She cautiously followed after the trooper, pointing the blaster at his back as he continued to lead them further down the halls.
"The cameras!" Rey spoke up, pressing her finger on the trigger and aiming it at the recording tech. Poe followed her lead and turned further around the corner taking out another camera. Finn lagged behind a bit, making sure the other halls were clear before continuing onward.
"What was that?" The trooper questioned the shattering noises, abruptly stopping before turning around to face the trio. Instead of blasting him, Rey utilized her staff and jabbed his helmet easily knocking him out. His body crashed onto the floor with a thud as she paused in front of the door he'd lead them to.
A chilling breeze that tingled down her spine caused goosebumps to arise, she turned allowing the feeling to direct where she should go. She couldn't explain the unusual feeling, but it felt trustworthy to her.
"Rey, come on," Finn exclaimed, moving from the keypad and wrapping his hand around her bicep roughly. Poe moved around the currently unconscious trooper and broke the both of them up, shaking his head disappointedly at Finn.
"Ochi's dagger is on this ship, we need it," Rey mumbled, knitting her brows together as a perplexed expression painted her features. Glancing at the boys they nodded at her statement, showing that they trusted her judgement.
"Why?" Finn questioned, confused by the sudden need for it. Poe side-eyed Finn and rolled his eyes at his overprotectiveness, he never fussed over him like that.
"A feeling, I'll meet you back at the hangar," She explained, her hazel eyes glimmering with perseverance and a hint of stubbornness. Securing her staff over her shoulder, she began to stride towards where the feeling was leading her. Leaving Finn and Poe alone to deal with Chewie.
"You can't just leave again-," Finn called after her fleeting body, getting ready to run after her. Poe quickly placed his palm flat on Finn's chest, stopping him. He glanced at the pilot; feigned annoyance shown on his features which caused Poe to raise his brows.
"Chewie," Determination dripped from Poe's voice as Finn refocused his attention on the task at hand.
The trooper entered the pin number causing the door to hiss open and they both knew it was only a matter of time before the mind manipulation Rey had done wore off.
"What are we supposed to do with the trooper again?" Rose whispered, looking up at the wavy-haired brunette with concern imminent on her face. Zorii rung the blaster she held around her finger multiple times to show off before blasting the trooper straight in the back.
"That." She replied smugly, smirking at her new friend as she stepped over the body that now lay strewn about on the reflective flooring.
As they entered the room, Zorii audibly held her breath while checking out the living quarters. Tiny beds were stacked upon each other, decorated with jet black sheets. Chests laid in front of each one and she assumed it was where the children's belongings were placed if they hadn't already been taken from them.
Rose followed her cautiously, the corner of her lips turning downward at the sight before them. The children must've been training because the place was empty.
A lump grew in Zorii's throat as she tried to hold back small sobs, placing her hand over her mouth she tried to stay silent as warm tears flowed down her dusted cheeks. She forced her gaze onto the ground, unable to bring herself to speak.
"Zorii, I'm so sorry," Rose mumbled, placing her hand comfortingly on her shoulder. She contemplated whether to give her a hug but was interrupted by a voice.
