[Video Post] Back on Agra Vacation Time Over.

[Hux is sitting in front of a table back at the Power Plant. He's tinkering with various wires and droid part with the attempt of building a new droid. He wasn't heavily focused on the project. It was more to keep himself occupied as he tried to sort out what he wanted to say. He did think about blocking the post from a couple of people, but at this point he didn't care. Eventually people would learn and it was better to hear it from the exact source. When he does speak he doesn't look at the camera and he talks in a soft and hesitant tone.]

How does one redefine their person? Even while among Drift Fleet and here for a time being --I had always clung to my title as General. I also always knew that I was the face of the First Order. It was something I knew I had to return to when I was home.

As much as it pains me to admit....I no longer have the title or any title for that matter. It's just....Hux. The military and First Order had been the only life I had known. I had been taken from my mother to serve the First Order's needs as my father helped form it. Only to learn the ultimate plans later and what First Order's real plans were... In everything we had worked hard for and did...in the end we were just a simple pawn in the grand scheme of things. Even a military can be expendable.

I at least have my engineering skills to use and find some purpose. But that feels very trivial in light of how my life had been. I'm aware that others are probably struggling with the same thing to varying degrees. It's a hard thing to adjust to. I wouldn't mind hearing what you have chosen to do.

[ Jon settles with an audio response, given that he doesn't really see the need to show himself not looking at the camera directly while he busies himself with some notes of his own. It feels less rude that way to him. ]

Greetings, Mister Hux. I'm Jonathan Sims. I may not be familiar with the military group you speak of or have experience with even being in the military myself, but I want to believe that I have a semblance of experience if it comes to... Well. Rather drastic changes in a person's life.

In that regard I want to point out that you are doing well with having taken the first step of moving on and finding a new purpose for yourself. For some, that turns out to be the hardest part. Change... Can be difficult.

[ There's a short pause here. ]

If you ask how I myself have been dealing with being here... Well. I was a researcher before becoming The Archivist and I feel like I am drifting back into research here. Studying the Agrii as best as possible under our current circumstances. Though I can't say I terribly mind that we have finally left Risa. It was a useful stay, yes. But if I want to study what they left behind, I can rather do that here.

Sometimes...it's difficult redefining yourself. It's even harder when all you've ever known just suddenly...

[Gets destroyed.]

...changes.

Titles aren't much, but everything that comes with them, those still stay with you. If you can repurpose yourself, find new uses for the skills you have, then I think it makes it easier. Everything else will fall into place.

[Keith immediately resonated with what Hux was saying. To lose something that had essentially become your entire life was hard. So, he went looking for his friend to see if he was okay.]

[He can be found in the power planet working in his make shift office/home with in it. A familiar mouse droid will escort Keith to Hux if needed.]

True, titles aren't much. Yet, I had worked long and hard to achieve the title and everything that went with it. It wasn't easy. Even though my father was one of the founders for the military organization, I just wasn't granted everything.

How can we repurpose our self here when we don't even know our full purpose for being on Agra 10?

I appreciate your vote of confidence.....Jonathan Sims. I am barely coming to such terms with it myself. It was difficult to even admit it or even make such an announcement.

When I first arrived here, I made it a point to get the Power Plant up and running. I've been working on other projects once we got the plant working. I suppose that I am just used to having a bigger goal to work toward.

[A nod.]

You had to earn it. But even if you didn't, you'd have built up experience. I guess you can look at it like a matter of shifting focus. Focus was in what you were for your title, but without the context to hold its meaning, you have to learn to focus on what you can do because you worked for that role.

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm still working on it too. I think lots of people are. But if we try to look at things too broadly, it'll be easier to feel lost.

The Agrii believe we can help them. I don't know how possible that is, and it's hard to believe when they're not even around. But we're not the only ones here, so we can help each other, and in doing that, it'll help with restoring this place a little. And maybe the Agrii will learn to open up more to us.

Yet, they hide somewhere else and supply us with their ruined city that we have to repair. On top of that given barely working tech and supplies to work with. While they were capable of sending us to a planet with civilization and high tech for a....vacation.

