I swear I did this one, and then it wasn’t in my drafts and it was sitting here unanswered! Hm. Well, here we go, and sorry if it’s a duplicate!
“Okay,” Poe said, because there was no point. If your planet wasn’t equipped to resist– if the operative the Resistance sent to you showed up broken and useless– there wasn’t a whole lot you could do when the First Order arrived, or the Knights of Ren, or whoever they’d brought. He couldn’t blame this guy for the betrayal. He pried his eyelids up and gave the fellow as considering a look as he could manage under the circumstances. The man looked desperately sad. Poe patted him on the shoulder. “It’s not your fault, I know.”
“Stars,” the man said, annoyed, “don’t be nice to me.”
Poe gave him a grim smile, and closed his eyes. “Well,” he said, “let’s not fuck around, then.”
