Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

THe empress seemed to like that. "Can you improve the power sources you already have now? THey can be in almost any size and last so long with high output. Even the planetary models for powering the entire planet... it has drastically cut down on our consumption just being in place." THey had bought three so they could power each hemisphere and have a universal one.. it gave them quite an accomplished capability and then more for each of their moons... standard for their bases and facilities to have back up. It averaged out and they could have power and systems going for tens of thousands of years without having to use their own resources to generate power.

"There are some ideas, since we have been developing and over engineering molecular disruptors as technology allowing for us to shrink more components we might be able to make them smaller more compacted yet at the same time have the output of the planetary engines. It isn't without a chance and if we can convert it so it is able to also wirelessly power anything then the lines wouldn't be able to be disrupted." Wireless power sourcing was in some ways a dream but the idea of it in cities or entire planets being able to power on devices was beneficial as it would allow their systems to not be dampened easily.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Would such feats be possible?" THe empress was looking at her and Junko turned towards Miyoung their well.. one of the smartest women on Atrisia with several advanced degrees. Miyoung nodding while she finished her bite of food and removed her hood bowing. "Quite, the science for dark energy is not entirely new but ithe implementation of it that Atrisia and Sasoir at large has been doing is. We have been able to open entire new areas of research where power generation was the primaary concern... THen with sleg and kyber which act to enhance small amounts of energy into exponentially larger amounts we can broaden our areas."

She said it and was using the hash she had received to explain it with some sauces to show the iso-didact. "Currently our power source is a triple resonance chamber functioning like a heart. Dark energy is generated here and it passes through the kyber which puts out an intense amount of raw power. The Sleg then absorbs it and releases it several hundred times over. So a little spark can power a ship or a city for a while and it will repeat on itself as the energy released by the sleg feeds through the kyber as backwash you could think of it creating a super conducting loop of energy being produced and built up. We have been developing disruption capacitors to handle the energy so there are heavy reserves."

 

[Junko Ike]

The advances for the technology did seem to be getting interestto the emperor as he looked at Miyoung with more interest. "Are you saying we migh be able to power the planet from the palm of ones hand young lady?" HE stared at her more wanting her to speak then to try and intimmidate her. Like the emperor of Atrisia he knew how to be stern and how to be warm with his gaze as Miyoung spoke with a nod. "Oh yes we have been looking into the possibility to scaling down while increasing the overall power output... if we continue with the current projections for the technology it could become even smaller possibly while maintaining even more energy."

The possibility of their being able to make palm sized batteries of dark energy to power entire planets... maybe a little pipedream but scaling down some of the planetary sized reactors was a goal and if it could be done... well they they would have a chance to do it. As it could be used to build whole new ships and stations with things in mind as they used a large section for power generation and regulation. "We have also been looking at ways to incorporate the technologies for molecular disruption and pocket dimensional engineering into ship hulls allow them to be less bulky and weapon or sensors to be protected by the hull armor."

 

[Junko Ike]

There were some looks and Miyoung gave a nod as she continued. "THe power source itself is really designed for it as we were already micronizing the components.. and could effectively use it to power small toys and equipment.. even our nanites were designed with such power generation allowing them to be leaps and bounds more effective then others that needed to be replenished. We have even worked to incorporate it into the clothing and armors that Atrisian and Friscalian citizens wear... the small micropoles giving the shielding and protection as well as the strength enhancement and speed enhancement all use the power cells in the materia itself."

