Natalie's POV

I finally was able to make it into the room where they kept the things anyone would have carried with them that could pose as a use to the First Order. No one was guarding it, which was odd, but then it was night time. The place was packed head to toe in random junk. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack. A comlink with an orange line. I saw pretty much everything in the entire galaxy in there, when I realized it was sectioned in two, one side for things taken from Resistance soldiers, to other things from people the First Order wanted. Then those sections were divided into decades. 

I started with the recent things. There was everything but comlinks. I made my way all the way back to the time of the Empire when a sliver of orange caught my eye. I bent over and picked up a comlink with a single orange faded stripe. Pocketing it I made my way back to my quarters before sticking it in a drawer and then clambered into bed. How would I tell Lea and the rest that I needed help? I knew the exact way to, and it would be subtle enough for the naked eye to look it over, but I know lea would see it and know exactly what I needed. 

I woke up to my uniform at the end of my bed. The form-fitting black jacket with my decorations was smoothed out next to the black fitting pants and black boots. A red First order symbol on my right shoulder. Then, I took my black gloves and put them on. There was a golden ring with the First Order symbol on it, and that is what I would use as my symbol. After some tinkering, I would be able to switch it in morse code to the Rebellion symbol. Finally, I tried to put make-up on over the black around my eye but it was useless. Putting on my hat, I went out to meet Ben at the stage where I was to broadcast my message to the entire galaxy. 

"This is General Madam Ren, with my news to all of the galaxy."  

POE'S POV

People gathered around the small monitor, with the large hologram of Natalie standing on a stage in the uniform of a general of the first order. "I told you she couldn't be trusted." someone whispered. "Did she really join them again?" someone else wondered. I just stood in awe. Lea sent her alone into the Finalizer. "What is she doing?" Someone asked loudly. "What do you mean?" Someone asked what the other had meant. "Oh my god." Lea said. "Get me a pen and paper quickly," she ordered. Then she started writing a series of dots and lines on a piece of paper.

"Oh my god." I laughed. She was using morse code. What a genius. "Sonnova bitch." I whispered.  Lea read aloud the morse code. "I NEED HELP THEY HAVE ME PLEASE HELP."  "That's it?" I wondered. "No, hey Lea, uh they are going to kill me or anything? The message she sent us could be a trap, seeing how vague it is." People nodded in agreement, but Finn shook his head. "The First Order isn't that technical. Most times they will send a transmission saying they have one of us and going to kill them, or they will literally send you a photo of the person and show the pain they are enduring. Plus look at her eye." Finn pointed. "She must have been beaten badly," Rose said sadly. They were right. Under some makeup, there was a black ring forming around her eye. On her cheek was a slight cut, with some swelling and bruising around it. 

"I hope she will be alright," Finn said. 

"Shit," Lea said. We all looked at her. "Bah," she flicked her hand. "You all say it." She shook her head and took a deep breath. "But seriously, Shit." On the paper in front of her, there were more dots and lines.

"She said 'SNOKE IS COMING FOR ME'. I have a feeling that this won't end well." We all looked back up at the monitor just in time to see a slight tear fall from Natalie's face. "With our new weapons and Technology system, we will be unstoppable and rule over the Galaxy. The resistance will fall at their knees to us! We will be victorious!" She shouted. But her voice quivered. "Snoke is going to come for her after this, I have a feeling," Beaumont whispered. "I have been with the Resistance, they are nothing more than a band of random pilots come together to try and spark hope, when there is none." She paused as cheers erupted from the supporters. "We will shake the galaxy, and they will never stop US." she emphasized the 'us' and fully switched the ring on her hand to the Resistance symbol, in perfect view of the camera.