[He takes a deep breath in an attempt to curve his building anger at the whole situation.]

I had everything taken away from me at home. [Including his life...but Hux didn't say that out loud.] How do they expect me to be capable of doing what they want?

They don't seem to understand...a lot, really. They seem to be trying very hard though. I know it's frustrating, but at this point, we don't have too much of a choice to do otherwise than survive.

[Cal falls silent, listening. He hears you, Hux. He really does.]

...I know how that is. Everything I knew was taken away from me too. ...only recently I started to find my footing again, but my last experience before I was brought here...

[He shakes his head.]

I think I'm just using being here as a distraction from it. From what happened. If I think about it too much it'd be too easy to see things here as being just as lost as ever.

Yes, I'm being a bit harsh. I understand that they are trying to understand and help us. I just prefer more direct answers instead of vague answers that aren't answers.

Instead of being a pawn in one game...I'm now a pawn in another game.

I helped get the Power Plant up an running. I'm trying to make adjustments so it can run better along with other projects that people have requested. It's just feels so trivial to what I am used to working with.

Direct answers would be favorable. I guess I'm used to vague answers where you're supposed to figure things out on your own.

[His lips twitch in a mirthless smile as he shrugs.]

Hey, power's important. Actually, since I'll assume because of it you've got a better understanding of how things that require power should work, maybe I should ask you for some pointers.

At least your skills seem to be very useful and needed in a place such as this. And it appears I must thank you for the work you have already put into the power plant. That's a good place to start when the goal seems to be rebuilding an entire city - If not even planet.

[ For which he still can't really see himself to be much help. ]

May I ask about those other projects?

Hrmmmm. You're not a Force user are you? You just sound like one.

[He narrows his eyes a bit mainly due to the fact most of his experience with people using the Force hasn't been great....but then Altair has been proving to change that around. So now he's just hesitant.]

I'll do my best. I'm still learning as well how things work.

[That actually gets a brief laugh from him. Well, no sense in hiding it, he supposes. He scratches the back of his head.]

...guilty as charged.

Every little bit'll help, I think.

My main project is working on a hydroponics systems to go into the holds of the ships. One of our people requested it and I believe that it will be useful when we begin to travel more often. The others are mainly trying to update the systems in the Power Plant and making things easier for the town here.

My partner is a Force user and I've worked among Force users....so I can usually get an idea if someone is one.

Well then feel free to ask away. I'll see what I can do to help.

Are they common ...whenever you're from?

I will, once something comes to mind. Right now I'm just readjusting to being back here, getting things sorted out.

No.....It seems people are bent on trying to get rid of anyone whose a Force user and using one with the Force to get them, etc.... The other wanted to wipe out the entire human population. It's one big mess that's bent on repeating itself.

My partner I met from here, oddly enough. I suppose it's the one good thing of having come to this place.

[Cal grimaces at that.]

...yeah. I've learned that from experience.

Are you speaking of Altair? Unless there are other Force users here... I haven't met any aside from him.

[Hux gave a node and a small smile at the mention of Altair.]

Yes.

There's another Force user....but that's one from my world unfortunately.... And the one that is used to hunt down other Force users. I would avoid him at all costs.

[But of course there is. Cal frowns.]

Noted. I'm going to take a guess and assume it's the only other person who's mentioned the First Order over the network recently.

[Two months is recent, right? It's only as long as Cal's been, anyway.]

Yes, that'll be the idiot.

Well, idiot or not, his sort of mindset makes him dangerous.

Thanks for the warning.

Hydroponics.

[ Maybe not his field, but. ]

I suppose that could be useful as well, yes. Though....

[ Aaaaand here he's a little reluctant to ask. ]

Do you believe it will be terribly likely that we are going to... Actually fly with those ships?

[ If there is one thing that Thrawn does know about it is redefining one's self. ]

The flaw in your thinking is that your position in that military to be what defines you. Military leadership is a journey, not a destination. If your skills are best suited to military leadership, it is possible that you may need to find another. On Agra-10 there is the possibility of finding another world entirely which was not available to you before.
