Cut Scene 1

It started in the Space Hub, the way it always does.

The Space Hub was located on Planet Earth, beneath the Palace of the Imperator at the center of the Galaxy Empire. Greens met at the Hub, exchanging information and leads, trading goods, and socializing before entering a Void Portal on a new quest for adventure and Experience. Void Portals reached out like fingers across the Known Universe, allowing Greens the ability to cross vast distances in a moment. Planet Earth was one of the few places not accessible by Space Hub, Earth still needed to be reached by space ship, and attempting that without summons was a certain way to be shot down by the Imperator's security forces. 

Kilgore was a Galaxy Knight, the hammer used by the Imperator to forge the Galaxy Empire. The Galaxy Knights were the  most dedicated of all the Imperator's servants. Kilgore wore heavy armor that had been welded to his skeleton at the age of 14. Servos and robotics enhanced his movement and ballistic skills, and he was a Green ranked high enough to summon Blue Galaxy Knights to fight beside him. Kilgore was part of the Steel Brethren bloodline, the hardest and most bloodthirsty of the entire army.

Most space travelers were Green. Blues populated planets, prepared and sold equipment and supplies, and filled ranks for the armies that clashed on the planets throughout Known Space. Greens could make choices, determine their own fate. Blues followed and repeated the same task over again, day after day with only sleep and food as a break from the monotonous life.

Kilgore had been torn apart fighting Spidrons on the planet Dunkist in the Kzari System. There were heavy losses, but any losses were acceptable in the battle against the Spidrons. Kilgore awoke in the Space Hub, stripped of any items he collected since his last save. He went to the merchant pod where Blues sold goods for Greens about to embark on quests across an entire universe of creature, creed, and kind. Kilgore needed ammunition. As many Spidrons as Kilgore could blow apart, more flew in to replace them. Experience was boundless, he hit a new level every time he joined a quest. Kilgore needed to know when to pull back and save. The swarm always advanced.

WILLFUL1: Your mother is in danger, Kyle.

The stranger opened a quest menu, but Kilgore pushed him aside and kept walking. The stranger followed.  Strangers always follow, they always continue talking. That is when Kilgore noticed the stranger was Green.  He stopped. Kilgore never saw a Green offer a quest, this was the sole domain of Blues that didn't get bored waiting in a single place for days or years until a Green came along to accept. 

WILLFUL1: I can save your mother.

That was not Kilgore's name. Kilgore never heard that name, but still it resonated in his blood. .

WILLFUL1: Your mother will die if you don't listen to me, Kyle.

Willful1 gifted Kilgore a beacon. Kilgore was stunned, and accepted without realizing what he was doing. The beacon added a green flag to his Sephiroth. It appeared to sit just beyond the limits of Kilgore’s vision. The name was ‘Sita Moon.’

WILLFUL1: I can save you, Kyle.
