Making some Armor

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra rode over the scorched sands of the desert planet, her head and body cloaked in the white robes and clock that she near always wore, her sith like mask obscuring her face as she sped over the desert on the landspeeder. She was suppose to meet this man, a solaris fella, and help him with a personal project that required someone of her expertise so here she was with Eve, the AI in a human body that went near everywhere she could with the woman. This was going to be a long day for them, and certainly one that caused a bit of a headache at times.

10 EE Battle Droids entered the area and one of them approached her, trying to check for weapons. While the droid was doing that two of them nodded and towards her came Jeff Solaris. Jeff was a droid, a human replica droid. Finally he said. "So you must be the new individual I heard about. You are very good at droids right? Well I do have some ideas for a few droids, but I personally am growing tired of making all parts of them myself. So I have decided to recruit someone new to my company. That person is you. You'll be constructing a powered armor suit to amplify my abilities. " This was because he had decided he might indeed hire her, but needed to see a show of her skill. After all he didn't know what she was capable of. "Perhaps with some programming or something that makes the wearer if a droid very skilled with a lightsaber."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

She smiled and the only weapons on her would be her sabers and the warstaff, neither of which she would give up as she spoke herself and made that very very clear. "How about another offer, i own my own company, specialized in cybernetics. I do this in a hour and a half and you and i draft out a contract that will ensure business between each other as well as working together on projects, think of it as a merger without either of us losing control over our respective companies or brandnames/patents. All i need is a workshop and you will have your droids, and perhaps you will find things very interesting when i finish." She crossed her hands, even now she and the AI she had with her were studying the droids before the timelimit even began, it helped to always observe them and to study before you received a meeting with the man in the firstplace. "Deal?"

[member="Jeff Solaris"]

 

[Warren Century]

"Deal. Your workshop is here of course. You may use the work-shops here. After all Fort Suvian is something that may hire you soon on a more permanent basis as an ally. If you succeed at the droids within the time limit allowed. However to be clear I expect them to be far more capable of dishing out beatings as they are the primary security force here, and even they aren't strong enough to take on Tuskens yet."

This was one of the worries held by Jeff, because the Tusken Raiders were strong physically. Someone ought to go exterminate them. Future idea. Build a device meant as a sort of Tusken Raider eliminator droid. Yeah, that might come in handy. Plus it would certainly save him a repair bill. Jeff paused for a moment and then said to her. "You will also upgrade their weapons systems. Concussion Grenades are good, but too mainstream and too overused."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Done, ill call you over in about an hour, go drink a pint while you wait or something, i dont care." She looked at Eve and inclined her head before without warning she moved to the workshop and frowned. It was going to take her a dozen minutes to find everything and that was time she didn't have. "Eve pull up the blueprints on these droids from your scan and tell me when you found a better way to reroute the droid's electrical wiring and nerve system to include a faraday box for their main hardwiring, we need to give these things a level of protection against EMPs. Then look at the joints and tell me how easily they are to be hit and disabled, i noticed the knees were especially easy to get at."

Meanwhile she began to tear through everything and used the force to pull heavier items out of the way, her hands pulling a droid torso onto the bench and going to work immediately as she cut it open with a small cutter and began to rearrange the wiring as Eve fed her the data without pause to worry if Alex was getting it.

As she worked Jeff walked to a hidden room within Fort Suvian. This room contained only one device. Namely the bulky thing he used to recharge his power cells when he needed to. Sighing he put the attachments needed on and watched as she worked. She really was something with science, and a good inventor at that. It was a shame another company had her. For Suvian could benefit from her exclusive services. It would certainly save him a lot of work that he would rather not be doing full time anyway. An hour later, Jeff returned to the room.

"So how is it going?"

Jeff wanted to know about his droids. Depending on how much she had done, he'd consider the contract with her. If she had succeeded he'd definitely arrange a contract with her. For her skills were impressive. It was very hard to impress him, and yet when something did he was ready.

