"Commander, we're ready to descend." Came the harsh voice of General Hux behind him.
Kylo Ren quickly slid his helmet back on and took a deep breath.
"Prepare my ship."

Once Riel had left the command deck, she had decided that she would go back down to the training hall where she had been previously. Clearly she had offended the commander with her comment, and she wasn't about to start another fight with him, so going back to her training was the option that would earn her the least comeuppance.
As she made her way through the lower levels, she noticed a profuse amount of stormtroopers heading to the loading docks. She knew it must have been another mission as she had seen this before, but something seemed off about it. Before when she had seen preparations for a mission, there had maybe eighty soldiers loading on to ships, but there were many more this time.
Her curiosity getting the better of her, Riel followed the stormtroopers. She was cautious not to get caught knowing that she would surely be reprimanded, hiding behind corners or supply crates if someone wandered too close. The whole ordeal had her heart racing, adrenaline pumping through her veins.
She had made it to the loading dock, keeping out of sight best as possible, and found as many as twenty ships waiting for stormtroopers to board. There had to have been many more ships in the other docks and just as many soldiers. This was definitely not a routine mission and Riel was determined to figure out what was going on.
She peeked over the crate and noticed an all too familiar figure cloaked in black wading through the stormtroopers. The commander's head turned toward Riel for a split second and she thought that her cover had been blown, but he looked away. She released a shaky breath, frozen in place at the thought of being caught.
"Load these supplies onto Freighter 801." Shouted a captain.
Riel's eyes widened in fear as her crate began to move. She would surely be captured if she didn't think of something quickly. With no other options, she stuck to the side of the crate as it was moved on to the ship, praying that she wouldn't be noticed. The crate stopped moving and Riel sighed in relief, before realizing that she was now stuck on a ship with no chances of slipping away.
She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to calm herself. Everything would be alright so long as she had a plan. As soon as the mission was over, she would slip off the ship and back to her chambers, but that could be weeks from now and her absence would not go unnoticed by the commanding officers. Hux she could deal with, but it was Kylo Ren that she was more worried about. Even though she had gotten closer to him in the past weeks, he was still impulsive and nearly impossible to read. She would have to make her escape before they took off.
