Cartographer Seeder Ship

There was much work to be done and most of it had already been going on. The seeder ships were large and somewhat obtrusive in their look but they served a purpose while she looked out at the large ship being built in the drydock. The length of it was huge and the systems on it were made for droids more thn they were for organics but it would be able to hold people if they went on it. At least she supposed while looking over the things and letting Quiet lead the way through the ship for the tour. They could work on it and show the sections of what they had.

"Thank you for coming, I am proud to have you guys here for something that Sasori has been unveiling. We were looking to get pilots and ship makers in on this should they wish to invest and have their own small one to have come out and map the galaxies." And she meant galaxies these were set to go all over, the companions and beyond to bring information to the jedi and all of the people. She could work with them and get things built up as one of the first parts of Project Saratai was the first wave of ships designed to g out and lay out the course for all of them.

The Firedrake reverted to realspace at the appointed location. Rarely did the ship leave the isolation of Hapan Space. The ship was not at full battle station status, but they were on stand by in case of conflict. The large and powerful Type N909 Supernova Frigate would be escorted by two Type B606 Gamma-class Corvettes, each carrying a complement of Hapan Royal Navy Marines and Cyborg Warriors in addition to what the Firedrake carried. Ducha Relina Zhan held no bars when she made a rare foreign entrance.

"Shipyard station, this is the Firedrake, carrying Ducha Zhan of Gallinore. Requesting permission for shuttle docking." The communications officer aboard the frigate hailed the Shipyards. They were never provided a name for the station.

Relina was dressed in her Military Dress Blues, her hair up in a bun, and her beret neatly crowning her head. At her side was her Vibrorapier, ornate and unique, and her repeater pistol, flanked by two cyborgs and one handmaiden. She headed for the shuttle that would take them to the Shipyards for this meeting. "Here goes nothing, hmm?" she asked.

Are these people are here to see Aoi.. or are they here for this. The crackling of the hologram as it becomes active and those beams of blue energy make all of this body.... Well human looking. Seemed to make them more happy when we AI look like them or something they can understand. Gives us an edge in conversations as well as a personal connection. In this case one going to the ships as they were made to be mine to direct and control. "Assuming direct control." Always wanted to say that and always wanted to get a look from the humans now as they were feeding all this glorious information that they had brought.

"I guess so so what exactly are we doing here?" Quinn asks while following Relina as her handmaiden

Relina answered as she boarded with her Cyborgs. "it is a business meeting. I am wanting to see for myself what the Sasori Corporation is developing, with their invitation, before I make a decision to invest in the project through Paragon Enterprises." she said evenly to the younger lady. She found the young Jedi a suitable job as a handmaiden for the time that she would spend with her. With her high expectations of the girl, she gave her the well-paying job of attending to her, needing a replacement for a previous servant after a situation. She also started taking care of her with her other basic needs, even expensive and fine clothing fit for her. Relina, for some strange reason, found setting her up entertaining. The hiring day was about as fun for her as the last mall raid she and her twin sister went on a month prior.

Sitting down in a seat on the shuttle, she'd prepare for lift off, half-tempted to commandeer the pilot's seat herself. "Come, dear one, have a seat."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Quinn does as told. Relina was the closest thing to family that Quinn had since she got frozen. When Quinn was hired they had ran around the mall and Relina had her mind set that Quinn would get new close. She didn't have an issue with it. Quinn enjoyed serving Relina and even if she wasn't getting paid she would stick around

Relina decidedly felt safer with a Jedi around. Paradoxically, she used to dislike Force users in general, partially influenced by her people''s historical anti-Jedi sentiments. However, having befriended Josh and even going so far as to become romantically involved with him, her attitude had changed. Quinn was a good girl so far, but she at the very least distrusted new faces, treating them cautiously... especially if they possessed powers she didn't understand.

"So, Miss Quinn, tell me a bit more about you. I don't think we ever touched on your history." she said, waiting patiently for the shuttle to get going. She never did ask Quinn about her personal life, having learned only enough to trust her with a job in House Zhan's staff on a probationary basis for the moment. Somehow, she just had this little feeling inside that she was doing the right thing... a feeling very similar to that sky-high sensation she felt when in the heat of a space battle.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"It's a long and complicated history but to start from the beginning I was a fighter pilot in the clone wars. I know what you're thinking that was 800 years ago. But you see I was frozen in Carbonite for those 800 years. This the result of a bounty hunter whom captured me after my master Mace Windu's demise at the hands of Darth sidious."

Relina listened. She didn't recognised the names of such historical figures. She knew what carbon freezing was, however, and knew it was rough. "I see. I'm sorry to hear about that." she said. The shuttle would then begin to move, backing out of the frigate's docking bay.