Alexandra looked up from the droid with more grease on her than people would normally ever seen, compared to the AI that used a younger clone of her Alexandra looked like she had wadded through a lake of grease as she smiled at the man before straightening up. "Slightly behind schedule, had to use makeshift number of parts to compensate for the lake of specific parts, but they will work known the less, each blaster built into their arms run on separate powercells, allowing for the continual fire in the case of losing one arm, with that in mind there has also been improved joints, allowing for quicker travel and better handling on difficult terrain as well as providing safety against enemies. Lastly i have been improving the armor plating on the vital torso and neck area, allowing for more protection as well as upgrading the droid's computer systems which took the longest bit of time. Luckily i keep a number of advanced VI's on me incase i need them so this prototype is using one of them. I am merely finishing the work on the power systems and then sealing this baby up."

"Excellent work. You have definitely earned the contract. Once you finish the droid we can discuss more business. Such as the new body you'll soon be commissioned to build by me for me. I've got a hunch that this one won't remain suitable for my use for long." Jeff was impressed because she had done an excellent job. Several dozen VI would likely be incorporated into his newer body. This was because he'd need to relegate some of the lesser operations of the body to the VI so that he could focus more and more on his own capabilities. It would help him because he'd need to be prepared to handle Jedi and Sith. His new body would also need hidden pockets. Other modifications would likely include the incorporation of rather specialized weapons systems to allow himself to protect himself. This body would be perfect for him.

"So shall we make the contract?"

Alexandra merely smiled as she clapped her hands and looked at Eve. "Eve, seal it up and then come and find us please, i have Business to discuss with mister Solaris here... something that is likely to take a bit of time knowing my need for all the angles to be lain out." She turned her head back to him and without even thinking to wipe the grease from her skin or clothes she smiled and walked up beside the HRD and spoke. "We Shall, my full name is Alexandra Lianne Cinthra, incase you need know it for any future reference, CEO and Founder of Cinthran Cybernetics and Famous Rogue Force User for hire."

 

[Warren Century]

"It is nice to meet you Alexandria. You say you're a Force User? Excellent. That alone will help with some of my future ideas and work. After all some items do require the Force to complete them. " Jeff knew droids could not use the Force by any means whatsoever. It was something he had considered and thought over for a long period of time. Creating his brother would be more difficult. His second brother would use a new HRD body while his first might use a cloned body if he could find a Force User skilled enough. After all, Suvian did need a public face to it. And a Droid was hardly good enough for such a thing anyway. Thus, Jeff was at a crossroads.

Later he'd see about finding a suitable Force User to clone for his own purposes. "As part of the contract, Suvian will allow Cinthran cybernetics exclusive rights to program the VI of every droid and piece of technology from this point forward. You've proven your skill at that, and well since some of the droids could use VI to operate them, I believe such an arrangement would be useful in the contract."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Sounds about good, though i have a feeling the droid wasn't the only reason i was called here, you may be a droid... and yes i can tell that much from the feeling you give off, but as i was saying, you still have a distant look when you think like everyone else does, so how about we get down to business and truly see what you wanted to test my skills on. As for the contract i think that is very much so acceptable in the case of having my VI's integrated into your droids."

[Warren Century]

"You will soon be producing for me a new body. A body that is made so that it is not as human, but has the combat capabilities this body sorely lacks. If possible we'll have installed some sort of lightsaber training into the body so that it can handle one far better than this older HRD body I am presently in can. Let's see here. There's also the matter of some sort of device to keep the Tusken Raiders nearby far far away from here. Hmm. Other than that, there aren't many inventions that actually need to be made presently."

There were many ideas that Suvian needed to make and put into practice. But some of them for lack of credits could not yet be made. Jeff paused for a moment, and asked her. "So as to my new body. We still need to figure out what materials it will be made out of, and what weapons systems and everything to put inside said body. I've also got a virtual treasure trove of information on light-saber crystals. If you want, I could show you some of that information. So do you have any suggestions as to what to put in my new body? For we need it to be a powerful one, that much is certain. Especially given the times. The galaxy is going to pot. "

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Jeff Solaris"]

Alexandra already began to think over the idea, using the Krath War Droids and Magnadroids as a model for the very thing that this man was suggesting. "Hmm.... very interesting to think on... what exactly do you have planned out on the drawing board as i will need to see your shell before i can start making modifications to the design, unless you do not have such a thing done as of yet."

