Hi I’m Cygnus. Here I am in front of my capsule. I've held a semi-normal life. A bit of krav maga, a bit of reading, and a bit of school (still in high school) probably the lone thing I think that stands out about me is I pretty good at games. So when the new game star wars vrmmorpg game Obliterate came out I screamed like a little girl. I and my friends got the first batch of the game. We always compete in the games we play choosing opposing factions. I usually pick an evil type character. Why you say? Because it’s so fun. unfortunately we agreed(I was forced by a unanimous vote among my peers) that I would be one of the good guys this time because apparently I "go too far" or "become too broken" and my favorite "if you become sith you'll break the universe”. So yeah I’m going to try to become Jedi. Besides it’s not like I enjoyed all the things I did in game. I’m not a monster. In the end it’s just a game.

Everything went pitch black and then blinding white. Then my eyes opened and I looked about. It seems like its morning. I look at my body and I seem three or four. I get up and walk around. After getting a better look around this place, I realize it’s huge. Going near to what’s probably the kitchen a skinny man looks at me and says
"Go get dressed signals you've got your first day of school today"
I do as the man says, but man I got some weird clothes. When I’m done changing I walk outside with what seems to be my dad. He seems to be important to some cause. A huge house and high altitude on Coruscant means something. I suspect he might be a senator. Scratch that I'm sure of it. Someone just called him Senator Caleb Laval. So I guess that makes me Kor Laval... I like it .I also take a long moment to stop and look at the planet I’m on. Seeing Coruscant in virtual reality is amazing. The cruzers the buildings and the feeling you don’t know how far down you'll fall if you jump. Me and my dad get on a high class cruzer and fly to another funny looking building. When I get to the entrance he stops.
"Son we are important people. Don’t do anything stupid okay"
And just like that I learned I hated the man. Who talks like that to a whatever my age is?
I wanted to say something so snarky it would twist his face. But I couldn't.
Physically couldn’t do it .I tried again but still nothing. That’s weird right? In the end I just ignored the guy and went inside the funny looking building...
I get why they made us this young now. This school is some kind tutorial about basic star wars knowledge. Like the common republic language is basic and what is the republic and how it works .I can tell who's a player in my class by how many people aren't picking their nose and all their other alien orifices .one of the kids was sniffing his finger .I waved and tried to say hi to the players so that maybe we could share information. But again nothing came out. I gave up faster than last time and just paid attention to class.

During lunch the finger sniffer was bullying a girl .I didn’t like it so I intervened. Your probably asking why I care. Why me the bandit god of Calypso or the demon king of Karl would care. And as I said it will be different this time. Also I’m not a monster. So since I can’t speak I tap the filthy finger sniffer on the shoulder with a napkin (I won’t’ fucking touch him until I know what he’s been sniffing) and try to tell him he's being a massive douche nozzle through various bodily maneuvers. He and everyone around me got the message. He then punched me in the face. I didn’t see it coming because I was busy twerking. Yes I know I took it far. Yes I know I said I would change. Shut up. Fuck you. Anyways he punched me. HE PUNCHED ME. WITH HIS FINGER SNIFFING FIST. First I punched him in the chin and knocked him out as quickly as possible because I saw what was coming next. Then I threw up making sure all of it touches some part of his body. you mess with the dragon you get the breath.....ignore that joke .continuing the game I was walked to the nurses office where I thoroughly scrubbed my cheek till it looked more damaged than it actually is. The nurse took some tests with weird funny looking tools and left for a bit leaving my file. The game obviously wants me to read it so I do. It seems I am temporarily mute .I can speak but won’t .it says I’ll speak when I’m ready .I kinda expected this. I’ll just wait it out. What an interesting system. The girl came back to take my blood which appeared mandatory as I just threw up. I tried to run away as I thought she had a needle. But it wasn’t so bad once I was strapped down to the sick bed. As she unstrapped me from the sick bed she looked at me with a look I remembered from other virtual reality games. It’s like something between fear and reverence. I smiled my most creepy smile by reflex. She then speed walked outside. I heard incoherent yelling then a long silence then more yelling. Did I have some kind of lycan disease again? The nurse returned and said she had called my parents. They came and took me home.
When I come in I was told to go room for a bit. I could still hear the yelling from my room. Since I’m curious as what’s happening to me I try to get closer and listen in
"honey we have to give him to the Jedi if we don’t its like we're saying we don’t trust the system"
"fuck no"
"Honey, there’s nothing we can do about it, he's special the Jedi really want him. And the Jedi don't want anything"
The female had tears in her eyes.
"You can resign from your job. That way we can keep our family together"
"Honey joining the Jedi is an honor and a privilege, not just anyone gets to become one"
"Oh!! What about this no attachments bullshit. I want to be able see my son everyday and watch him grow up." She said while weeping
"Hon he'll be fighting the good fight; our fight. And isn't that why we're here. And he has the potential to do more good than us. He can also quit at any time. More importantly our political standing will skyrocket. Who else has among the senators have a Jedi son? None that’s who ha-ha. Also he'll probably be safer their as a Padawan their then with us anyway.
Then the woman who's probably my mom finally notices me and says
"Why don't you play outside for a bit Kor"
I did so as they were my (fake) parents...
I'm gonna hurt Caleb. I can’t hurt him now as this was my goal and doing so now would be counter-productive. I promised myself the next time I see him that I was going to hurt him.
The next day a Jedi took me to the temple.Here I go again
