Now that he knew he wasn't able to get rid of the only thing that connected him to his old world, it was time to get going. The trooper looked back to the gates in the distance and examined each one so he could decide which would be best to visit first. One was billowing smoke, definitely not something he wanted to visit, another was extremely run down compared to the rest... There really were none that looked particularly welcoming, but two looked decent enough to at least have some life. And there was some life at each of them, which helped 701 realize there might be life... Thankfully, both of them were fairly close to each other, so it would be easy to tell which set of life forms were less hostile from a distance. So off he went, it was time to start exploring this strange new world.
Taking a guess, 701 figured that each gate was at least a couple miles away from that horrendous statue that he first appeared at. The good part about that was, he wouldn't be able to clearly see the damn thing from any of the gates, so if he could manage to forget it, he might never have to see it again! The bad thing was, he would always be able to see it due to the perfectly flat landscape that made up the place he was in... So if he could remember not to look over there, while also forgetting what the statue was, he'd be set.
About a mile into his walk, the trooper decided it would be a good time to make a pair of binoculars and check each of the gates out. So just like when he made the omnillium into a death laser for his lightsaber, he took the sphere of omnillium from the pouch he kept it in and held it out in front of him. He focused on making himself a pair of electrobinoculars, as they were the best for viewing things from a distance. Sure, there were a couple other models that some might argue are better, but he just liked that kind. After a few minutes of concentration, a pair of electrobinoculars finally appeared in his hand. Placing the rest of the omnillium in the same pouch he had it in before, 701 held the device of to his helmet and waited for it to focus.
The first gate, which was made of a nice, well kept stone, had a bunch of weird-looking people in armor standing outside of it. They all carried swords and looked like they hadn't bathed in a while. Sure, he'd gone a week or two without bathing because of guard duty, but he never looked like that. So it seemed that gate was out as well, as the gate itself looked nice, the people kinda didn't. So onto the last gate! This one was made of a strangely familiar looking metal.. Almost reminded 701 of corusca- "Oh fuck no!" He exclaimed. There were stormtroopers. Was this some kind of joke? This is supposed to be a whole new world outside of any world they've ever known! Did it really only take the empire a few fucking minutes to track the place down and start building shit of their own!?
Maybe it was all a big joke. It had to be, what else would explain the fact that there were more stormtroopers than himself here. Sure, he could make something out of basically nothing, but that just had to be some kind of new technology, right? Maybe that was his reward, first lab rat for this new technology that is potentially dangerous, but turns stormtroopers into god damn sith lords. That had to be it. Taking a deep breath in, 701 knew that he would have to report to the stormtroopers at the gate and end the whole joke. Then he would probably get placed on guard duty or something shitty like that... After all, it's a new planet, and he would never get told to do something cool like "explore it" or something.
Just so that he could get the whole damn thing over with, the trooper jogged the rest of the distance to the gate. It only took a few minutes before he finally got there, and for all of the troopers stationed there were staring at him. He assumed this was because they were all laughing inside their helmets, trying not to laugh too loudly so the mics wouldn't pick it up. Were they really trying to keep the joke going?
"TK701 reporting for duty!" He said with a salute. He could only assume that one of the bastards there was a superior, so the salute would be a necessity if he didn't want to get chewed out.
"What the hell were you doing out there soldier!? Didn't you know that's where primes come in?" One of the troopers approached him, and oddly enough, it didn't sound like he was holding back any laughs. It actually seemed like he was pissed at him, or worried about his well being.
"What are you talking about? This isn't some kind of joke? Some jack ass in the sky told me I was a prime, and that this is a new world. Figured some one was fucking with me while I slept." After he said he was a prime, the troopers stared at him in silence. They kept this up for a few moments before one of them turned to another and nodded his head, only for the one receiving the nod ran back into a building.
"Wait there for a sec, he's grabbing the boss."
