Exegol preplay

The ships exited hyperspace, and Poe's first thought upon seeing Exegol was that it looked dead. It was the the ugliest thing he'd seen in a long while, and he wondered if it had always been this way, or if building a colossal fleet of Star Destroyers here had killed the place.

And when the ships dived into the cloud cover, they nearly ran into the Sith fleet. It was massive. Their triangled hulls were enormous, but they grew even smaller as their numbers seemed to stretch into infinity.

"Great dark seas," Aftab Ackbar gasped across the comm. "Look at that!"

"No sign of the Falcon or allies," Tyce said from her ship.

"Help will get here," Poe assured them.

"That was our side doing that, right?" Tony chimed in over comms.

"Not me!" Annie confirmed, though whoever it was -- she admired your work, because that was neater than she would have done it. (Not to mention she wasn't sure she could do quite that much, anyway.) "Sure hope it was our side, though."

This was probably not the good news it looked like, if it hadn't been.

"Hi!" Steve said, the smile clear in his voice. "You're still okay! You could see that from space?"

It was a big boom.

"J's keeping tack of you guys down there!" Tony replied. "We're doing great--"

Ignore the screaming sort of noise of one of those TIE fighters and then an explosion over the comms. "Doing great! I'll get back to you in a moment."

"Love you," Steve said. "Stay safe."

Well. Safe-ish. For them.

"Nav beacon's down!" Poe yelled into his comm. "They did it!"
