"A Companion is a pillar of discretion," Saffron said quietly, but the soft nuance of her smile told more.

"But your path in life is not mine to disclose," she added, sliding down her hand with his to give his hand a gentle caress. The young woman swung her smokey topaz gaze over towards the various holo-screens. Lips pressed slightly and curved upward.

"I am reviewing the journal entries for Corellia," Saffron explained, slipping from his grasp to be able to fully elaborate.

"There is still much to be done with the reconstruction," she'd add, a single hand coming up to bring up the main codex entry for the broken world, bathing them in the pale green glow of the screen.

Carefully, she took hold of the solid-state hologram and swung it around, allowing the solid-state hologram of the cracked world to bloom between them.

"Terraforming can only do so much. It will be decades... maybe a century, before Corellia may see the rolling hills and valleys it used to have." there was a measure of melancholy in that.

"We've been cataloging all we can..." a slow blink, and her delicate profile would turn to the former Lord of the Fringe.

"But then again, with Iron Crown constructing its own Citadel, I am sure you are aware of the difficulties that may lie ahead."

This is Ta Vei, Geologist for PharmaTech under the purview of The Eden Project.

We have made an extordinary discovery! At first, we were skeptical of the results of our findings, but after having successfully managed to clean excess grain from the holofilm feed, we have finally our first image of Corellia's Black Gold Beaches.

Corellia’s Black Gold beaches featured enormous amounts of electromagnetic interference in its upper levels. The debris and dust is still too thick to really be able to discern what may be causing the anomalies, but we will continue to gather as much data as we can.

Ovmar studied the image in front of him silently for a moment.

"Mhmm." He murmured finally. "Dromund Kaas was easier. Saiba - part of the Iron Crown family - restored the world as per a contract with the Primeval movement a few years back."

"It was experiencing an Ice Age after the Mandalorians threw an asteroid at it during the war with the Sith."

He manipulated the solid-state hologram, increasing the focus on the planet itself and the orbital network being constructed there. They were still applying the lessons learned from Dromund Kaas - what to do, what not to do and which mistakes to avoid. There had been plenty of mistakes, before the Ithorians and Rel had joined the effort.

"But that doesn't compare to another planet being merged into Corellia. We are doing well, all things considered, I'd say."

[member="Jared Ovmar"]

​

"We are," she agreed in her serene fashion, bringing her hands to rest lightly over her belly. A cant of her head and she studied the solid state hologram of Corellia.

"So much has changed," she murmured, taking a step forward. Outstretching her hand, she brought up the asteroid field that now surrounded Corellia. Socorro's Belt.

"We are constantly in the process of determining the effects of the melding of the two planets. " she told him, letting the hologram give a small ninety-degree turn.

"Terraforming technology can only go so far." she admitted.

"But the discoveries we've uncovered..." her voice trailed off, and that delicate profiled turned to the former Lord of the Fringe.

"Extraordinary."

 

[Jairus Starvald]

Ovmar looked back at [member="Saffron"], from thoughtful businesslike back to roguish grin. It was a mode to him, a state of mind, he was either insufferable or completely absorbed by the work - rarely if ever could he do both at the same time.

Currently... work was drawing the short straw.

"I have come across some extraordinary things today," the reply came after a moment and the look sold exactly what he meant by that.

Say one thing of Ovmar, but he wasn't ever subtle when it came to these things.

Those eyes lingered for a brief while longer, before something else tugged at his attention . It was one of the holograms currently tucked away, while their focus was elsewhere. He made a motion with his hand and the spherical point of data flew into his hands.

Another gesture followed which expanded the data into a model, pushing the previous one out of the center.

"We have... flying mountains?"

This is Ta Vei, Geologist for PharmaTech under the purview of The Eden Project. I am at a loss for words, but I can only express our more recent discovery by providing a holofeed. This is the most recent recording of the atmosphere above the Black Gold beaches.

As you can see, the strength of the gravitational disturbances and anomalies have resulted in vast volcanic pillars to float in the air. So far, we have uncovered several dozen, with more than ten larger than a kilometer. We are still gathering data, but it appears it spreads across the entire span where the previous Gold Beaches once were.

 

[Saffron]

[member="Jared Ovmar"]


Saffron gave a small cant of her head, turning towards the holo screen that would detail a few of the earlier journal entries by an employee of PharmaTech; Ta Vei, a geologist that had been working with the terraforming project since the beginning.

"You could say that, " Saffron replied, bringing a hand up to slide a new screen into view. An image of a floating mass amidst the clouds bloomed to life in a solid state holographic representation.

