Thelnic had been traveling about the Outer Rim for a bit. He hoped to visit the Sith Holy planets, first had made stops at Tund and in the other neutral systems of that part of the galaxy. Most of his travels over his life had been focused on scientific knowledge. His family was renowned for their work in the field of genetics and cybernetics, This trip was supposed to be focused on the lesser side of Thelnic’s identity, his ability to use the Force. Because of that focus, Thelnic was surprised when he received an inquiry to his availability to participate in some scientific research project.

In his quest to learn more about the Force nearly had him turn the opportunity down. Thelnic then saw that House Marr was attached to the request. The rest was very vague, increasing the intrigue of the young would-be Sith in making a connection to the powerful Sith household. Jaminere seemed like an odd choice of planets to make contact. But with the Sith in this portion of the galaxy making a grab for Allied Tion assets, it was not totally illogical. Thelnic made his way to the planet. He paced nonchalantly around the spaceport hoping that the contact would recognize him and initiate contact.

The contact was a droid that went by W-5, White or White-5. By the names Thelnic guessed at the color of the droid. He also assumed that the droid would be some sort of protocol or Human Replica model. But there were quite a few of those in a busy spaceport. Thelnic didn’t notice a single other Arkanian within the building. He hadn’t seen one of his kind in at least a week’s time for that matter. Add to the fact that he was a young male and the droid likely had some sort of description or holo of him, and Thelnic was confident that by not moving too far from his current location his potential research partner would find him.

Objective: Carefully study
Mariah Location: On board the Fyrnock with all her droids/drones. Using her headset to command White directly.
WHITE-5 Location: Spaceport, Jaminere
Thelnic Vath
The droid was, naturally, armed. Who would ever let such a piece go un-protected. He was one of Mariah's favorite successes in technology, even if calling him a 'he' was a stretch of the term, even for a droid. And he quite lived up to his name in image featuring a primarily plastoid casing, but that simple, if rare, exterior was not where all the specialization lie. Mariah was able to, for practical purposes, 'be' White when she wanted to. Just as she was now. Using a headset to use him remotely like an artificial reality system. It made working with technology in hazardous environments far less of a hassle. A droid was easily decontaminated, and he could use precise fingerworks far easier than overly gloved hands. It also, of course, meant potentially dangerous situations were something she didn't have to leave up to an AI, but also didn't have to be present for.

But that was not enough. White-5, and his soon successer, White-6 "Arana", were not enough. Mariah needed to live, and her own body was never safe. She couldn't leave that be. There were beings though that could connect to multiple bodies all at once. The force of course was one method, but she wasn't that strong in the force, not just yet. She needed to be more creative, technology aided her. But it was only a pre-emptive measure, she had to know the threat was coming. It wasn't going to protect her if someone managed to get to her real body. If her body died, even were she in tune with Arana, she would be dead. Completely. And that would be it.

No, she needed help, Mariah knew tech, she knew a good bit about the force, and she learned fast enough in other areas. But she needed someone more familiar than her. That was why she sought out help. Just as she'd sought out help in creating Arana. In this case, that help was Thelnic Vath .

White would move with ease through the spaceport, quickly, eyeing the area nearby carefully as he did so until he spotted who Mariah believed was the man. She considered waving a greeting then thought better of it, instead, just beginning to make her way to hopefully the man she was meant to meet. She imagined if it was him, the name of who her proxy was would soon be obvious. She was quite eager to get into the science of what she was hoping to do.
