'Okay, those are some great rewards. Alderaan adds another 2 Billion citizens. And Bail Organa is a fantastic politician and would be the perfect representative for the planet in the Senate. The Technology of the Kwa and Rakatans is perfect, as I can see if we can't add anything new to our technology. The Infinity Gates are the most interesting to me since I recall them being able to transport anything instantaneously without fail. The things we could learn from that alone make it worth it. But the Rakatans' ability to master the Dark Side so completely and even make entirely new species will be helpful for us in our genetics research.'
I had to pause in thought when I saw the Yoda summon.
'If I am reading it right, then he should be as young as he can while still being able to move freely. But beyond that, he will be a nice addition to the Je'daii Order. Luckily, we did some preliminary training with all the new recruits, so we don't have to redo all of the training completely. The Journal Of The Whills is very useful if I use it right. Since it contains everything, it would take nearly forever to read it all. So, at least I have something to read when I am bored.'
I open the book to check something.
'Okay, this is by far the best reward we got from this trial.'
The page I flipped to explained how Force Sensitives were made and how one could gift the Force to others or take it away. With the book's knowledge, I never had to fear about having either not enough or too much Je'daii. I was able to maintain exactly how much we needed or wanted.
'I will need to spend some time sitting down and reading this as much as I can. Centerpoint Station is useful. I can technically do what it can do, but it may take me some time to learn how to do it safely. In the meantime, we can use this to customize our galaxy. I think taking the Singularities from across the Universe and placing them all in the same spot could be great for resource collection. It could also be used to make one Universe-spanning galaxy rather than the several hundred galaxies this Universe has now. It can also be used as a weapon if we are really desperate, but I don't think it would be worth it. Now, as for the Temp Summon. I can't really say if it is great or not. It is at least okay. They are decently strong, and they follow my orders. And they can't be killed. So I guess it is good enough.'
There was only one thing remaining to look at, and I waited because I wanted to see what happened when I combined all the items. I took out all four pieces of the Starforge Schematics, and they immediately started to float. Then they smashed together in a bright flash of light. Once the light faded, a gold disc was left. I picked it up, and I got a flood of knowledge, and further, a system notification was heard. I was able to tell that the schematics I got were different from the knowledge of the Rakatan Technology.
'Oh, that's why. The Precursors Technology Schematics were all of the things that the Rakatans learned. But the Starforge Schematics were an improved version that doesn't corrupt the user, but has the downside that it can't produce an infinite amount of warships using only the Force.'
The differences were interesting, but it also made me realize why the Rakatans had lost their ability to use the Force.
'Equivalent Exchange. They weren't making ships using only the Force. They were making them by using the energy of their entire race. They were draining their race's power and potential to fuel their war. But the improved version doesn't have that massive downside. Making the ships is free, but you can only produce so many every week. But it can still make ships without the Force near instantly if we use a star and have the materials.'
Before I got too distracted, I decided to settle everyone and make sure that everything was with me and we didn't get any stragglers or forget anyone.
'Hmm, I feel like I am forgetting something. Eh, whatever it was, it was probably not important.'
POV Darth Jar Jar Binks
Jar Jar: "Wit Darth Sidious out of da way. Tis now meesa turnen to rulen da galaxy."
I fall over as I trip on something. I look down and see a thermal detonator with a note saying Oops, he forgot about you.
Jar Jar: "Poodoo."
That day, many reported a massive explosion on Coruscant.
POV Rio
'Yeah, it was probably nothing.'
I cancelled the Wood Clones and processed the memories. From what I learned, there were a few notable events. Thanos had conquered a star nation and was reorganizing the population into an army. Cetana had been forced out of the Milky Way, but it is unlikely it will last long. The Krut Ascendancy had collapsed, and the population of the planet had been wiped out. The remnants have sworn revenge on Cetana and joined the Federation. Several new villains have appeared. Rhino, Venom, The Vulture, The Scorpion, Electro, Hobgoblin, Shocker, and the Joker.
'It also seems like most of them are being funded by Hydra to cause as much chaos as they can to distract the Titans. If the memories are right, then Jiraiya suspects they have formed a group. Which is likely. It seems like there is a serial killer on the loose who has killed over 78 people in the 2 weeks he has been active.'
I found it suspicious that he killings started after Venom escaped prison. It felt like I had heard something before, but I just couldn't remember the story it came from. The other standout point is a villain calling themselves the Joker. I found it odd, as I don't know of any Marvel villain with that name. I decided to use the Palantir and see who they were. What I saw baffled me beyond belief.
'What in Oblivion is The Joker doing in Marvel? And why had I not heard of this earlier? Should I just kill him now? No, I think Robin might want to settle this.'
I knew the Bat Family had a long history with the Joker, so I decided to keep out of it for now, but I at least let Robin know that the Joker was in New Jersey. Atlantic City, to be precise. I checked the time and date. It had been exactly 32 days since I started the trial. So it was March 2nd.
'I should schedule a meeting with Jiraiya. So he can brief me completely. There is a reasonable amount I need to catch up on, but for now, let's go see how my cutest little bug is doing.'

Authors Note:
The trial is over, and Rio gets some great rewards. I had to think fairly hard about what the rewards should be. Also, the Perfect Rating doesn't mean Rio did everything right; it just means he did enough to get the max score. The Villains are mostly Spider-Man ones, as those are the ones I remember the most and the ones I think would be the most likely to exist at this point in time. Until next time, Ciao.
