13 had told that he would meet him at the library later, he was going to explore tier 2 some more first. 13 wandered around, looking at houses being sold and bought. Shops filled with citizens trying to get through their day without bumping into each other. The citizens were just living their lives, it almost made 13 feel guilty about the war that was no doubt eventually happen on these grounds, almost. 13 walked over to a shop and looked what seemed to be a comms unit. He walked up to the shopkeeper, “Ello, ello ello! What do we have here? A new prime looking for a communicator? Could be because…. You lied that you had a number? How do I know? I ‘dunno. But you better get a communicator sooner rather than later or it could backfire really bad.” 13 stood in silence, confused.
“OK, I’ll bite. How much for one of these or the blueprint?”
“Just 200 OM for you sunshine.”
“I will take it.” The shopkeeper handed him the blueprint and then leaned towards where 13’s ear should be, he whispered slowly; “I have got a special deal for someone like you, someone who can not hide their thoughts and might want to get some help escaping from the authorities. A special glass vial, along with the blueprint. Fill it up with anything and you’ll be good to go.”
“Hand it over and you will get your payment.”
“Pleasure doing business with you.” The shopkeeper handed 13 the glass bottle and a blueprint, 13 focused and a small rainbow orb with all the colours known to mankind shimmering inside of it came out. He watched it slowly move and be absorbed into the shopkeeper, it was interesting, to say the least. “And one last tip, you may be seeing heresy in just Palpatine but believe me, look a bit further and you might find it. Look around, do you see the technology these people have? Think about that. Anyway, see you later, probably.” 13 thought about that for a second, he hadn’t even taken in his surroundings he was so focused on his job. Normally this would be a good thing but at the moment definitely not. 13 walked away and turned his head quickly, all around him he could see flying cars. The buildings were filled with civilians, not working to help turn the crucibles of war. Suppressed rage built up within 13, fighting to get out. If he had been a skitarii alpha, which he was nearing to, or a tech priest it may have been too much and he would have started shooting everyone here but for now, he didn’t. The hereteks and heretics of this land would pay in due time but that wasn’t what he was here for.
13 sat down at a restaurant selling some type of meat between a wheat substance, it’d have to for now at least. 13 took off his mask and started tinkering with the communicator while eating the food at the same time. 13 finished both at the same time and he heard a ringing inside of his mind, he ‘picked it up’ and a low, static voice spoke to him. “Look at what is in front of you, do you even know what’s inside that? You’re no like them, you’re better and you know it, you need something more. You need to keep it real, now run.” 13 stood up and began moving as fast as he could without making it seem suspicious. He walked onto the road as he saw a group of cars hurtling towards him at top speed, he ran as far forward as he could but only just managed to turn away before the cars went past where he was before. He tripped and fell on the ground, look up he observed people sitting on seats on a conveyer belt, being trimmed by a floating robotic orb with scissors and combs. “So close, but you’ve got a long way to go.” Running back onto the street he crossed the road just before another car hit him, 13 looked around, he was in some kind of market. He got caught on something which tied up his arms with his head, struggling, he fell off a ledge onto a pile of hay. 13 got up and walked up the nearest set of stairs when he saw a drugged up man walking towards him, his smile as wide as his eyes. 13 saw a truck coming towards the highway near an open door, he ran outside and jumped onto the truck but almost immediately he tumbled off. 13 shakily stood up, seeing the library for the first time. The voice let out a deep laugh, “Congratulations, you’ve made it.” 13 walked into the library, ready to face anything after what just happened.
