"FN-2187 reported to my division was evaluated and sent to reconditioning."

Phasma states the information directly and with calm. She has done everything that was required of her and more with each of her assigned soldiers. From birth, they are educated and given close to no free time. So as to prevent any thoughts of leaving or treason.

But FN-2187... He has done something far worse than just run away. Far worse than deserting the first order. What he has done. Is assist a prisoner escape.

"No prior signs of none conformity."

General Hux examining the troopers history and data sheets. He smirks as he observes that this trooper is fairly fresh and upon his first mission has not had the stomach to do what is required of him. The same exact thing that is required of every trooper.

It's a dirty job but someone has to do the grunt work.

"This was his first offense." Her words cut to the chase quickly and she's ready to accept the full responsibility of what must be done. Sending a few troops after the two of them, and capture Poe and FN-2187.

"Sir, they have been hit. They are going to crash land on Jakku." The girl at the radar scanners shows a reading of a diagram indicating the most likely location giving the trajectory of the path of the ship.

"Excellent."

General Hux looks upon Phasma with a particular degree of calculation and processes the current situation. He approaches her and looks at her visor trying to see her eyes underneath the black tint of the glass.

"This trooper. He belongs to your unit. He was assigned to you and on the first mission for him, with Kylo Ren. His job was to shoot a blaster. To pull a trigger. Nothing more was required of him. Am I correct in this calculation?"

His words ice cold as he speaks soft enough for only her to hear. Giving her the dignity and respect to make sure that no one else hears this dialog. Should the other crew members hear this assessment of her right now, her orders and position would be in question.

"You're statement is 100% accurate."

She speaks calmly but her expression under that helmet is anything but. Her eyes widen a bit in shock hearing him talk like this. Hux has never held back what he really thinks at times. But for the first time ever, she is receiving an assessment from him on one of her men. And so far, it's not looking all that good.

"Then can you tell me what I should have you do? Or how I should punish you exactly? Because it would seem to me that, a trooper that has his commanding officer. Captain no less, present on his first deployment. Along with A sith, Kylo Ren, present at the location. To not open fire, and later not follow your orders to go off to reconditioning. Instead, he helps the prisoner escape. Then takes First Order property, and on top of all that. Steals a fighter, and now is most likely dead from the crash landing. You, Captain Phasma, You tell me what you think I should do."

He folds his arms looking at her as her heartbeat begins to pick up. She clenches the hilt of her blaster in frustration, pondering on her answer. To be honest, if one of her troopers where in her position right now, she would just shoot him and be done with it.

But now, it's her. And right now she has to figure out what the right thing to do is. And the only thing she wants to do is get away from Commander Hux. As far away as possible from this embarrassing situation. And the at the corner of her eye, the reflection of the planet Jakku can be seen upon the glass of one of the many portholes.
