Author's Note:
I know, judging by the title it seems weird, but that was the idea i came up with.
Guest Characters:
-Office Job Talking Letters (Now Secondary Characters)
-Mustache Guy from Element Animation™
It was another usual day on the Death Star, (as usual as it can get), Imperial were either planning their next move against the Rebels, some preparing for their next assigned mission, some doing maintenance on the Death Star or their TIE Fighters, or some just resting.
Storage Facility:
We go here to find Mike Barry, Carrie and Nelson looking at the junk Mike got from that vendor on Tatooine, and we're exploring what each thing does.
"It's weird Mike, that vendor sold all that he had just for 8 credits", Barry says.
"And we just only went through a part of the junk, just how much did that vendor give you for 8 credits?', Carrie asks.
"I just went with a good deal, that's what i did", Mike replies as he searches through the junk, "Okay, let's see what does this do", Mike says picking up a randomizing remote.
Mike presses the remote and out of nowhere random letters with limbs appear in the room.
"Letters of the alphabet, not aurebesh?", Barry says.
"This is just weird", Nelson says.
"Wonder if this does the same thing", Mike presses the button again, only for a magnifier to appear, and showing a magnified image of an egg with a face wearing a sombrero, and that's just smiling.
"Okay, that living egg is just creepy", Nelson says and adds. "And we should come back to that remote later".
"Yeah seems like a good idea", Mike says putting the remote away in the junk.
"Excuse me, but where am i? The last thing i remember was trading stock", that voice came from one of the letters, the letter 'S'.
"Uh?", Mike, Barry and Carrie had no other words to say, as for Nelson, he immediately said. "Storage facility".
"Oh okay, can i use that computer over there, i'm an office worker, and the rest of us want to do some work. The letter 'S' said along with a few other letters that agree.
"Yeah, you can use those", Mike says.
The letters started grabbing the computers and started setting up a small office near an empty spot.
The Emperor's Throne Room:
Palpatine was at a desk, doing some paperwork while Vader is sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper.
Palpatine mumbles to himself while he signs documents. " Material Import to the outer worlds, sign that, Improvement of military weapons, compensation for the Safety Inspector's daughter, sign that".
"Vader, may i ask, what was the cause of that safety inspector's death? This paper requires his cause of death", Palpatine asks.
Vader goes silent for a while and then flashbacks to the weeks before when he threw the inspector down the reactor. "Well, during the last inspection, he accidentally fell over the railing and fell down the reactor", Vader calmly says as he returns to read the paper.
"Ouch, guess we need better railing", Palpatine was about to sign another document, until he got a call from his Comm Link that came from the Maintenance Droids near the reactor.
"Emperor, we have found a body near the-", the maintenance droid couldn't finish since Vader force pushed it to the side of the reactor wall.
"Ouch for that droid, i'll check into that later", Palpatine says as he continues to sign his documents until he saw a notice on one of them. "a leak!? When did we get a data leak to Galaxy Rumors!?"
Storage Facility:
1-2 Hours have passed and the 1 empty spot of the facility became a bustling office, with letters hard at work (And a few of them having a breakdown).
"Is it just me, or is this workspace of theirs a bit dramatic?", Barry asks.
"Not really, we're mostly questioning that egg with a mustache", Carrie replies.
"And when i look at that egg, i think it killed before", Mike says with a scared and monotone voice.
"Also, wasn't there a leak about the Death Star to Galaxy Rumors?", Nelson asks as he inspected the randomizer remote.
"Let me borrow that for a second", a letter 'T' grabbed the remote from Nelson and modified it for a moment. "There, now it has a holo projector to display information", the letter T said as it placed the remote back in Nelson's hand.
"Thanks, i guess", Nelson says as he looks through info screen of the remote.
"I think that egg is gonna kill someone eventually", Mike says in fear and with a dull voice, while Barry and Carrie drag him away from the magnifier and talk about something else to get his mind off of that egg.
Nelson then goes sees the info screen of the remote and sees what's programmed into it.
"Okay, now what's programmed into this remote?", Nelson says as he starts going through the info
The Emperor's Throne Room:
Back with Vader and Palpatine, Palpatine was currently recovering from his short rampage of trashing his own belongings and is currently pacing back and forth.
"What to do, what to do, what to do!", Palpatine repeats as he paced back and forth.
"Master, you're thinking of this the wrong way, whoever's responsible for that leak to Galaxy Rumors will be dealt with", Vader says as he reads a magazine.
"You don't understand", Palpatine says.
"What could i possibly not understand?", Vader asks.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...", Palpatine tries to think of a good excuse.
Flashback
We see Palpatine alone in his office on Coruscant and watching something on Coreflix (My idea for their version of Netflix).
"Today, on this episode of Tiny House Hunters, we go to Lothal and this family, looking for a brand new home", The narrator of the show said.
"Now this is how i enjoy a saturday", Palpatine says to himself as he enjoys buttered popcorn.
End of Flashback
"Well you see, it's complicated to explain", Palpatine said as his excuse.
"As you say, my Master", Vader says as he continues to read his magazine (Which has Padme Amidala on the front cover).
