Despite their recent victory against the Resistance, the First Order was in disarray. The destruction of Starkiller Base, the damage of the Supremacy, and subsequent Battle of Crait, left them scrambling to reshift the ranks while wasting no time. There was one advantage they had on top of the Resistance though: they still had ships, money, weapons, resources.
But Kylo Ren was still furious. They almost completely won.
The Resistance were in the palm of their hands. And then he had Rey, someone with force abilities that even she did not know the true extent of, abilities that rivaled his own, in his clutches. But the girl escaped, and the remnants of the Resistance managed to crawl away to some corner of the universe while licking their wounds.
They may be nothing right now, but if Kylo knew the general, his mother, then they’ll become a pain again real soon. Now as the new Supreme Leader, he was able to call the shots as needed to get things done. And he will do whatever necessary to accomplish his goals.
Although General Hux served as a minor pain for him. He was the only man who would dare to question Kylo Ren’s orders, and one day, he would just love to take his lightsaber and do to Armitage what he did to Snoke. But for now he needed to leave the man alive, for he held some use. But once his use is gone, Kylo will not hesitate to end his miserable existence.
Speaking of the man...he needed someone to keep an eye on the general. And if the general took one step out of line, issue a command he strongly disapprove of, Kylo will know. Anyone could do this job, and with their new position near the general at all times, it would be easy to track them down to question about General Hux.
Kylo grabbed one of the first officers he saw in the hall. Tall and sinewy, yet he could feel the fear when he focused his attention on her. He relished in that power. “Congratulations, you’ve just been promoted. Effective immediately, you’ll be working with General Hux as his newest assistant.” Without another word he stalked off.
There was much that needed to be done, and soon. The First Order will soon be feared by all in the galaxy, and the Resistance will be nothing more than a long forgotten dream.

Lavinia felt her hands shake as she watched Kylo Ren stalk down the hallway. He served as her biggest fear in the First Order. A minor slip in her actions or, hell, her thoughts and he will immediately know about the lie she hid from everyone around her.
A lie that could cost her her life.
To everyone around her, she was Lieutenant Althea Storax, an astute workaholic who has not once stepped a toe out of line. No one around her knew much about her background, but as a lowly officer with a clean record, no one cared to delve into her life.
It was all a facade though. When no one looked, when she was in the safety of her quarters, she worked quickly to record all of the information she read and overheard over the course of the day onto her personal communications device. After careful encryption her messages were transmitted to the Resistance base on D’Qar.
And if anyone found out that she was a Resistance spy by the name of Lavinia Aburius, she was certain the next thing she would see was a blaster pistol to her head.
So as she watched Kylo, Lavinia reevaluated her position. She reevaluated the dangers that faced her every minute of the day. Nowhere could she slip up, for her life depending on it. And now she was just...promoted as essentially General Hux’s assistant. While at first glance, the man wasn’t intimidating, the power he held was. But the information he held...invaluable.
No one spared her a glance as she stalked off towards the hangars in an attempt to hunt down the general. Congratulations, you’ve just been promoted. What she wouldn’t give for a drink right then.
The journey lasted far shorter than she wanted. Get a grip Lav. Think of the opportunity, of what you can gain from this. Her words calmed her mind some, and just in time too. The hangar buzzed with activity, but no one paid the woman any attention. Locating the general took no time at all, but she was slow in making her way over to the man. Another woman stood next to him, conversing with him, and given their similar heights and hair color, she briefly wondered if the two were related in any way.
Once the woman walked off, Lavinia quickened her pace before the general had a chance to walk off. She did not feel like running all over the ship in order to talk to him. “General Hux, sir.” Her voice was as steady and confident as a woman in her position should be, no lingering effects of her brief mental battle from earlier. “According to the orders of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren,” which, in her opinion, was still weird to say, “I am now to be your...assistant.”
