Locke
Puppet Master
The world didn't matter. Never mattered. A mystery among the stars. Known, but not to him. The name didn't matter to him. Only the task. The goal. The end.
The signs led him here. An unknown planet around another star. Seemingly useless. Pointless. A backwater, perhaps. Perhaps not. He didn't care. Couldn't. The signs led onward. Forward. Beyond. A faint glimmer dancing in air. Like light shimmering on water. It glinted above the ground. Like a diamond suspended in air.
It drew the figures onward. All were armored. Two carried blasters, one wore robes. The night air coalesced around them. Around him. Danced at his feet. Roiled as he walked. He could hear the song once more. Calling. Crooning. Another task. His work endless. Eternal.
The night grew old. It was nearly time. Earth crunched silently under armored boots.
The figures walked on.