"They spread over an area once known as the Gold Beaches." Saffron elaborated, "But the image in question is over the Black Gold beaches."

There was a glimmer of fascination over Saffron's face.

"We first believed it to be due to Lashtu merging with Corellia." she added.

 

[Jairus Starvald]

[member="Saffron"]

His eyes were glued onto the screen... well, the solid-state holograph.

Information was being updated in real-time next to the image, scientific readouts and other compatible data. A blink followed as he realized that the information was accurate, which meant that the gravity was off the charts.

"And now?" Jared asked, but at the same time he was starting to get a picture of what had happened.

Some of these readouts were similar to the ones on Makeb.

And that was very dangerous, very, very dangerous. Because it suggested something that could change the entire dynamic of the Corellian sector and its place within the Galaxy.

 

[Saffron]

[member="Jared Ovmar"]

And now?

Slowly, Saffron's smile grew a little wider. It wasn't something one could do justice to it by explaining.

"And now... how would you like to see it for yourself?" she offered in that calm manner of hers, her head slightly tilted to the right, as if in a small challenge to the former Lord of the Fringe.

There really was no better way. The Sahsahlah Floating Mountains were a kind of wonder one had to see in the flesh.

This is Ta Vei, Geologist for PharmaTech under the purview of The Eden Project. We are stunned by the images we are receiving from our ground team at the Black Gold Beaches. I have enclosed another image for the codex. It is a much clearer picture, and the mass of the pillars become even more evident with it.

It has been confirmed that this anomaly only occurs throughout the terrain where the Gold beaches once lay -- at least, where the remnants still stand. The densest population resides over the Black Gold Beaches.

We are sending a team to physically inspect and gather samples from the largest pillar. With luck, we may determine to the reason behind this phenomenon.

 

[Jairus Starvald]

[member="Saffron"]

Ovmar eyed Saffron.

There was a glint in his eye, it spelled of mischief and amusement.

"Very well, why don't you show me."

Still, in his head the former Lord of the Fringe was going through the possibilities. If this was exactly like Makeb, then there was an opportunity here. One tinsy tiny bit of Isotope-5 could power a datapad for centuries, it was so potent that at the brink of the ancient Sith Empire's defeat against the, then, Galactic Republic... the securing of Makeb - the only world known for the resource - was quietly secured for the Empire.

It was only because of Isotope-5 that the Empire managed to come out on top of the Republic.

If the Corellian system suddenly had this resource?

It changed everything- especially because only ATC, ICE and IS were remotely active in the sector.

 

[Saffron]

With a broadening smile, Saffron gave a nod and then her hand came up to sweep across the solid state hologram that shut it off. A small gesture would beckon the former Lord of the Fringe to follow her.

“So what have you been up to, my lord?” Saffron would ask, a hint of curiosity in her voice. She had a unique, graceful gait when she walked. It was as if she were merely floating on air, the length of her long flowing skirt whispering over her legs, swishing to and fro with every step.

Stepping out towards the courtyard, the Companion would turn to study the former Lord of the Fringe. Under the light of Corell, one would be able to see the lines of his face. How time had aged him. Compassion rose and reflected upon her delicate features. He had a hard life.

It was the empathic in her that saw it, the Force merely enhancing those subtle cues and senses for her to pick up upon. It was why it made her a wonderful Companion.

While they talked, Saffron would lead the way out towards a landing pad. There, they would take a special shuttle crafted for traveling to the Sahsahlah mountains. The gravitational annomolies made it difficult to fly in it, and while they had time to adapt, they still had many goods to send to and fro to the PharmaTech Biodome constructed there.

The entire story would surely be one that would interest Jared so. Afterall, it wasn’t everyday that one discovered that Isotope5 had everything to do with the anomaly here at the Core.

This is Ta Vei, Geologist for PharmaTech under the purview of The Eden Project.

We have our first samples from the largest pillar, Aurek Nine, and are in the midst of processing the results. The samples are being taken to Carida, where the larger research facility will be able to properly analyze the samples.

We have some theories...Doctor Tenoie proposed something radical. He has experience working with Browncoat Arms and Mara TibX surveyors at the Makeb facilities.

He has a theory; that the anomalies are similar to that of those on Makab.

If that is the case... well... the results could very well add more change and limelight to Corellia.

 

[Jairus Starvald]

[member="Saffron"]

Again that amusement showed when Ovmar noticed her studying him.

He knew what she thought. How couldn't he? It was spelled out all across her face and Jared didn't even need his mastery over Mentalism to read the expression. Sympathy, compassion- any other men might have become enraged about it, might have taken it as an attack on their masculinity.

