THE SHOCK FROM C-3PO'S words is palpable on General Organa's face. Though she does her best to keep her composure, Indira can plainly see how shaken the older woman is by the sound of her estranged husband's name. Blinking rapidly, the general steels her face back into its normal mask of cool collectedness. "Then I guess we've got a trip to make," she says lightly. "Alert the fleet and prepare the ships. Have the pilots set their courses for Takodana."
She doesn't stick around after that, leaving the hangar quickly before anyone can get another word from her. Indira watches her go, a small frown on her face, before she shakes her head and forces herself to focus. Snap, Karé, and Jess are already running in the directions of their ships as the hangar begins flooding with people; all Resistance members hurrying to their stations as the general's order spreads throughout the base. Realizing that Poe is still standing next to her with a similarly dumbstruck expression, Indira grabs his hand and tugs.
"You, ship," she instructs, pulling him towards where Black One is waiting.
Poe allows himself to be dragged, shaking his head slightly as if almost in a daze. A delighted grin covers his face as he comes to a stop just before his ship. "Did you hear that?" He asks, nudging her arm. "They found Bee!"
"I did hear that," Indira says with a nod. "So you'd better hurry up and get yourself into your ship if you want to see him soon."
"Right, right," Poe mutters, still smiling as he climbs the ladder of his beloved black and orange T-70 X-wing and situates himself in the cockpit, taking in the full extent of all the repairs she had done on the ship during his absence. "Wow," he says after whistling lowly, glancing down at Indira. "Wow! She looks great!"
He turns in the seat to examine the ship further. "And those power couplings?" He waggles his eyebrows at her. "I'm gonna have to rough her up more often if this is the end result."
