.

[Video clicks off, and it doesn't take entirely too long before there's a knock at Hux's door.] Hux?

[Best to call out for him, to let him know that it's friend rather than foe.]

action;

[tiedonastring]

[Hux, tenses at the knock of his door, but relaxed immediately when he heard it was Altair. He knew it had to be Altair, but it was a reaction he couldn't hide regardless. He got out of his bed and made his way to unlock and open the door.]

Altair, it's good to see you. [He notes that Altair does look older and the fancy new outfit he's wearing.] It seems that you may have had better fate then I did.

action;

[kallig]

[Altair is sure his worry is plain to see. He's doing nothing to hide it, after all.]

Are you... [He looks him over.

He doesn't look hurt, but the blood and the tattered clothing, of course Altair's thoughts are going to the worst possible conclusion.] I...

Should I not ask what happened? [He's worried and he's... Angry that Hux had gotten hurt and he wasn't there to protect him from it. Angry at himself, even if he knows it was outside of his control.]

action;

[tiedonastring]

[He shut the door behind them and lead them over to a chair. He hesitantly placed a hand along, Altair's cheek for a brief moment before dropping his hand back to his side.]

I know what you're thinking, Altair. There's nothing you could have done. By right's I shouldn't be alive....but I suppose the Agri believed they could still use me. [His expression darkened a bit as he frowned.] So that's the only reason why I'm here. Granted I don't understand why when I failed in everything I had set out to aim for.

action;

[kallig]

I should have been there. I should have...

[But it's not up to them, is it? They can't do anything.

Whether they stay or they go, live or die, it's all up to the Agrii. It's unfair. And he's angry. So very, very angry. But this isn't about him, so he'll work his anger out on his own time. All that matters is supporting Hux.] I'm sorry you had to go through what you went through alone.

[He reaches out as though to grab a hold of his hand, hesitates, and lets it drop back to his side. Best to let Hux be the one to initiate any physical contact.]

action;

[tiedonastring]

I lost everything to that man child. I watched what I built and worked hard for be turned into some kind of twisted and dark monster....

[He clinched his fists and looked away. There was a pause before he made an effort to turn the subject.]

But you...it seems like you have fared well.

Video

[theoriginalmimic]

[ Calvin grinned at the video. Seeing that man was nothing new, but the note to Altair? That made a difference to him. Altair had saved his life, and as far as he was concerned, anyone who was his friend was someone Calvin was willing to befriend. So he flipped on the video and give a little wave to the screen. He himself was outside, wandering around, so his video was moving a little in the background. ]

Hi! Welcome to the planet. I'm a new arrival. I think I must have arrived after you were taken away. The name's Calvin. Altair, he patched me up with some help from the others. I was in the hospital until we got brought here, so I can't really tell you much, but we've been here for only a couple of days.

I hope that you get to enjoy your stay here.

Seems a little nicer than the storm and the ruins, and everyone here is really friendly. Which is almost scarier than if they were not...

[tiedonastring]

......

[Hux blinked back a little surprised by such a cheerful greeting. The new face didn't bother him too much. Granted, it was rare someone new would introduce themselves to him.]

Altair is a very good caretaker. He took on the job when he saw that the hospital lacked help.

I haven't had the chance to explore this new planet yet....but it does seem to be more up to speed with what I'm used to dealing with.

Re: Video

[theoriginalmimic]

He is.

[ Calvin grins widely. ]

I hope you enjoy yourself. It seems a very nice place so far.

[Does Poe look concerned? If it's not obvious by his expression than the fact that he doesn't tease or make jokes should make it plain enough.]

...What happened?

[Private Video]

[tiedonastring]

.......

I became a mole for your people. I lost everything to the man child. And the First Order was becoming something else entirely....There was an army...I wasn't aware of forming behind my back. I was meant to take the downfall for everything.

[There was a long pause as Hux closed his eyes. It almost seemed as he was done talking, but he opened them once more.]

I wanted to see him loose everything as he had taken everything from me. It also just didn't feel right with where things were going. What I had wanted....verses what was going on were two different things.

[Private Video]

[happybeeps]

[...a mole? For the Resistance?....General Hux???? Even after all they've been through here, Poe really can't wrap his head around that.]

What???

That's-...I'm going to need you to back up. What do you mean you became a mole?? You're working with us??

[Private Video]

[tiedonastring]

[Hux pursed his lips slightly frustrated with having to explain himself again. It was already difficult to talk about and he wasn't exactly ready to fully discuss it. Altair had been the only one he was comfortable discussing the situation to.]

I started to deliver relevant information to your people when ever I could get a hold of it. I had to send it to other people to bring it to you in an attempt to keep it from getting traced back to me.

--

I told you things weren't great between me and the man child. The man child took everything away from me once he became the Supreme Leader. Prior to him Snoke had been my support....but even then that had been thin toward the end. With Kylo Ren I lost everything and it went to General Pryde.

I'm honestly not sure why he even kept me around when he had aside from making me a visible example of what not to do....

[He bowed his head and looked away from the camera as he tried to block out fleeting images of Kylo Ren joining them in the conference room with his remade helmet and the table was the head of the person Hux had sent the information to.]

[Private Video]

[happybeeps]

[Poe didn't mean to look so skeptical, but it was difficult to believe the Hux back home, the one who hadn't lived through any of this, would possibly offer aid to the Resistance, no matter what the circumstances. But then there was the bloodstained uniform, and Poe could guess well enough how it had ended. How it usually ends for spies and double agents.]

Was it worth it?

[Private Video]

[tiedonastring]

[He couldn't believe all those questions that Poe was asking him. The skepticism, he could understand to a degree....but what more could he do or say to prove to him? He was already not in the best place to discuss the war and yet Poe was trying to push the topic and get more information. He began to wonder if it had been worth his sacrifice in the end to help them.]

.......

I'm done talking.

[He then promptly ended the video.]

[stillgotmyleftarm]

We've got your cat. She's all right - I can get her back to you if I can pry her away from Steve.

[tiedonastring]

That is a relief to know. I had a feeling she would go to someone she would know and I believe you two had taken care of her before. Thank you for looking after her.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Yeah, she's been behaving herself, no problem.

We haven't been here long. Just a coupla days. You doing all right?

[tiedonastring]

I'm here? [Hux gave a slight shrug.]

There's a lot I'm trying to process.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Yeah. Better here than Agra 10, but the whole being kidnapped all over again's probably not ideal.

[tiedonastring]

Yes, I don't think my injuries would have been properly healed at Agra 10 as they were here. I consider this a blessing to a point.

--[Private]

My life at home exists no more, which leads me to some questions to why I'm here. Is this a reward? Or a punishment?

Private

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Wait - you're dead back home, is that what you're saying?

Private

[tiedonastring]

Yes...

Things got messy really fast....I lost everything so I started giving information toward Poe's people. They found out.