 

[Warren Century]

"Alright."

Jeff led her to a room that was heavily reinforced where she could see a droid shell. The droid shell looked less human than before, but still had human like eyes. The body was not yet finished, but when it was it looked like it would be quite durable indeed. "Alexandria, this body is something I've been working on up until now. However, as I have other projects to do once we sign a contract, you'll finish it. After all, the body could come quite in handy for me later down the line. For that very reason, once it's finished I will be seeking out 3 people to teach me lightsaber combat. I will also need you to build a memory eraser made to erase memories of them training me. I'll only be using it on two people though. I want the body to be able to eat and drink however, and convert that into more power because that is a problem that an HRD body has. It cannot eat or drink. "

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Jeff Solaris"]

"The memory eraser is easy as is finishing the design... but this energy converter... that is quite a tall order, im not sure how well i will be able to do this..." She rubbed her chin as she called Eve over with her hand and instantly the two of them began to think over ideas to convert the biological processes of digestion into a droid, which in its own would be a feat beyond all other, it was so much easier to create life through a clone, but this required a much different area of expertise.

 

[Warren Century]

"The only reason I wanted it able to eat and drink was to serve as a secondary power cell. A Rylith Energy Cell will not be enough for my eventual completed body. This is why we will need to look into alternative energy sources so as to provide a suitable power source for my new form. Do you have any suggestions as to what that could be? In addition to that, I want you to include a few AI like your Sari inside the unit. Those AI will monitor everything, and help speed up my movements/fighting styles. I'll need all the help I can get."

This was said by Jeff because he knew his clever technology was no match for anyone with the Force. "There is also a lot of recent products by Suvian you will be downsizing, and increasing the power of to include in the new body. They may only be clever tech made to mimic the Force, but they'll come in handy. The body will need some sort of Anti Force Lightning shield. Perhaps if we could mimic the energy field of a Ylasmari."

"Hmm, this is a very intricate body... what exactly are you planning to do with it?" She frowned as she looked up at Jeff, curious eyes scanning into him and already going through plans in her mind to figure out what it is that she could do create such an effect. She had never attempted to mimic the force or even more so creating a anti force zone of that type, she knew it was possible though and soon her mind would be delving into everything she knew to get such a design to work.

 

[Warren Century]

"Presently I am planning on ridding myself of some unwanted neighbors. " This was said by Jeff as an alarm Klaxon went off throughout the entire Facility. A group of Tusken Raiders had been detected too close to the place again. "And after that chasing down a few Sith or Jedi to make them create a few products I happen to need. The new body should also have the capability to remotely control all Suvian Droids, and hack into other droids as well. It will be a very complex body I realize, but well worth it. For I'll never have to worry about being unable to hold my own again. " Jeff paused for a moment and sighed. "If only the Battery Droid idea was completed, and one had been made, the Tuskens might have stayed away."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"I have a way to keep them out if they are such a problem, they would hate to come back if i show them something." She smiled and tapped the saber on her waist as the sounds blasted out and she was even looking forward to showing what she could do and what droids could no, and oh how that would be fun.

[member="Jeff Solaris"]

 

[Warren Century]

"Excellent. If you can convince them to stay away you'll earn a 20% discount on all Suvian products, for life. "

Jeff was not in the mood to deal with Tuskens. Merely reading holo-net accounts of what had happened when they had kidnapped Shmi Skywalker was enough to make him nervous about having them as neighbors. They were bad neighbors, and needed to vacate. But they would not. Which meant he needed to put up some defenses to keep them away.

"I am tired of having to deal with them on a regular basis." Jeff pushed a button and the alarm Klaxons stopped that were going off. "By the way, the new body will be made to run off of an Energy Crystal. I've recently made a deal with a few people who have access to those, giving them access to some Suvian products in return for unfettered access to their energy crystals."