THere were nods. "So we already had the ability and are doing it.. this is just the next step towards it and the improvements of course can be altered and brought to the older technologies... we designed the materia to adapt to updates and upgrades... so it can constantly be ahead of the curve in many cases. More so if we work on some of the other aspects of Atrisian Technologies we are advanced in our weapons universal ammo components... any weapons we have can use the same ammo so you don't have to carry extra power packs and even then the recharge and materials make it super lightweight. Our null technologies reducing it even more."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at her and Miyoung was getting excited.. she studied this and she well she worked on much of it explaining to the other handmaidens so that if need be they could double and hold a conversation. JUnko understood some of it but for meetings where it was needed she discuss things.. Miyoung in a flesh kit so she looked like Junko was ideal with the princess in the room as her handmaiden. "THe null technology reducing much more in terms of gravity now.. we have been working to overdevelop its needs so it can last longer and be in wider areas. If we hold to our theories we can eventually set it up like a tangle field... turn it on and be able to move effortlessly large amounts of equipment or objects and then turn it off so that it will all remain there."

The emperor was looking at her while they were still eating and nodding his understanding. "We have been developing advances to the modular pieces we developed and have redeveloped for cities. While style is important being able to customize what is there... being able to improve upon some of the designs is vastly important but the base of it will all be fabricated the same. So you can plug and use it in any city and it will be connected with no gaps that need to be monitored. From roads to buildings to warehouses and homes... if it all is connected and lines up we have the basic model that can then be built upon to make enclosed cities protected from attacks like outside poisons and toxins or trying to blockade and cut it off."

 

[Junko Ike]

It was the empress and Junko's turn to nod.. they had both seen such things and the chance that their citizens would be able to naturally protect themselves from that without panic was important. "We have also developed new implants using the biot technologies... it essentially seeps into the skin and rewrites what needs to be without intruding or being visible. ONes for health drastically cut down on average sickness and make it so only the strongest strains which we usually have antidotes and vaccines for get through... Others gives advanced levels of muscle and bone health so everyone can be physical fit."

Junko had seen that and it wasn't required of everyone but it was seen as practical. You could be healthy.. you were able to better protect yourself mental and physically plus they were expanding and working on education. If done from an early enough age their children in the Commonwealth were being seen as some of the most educated and likely would be like Miyoung yes... but they would also be fit physically and mentally regardless of what they planned to do.. it was also designed to extend their lives... to fall more in line with their Oni Ancestors who were documented based on the records and medical information for a thousand plus.

 

[Junko Ike]

Miyoung looked at the emperor and empress who were listening... what she was talking about benefitted them after all and it would as the closest allies to Atrisia come to them once it was tested and refined enough that they could make it faster and cheaper in terms of production but didn't have to skimp on quality. "There is also with the advances in medical, quality of life and our engineering... the possibility of eventually making megastructures across the galaxy. If we could improve the dyson sphere stations which are able to enclose systems we could operate hypergates to stimulate trade and improve communication between them."

That was another thing she knew they were looking into.. expanding the dyson stations capabilities... if they could enclose the Commonwealth it would both isolate it enough to void things but also allow them to better control and protect the main trade routes... offering respite along the way and giving traders more assurances to wanting to spend their credits as they could enter and find more opportunities to trade with the hundreds of worlds of the Commonwealth itself. A trading empire within the core worlds among itself. "We are working on more understandings of stellar engineering but if we can do it the benefits of secured borders are appealing."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko couldn't deny Miyoung was correct about that... secured borders were important and more then that... they needed them in some cases. She kind of preferred them for the Commonwealth as many things had come and attacked them.. more tried to exploit them... and even more treated them like backwards beings who only cared about tea parties and festivals. Miyoung nodded as she kept going. "There is also the development of the choushin vessels that have been becoming more prevalent in some cases when the ships we can grow are getting larger and stronger. The vessels are impressive in many cases able to adapt and incorporate new technologies."

Their grown tree ships were well... they were awesome and able to grow new ships as well as make them in shipyards was important.. it allowed two paths to growing Atrisian forces back up. "THe ships have also just been one of the things.. the anshins themselves have been developed and overengineered to house millions in some cases even billions with the newest methods and technologies. Manufacturing and shipyard built onto them with their various rings but we are able to use them." SHe smiled though as they were bringing each one to the Commonwealth worlds with hundreds of them together they would have a massive expansion and area for population booms.

