Kolto.
That's what they call this stuff. Kolto. I don't know much, but I do know that.
Well that just makes it sound so depressing. I don't know where I am, who I am, how I got here, or anything important, but at least after what feels like a kriffing hour I've remembered what I woke up swimming in. Whatever. Crawl before you can walk and all that. Maybe in another hour I'll remember something else inconsequential.

Bored now. Bored, bored, bored. Oh look, a bubble in the tank. It must have come through the kolto feed, just like every other bubble I've seen in this thing. Up it goes, to the top. And now it's reached the air gap at the top. Bye-bye, bubble.
Let's look around and see what's outside my tank. For the fiftieth time this hour. Panel covered in blinking lights and buttons, check. Closed door, check. Camera in the corner, check. Ceiling lights, currently out, check. Tube shoved down my throat so I don't starve or drown, check. Disgusting glop coming through the tube that I can't help but ingest, check. Why is it everything good for you is borderline inedible?
Wish I could hear something. The noise of the kolto circulating drowns out everything. I can't hear the machines or anything. I can barely even hear myself think. It's calming, though. It's not horribly grating or anything.

Well, that was a nice nap. Oh look, the ceiling lights are on.
Wait, what?
Hey, the door's opening. Oh, what's that guy's race? Can't remember, exactly, I think it starts with an S or something like that…Sexos or something. Hilarious name for guys with four arms. Hi, Sexo guy. Can you get me some decent food? Maybe some clothes too? Get me out of the tank first, of course.
Come on, man, look at me. Yoo-hoo, up here, guy in a kolto tank, want to get out. Come on, I'm waving hi. You can wave too. You'd better be able to kriffing wave with all those arms, or evolution cocked up somewhere along the line. Yeah, there you go, hi, up here. Hi, Sexmachine. Why so surprised? Hey, hey, buddy, eyes up here. I know it's big and all, but it's not for you. That is the right facial expression, though, that open-mouthed awe. I like that facial expression. Wish I got that more when I was naked.
Wish I could remember the last time I was naked before this, too.
Leaving so soon? I'd tell you to hurry, but you already are. Get me a Corellian ale while you're out.
I don't even know how I knew to ask for that. It just sounded right. Do I even like Corellian ale?
