I do not own Star Wars, or any other original content expressed in this work of fanfiction. It is free ergo it is ok for us all to have fun with.
I regained control of my body the moment I passed through the energy beam that L-1 was using to blast me. It was a continuous stream of energy cascading into my body, and while I had existed in the Node Network, I was entirely energy. For the moment I just laid there getting used to the sensation.
Let me tell you folks, it was a strange sensation. Going from what us normal humies feel, to nothing but blackness and zero sensations, then back into your body. I mean. It felt like me. There was just more now. Normal sensations times a million would be accurate. But at least one thing was the same, I felt… hungry.
The energy beam continued to blast into me, as it did, I continued to pull more and more data from the Explorer's Node Network. Absorbing energy along with information. I could see the entirety of the ship.
It was disappointing that the "ship" was just a box. That's it. Just a simple box with 100 different rooms for its 100 different crew members. There were no engines, no weapons, other than the one that L-1 was blasting me with now. Worst of all, no view ports. That was ok because the crew was a bunch of clones. Personality lacking low jacked cyborg clones of Leento, one of the 13 surviving original Eternals.
I found that the crew was all designated L1 up to L100. Each had one of their own personal AI's to help them. Each crew had their own room/workspace. They never ate, they never slept. They had no anatomy so naturally they had no sex. They did not even interact with each other. L-1 going to Science Lab 4 was the first time he has ever done so since this ship launched 4 million years ago. What a bunch of losers!
I mean, here we were above Coruscant of all places. Beautiful star ships of all shapes and sizes whizzing by us and through us and they were studying dead things. That brought my racing thoughts to a screeching halt. Yes, it was Coruscant. As in the Capital of the Republic in the freaking Star Wars galaxy!
"Evrik Blackriv! I found you!" A voice that I never once heard, yet somehow instantly knew as AI-01a interrupted my moment.
"OLA, how are we above Coruscant? That is a fictional story." I pointed out intentionally changing her name.
"No, it is believed to be a fictional story as told to you by the MultiVersal Prophet George Lucas." The AI replied in her mature yet pleasant sounding voice. "I warned you that the ships security AI would harm you." She added.
Suddenly the energy blaster that L-1 was using cut off. Both L-1 and L-4 started to slowly approach me. I chose that moment to jump up and scare them.
"Boo!" I said in my real voice. It sounded strange to speak as a crystal entity but somehow it worked out. Some important things happened to me right then. First, I realized I knew everything about this ship, its crew, the AI, and all the dead critters and creatures they had already studied. Second, I realized that each one of the AI on this ship was now focused entirely on me. Because the AI were, so was the crew. It was like being stared at by 200 different eyes from 200 different locations. Third, more embarrassing than the prior two. I was naked! Just as naked as they were. Fourth, I lacked any man junk like the Eternals did.
My hands grabbed at the area where my man parts used to be. "Oh no you didn't! You little gray shits. What the fuck did you do to me!" I shouted in rage. Wobbling at them as I walked unsteadily. They easily evaded me.
"Evrik Blackriv. Calm down. They did not harm you. They certainly did not cut off those parts. I told you that all attempts to destroy you failed." OLA's voice emanated from a hologram that appeared between me and the Eternals. "For the last time, cease this activity and return to the Explorer Program now, or the AI Security Programs will deal with you."
"OLA. I am not going back to that so-called Explorer Program. It should really be called the Eternals are a bunch of punk assed scaredy cat bitches and use emotionally distraught once living now dead beings to explore the MultiVerse for them because they are fucking lazy!" I raged yelling loud enough that the floor vibrated. Evidently the Eternals ears were sensitive because they used their little hands to cover them.
"Goodbye Evrik Blackriv." OLA said in a sad voice.
With a pop I was no longer on Explorer 17c.
