"Worried the auto pilot is about to give out?"
Poe was halfway to his blaster as Rey's voice startled him out of his daze. He was in the cockpit staring out at the stars whizzing past their ship, he hadn't even realised he'd zoned out. Rey looked amused as she climbed into one of the other chairs. "No, it's just... peaceful here." He admitted, relaxing again. Rey's smile seemed to grow at the notion. "Even rugged generals need peace and quiet every once in a while." He cut in before she started teasing him.
"Is that why you told Finn to back off?" Rey asked quietly after a moment. Poe turned back to her ready to deny everything. "Someone made him realise that he doesn't need to try and help me every second of every day."
"Well, I think Chewy might've actually ripped a limb off if I hadn't..." Poe half joked, as if it were nothing. In fact they'd all been enjoying the relative peace and quiet over the last few days. Rey had started to smile again as she and BB-8 gently coaxed D-O out of its cone shaped shell. He was also fairly certain she was getting a certain amount of amusement out of Chewbacca always being him and Finn at dejarik. Though neither Finn nor Poe knew how the wookiee did it, he was also fairly certain it was to their advantage the wookiee always won.
All in all, things had seemed relatively, well, normal.
"Or you'd have shot him." Rey corrected, her lips twitching into a smile again. "Thank you." She added sincerely. "I... I needed the space."
"He meant well..." Poe didn't really know why he said that.
"I know."
A silence fell over them again as they both watched the stars. "Was there something else you wanted?" Poe checked, chancing a glance back at the Jedi.
"Peace and quiet." Rey replied, glancing back at him with a soft smile, which Poe briefly returned before the companionable silence settled over the cockpit again.

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities. Notes: (30.06.2021) - I have re-edited and revised the following chapters up to Chapter 24. - Changed the Title from Earth AA to Tellus Stirs.
