The sky was dark and cold, rain seemed to appear out of thin air and hit the windshield of the emergency hover craft. The headlights of the hover craft shown into the rain, giving it a vortex look that gave way to the appearance of light speed. Inside the cab was silence. Gears turned, buttons clicked and a soft glow from the controls illuminated Biggs' face. His hands pressed the buttons to stabilize the craft after heavy wind flow through the tall structures of the world wide city. His fingers, though metallic, moved across the control panel in a fluid like manner. If the scientists back at the Institute had bothered to make him more humanoid and apply synthetic skin to his exterior maybe he wouldn't have been such a freak, but then again the way the doctors and technicians looked at him in fear and disgust Biggs guess there wasn't much love for the field of furthering the Synthetic human.
Droids were all the rage now in every world, stretching from Core Worlds to Outer Rim territories you could turn around an see a mass of mechanical parts moving with the same lazy expressions their makers had given a hundred others just like them. Biggs cringed at the thought, although he could physically cringe, the thought still struck him as disgust. He knew there were protocols against harming sentient life that the droids had been given, but because he was no droid, a real life human brain was implanted in his head that could not be programmed, he felt hatred for any droid no willing to fight against the system. It was a problem that no one saw, at least no one saw yet.
The emergency hover craft came to a halt at a speeder garage. The craft he had stolen from the Institute was high profile, he needed something fast that no one would look twice at. Biggs parked the large craft in the back lot, shut of the engines and threw the starter key off the edge into the abyss of the Machine World. Everything seemed so alive to him. His vision wasn't that of a humans, at least not completely. He saw the surges of electrical power throughout the world, it was Machine after all, and just like the parasites they are the sentient creatures inhabited it.
Biggs walked to the elevator in the garage lot, two other people occupied the space. Before the light from the elevator hit his face he quickly pulled his hood up over his head and let the shadow from the hood take care of the rest. His eyes clicked and rotated to adjust to the sudden change of brightness from the dark garage and city to the light elevator. He clicked the 52th floor button, while the other two buttons were press for the 78th floor and the 61st floor. Being at the 80th floor the elevator whizzed down at lightning speed, stopping and dropping off the first occupant on its floor, an alien of some kind, Biggs paid no attention to it, it mattered little to his agenda. The 61st floor came up next, a human of some sort stood off, this district looked to be a market square just like the other countless markets dotting over Coruscant. The 50th floor came up next, his floor. A small hangar for speeder bikes. A platform jutted out into the city lights, no speeders were present as it was too dark, too dangerous for a race this late at night. He saw the nearest one, it would do. A one seated speeder, the color was glossy blue, it reflected the dim lighting of the speeder bike garage, it also caught the eye of Biggs. There was only maybe two or three people present here now, all of them were probably off partying somewhere. He sat in the comfy leather seat, the steel handle bars felt natural to his metal embrace. Biggs clicked a couple levers on the bikes control panel and the machine started right up. He took it out to the platform, looked both ways and once the coast was clear he left. No trace he was ever there, although it was unfortunate he was now in the possession of one sweet hover bike and the former owner would be no doubt angry he didn't much care. He had to find a way to get off the planet before it was locked down. The Institute would surely be looking for him by now....
