[ Rey draws a deep breath, staring up at the bucket of rust that she's begun to call her home, then turns away from it with every bit of resolve she can muster and doesn't look back as they descend the cargo ramp. In fact, she doesn't look back even as it shrinks with its retreat as they surge onward towards the ruins of what used to be the mine; the ruins are a graveyard that reminds her of a home she'd had earlier than the Falcon, reminds her of the felled starships that she had scoured for usable parts on Jakku for years.
The only movement comes from the dust their boots kick up, and Rey takes slow, deliberate steps that try to mask her trail across the layer of dirt that settles atop the mine's pit. She stops at Kylo's question, turning her attention skyward and squinting as though she ere using her eyes rather than the Force to search. The same cloak of darkness that blacked out the scanning equipment persists like a dense fog that attenuates her field of view, and she shakes her head, dropping her chin with some marginal disappointment. ]
No. [ She turns and continues towards the mine facilities. ] But we don't need to know how close she is to know she'll come for us, which gives us plenty of time to stage an ambush for when she gets here. [ It's been rare, in her experience to have the drop on anyone from the First Order like this, let alone someone else with Force sensitivity—even Luke and Leia had sensed her arrival when she came to D'Qar and Ahch-To respectively. She plans to make the most of it. ]
We can suppress our signatures as well, lie in wait and draw her here. [ She points up to the ruined offices and barracks, squinting at the pile of dust and searching for a point of egress. ] Then collapse it to trap her.
