Base Haven-Planet Arbra- Outer Rim:
All the main officers of the Resistance were gathered in the command room. Chewie was standing at the back and sulking in silence. He still hadn't processed the fact that Rey had left the base aboard the Millennium Falcon without him. Leia had admitted to him that she'd sent the young woman on a mission with R2-D2 and C-3PO. Annoyed to learn that his faithful friend had preferred the two droids over him, the Wookie let out an irritated groan.
But for the moment, the general had other preoccupations than the moodiness of the furry giant. Communication with Derra had just been established and Maz's wrinkled face appeared in three dimensions above the holocom. Leia turned her head towards the entrance just as Poe entered the room to blend into the dim light. He also really had not appreciated Leia's secretiveness, so he was scowling just like Chewie.
"Hello to everyone, wherever you are!" the little orange-skinned woman exclaimed with a cheerful tone.
"Hello Maz, it's good to hear your voice," Leia replied. "I suppose you already know about the annexation of Naboo by the First Order, and that's why you're contacting us?"
"Indeed, I have some news. Leman Drill managed to escape the Hux's troops with some members of the royal council. He took with him all the files and data that could compromise the caches and identities of the Resistance allies. We received his distress message an hour ago. He is waiting for us at our checkpoint on M'haeli."
A sigh of collective relief ran through the audience.
"Very good Maz! Can you go find them as quickly as possible and bring them back to your base? I'll send someone to you on Derra to escort everyone here. Maybe Leman will be able to tell us more about what happened on Naboo?"
The humanoid creature's tiny nostrils twitched.
"No problem, Leia .... Oh, and if that 'someone' could be my dear and tender Chewie, that would be a great pleasure," she added wickedly.
The general and everyone around the table smiled at that as the communication was cut off, and the older woman glanced sideways at the Wookiee, who was still grumbling against the pillar. Poe, arms crossed over his chest and face closed, was about to leave the assembly when Leia hailed him.
"Captain Dameron, a word please!"
The general passed in front of him and the pilot followed her unenthusiastically to one of the next rooms. He closed the door behind them and forced himself to lift his head, unable to further hide his annoyance.
"Yes, General?"
"Glacial" was really the proper adjective to qualify the pilot's tone.
"Please, Dameron, how long are you going to sulk for?" Leia was livid.
"Oh, so you care about my opinion now?"
"You are a great pilot, Poe, but you can be so childish sometimes!"
