the mock mingle

[An hour ago you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, awakened by a chirpy, feminine voice coming from the device on your non-dominant arm. The voice cheerfully requests that you exit your sleeping quarters and to please make your way to the the main deck of the ship for a debriefing on your circumstances.

It was around this time you might have noticed the clothes you last remember wearing are gone and replaced with this little number. If you take a moment to check out the Personal Identification Program on your arm, you'll find a touch screen with a few icons that lead to a series of 21 profiles and a series of apps that lead to note-taking functions and a number of customization appearance screens. The profiles all contain a photo of each Champion, their name and title, their age, species and world of origin.

As you stumbled out of your chrome-y quarters (into an equally chrome-y hallway), with every step the floor lights up under your feet, illuminating the dark ship a little at a time. On one side of the hallway are a series of mechanical doors with screen pads embedded on the walls next to them. A quick flash of your PIP will open them for you without hassle. On the opposite side of the hallway are a long string of windows showing nothing but vast amounts of stars and the deep, dark blackness of deep space. Once you reach the end of the hallway you'll find a large central living space with 20 other people, the same people from the profiles, either there already or filing in along with you. Floating well above everyone's heads in the middle of the room is a large computer screen. Once everyone piled in, the screen blinked to life and the same voice from your PIPs greeted you in the same peppy tone from before.

The voice introduced herself as the Champion Excellence Control Environment or C.E.C.E. before welcoming you to the Deep Space Champion Excellence Program, explaining that you were selected for this program based on being the best in your particular field in your particular world, hence the title of "Champion". In this program you will be expected to live communally together here on the ship for as long as possible. The ship is fully-functional and fully-stocked for an extended stay.

Oh? You don't want to stay and participate in the program? That's alright, there's an easy fix to that! All you have to do is kill one of your fellow Champions and not get caught. That is easy enough, right? Right.

When the debriefing is complete, the screen dims but doesn't turn off completely. If need be C.E.C.E. is available to answer any more questions you have throughout the week. For now, you're free to explore the ship as you like. There's the communal dining hall, a zero gravity room, a kitchen, a holo deck, the central living area and the personal quarters everyone woke up in.

Go make some friends, dears, you may be here a while.]

[Okay, but is his dad your role model as Darth Vader or as Anakin Skywalker because that could mean two different things ok ok.]

Really? We only really just saved it yesterday. I guess news travels fast.

[ Definitely Darth Vader, he was way cooler when he was evil, bro. ]

That's just 'cause you made it here right on time, dude. I mean, if we're going by time, that'd make your dad's movies newer, and that makes like no sense.

... what's a movie?

[They don't have those in a galaxy far, far away.]

Ohhhh, man. You really don't know?

[ Someone pinch him, he's gonna explain movies to Luke. Skywalker. ]

So a movie, right? It's like a... long-form holo message? But like, with big sets and special effects and space ships! And explosions!!

Oh, you mean a holovid. [He didn't just fall out of a produce-delivery landspeeder yesterday.] I know what that is. You have to go to Mos Eisley or Mos Espa to see one, though.

Yeah, holovid! Those!

[ Can't get those on the moisture farm, can you? Barney is still way excited, Luke Skywalker is talking about these things for real. ]

We have things like DVDs and movie theaters where I'm from. Like I said, your story? Way popular. A real modern classic.

... I guess I'm flattered.

[He's kind of worried for whoever made a holovid about him, though. The Empire is not going to think kindly about that kind of thing.]

You should be! You're like the galaxy's biggest celebrity!

...Next to your dad, of course.

[ Of course. ]
