Techie puts copper wire laurels on top of Hux’s head while he’s busy working at his desk one day, and whispers in his ear something about sparing the life of a slave. Hux turns back and asks “What? What did you just say?” But Techie laughs and says he was replaying a weird dream he’s had where Matt had been sentenced to death by Armitage for punching a legatus.
“That’s silly”, Hux replied. “I would never bring harm to your precious technician.”
“I know,” Techie said, “but I still felt the need to save him even if it was all a dream.”
