[ Initially, he'd intended to follow up on the information Hux had gathered during his own network post. Hearing the Empire's name bandied about with such casual familiarity was a cause for concern, however over the course of his investigations he'd uncovered something far more disturbing. ]

Question: has anyone ever been returned to their worlds, only to be drawn back at a later stage? If so, what state where they in upon their return.

As I understand the preferred approach is to roll over and accept this as your new lot in life.

[ 'socorro' is a curious word; she wonders at the origin of it before smirking at the message when it appears. ]

i'm not one for the preferred approach, then.

what's your plan of action?

[warfares]

Congratulations on being one of the minority.

Hunt. [ Both for the meat and for the simple joy of it. ]

Investigate the pools, perhaps. [ He also wants a closer look at the coliseum, where they had first awoken. Something about that place pulls at him. ] Supposedly they contain shards of these "Gods's" power.

[invariances]

how powerful do you think these 'gods' are?

[ and do you think they can be overthrown, she wonders. ]

[warfares]

I've never been an especially religious man.

[ A man of faith, perhaps; a man of service, certainly. Regardless, even gods can die it's just a matter of finding the right tool. ]

but one with a healthy disrespect for authority. [ which suits her just fine, in this case. she and this stranger may be more alike than she'd guessed. ]

where are these pools? are you referring to the hot springs?

[warfares]

That would require my acknowledging their authority to begin with.

[ Which is never going to happen. Even independent of his loyalty to Snoke, Ren entertains a healthy skepticism of anything that claims divinity. ]

No, these are independent of the springs.

[invariances]

[ so does she; which is why it was so easy to believe that the skywalker jedi legends were just merely myths. ]

i'd be interested in exploring them, with you.

what's your name? [ maybe it's 'sorocco', but she highly doubts it. ]

[warfares]

[ Divulging too much information on the network is unwise; there's a reason he's kept to text, for the most part, even if the tiny keyboard of his mobile device is a source of endless frustration.

He hesitates for a moment, debating his options. ]

Ben.

You'll know me when you see me.

[invariances]

[ that name doesn't strike a chord of familiarity, but it's a nice one, nonetheless. ]

ben. nice to meet you; my name is rey.
