The hours spent exploring the Nexus were left unknown to the soldier, her brain dawdled with questions that could never be answered. At least not as of now, she was alone, restricted to isolation in a land of one mere color and portals of strange colors and worlds. Kalli couldn't dare herself to take any more steps in walking into these places, she was underequipped, unprepared, there was no civilization for her to cooperate with. If she was fortunate strange figures would appear in and out of few on the other side, but such things would shortly disappear. Were they people, or something much worse? Like her thoughts, there was to be no answer.
With another click and clack with pouches of ammunition rustling, she strolled up to another gate like the rest, gawking at it with awe instead of curiosity or fear. Her eyes did not widen in panic, instead they would stare deeply into the lights beyond the portal, towering structures that poured with gold lighting, structures of elegant design and alien in nature, and creatures with strange legs strolling about casually. Kalli couldn't think, confronted with the world before her she merely stood in awe.
And was quickly shoved.
"Prime?" Dressed in white armor, shimmering like plastic and holding a gun of black in contrast with the uniform, there was nowhere to see through the helmet, the black eyes only reflecting Kalli. "What?" She would ask cocking her head in confusion, a heavy sigh followed by the creature in armor, he looked at another that looked the same, their height was off by a few inches. The other one shrugged before the alien in armor looked back at Kalli. "Did you come from the fountain?" The guard questioned, nodding to the place behind her, Kalli merely replying with a "Yes." before the soldier lifted up a hand, pointing a single digit toward the portal behind him. "This is Coruscant, home of the Empire. In order to pass, you need to submit to a security scan before being allowed to walk on Tier 1. If you have any relation to The Kingdom or Camelot, your items will be confiscated and you will be thoroughly searched. Any questions?" He lowered his hand again, placing a firm grip on the gun at his stomach.
"What type of species are you?" She would ask curiously, eyes squinting at the helmet, the stormtrooper sighed at the question as the other chuckled at Kalli's question, before looking out into the white of the Nexus again. "We're called humans, and there are a lot more other kinds of "species" you'll find. Which is why you need to a submit to a security scan. Now, move along before you start up a line." He moved back to the left side of the gate, as the other stood on the right, the two merely standing after all that occurred. Kalli followed as told, walking though hesitantly to see what the guards- supposedly humans, whatever that meant -were protecting from the so called "Kingdom".
Atmosphere, temperature, the time of day, the noises, the smells and the gravity...It all changed in a mere footstep. She had walked on through the portal with ease, only to be left stunned at the sudden change in herself and her surroundings. It was as if she had landed on a whole new planet, with only mere seconds to adapt before the soldiers in white would say "Move along." with Kalli having to move along to a nearby checkpoint, the soldiers surrounding the area with their black coated rifles and masks that hid their faces. It had a hint of familiarity to it, like her home, something about the militarism and the constant paranoia...It was awakardly warming. Very awkwardly.
"Its not like this one is a Copper Eye, do we really need to scan her?" One of the soldiers asked behind a glass, pushing numerous buttons as red beams appeared at the checkpoint, moving back and forth. The soldiers shoved Kalli in roughly, the beams humming as they ran through her with ease. "Yeah well, the Copper Eye will prop back up if we get lazy-" before the other voice could finish behind the glass, their radios buzzed with a voice, one of them noding. "Copy all, over." he stated, looking up at Kalli before deactivating the scanner. "You're clear, move on through!" He yelled past the glass, the soldiers behind her quickly moving up to make sure she wouldn't stall.
And the first tier would come into view, many primes seeing it before, and many to see it after, a mass of skyscrapers and glimmering windows with shining beauty and elegance uncompared to Kalli's memory. If only she knew the more darker traits of the Empire, she would be leaving in disgust in an instance rather than intrigued by the beauty. But, that would never quite seem to occur with all her gawking.
