[Through the Force, all is possible. A single, living entity that encompasses every facet of all that was or ever will be - the universe itself. Light and dark, Jedi and Sith, their methods may differ, but the basic truth remains that limits are only ever set by those who call upon it: if he falls-- falters-- it is not because the Force has failed him, but that he has failed himself. Skywalker had been blind to it, yet the Supreme Leader had understood. And now, alone, he bears the brunt of the task ahead, braced against the staggering flow of every molecule, cell, creature, thought-- the hum of engines in their housings, the clatter of thousands of footsteps, thoughts tangling together into a near unbearable din, bottled within the confines of his own skull.
It is fortunate that he wears his mask.
He sets his teeth, lip curling, breath unsteady. Would swear the metal of their own hull buckles with strain though the pressure he feels is his and his alone. Tense seconds. Painful and sharp, and he shares the echo of it with the broodmate at his side - paler, of course, as Hux cannot truly understand the Force in the same manner as Snoke's apprentice, but they are linked, regardless of what either of them might prefer. From that, there is strength.]
Fifteen degrees starboard - flank the ship directly ahead. ['Remain beneath it' is what he means to add, but the strain is taxing like this. It comes as a thought without a voice-- though if Hux is aware enough through all the distractions, he might recognize it regardless.]