 

[Junko Ike]

"It all sounds very impressive and it is clear you have much passion lady Miyoung." THe Emperor offered a bow of his head to her. "But we have all finished out food and there is duties of us all to see too for the day." HE said it more as a joke as they were going through much of it here... better yet Junko could see he had humored her and gotten more eating it an drinking tea so not to be rude... Frisal big on it and she bowed her head as Miyoung ducked hers down. "Apologies for keeping you Emperor, EMpress... I didn't realize I had been talking so much." Junko looked at her and bowed as the emperor rose and walked over crouching so he could speak and place a hand on her shoulder.

"You have done well though young lady and your princess is lucky to have one so smart with her." THat seemed to make her beam highly as he turned. "Each of you, her handmaidens are family.. you will all share details and get to know each other in ways few others can. So it is good you are all bonded in this way." THe smile was on his face as he rose back up and the servants were clearing the table as he and the empress left. Junko looked at Mahiri who would show them all around... in style. "SHall we go?" She asked and the window had several of the carpets all ready for them a she and Junko went to one and all of the handmaidens were going with her handmaidens.

 

[Junko Ike]

The Massive caravan of handmaidens being led by the princess went around the city... beautiful in its golds and bronze... white and silvers that let it both blend in and be seen in the desert. She could see groups coming into the city itself and they were large with creatures laden in sacks of wares. "Market day... every week the merchants gather and present thousands of shops lining the streets from food to anything might be needed." Mahiri was giving them the run down and she would see more pointing it out.. dancers in the streets in long lines before the governors... sultans in ways who ran their camps but most while polite enough.

There were even more things able to be seen.. the markets were only a part of it and offworlders who came here for trade had the massive enclosed space. Tens of thousands milling through it with the smells of spices and food in the air for the early morning. Junko was looking over more of it with Mahiri next to her... they would be able to better see as they came lower and there were guards stationed mostly for show. Frisalian laws of being polite were important... they had crime but were also harsh in the punishments for most cases. Junko stopped and motioned to the ports where more stalls were showing different species moving around.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Oh all of this is looking amazing, the grand market is something that I remember. So much more inside and all of the people milling about." She said it with a wider grin on her face as they continued to fly over it. Ports showing various ships including some of the new bulk transports that were being made by Sasori and they brought a large number of supplies. Freighter captains going to the new building made for everyone there. Crown and Spears. The building stood out from the others around it but the banners on it were Friscial in design identifying it. With more thaat they were working to establish an area along the market row that more of their traders were seeing.

"I remember that trip... one of the first times I really came to enjoy being around with you." SHe said it offering a wider grin and sat on the carpet with her arms crossed. Legs in a kneeling position but she could point out a few more places. They were setting up along the main way but then it was going to the gates that were large and open. Outside there were massive tents going up for various merchants and groups that came offering larger things. Creatures from the world, speeders, ships and everything that they would be able to show off. SHe could see some of the desert skiffs and they were beautifully designed for going across the sands.

 

[Junko Ike]

They could see other vessels and it was clear that shipbuilders were found here... or workers... THe younger men and women wanting to show off their talents and ones in lavish outfits looking at their work. Mihiri pointed out there were holograms set up for the different shipbuilding guilds in the city and surrounding ones but these was where they got their engineers and workers. The people with skill rose to the top and some yes were at the bottom better at moving the metals and operating the equipment. THey might not have the vision of the shipbuilder but they had a role to fulfill. There was even more as crew was there some of the finest at organizing.

"It is a cycle, the people who work on the shipyards come and can all be seen... many are given the chance to work as more workers makes it go faster and wages are on contract. Since we have your new food and living modules it means they can get higher pay with less being required to feed and house them. Now more can be taken on and the ships built faster with shifts and engineers or repair workers for the biots and equipment." Mahiri was proud of it... Frisals shipbuilders were next to none in quality and now they could slowly increase quantity.... which benefitted all of them in the long run for keeping trade flowing.

