You don't know me. I am an associate of General Hux. I would like to discuss his truce with you. I will be at the bar on the Iskaulit if you are amenable.

[Neutral ground, a public space. She's not looking for a violent confrontation. As well, it's not a demand; rather a suggestion for conference.]

[ Huh. Obi-Wan didn't even know Hux had associates save for Ren. Now he's wondering why she'd approach him now. ]

Very well. I shall be there promptly.

Black cloak, red accents.

[He should be able to find her alright; she's roughly the size of a wookie.]

[beardstrokes]

[ And so he does. He wonders if she's been indoctrinated in the same manner as Hux. ]

And who might you be?

[flawless_precision]

Captain Phasma. I oversee the troopers at Starkiller Base. [He doesn't need to know specifically which designations she was in charge of. She takes a drink from the pristine cup of water infront of her and motions for Obi-Wan to sit.]

[beardstrokes]

Then you're not one of them.

[ It's a probing question, laced with the Force. ]

[flawless_precision]

[She's a stronger mind than most, so Obi-Wan won't be able to glean much without pushing. Just by the question alone, though, she can tell he's searching for information, and in this she is at least willing to humor him.]

You are wrong. I am an example of what they need to become. [She gives him a dismissive wave.] And I've adapted their training regimen to combat Force users like yourself. Do not think we are of the poor ilk the Empire employed.

[beardstrokes]

I wouldn't know, having never met the Empire myself.

[ And right now, they all seem the same to him. Repeating the same patterns, creating the same problems. ]

And I doubt any of you have ever met a real Jedi in decades.

[flawless_precision]

I consider that a good thing. [Never having met a real Jedi. They seemed troublesome and hypocritical.]


[It was neither here nor there. She leans forward, clasping her hands in front of her on the table and looking at him with a keen eye.]

I did not invite you here in order to compare history lessons. I am much more interested in the current present circumstances we have found ourselves in.

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan lets that remark slide. Hux isn't well-taught in history or diplomacy so it's no surprise his associates aren't either. ]

And that would be?

[flawless_precision]

[She's not a diplomat, she's not supposed to be diplomatic. She is their tank and their muscle. As for history, it is obvious to Phasma that Obi-Wan's is skewed.]

I want to know the details of General Hux's truce with you, what are the terms, and who does it entail. If I find it acceptable, I will enter under a similar agreement.

[beardstrokes]

And if you don't?

[flawless_precision]

Then there is nothing keeping me from continuing my objectives.

[beardstrokes]

Really? Nothing? You're going to single-handedly get the Fleet converted to the First Order?

[flawless_precision]

You can't possibly believe that that is my sole mission, or the least that I can do here? I didn't take you for someone that simple minded.

[There's the matter of FN-2187; she could rectify that issue. She could seek justice against those who attacked Hux. There were a great many things she could do in the name of the First Order that went above and beyond simple conversion.]

[beardstrokes]

No, but I don't think either of you thought your circumstances through. I put that truce because it's more beneficial to you than it is to me. You could argue I helped your cause more than anyone else here.

[ He waits until the words sink in. Obi-Wan is a general too, a fact quite commonly forgotten and he's won battles that'll stick in people's minds for years to come.

He certainly hasn't been forgotten. ]

So I'm not interested in insults or your capabilities. I'm interested in why you chose to approach me now.

[flawless_precision]

[She leans forward on the table, undeterred by him.]

I have been here for some time,choosing to remain an anonymous observer. It was never meant to be more than a temporary position; I knew eventually the truth would out. I wanted it to be on my own terms.

[And not because of Kylo Ren, but that goes unsaid.

[beardstrokes]

And I can count on you to keep them?

[flawless_precision]

As long as I have mutual accordance, I would have no reason to dissent.

[beardstrokes]

[ Hm. He can believe that of a trooper. ]

All right then. I see no reason not to allow it.

[flawless_precision]

I am glad to find you amenable.

[She sits back in her seat, satisfied, but it is in no way over.] Who in your contingent answer to you?

[beardstrokes]

Everyone does, to some degree.

[ The perks of being a Jedi Master. ]

[flawless_precision]

So I will come to you first with any grievances.

[beardstrokes]

[ That's foreboding. ]

That would be ideal.

[flawless_precision]

I am satisfied with what this meeting has produced. Do you have any questions of me, before we part ways?
