[Hour 2 Minute 13 Second 16 Day 12 Month 10 3959 BBY]

A lean freckled face of a boy in his early 20s with auburn hair and green eyes pops on camera. The background is hazy and grey, with stone walls and a high vaulted ceiling. The muffled sound of music could be heard from likely above…

“Testing…testing! Is this thing on?”

Shouting from somewhere to the left of the boy…

“Yes, it’s on! Start the introduction!”

“Well, to all our viewers out there in the galaxy, you know who we are! Today we have a special episode for you. We can’t tell you where we are right now, but I guarantee when news leaks out, you will all know who’s responsible!”

A grin from the boy before he turns in a full circle to show the audience their surroundings. The area seems to be an underground storage facility with metal crates stacked neatly. Two other boys can be seen from the dim lights emanating from their devices - one short with black hair and a leather jacket and pants, and the other rather plump with a white shirt, leather pants, and a belt hanging full of gadgets. Each of the boys seems to be digging through the crates, pulling out the contents and bagging whatever they find of interest and tossing what isn’t to the ground…

“Tonight is going to be our biggest hit yet. That will show those rich nobles! Power to the people!”

The boy begins to show the audience various items he digs out from his own crate - mainly packages of foods and liquids. Suddenly a shout from one of the boys causes the camera to turn around and focus on the short boy…

“H-hey…what are these? Blasters?!”

The boy pulls out a military-grade blaster, handling it gingerly and examining it all over…

“What is this doing here…?”

The camera rushes up to the crate and peers inside, showing the audience a crate full of blaster rifles packaged together. The next several crates are opened and the revealed contents all show military-related equipment…

“What is going on h…”

Suddenly the camera begins to shake, the boys present in the footage also begin to shiver as a thick white mist begins to descend on the area. The boys all look at each other and run in the same direction. The camera dips up and down from the floor to the ceiling with the audience catching a glimpse of what must be the exit. As the boys near the exit, a metal one-piece door shoots up from underneath the doorway and seals shut, a thud of finality is heard as it grinds to a halt and multiple latches inside seal it shut. And still the muffled music could be heard…

“W-what’s going on? I thought we bypassed the security system…?”

The short boy pounds on the door with his fist, making barely a sound from the thick metal door before turning and shaking his head. The camera turns to behind the two boys but the third is nowhere to be seen…

“Where is Chucky? We have to look for him! Split up!”

The camera begins to dip up and down again, spinning and turning with the sound of heavy breathing in the background. Turning around the corner, no more than thirty paces away, the short boy is laying on the ground with his arms straight at his side, his eyes wide open in horror but his body very much frozen. A dark cloaked figure kneeling over him, claw-shaped hand over his face. The boy begins to grow thinner and thinner as a red haze begins to lift out of his body, coalescing into a ball of sanguine in the palm of the creature. A sharp gasp comes from the boy holding the camera as the figure’s head snaps to face him. The silver and grey half skull mask peers into the camera, devoid of eyes and face. After a heartbeat, the camera dips up and down again moving in the opposite direction…

“Please, please, let me go, let me go!” There is a string of whispers flying from the boy holding the camera as he flees back to the exit.

Finally, the exit comes into view again, the door mysteriously open - inviting… And then the plump boy steps out from behind some crates by the doorway, blocking the exit. He appears pale and dazed, moving almost mechanically. Then he lifts both of his arms in a ‘T’ shape and begins to levitate upwards over top the door. The camera looks up above to see four metal poles hovering in mid-air before their fly loose, lancing towards the levitating boy. With a sickening sound, the poles impale the boy against the wall, one for each limb.

“Chucky!!!”

A chilling laugh could be heard from behind the boy and the camera spins around again. The masked figure dressed in black armor with a cloak and the skull mask lifts up his hand and clenches his fist in the direction of the crucified boy. The camera spins back around as the boy groans - and then without warning implodes, leaving blood and gore splattered on the wall. The camera pauses in shock before it lurches forward. A hum could be heard and a red glow coming from behind the camera before it falls to the ground. The remaining boy can be seen from the footage trying to crawl to the exit on his stomach, his legs now stump. The heavy black boots walk towards him with the authority of his maker and the boy turns to his back to face his attacker. A black-gloved hand descends onto the boy’s throat and slowly chokes the life out of him before the footage goes static.