"And judging by that old issue of 'Faces of the Republic', you haven't moved on from her yet", Palpatine mumbles to himself.
Storage Facility:
"That egg is gonna kill someone eventually, his face says it all, and i think he calls himself, Mustache Guy", Mike says as he sits in the empty corner of his storage complex near the entrance, being paranoid.
"Whatever he saw in that egg, we shouldn't question it", Barry says.
"If we know Mike, he'll calm down eventually", Carrie adds.
"Mustache Guy might kill one of us", Mike says in fear and paranoia.
We go back to Nelson as he looks looks through the information of the randomizer remote. from it's programmed settings, to the many worlds it has in record.
"Okay, all these worlds are something", Nelson says as he list downs the worlds onto his datapad. "Space Pirates, now that's interesting", Nelson says as he continues to note down the remote's information.
With Barry he was talking to one of the letters, and is asking them why they do an office job.
"Well that's easy, the only job here us letters come from is corporate work, it's not much, but we all get a good pay every week, most of us just work for the money, or to mess around, most of us here mess around", the letter said, who was a letter 'E'.
"I see, and what about the egg?", Barry asks.
"The egg is not with us", the letter 'E' said, "But according to Terence, that egg seems familiar".
"Wait, you letters have names?", Barry asks a bit surprised.
"What do you think, we're just taking letters who go by what letter we are? By the way, the name's Ezekiel", the letter 'E' said, who is now identified as Ezekiel.
"Barry, but my Operating Number is MX-842", he says as he shakes hands with Ezekiel.
"Guess everything's going", Carrie says as she looks back at Mike and the magnifier and finds Mustache Guy no longer there. "Okay, where's that egg?".
"He's gonna kill someone eventually...", Mike says still paranoid while still staying in the corner.
"How can a living egg of that size kill someone?", Carrie asks.
"When i looked at that egg, i could see Mustache Guy showing someone a dead body", Mike says in fear.
"Okay, then, but how did you get paranoid by looking at that egg?, Carrie asks.
"You wouldn't understand the things that i saw", Mike says still paranoid and shudders.
"How much damage can an egg do?", Carrie says doubting what Mike said.
Palpatine's Throne Room:
Palpatine continued to sign his documents as he mumbled to himself, but as he continued to sign documents, Mustache Guy was on his desk just smiling at him.
"Well, what do you want?", Palpatine asked Mustache Guy, expecting to get an answer. But Mustache Guy just started at him smiling, while being silent.
"Not much of a talker, are you?", Palpatine asks Mustache Guy another question, but doesn't answer.
"This is getting nowhere", Palpatine said as he grabbed Mustache Guy, placed him inside the elevator which lead to the main hallway.
"There, taken care of that", Palpatine says as he stretches and returns to his desk.
"Did you say something, Master?", Vader asks, not looking away from the new magazine he's reading.
"Nah, just gave myself something to do for a bit", Palpatine says as he sits back down, and continues to do his paperwork.
"If that's what it is, Master", Vader says as he gets back to reading his new Magazine of 'Empire Today'.
Hallway; 1 Floor below the Emperor's Throne Room:
Mustache Guy arrived in the hallway and hops out of the elevator and then wanders into another room, which was a media room. Mustache wanders into the room and finds the media staff on break. Mustache then climbs up a table manages to put the camera on the air, and gets in front of the camera which broadcasts him just smiling, confusing some of the Imperial Staff, and getting Palpatine's attention on his work comm link.
"Is this some sort of joke? This isn't joke day, is it Vader?", Palpatine asks Vader who was reading another magazine, Vader stops reading his magazine for a bit and replies. "No, it is not".
"If this is some joke, it's okay, but if it isn't, whoever is in charge of media is getting it, like that leak to Galaxy Rumors", Palpatine says as he gets back to his paperwork. "Just a hundred more things to sign".
Mustache Guy went on a parade of causing confusion on the Death Star, moving things, letting people question what he is, and after he was done, Mustache Guy made his way back to the storage facility, only to get crushed by a brick that fell off s shelf. Which kinda made Mike sense something. "At last, the smiling murderer is gone", Mike says as he snaps out of his paranoia and exits his storage complex to find a bustling office area.
"Woah, what is this, the Imperial Marketing Office?", Mike asks, completely surprised.
"Actually, this isn't part of the Marketing Division, we here at Letters Incorporated™, are dedicated to delivering the needs of this storage facilities items, to those who desire.", another letter said, who was the letter 'A'. "Also, the name's Alvin, and you're Mike, correct?".
"Yes, and what did i miss exactly?", Mike asks Alvin.
"Well, this is what you missed, Barry and Ezekiel, did work on inventory stock, Terence did a test on Carrie's performance as a sniper, and Nelson spent the last 20 something minutes recording world information on the randomizer remote", Alvin says.
"So that's what that remote does", Mike says.
"Also, a few of us here managed to find the source of the leak, send it to one of your Imperial Officers, who will deliver it to the Emperor", Alvin finishes.
"Huh, okay", Mike replies.