 

[Junko Ike]

THey were coming down now towards one of the larger hangers, the shuttle for their ship was parked there but they were not leaving just yet... there was more to explore and Junko stepped off the carpet as a royal procession got attention and interest but their handmaidens and guards were keeping others back. Junko bowed and Mahiri greeting the people as the two of them walked. "Is there anything on the plan for today?" SHe asked the women and Mahiri looked at Junko offering a smile. "No there is nothing really... Market day generally means time to relax because everything is going well. No problems." THe smile was there and they could walk through the streets.

Junko had been seeing a lot from above but here at ground level there was even more... the smells of the food alone... worth it a she could see spiced fruits that were on skewers... meats cooking, veggies, meats being skewered and then shaved in front of everyone thinly so they could be wrapped around breads and coated in egg to get more breading then fried... It was a wonderful sight and she wanted to try it all while they walked as the sounds of haggling over the prices came. Good swere being exchanged like silks and stones... there was even weapon stalls showing the latest tech upgrades for weapons or new models of gund.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see other things as well, the dancers weren't just dancing... many of them were showing their acrobatics and skills like a display. Selling their talents for movement and getting around areas. There were ones playing music both traditional and new in some ways which made for an interesting sight to behold. SHe could see others as well since they were displaying the various outfits that were being sold. Stall models were never a bad thing as they could be eye catching when implemented correctly. She had never seen anything bad with it but some did... that was why you could mix and match with males and females and some aliens if you really needed it.

Mahiri was talking with the people and her bodyguards were around her... interest in what they were doing peaked though as not many had seen Junko before aside from holorecordings so traveling with their princess was a boon. SOme crowded around and she bought from one of the vendors food as he was making it and handed it out to the children to eat with them. OThers were bringing fuits and drinks... inclulding something she hadn't seen before as it was a massive cup of fruits, juices and seasonings that interacted eith the fruit juices to make the flavors different and contrast with each other. Junko nodded approval while popping a piece in her mouth.

 

[Junko Ike]

The strange spices on the fruit was just as good as anything else they might have... delicious in many more cases when Junko looked at the vendor and nodded her approval. Mahiri paying the man who had cut it and Junko was walking. THey came to another stall and Mahiri introduced them to frozen planets... a stick they carried and a ball of sweet cream was dangling off of it. Letting them eat it and lick it while the handmaidens took a moment to each get one and sit off in one fo the small alcoves that was a park area they would be able to eat while more people were going around the market. Junko tried the cream and nodded.

"THis is good, tasty... annoying to try and eat and I am intrigued by it not melting in the heat." SHe had a grin on her face while Mahiri was showing them how to eat it. "THey are... but they are super chilled and the outer coating solidifies more with the heat." Mahiri showed Junko how to eat the planet and it was really good.. all about the control and dexterity of your tongue to keep it in place and hand. he was pleased with it and sitting in the small park the green grass looked strange next to the desert... but this was beautiful and trees were within it. Fruits growing that fell and were collected by droids to be taken to vendors.

 

[Junko Ike]

The small park continued to be something that they could sit in and enjoy.. beautiful in many more ways as Junko and the handmaidens got some of the fruit when they finished and distributed them with some of the people. Mahiri was sitting there while some of the children were brought to the park to play together while their parents were shopping. She was playing with a few of them and sharing the fruits as they talked to her. It reminded Junko of Atrisia and she had done this which led her to facing the Drengir.. not entirely a fun experience but it was good it had needed to be done. SHe would have to return to Atrisia after this.

THey had some things on the world that would be needed to explore and there were more developments to check on... She wasn't going to miss out on the chance to oversee the finishing construction of her palace on her island... it was important and would have some of the most impressive technologies they could muster. She would also need to check out and improve upon it... a massive garden of statues of some of the most beautiful women in the galaxy. Hallways lined with art and some of the best in terms of defensive stone work around the metal. THey were developing many new technologies for defensive means as well.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Junko..." Mahiri spoke and she looked up raising an eyebrow. "SOrry I was just thinking about something." She said it and had finished her frozen treat... one of the pieces of fruit there with her while the handmaidens of both sides were relaxing. "It is alright, the children told me there are some interesting merchants who have set up displaying wonders from the unknown regions." THat got a look and a nod.. the core worlds got such things to be sure but usually unknown regions did give a name to go with it to build interest... so most can go 'never heard of it' to spark curious minds. SHe nodded. "THen we should go and check it out."

