[The feed shows a man in his early thirties wearing a bright orange pilot suit, with some bruises in his forehead and cheekbones. Poe is not new to myriad sorts of alien creatures but beings living on a giant turtle and between reality planes is a whole new level of 'special'. That said, he had taken the news surprisingly well and now is giving the camera a smile.]

It's been a long time since I had vacations - over a decade, probably. Please, someone tell me this much cold is not the norm here. I'm having flashbacks of a mission I had in Hoth years ago and I actually would like to keep all my fingers intact.

I'm also looking for a friend, we seem to be losing each other a lot lately...It's an astromech droid, a white an orange BB unit. It's terribly cute and it knows it. If you happen to see it, I'd appreciate a call.

[The rest of the message is changed from video to text, and written specifically in Aurebesh.]

Hello. This is Poe Dameron, callsign: Black Leader.

I might as well find out if there’s someone else here from home. The Galaxy is not as much of a big place as it looks like.

If you can read this, please let me know.

[Galen had told Poe that Rey is here and that is most likely playing on Hux's favor.]

Rey! It's good to hear from you. Are you alright? Have you been here for long? Everything it's a bit overwhelming at the moment. Giant Turtles int he middle of space, it seems crazy and yet...[And yet, Poe has his 'soul' in a bracelet. Talk about strange things happening.]

So you have BB-8 again, uh? I think the universe might be trying to tell us something.

Yeah, I'm okay! I mean, as much as I can be. This place is better than Jakku, but in case you don't know already, that nerf-herder Kylo Ren is here :( :( :(

He's here and safe, don't worry. I'm not sure what the universe can be saying, with us being here AND him.

[never mind that talking this way is almost nauseating.]

[Poe has talked to Rey but has never seen her write, so he can't really tell if she texts like this. The smiley faces feel a bit odd but he's not about to judge that.]

I've been told about him, It's not exactly thrilling. Do you know if more people from the First Order is here? Or from the Resistance? The General? Maybe Finn...?

Probably nothing good. Where are you? I'd like to speak to BB-8, I bet it's beeping nonstop.

There's no one else that we know here. Like, there are people from /before/ our time, but I get bad vibes off and don't trust them.

[which is rich, considering he's not actually met many of them yet. but now isn't the time for truthiness.]

We're at the Midnight Hotel. BB-8 says to come quickly! I've never seen it so excited before.

[Getting 'Bad vibes' seriously, Rey? Poe legit stared at the text for a full minute before answering.]

People from the past, I'm assuming you meant Anakin Skywalker? I've been told about him. Galen say he's before his fall and I think we should give the man an opportunity.

That I can do. Please tell it not to blow a fuse while I'm gone. I promise to behave while not under it supervision.

[It's ok, he's not even trying to sound like Rey, just his perception of a girl her age.]

There are others, but are you really sure that's such a good idea? It's like... something we should consider carefully.

It seems to be making a concerted effort to stay calm, but that's apparently easier said than done. It's worried, and says it's been a long time since it has seen you.

[Hux seriously needs to go out and meet more young women, just saying.]

What others? And I know how difficult this is but if he's not still Vader, if he's not done anything, he deserves the chance.

Sounds like BB-8. I'm on my way, promise. Why don't you activate the video so I can see it? It might help BB-8 to feel more reassured that I didn't get myself kidnapped again. Don't listen to what BB-8 says, it doesn't happen that often.

[He practically never leaves his ship and the closest thing to young women he knows is Phasma. How is he supposed to even know what civilian ladies are like?]

There are various others, and some of them apparently had connections to Palpatine.

[If existing around the same time counts, anyway. But Hux honestly has no idea who exactly is here; he just knows they're not on his side.]

I actually can't do that. This handset doesn't allow it. You're just going to have to hurry up before BB-8 gets too impatient.

[Okay, that is a far point. But this raises the question about if Hux thinks Phasma would ever text like this.]

Palpatine...And here I was thinking that being told my soul is now in a jewel was going to be the strangest things I've heard today.

Oh. Okay then, I'll be there in no time. I can't wait to see you two, stay out of trouble in the meantime.

[It's more like he's aiming for the opposite of Phasma. She would kill him if he thought she'd text like this.]

Well, there's like... a LOT of weird things going on here.

Don't worry. BB-8 is safe with me.

[She so would. With extreme prejudice, at that.]

I'm starting to realize that. Okay, I'll see you in no time. I'm really glad that you two are here too.

[And after that he disconnects to go the the Hotel.]
