Rey couldn't stop thinking about what Ben was planning to do. Change the First Order? She wasn't sure if it could ever be done. Finn changed and Ben seemed to have changed as well, but she was a little uncertain that everyone in the First Order could be changed.
Then she remembered that Captain Phasma was here, still in the medical bay. Perhaps she could talk to her, without letting her know what she was looking to find out. Besides, if there ever would be peace between the Resistance and the First Order, checking to see how she was feeling and if she needed anything seemed a good place to start.
Rey came to the small medical bay and knocked on the door.
"Come in," a female voice said from the other side of the door.
Rey opened the door and stepped inside. "How are you feeling?"
Phasma looked up at her, eyes wild as her hair hung shaggy over them. "Why do you want to know, it's not like you care anyway," she snapped.
"I do care, I'm the only reason you're here and not in a cell," Rey replied.
Phasma turn and looked away. "You show too much mercy."
"You're our prisoner, it's our responsibility to make sure that you're taken care of. And you're critically wounded, you wouldn't have survived in a cell."
"I'd be better off dead," she snapped.
"Why?" Rey asked.
"My leader is dead and as is my order," she replied.
Rey looked at her, "I'm sure that the First Order is all that you know. That it's like your home, your family. The Resistance could become that to you as well, if you are willing to join us."
"Why? What do you scum offer me, or the galaxy for that matter, nothing" she scoffed.
"Hope, freedom," Rey answered.
"I am free or I was and you or anyone else brings hope to this galaxy, no one has in years"
"There's still hope. Hope is like the sun, if you only believe in it when you can see it how will you get through the night?" She repeated the words that had been echoing through the Resistance the past few days
"You just won't give up will you" she asked shaking her head.
Rey shook her head. "Never."
"Well I can't join you, you've got spirit but your also fighting my order."
Rey nodded. "Do you think that there could ever be peace between the First Order and the Resistance?"
"Unlikely both sides has taken to much from the other" she said gravely.
Rey nodded. "Do you need anything?"
"Some water I guess" she answered.
"I'll go get you some," Rey answered turning to leave
"Thank you, by the way for suggesting I be taken to the medical-bay"
Rey turned to look at her and nodded.