I don't need your pity! They'd shout.

But Jared had always been a different kind of man.

The man who could walk into a busy bar filled with scummy thugs and order an appletini without any irony. Just a man who was confident in himself and his desires.

"I have been exploring the universe, my dear." Ovmar confided in her after a moment of thought. Note, he said universe not galaxy, which implied certain things. "Ahh, the stories I could tell you, the things I have seen."

"They more than... offset the hardships endured, worry not, I have no regrets."

Which was not a full truth, but it came close enough to it that the empath would second-guess the reading received from his emotions.

 

[Saffron]

A companion never probed. Never pushed. Never would do anything other than providing an ear to listen, to genuinely provide a venue of safety and security. Tranquility.

Which is why while Saffron felt the flux and flow of Jared's emotions, she did not question what he said. If he so wanted to elaborate, then it would be at his own time. At his own pace.

"Then I am in luck that our shuttle ride will be lengthy." she said in a flowing quip, her delicate, pleasant smile shining up at the man.

"I would be interested to hear of the journey," she continued, coming to the stairs that would lead down to the landing pad. Up ahead was a sleek, smooth vessel. Chrome like in appearance. The familiar lines of a Theed Hangers vessel; although certainly not a model Jared would be familiar with.

This is Ta Vei, geologist for PharmaTech under the purview of the Eden Project.

I must say, what I am about to reveal could very well send a shift in the sector should the One Sith find out. However, as this pertains to the reconstruction project of terraforming Corellia and providing factual surveys, I will state the following.

The phenomenon at the Black Gold beaches have been confirmed to have the similar gravitational anomalies as that on Makeb. Samples of ore and minerals have positively been identified as the rare Isotope-5.

Isotope-5 is a mineral traditionally only found on Makeb, and much as it is on that planet, Isotope-5 is the reason behind the particular unique atmospheric and gravitational conditions. This is a radioactive form of illerium, and it is named for the fifth known isotopic variation of an element normally found in neutron stars. Isotope-5 has powerful warping effects on gravitational and electromagnetic fields even in minuscule quantities -- which explains why the gravity-warping properties of isotope-5 are at the root cause of the Black Gold beaches atmospheric interference and the unusual floating mountain formations that hover above them.

"I see Arceneau Trade continues to take good care of her employees," Ovmar replied dryly at the sight of the ship resting easily within the depths of the bay.

There was a hunger tugging at him when he saw it, though. The green greedy hunger of new toys being displayed freely and richly, but Jared rebuked himself. He wasn't a young buck anymore in the prime of his life, with the galaxy at his feet and the only acted necessarily was reaching out and taking what he wanted.

No, those times were over for him.

"Ah, but what do I get in return for sharing some of these deep secrets and interesting stories?" Devilish glint shining in those blue, blue eyes as he smirked at her.

 

[Saffron]

[member="Jared Ovmar"]

Saffron gave a small smile. It wasn't a smug smile, or even one that said she agreed with his sentiment. It was just a tiny smile, as if she were amused by his words.

One of the attendants would open the hatch and began to lower the ramp for their entry. "Arceaneau Trade is just providing humanitarian aid, Lord Ovmar." She said simply -- and meant it. Believed it. There was no hidden agenda by Danger. In fact she had made explicit guidelines on behalf of Corellia and her people. There was no corporate mining on Socorro's Belt or at Sahsahlah. No matter what they found, the conglomerate was not here to benefit or make money out of the disaster that befell Corellia.

It was here to restore it.

"Well," Saffron would begin, glancing at Jared." What would be of worth?"

This is Ta Vei, geologist for PharmaTech under the purview of the Eden Project.

We have confirmed that there are multitude Isotope5 deposits in and around the floating pillars. There are even larger deposits scattered in the volcanic spires on Black Gold beach and within the largest of these pillars.

We can only conclude that Corellia’s mantel and core were rich in these deposits, and that only the travesty in the wake of the meld by akala brought them to the surface.

We are continuously taking more samples and gathering data to cross reference any other anomalies.

 

[Jairus Starvald]

"Forgive me," He responded with an inclination of the head. "It's in my nature to be skeptical and to expect the worst, but miz Arceneau hasn't ever shown me anything other than kindness."

She better after he had shredded his back in napalm for her.

They settled down inside the shuttle and for a moment Jared just let himself relax. Just leaned back against the comfortable seat, letting himself enjoy the moment.

"Mhmm." The mumble came as a response to her query. "I am sure you can figure something out, my love."

His eyes closed for a moment.
