《Worth: A Star Wars Story》//PRELUDE: A Message From Kando
Advertisement
Dear Kid,
Or maybe "kids". Who knows? You two might know one another someday if the Empire decides to be kind or the war ends before your lives do. Maybe you'll even be friends. I can't help but wonder what it would have been like if you two had met before... before, well, everything. You're more alike than you'd think.
I'm, ah, narrating this for you now because... Well, because I'm afraid of losing what little is left. The Empire likes to embellish things. They also like to forget. If by some miracle these rebels win, then chances are their Republic won't talk about this all either. Makes them look bad, you know? Creating an army of slave soldiers to fight their wars isn't exactly the image they want to recall the good ol' days. You both deserve the full truth. The entire account of my life.
It may be hard for you, Shiny, to understand most of what I did at the end, but know that I have always tried to do the right thing, by the Empire, the Republic, and everyone in it. Everything I did was for the Republic and my brothers. I thought of nothing else until that oath I took began to affect the men around me. I was loyal until I couldn't do it anymore. I hope you realize it earlier than I did if that time ever comes, and I hope you do the right thing. remember: the men at your shoulders and behind you are the only real things that matter. Never forget that.
Talen, you were bright. You were smart. You were brave. Most of all, you were kind. I hope that despite whatever the world has thrown at you since that day in that shuttle bay, that you never lost that ability to be kind. I never had the luxury of being gentle. Hold that gift close and never let it go. The world is getting darker no matter where you stand. You're a Jedi. You are that light for everyone who followed you just like the Empire is for others. Don't ever let that light go out.

I probably won't make it off Mimban. I'm getting old and these deployments are getting longer and longer. I've got grey in my hair now. Lots of it. Once I outlive my usefulness....
Well, I'd prefer not to think about that. You're alive, and I'm not. Guess that's all that matters in the end. To me, at least. You both made it, and I can't tell you how kriffing proud I am to have known you. Both of you.
There were times I thought about having family and what it meant, about having sons or daughters to remember you when you're gone. I never had that privilege, but you two are the closest thing I have to living family. I guess that will have to be enough, and I want you both to know that it's more than enough to have two living people to remember me by when all of my brothers are gone.
Remember me. I don't want anything else. I don't deserve anything else. For all the bad I did, I hope I did some good by helping you two. If you both live to be good people, then I've done enough.
Vode An, Shiny. May the Force be with you, Talen.
This is CT-7209...
No. This is Kando, signing off one last time.

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!
