“This is your simulator?” the Reignor asked as the pair walked up to a small building just beyond the Star Force embassy. It was a vertical cylinder, set amidst the trees that were only a third of its height. No connection was visible to the nearby Star Force buildings, which were much taller, and behind a defensive wall. This building had been built deliberately outside.

“This is where you learn the truth of the lightside,” Davis said, gesturing to the nearby curved wall with a hand…only to have that wall melt away into a hidden entrance that was just barely tall enough for the Neofan’s 10 foot height. “Forget everything from your past and it will help you open your mind to new possibilities. The truth is always there to be relearned. But lies die when they lose their grasp on you.”

“Do I enter alone?”

“No,” Davis said, leading the way. “Follow me.”

The Reignor did as instructed, feeling a surge of fear run through him. It was light, but something he was very unaccustomed with. Even the fall of his own galaxy had not bothered him in this way, though in truth he had never witnessed it. As Reignor he was kept far from danger, and only knew of it from his younger eras…which were far behind him now.

When the Human walked in he disappeared through the threshold, for it was some type of stealth field, and when he followed the glossy black surface didn’t restrain him in the least. He stepped through in a moment of darkness, then his vision returned and he saw a modestly sized circular room seeming to match the footprint of the building, but it was smaller. That much he could tell at a glance, though his vision was drawn to the galactic hologram slowly rotating in the center, half again above his head height.

“This is the way I see the galaxy,” Davis admitted. “In my position I can’t go into the field without losing contact with the rest of my empire. My people are my eyes and ears, though I have to calibrate myself to the lack of personal experience or I’ll eventually start seeing numbers rather than people. Everything in the galaxy that happens occurs at a personal level. All larger scales are built upon smaller scales interacting, and I cannot ever forget that. We protect the empire by protecting the individuals in it. Sacrificing or betraying the individual weakens the empire as a whole by weakening its foundation. Many techniques that would appear to be expedient in the short term compromise the long term. And the darkside thrives in the short term. If one is to be lightside, you must survive long enough to develop your power, for it doesn’t come easily for the beginner.”

“Noted,” the Reignor said, taking a vague interest in the aspects of the map that were different than the Neofan version.

“This is the Solar System, our capitol,” Davis said, snapping his fingers and having the galaxy smoothly zoom
