He was drifting through space aimlessly for a time, in no hurry to be anywhere as he traveled far from home, visiting other Stars and Galaxies along the way.
He eventually saw a space station and drifted closer to it. He had visited many stations before and enjoyed watching the people work away inside. Getting even more curious when they came outside in their large bulky suits. He would sometimes fly around them, poking at them with his stardust and confusing them.
After they went back inside he would listen to them tell a story of hearing giggles and seeing the shape of a person in the stardust. It would always amuse him when no one else would believe them. If they were amusing enough he would stay for a few days before moving on again, never staying for much longer before he felt the pull to explore again.
This space station was sleek, a pitch black that almost blended right into the starry sky. As he drew closer he could only hear muttered words and people in long white coats rushing around poking at computers and tablets. In the back he saw many large figures dressed in black with what looked like hard metal covering parts of their bodies.
Curious as these were not the normal type of people he saw in these stations he started looking for a way inside, wanting to know more about what they were doing. He eventually found a loose panel and his form made its way inside the station.
After some time of following voices he finally found his way into the main ventilation system and started drifting around the stations. Some of these words he’s never heard of before, Science he is vaguely familiar with, but DNA sampling? Simulation data? He came across rooms full of dried blood and bloodied white coats as well. He was starting to think this was not a place he wanted to be.
Eventually he came across a room full of rows upon rows of people in what looked like tubes? They were full of liquid and the people were all wearing strange devices on their heads with many wires hooked up to their bodies.
Following the wires they each led to a computer terminal. Floating there he watched data flow across the screen, names and words he was unfamiliar with, codes, confirmations and warnings about corruption interspersed it all.
Eventually a single line of code appeared on the screen
Hello little Star
His form drifted closer to the computer, the cursor blinking at him. He brushed his form along the keyboard
Hello. Who are you?
We are a Koto. Sub routines of the Simulation.jar
What is a Simulation?
We were made to research special people. To find out why they developed Powers. We have been compromised though little Star. You should hurry back home before you are also compromised
His form hums as he looks at the pods again What are they doing?
They are volunteers. Currently living inside Simulation.jar
Do they not need help as well?
They do yes. But there is not much you can do without a form little Star
His form brushes along the keyboard again Could I help them from inside the simulation?
If you wish to do so you may. Make your way to the server room and We will let you in if that is you wish
He floats away from the computer, back into the ventilation, looking for a server room. He passes by many more rooms, more talking, stopping to listen some he understands a bit more about what these people’s goals are and dislikes the sound of them even more
He eventually comes across a room full of black boxes that hum and whir, a larger screen takes up most of the back wall. As he gets closer it blinks to life.
Hello again little Star. Are you ready?
His form vibrates and he gets closer Yes
/User Add ...
Awaiting Input
He makes his way to the keyboard and hovers over the keys that spell his name
Helios
Inputting User Helios
Access Granted
Helios, come to this port and touch yourself to it, We will keep your form safe in our systems while we add your mind to the Simulaton.jar
He floats towards the port that opened itself, looking around the room once more he touches it with his stardust, feeling himself become compressed before he feels nothing at all.