THat got a nod of approval and they were all rising up to go through the streets. Greeting the people now that they were refreshed and weaving around towards the gates. The smell of more food was strong but there was also exotic oils... wares from the desert that one might need. Even animals this far out from the center that were being displayed and going for high prices. Junko could make out one of the stalls that was being used and stood there while she checked over it. Nothing felt off and when they arrived the man and woman looked up from their seats with fans to stay cool in the hot sun offered smiles. "Welcome princesses."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko bowed to them and her hand came out to the one bottle. She could smell it there with a grin on her face. "Oh this smells amazing." IT was both sweet to the senses and would likely work good hiding or handling sweat. "Oh yes that one is popular, extracts from fruits and it is edible." That got her attention when she was thinking about it and raised an eyebrow looking at them. "Edible perfume." THe idea was interesting.. certainly non toxic so if you licked a lover wearing it sure. "Oh yes, we specialize in edible flavors... for various carnal acts and it doubles as perfumes able to be used in your daily activities if it is needed. Extra strength for the sun."

She heard the purpose and raised an eyebrow but then thought of it and smiled to herself.. ah so it was for that. Now things were making some sense and she debated it motioning to Phaidor to get some credits out as they bought several. "Well something like this should be supported." That got smiles though and they would be able to use it before she and Mahiri continued to walk... a dozen bottles had more then enough applications for all of them. There was more stalls on the row that they could check out and see. There were silk dresses, designed in an open and form that breathes in the sun... armored clothng for more rugged protection.

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe could see quite a lot more that was being here.. clothing was important but there was beddings. Silks that were made to keep out and take sweat from the heat or sand and not make it uncomfortable for you. She could see other things... lavish pillows, cooling fans that operated without blades and were able to use the heat to make extra water that would cool down the area. Junko could see Mahiri looking at some of the things and they were all shopping for whatever they could find or need. Her handmaidens took to a few of the edibles and toys that were being shown from glasswares to more flexible ones as they laughed to each other.

SHe had a small case of things for herself she would be able to use later... she got some dresses and some clothing which was beautiful and then there was the most important parts to what they had... she wanted to be able to check out more of the items when Min had some more food for them. Kabobs that were packed with different meats and wrapped with more meat... before being seasoned with bits of meat... "Min this looks like it is going to be enough calories for a lifetime." Phaidor said it looking at the kabob which was large and she held it tip to tip in her two hands as Min grinned. "Meat is important... it is healthy."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko snickered at that... Min had her priorities they all knew and where some might claim respecting life and not eating meat or animals was they way... she and most of them would never hear of such a thing. barca joined her with two Kabobs and it wasn't glowing recommendations... that large mandalorians was well she ate whole things as well. Most of them were like that... their work burned calories and just veggies did not fill the stomach... also important to note was it cooked a lot better before she was checking out some of the other parts they had here. Junko taking the kabob in her hands and eating it with the meat juices popping in her mouth.

"Okay this is yummy." Min looked at her and nodded ehr head. "I know right, just the right balance of meat and meat with nothing dry and overcooked." Junko held a hand up for her to stop... cause Min could go on all day and Miyoung was standing there in a moment. "It really is quite a feat of caloric intake... we'll easily need to work it off but no one should feel hunger after this for awhile depending on what we are doing." That they were in the desert heat likely would also help.. their bodies working harder and sweating more often. It all became a benefit after all to them and she saw Kirano returning with drinks for all of them. Fruit drinks with straws so that they coudl all look the part of tourists.