"I'm afraid I don't know much about the Clone Wars. I know it was a major conflict eight centuries ago and some of our defense contractors, Paragon included, took in some refugees from that conflict who managed to make it into Hapan space safely. Of course, they offered us their technology in exchange. We are a people who have been largely isolated from most of the Galaxy, so what is common knowledge to some is curiosity for us." she explained. "However, you found yourself here. How do you like your job so far?" she asked.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"I love my job it is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me." Quinn says with a tear rolling down her cheek

Relina smiled. "Good. Do it well. When we return to Gallinore, I'll have you meet the rest of the staff and my sister." she said. Frankly, there just wasn't alot of time between when Quinn had been detained, Relina assuming responsibility for her, and giving her a job. The girl hadn't yet been to the Duchal residence and the spot the girl was filling still had a bit of a negative feeling about it to some of House Zhan. The small shopping spree for her was done on Hapes Prime, in the capital city itself.

"I'm not a terribly high maintenance person. This is a live-in position and I trust you'll find the Palace of St. Clavelle more comfortable than the Firedrake's berths. I'm used to it, personally, but you don't seem to have much of a military history, no?" she asked.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"There was that brief stint as a fighter pilot"

Relina lofted a brow at the mention of fighter pilot experience. "You dont' say?" she asked. "I've been a fighter pilot for years. Perhaps one day, I might take you for a joyride in a Terminus." she said with a grin. Her idea of a joyride, however, was different from what Quinn might be thinking. She wasn't sure if the girl could handle it yet. Time would tell.

The shuttle would approach the docking bay and begin its landing cycle, the bay itself growing larger through the view-port ahead. "Just stay close to me and mind your manners." she said, adjusting her beret.

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes your majesty." Quinn says adjusting her top which had came up

"I'm a Ducha, not a queen." Relina corrected Quinn. "My Lady' works just fine.... be sure to use my title or rank if you use my family name, either one at the present moment will suffice. Please don't use my given name unless you identify me to another. Try to keep to at least three paces behind me, as well." she added. On the job training began now, it seemed.

"As of this moment, dear one, you represent my House and I. So, be mindful." she advised.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes my lady." Quinn says and stays calm as she can. Thinking of what she had been told

The request came in and there was a look on the jedi masters face as she gave a nod of her head. All of the work they were doing in this ship going towards making it quite the sight before she spoke into the comlink seeing Quiet and the others with a small look on her face. "Welcome, we have the docking tubes ready for you and you will be able to come and join me on the observation deck. We have a lot to show of the ship." Matsu was extending the tube and ready for them to come and join the small gathered group observing the ship being worked on while in the dock. She brought up the holo display for the AI towork with and show off all the special features of the ship to them.

"Firedrake, we have softdock." The shuttle's pilot announced as the ship landed. The Frigate itself opted not to dock directly, taking a defensive position instead with scanner arrays sweeping the area for security. Relina would stand and head out with her entourage. "Come, Miss Quinn." she said gently.

She'd follow to the room were Matsu was, observing the technology before her. "Miss Matsu Ike, I presume?" she asked of the woman. Her Cyborg guard took their posts at the doors in silence, only their armour plates clacking with certain motions. They stood tall, as if they were actual droids, high tech rifles held up across their chests with military discipline.

Relina herself stood in a military rest stance.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

As they walked through the halls Quinn stayed three steps behind the Ducha and she looked around taking in the sight of the Cyborg guards. She looked at their high-tech rifles and had a flash back.

It was a cold rainy day on the planet of Coruscant. Quinn was sitting in a meeting with her master Mace Windu. He turned to her and said

"Look padawan if you ever see this." He showed her a picture of a rifle similar to the one's the guards were carrying now. "If you see this know that whomever these people are or are protecting are very important." He says before standing and motioning for her to follow him. As she stood her emotions had control over her. With all the proposed news of the sith lord she thought of her parents whom she had gotten word had been killed by this sith lord. She was a hot mess in that moment but as she smelt the scent of her master she knew she could not let her emotions take control of her. She followed her master through the metal doors and out into the cold metal rain. It had no effect on Quinn. She got into the Taxi that then took them to the senate building. As her master and her met up with Master Kit Fisto in the lobby He said

"Quinn you will be up there with us but not in the room. If anything happens to us run you hear?" It was all Quinn could do to nod her head. She would then follow them into the elevator feeling a stronger connection to the force than ever before. As they reached the floor of the supreme chancellor Quinn turns and stands in the hall a little ways down from the door. As she heard the first of the bodies drop she came in just in time to see master Fisto hit the floor. She was frozen in terror. It was then that Master Windu stepped in and began to fight the sith lord. As Anakin Skywalker came in and finally her master met his demise Quinn broke down but remembered what Master Fisto had told her and she ran. She made it to the bottom she ran out into the cold rain. Try as she may she was not able to outrun the bounty hunters sent after her. The one how finally brought her down had the same rifle.

As Quinn came out of her backflash she looks up at Matsu and Relina

[Quiet]

The familiar crackling of electronics, the welcomed sound of all the different devices while they were on. This factory seeder ship was a dream and the drones going around and watching everything so it flashes across these eyes. Clever clever, more humans were coming and to impress them lets increase the production to show what this thing can do while not fuly powered up. Filling the crew and drone compliment is important after all and don't want to be caught with those pants down again or whatever it is the humans say. Truthfully just looking at some of the designs in the converter makes a smile appear across these lips at all the things humans find amusing and interesting.
