When it was almost time for breakfast Rey left her hideout and began to walk to the canteen at the other end of the base.
She still felt irritated and slightly annoyed about her conversation with Luke. "You have to find out!" What kind of advice was that? Rey huffed. "You should ask people questions." But who should she ask? Who was there to help her find out? She had a feeling that Luke knew more than he revealed. But he had shown that he wasn't willing to tell her. At least not now.

When Rey reached the canteen she saw Finn and Poe sitting at their usual table. She quickly gathered her food tray and joined them.
"Good morning", Poe said as she sat down and smiled at her.
"Morning", she grumbled.
"Bad night again?", Finn asked sympathetically.
"Yeah", she lied. "I'm still not used to the new bed."
"This will change soon. I'm sure", Poe patted her on her shoulder and turned back to his food tray.

Rey looked down at her own. There was porridge and tea this morning and some kind of jellow and blue fruits or vegetables she had never seen before. She sniffed at the jellow thing carefully and poked at its skin. "What are these?", she asked. "How do you eat them?
Finn looked up from his tray. "They are fruits. You have to peel them before you can eat them", he explained. "I have never seen a fruit like this before", Rey mused.
"Well, they only grow on special trees in hot and rainy forests."

"Hot and rainy forests...", Rey thought. "Is it possible? Does this have something to do with my visions?" Rey peeled away the skin and took a bite. "Ask questions", she could almost hear Luke again. "Where do they come from? There are no forests on Hoth and it's really cold."
"They are from a planet a few systems away. The name is Varonat", Poe answered. "Some of our people went there one of these days and bought them from a little market along with other supplies. They said it's all warm and green there..." His voice trailed off dreamily.

Rey's mind raced. This could be the place the Force kept showing her. And it was not that far away. Maybe she could find a way to get there.
"When will they go there again?", she asked, careful to hide her desperation to get more information.
"In a few days, I guess. Why do you want to know?", Poe answered.
"I'm just curious", Rey smiled. "They taste nice." A few days... so she had time to think and come up with an idea.

"We tracked them down to a few systems in the Anoart Sector", Hux explained, "it has been impossible to find out their final refuge since they have some technology that keeps them well hidden. But our scouts where able to get a glimpse of them in the Bespin-System, the Hoth-System, the Varonat-System and the Ison-System." Hux pointed them out on the map in front of them.

Kylo knew the Anoart Sector from his childhood. He had been there with his father a few times to visit his old friend Lando on Bespin. On their way there they had also stopped on Varonat a few times to 'trade' goods. At least that was what his father had told him instead of the truth: he had smuggled stuff. Kylo remembered the planet because it had been so hot and green.

He froze in place. Varonat was a planet that was almost completely covered in a thick jungel. Even if he had never actually left the little market he had seen the forest surrounding it. How could he not have seen the similarities to his visions! And now Rey was somewhere in this area as well...

Kylo snapped out of his thoughts and realized he had been quiet for a while now. Hux was starring at him waiting for some kind of reaction.
"Good, you have done well", Kylo said, "I want you to place scouts in every of the named systems. They will show up some time." Hux's eyes widened. This had been the first praise he had heard from the new Supreme Leader. Kylo knew you had to pet a dog from time to time to keep it amused and he was in a good enough mood now to do so.
