Connections [Veryiana]

[Priscilla Utorna]

​

Greivax Corporate Headquarters​

Geonosis​

​

The desolate wasteland of Geonosis, something Hana had not yet encountered. It was a strange place, with strange beings, but she was about to uncover an even stranger individual. Veryiana Greivax, entrepreneur, philanthropist and self proclaimed Gene-Modification Master. Certainly a special talent, but not one that she was here for, at least not yet. No, she had heard of a bounty placed on Mrs. Greivax's head.

Was she here to collect it? Certainly not. If she was, she wouldn't have taken such a small escort with her of only 4 individuals, and the Director wouldn't be present either. Neither her nor Ryla wanted to get their hands dirty, and hopefully Veryiana wouldn't take this as a symbol of aggression. What she was here for was to offer protection, or at the very least, inform Veryiana of the hostile presence surronding her name.

"You know of this woman?"

"I know that she is in grave danger of being killed. I understand the nature of our mission, but there is no basis to assume that she is guilty."

"Very well. Don't go dying on me Hana, you're a valuable asset." Walking back into the storage freighter which took a swift exit, the only mission of it was to deliver its cargo.

They had been dropped off at the largest starport, not too far away from the business's main place of operations. Letting out a sigh, she took a step into the door with her 2 escorts, one male and one female, and approached the company's desk, assuming that it had one.

"I'm here to speak with Mrs. Greivax, intergalactic business."

The giant metallic door that was built into the side of one of the many massive spires remains closed for a few short seconds until they slowly crack open just enough for her to enter, what looks to be a Zabrak stares out at her with what looks like a dead gaze, before the man.. if it is a man, raises his hand, and gestures for her to follow as he begins to head into the depths of the Greivex Construction Hive's HQ. And I assume she follows.


After going down what must be a hundred stairs they come to a long hallway, five more humanoids of varying races, all equipped with a blaster rifle stand guard in front of a smaller door similar to the one she encountered at the entrance, they too have a seemingly lifeless gaze, staring off into the distance as if day dreaming as they breath quietly, steadily. The door is open, luckily, and inside is a large metal room resembling a high-end office that she's used to, instead of Geonosian design. A large wooden table, carved with delicate flower and vine designs, with a large console set up on it, the screen glowing quietly as it shows unimportant statistics of Veryiana's industry. And behind the desk and console, sitting on a chair which rivals a poor king's throne, is Veryiana, the wires that usually plug into her back are instead connected to the table and console before her, but the other end remains connected to the back of her head. And she looks up at them, although her eyes are hidden, and she gestures to a smaller wooden chair on the other side of the table. "Please.. sit down. I understand you have.. business with me?"


Inside the room is rather dull, no decorative items, nothing to show as an attempt of power, the only thing that could even be considered decoration would be the strange symbol of the Greivex Construction Hive emblazoned upon the door which is closed, and behind Veryiana.

"Certainly, well, I must first start off by saying how much of an honor it is to meet such a prestigious person as yourself. I've heard of very good reviews coming from your establishment's products, but I am not here to over ending praises of flattering." Extending her arm behind her back and taking a holopad from one of the escorts clad in all white. "I'm sure you're already aware, but somebody has asked my organisation to enforce a fugitive recovery order upon you. Of course, if I wanted to do that, I would be much more aggressive. I'm actually offering quite the opposite, protection in exchange for one of your magnificent products." Placing the holopad on the table and showing her the bounty order before retracting her hand and speaking again.

"I am a woman of my word. I've been serving in a security force group for just over 5 years now, I know how these things work. Geonosis is probably one of the safer places to be located, but some extra security would never hurt."

"And.. who put this bounty on me?" She asks quietly, seeming uninterested in the proposition of more guards.. But in reality, she knew she needed it, just playing hard to get. You never gave in to the first offer, she learned this early on.

She looks over the woman and her crew in front of her quietly, but her guards outside wait patiently encase she really is here to cause trouble.

"Oh you don't know? Contractor "Count Adron Malvern", didn't even bother to encrypt his name. Says you murdered a family member of his, although I'm sure that's not true. Speaking from a point of neutrality, you seem like a lovely person who would never do such a thing."

One of her entourage placed a hand to her ear, clearly listening to some sort of device. She patted Hana on her shoulder, whispering something before swiftly making an exit with the other member. Now, she stood all alone in this room.

"Security issue, they should be back momentarily."

[member="Veryiana Greivex"]

 

[Myra]

"What kind of security issue?" She asks, shifting uncomfortably as her eyes watch the woman leave from behind her cowl before she gives her full attention to Hana. She'd have to deal with Count Malvern.. it was true she hadn't killed a family member of his.. but still.. the audacity of putting a bounty on her after their last meeting.

"Just... some things you know. Standard old intergalactic-federal-police force investigations, I'm sure you'll understand..." Smiling and looking behind her, ensuring the door was closed.

"Now anyway, I hear that you do fantastic cybernetic implants and gene therapy. Would there be a possibility of this being done en masse?"

[member="Veryiana Greivex"]

 

[Myra]

Ah.. Business, something she could get behind, anything to make a profit


"Of course." She states, bringing her elbows to rest on the arm rests of her chair, as her fingers intertwine in front of her, showing off the life-like capacity of her robotic limb before continuing. "What did you have in mind exactly?"

[member="Hana Takeo"]

 

[Priscilla Utorna]

"Long story short, I am looking for a way to enhance reaction times significantly, improved eyesight, not really strength. Would this be within your capabilities, and if so, on what scale?"

[member="Veryiana Greivex"]

 

[Myra]

"If you're okay with me splicing other species' genes into your soldiers than the possibilities are endless. Of course, this may mean slight physical changes as differently shaped pupils, other minor changes. But if you prefer for me to simply enhance the genes that are already present? I could probably double the abilities of anyone you bring me.." She says as if it's no big deal.. and for her it isn't, so she crosses her arms in front of her and takes a deep breath "But it won't be cheap.. and I can't guarantee there won't be complications.. I can guess a.. 93% success rate."

[member="Hana Takeo"]

 

[Priscilla Utorna]

"Whatever it takes, whatever is easiest. Complications are to be expected. I won't put that past you, I'm no idealist, but I'm entrusting their safety in you. Regardless, what would the pricing be? For an experiment... shall we say, 10 individuals, I'll run some independent tests and report back to see if your services will be required again?"

[member="Veryiana Greivex"]

 

[Myra]

"Ten? Easy enough, I'd say 1000 credits. Incredibly cheap for basic augmentations such as eye-sight and reflexes." Veryiana gives a brief nod as she says this, her hands running over the keyboard and screen in front of her as if to assure herself of the price before giving a satisfied nod and taking a deep breath, business like.. an attitude she was still adjusting to. "When can I expect these individuals for their trial?"

[member="Hana Takeo"]

 

[Priscilla Utorna]

"Well, I can have them here within the hour if that suits you. I'll have the tests set up at a different galactic object, just don't make them go blind if you can." Smiling and then proceeding to make her way to the door.

"If that's all, I'll have the credits transfered and be on my way."
