        As I slowly walked down the Chimaera's 3rd deck hall to the bar to grab a soda and watch some ESPN to relax, I saw a quick spark coming from the main operations room. I ran quickly over to see just what the spark was. I opened the door and everything started to be sucked into a hole like a black hole and I was knocked out by some junk hitting me in the head.

        I woke up the next day not knowing the time, date, etc. As I looked around it seemed to be that I was in a park in some city. This lone planet looked like one I had seen pictures in the mail from my aunt Patty. I walked over and asked a person for the date. The person said "No prob man its the 18 of March the year 2000" then followed by "Are you like one of those dudes that like forget who they are? Whoa cool man!".

        Yes, I still knew who I was but didn't know where I was and how I got here and what year I was from. The year 2000. What year was I from? I think it was the year 2000, or maybe not. I traveled by a taxi cab which I have read about on on my free time in books in the ISD. I was dropped of by a place called the police station it said "To protect and to serve", so I figured they could get me back to the Imperial fleet. I knew I wouldn't be looking for anything fancy like our uniforms but when I walked in their uniforms disgusted me. Anyways when I asked them if they knew when the next shuttle would be leaving to take new recruits and other officers back up to the Imperial fleet, they looked at me like I was crazy. They then offered me a night to stay in their headquarters, which I thought wasn't very clean. It had a toilet, a bed, and I was in a cage. I mean where were the other men, the officers? The next day they told me I was free to go.

        I kinda thought and then said "oh well doesn't matter now" and left. I went to the one thing I knew would have the most information: a thing called a Library, which for some reason I knew. I searched and searched all day but alas I found nothing but things called planes and space shuttles. I realized that either the earth planet was dumb and forgot about the Imperial fleet, or I was dreaming. I kinda sat there until I saw a computer.

        I remembered in the Academy I took a course on those old machines. I ran up and started to use it. A small child was playing with a TIE Fighter. I stared. He said "What ain't ya ever seen Stawr wars before". Confused I said no. I spent the next hour on the site where I saw everything and how it was all just a movie. I thought to myself: "Have I been dreaming all along about this? Have I really only been dreaming about this so called career of mine? Was I just knocked out playing football in the park and a friend of mine ran to get help?"

        That was when I found the Galactic Empire web site club. I scanned over it for a while. I knew I must have let my imagination get to me. I was in this club. Everything was coming back to me. It was only on the Internet. My friend then came running in; it was a girl that looked great. She said "Matt you look confused what's wrong?". I said "Its a Long story, its a long story".
