Salvation

Chapter 30

"Supreme Leader, the devices are ready."

One of the guards entered Huxs office space. He had been in the middle of a conversation via data comm. He nodded at the guard.

"I have matters to tend to. Good work. I will check progress in a few hours."

Hux sent the last message and rose out of his seat and followed the guard to the base labratory. Since becoming the new supreme leader, he was made new quarters on a brand new base The Trepidation.

Entering the lab he was shown the product he has requested.

"It's done then?" He asked.

"Yes sir. Unfortunately we don't have a proper way to test but if all calculations are correct then this will be very effective." One of the lab workers responded confidently.

Hux eyed the product. "This is enough?"

"I don't even think it will be necessary to be used whole."

"What about the other one?"

"We were unable to complete the binders that had been previously made. If the Jedi was able to unlock it we can't put together exactly how to make it stronger." The confidence slightly died down from the lab worker.

Hux lip curled up in fury. "I suggest you figure that one out. Quickly!" He shouted.

The workers nodded and immidiately rushed back to work.

"Sir, you-"

"What did you just call me?" Hux heatedly asked.

"Supreme Leader." The guard corrected himself.

"What is it?" His patience was beyond low.

"The high commanders wish to speak with you now." The guard nervously amswered.

Hux scoffed and rushed to the conference room.

He entered to see a holo video of all the leaders together looking down on him. The last time he had been with them was when he made a point to make public Rey and Bens arrests warrants and his initiation into his title. He had been made aware of several matters that they had wished for him to see to but he had his distractions.

"Supreme Leader, since your ranking have you not made any attempts at the duties you were given? They go down to you from Snoke. We have had no reports." One of them started speaking irritatedltly.

"I have more pressing business that must be seen to first. Everything else can wait." He said through gritted teeth.

"The galaxys fate is not your top priority?"

"Of course it is. And I am making sure to remove all threats to it at once." He defended himself.

"The warrant for Kylo Ren and Rey have beem sent out. You have others below who can monitor that. If you did a good job choosing your men then you should be well and able to-"

"Snoke is dead! Killed by a useless scavenger! So maybe the way you had things running didn't do anyone any good! I will make sure this galaxy is under the correct order" the First Order! No one has been more loyal to it than I have so I suggest you stop pestering me with petty concerns and let me work!" Huxs face turned red as he bellowed out to the officers.

They all glanced at each other for several moments, as if they were silently coming to an agreement.

"If we do not have a proper report in two weeks, your position will be stripped." One said flatly.

Before Hux can answer the screen turned off. Hux sneered to himself before rushing out of the office.

"Its a great plan!" Finn shouted.
