“I’m finally here. Thank goodness,” Cole said. It took a long time but he finally made it to the archway and passed through it. He had to have spent at least a couple of hours just walking, but since he didn’t normally wear a watch, he couldn’t tell for sure. When he walked up to the archway, he saw the guards standing next to the gateway, wearing what looked like space-age armor. As he walked up to the gate, one of the guards approached him, holding out his hand and motioning for him to stop.
“State your name and business,” one of the guards said, his voice coming out of a speaker on the helmet.
“What? What’s going on?” Cole asked.
“It’s a standard security check. Now please answer the questions.”
“Okay, okay. My name is Cole Evans and I just wanna know what the heck is going on. At first, I thought I was dreaming when I woke up by that fountain, but you don’t spend hours just walking from point A to point B in a dream.”
“Did you say you woke up by that fountain out there?” the guard asked.
“Yeah, why?” Cole asked. “What kinda place is this anyway?”
The guards looked over Cole. Despite the weapons visible on his utility belt, he looked reasonable compared to some of the lunatics that came by earlier. One of the guards then answered his questions.
“Behind this gate is the city of Coruscant, the capital of the Empire. The most advanced realm of the Omniverse and one of the largest.”
“You can move on ahead. Any more information you need can be found on one of the public Dataverse terminals around Tier 1. Welcome to the Omniverse,” the other guard said. After Cole walked past them and through the gate, one of the guards radioed ahead. “Be advised. We have a new Prime approaching the checkpoint.”
