Alright, I put the following directly after the Knights of Ren scene I wrote from the previous chapter. I forgot about this scene, so when I saw it I knew it had to go back in, but it didn’t fit in the next chapter. I made a few modifications to it, namely to preserve the Chewie reveal, but I also threw in a reference to Vader dialog. If it’s too overt I’ll remove it:
General Armitage Hux and a handful of other executive officers strode down a hallway of the Steadfast. They approached their Supreme Leader with some good news. Hux had been intending on delivering it first, but he was beat to it.
“Sir,” Allegient General Pryde said. “The Knights of Ren have tracked down the scavenger.”
“To the capital of Kijimi,” Admiral Griss added quickly.
“They’re searching there now,” Pryde said.
Hux needed to insert himself before his peers had delivered all the good news. He asked, “Shall we destroy the city, Supreme-”
Ren stuck a long finger in Hux’s face, using the Force to freeze his vocal chords in place.
“Set a course for Kijimi,” he commanded everyone. “I want no capital disintegrations.”
His words dismissed them all, and Kylo Ren hurried off alone. Hux stood with his hands clasped behind his back and watched him go, wondering how he always managed to say the wrong thing.
