Окей, если в фильме еще можно как-то пропустить эмоции генерала, то в новеллизации они из него так и прут, он даже не считает нужным искать окно, паникует не отходя от рабочего места. И awww, у него тоже есть эта привычка царапать руки, когда нервничает, я так очень часто делаю.

“Sir, the lead technician reports that the doorway has been sealed.”
Hux grimaced. “Sealed? Sealed how? By whom?”
“He doesn’t know, sir.” The officer listened. “Heat sealed, all the way around the edge. Possibly by a blaster. Should they get a cutter?”
Hux shook his head. “Tell them to blow the door.”
“Sir?” The officer’s reply indicated he was unsure he had heard the order correctly.
“Blow the damn door!” Hux shouted. “Tell them to get in there!”
“Yes, sir!” The command was relayed. Moments later a reply was forthcoming from the tech repair team. The officer swallowed, hesitating.
“What?” Hux snarled.
“Sir, the team leader reports that there is—some damage to the shield control system.”
“How much damage?” an increasingly irate Hux demanded.
A longer pause this time, following which the officer experienced a sudden intense wish to be anywhere other than where he currently happened to be.
“Destroyed, General. The tech team leader reports that the operational capacity of the entire center has been reduced at least ninety percent by blaster fire.”
Hux had not achieved his present rank and position by deferring problematic situations to group consultation. “Bypass the shield center. Where redundancy doesn’t already exist, port all controls here.”
“Yes, sir.” The officer’s fingers flew over the console. “It will take a moment, sir.”
Hux all but scraped skin from the palms of his hands while waiting.
“Shields?”
“Not yet,” the officer told him, still working.
“Why not?”
“Have to block any remaining possible directives from the shield center so that they can’t override our efforts here—sir.”
“Hurry. In the name of the Order, hurry.”
“Yes, sir. I should have it soon, sir.”
Hux knew there was nothing more he could do. Further haranguing would only rattle the officer and the other techs in the command center. He could barely stand the silence as they worked.
Because he feared it was deceptive.
