Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko was getting updates. Matsu was at the meeting and those assembled were from across the galaxy... their influence and their corporate power impressive compared to many other governments. The Dark Empire didn't have access to some of their things and Atrisi United had bought out many of the Atrisian compaanies... something that was similar enough in spirit but they dind't need to seize the assets and facilities. Much better and cooperative to have them be bought out and given freely... it made things easier and allowed them to control what was being produced and for how much.. since they traded across the galaxy.

"So this move by them how much is it going to be a risk to anything we have been doing?" Phaidor said it as she was standing there andf the others were looking over the reports. "It won't at least not aat first... the Galactic Alliance insulates us and they are going after them for now... The isolation of the Commonwealth and how we internally trade among ourselves makes it a better choice as well." SHe said it while thinking about what they would be able to do.... the Dark Empires plans wouldn't alter theirs.. if anything it would show how much more dangerous they were and likely lead to refugees which they would take in and help out.

 

[Junko Ike]

She would need to see more... research into the mandate of the Dark Empire and if there were loopholes or more conditions... the idea of cutting out a section of the galaxy and they expanded themselves into the core worlds which meant they had a lot of people who could suffer if they got the trade embargo going. They might starve the people if they were taking over the worlds industries... dedicating all of those resources to feeding their war machine over the poeple.. there were dark possibilities going on there as Junko thought about a few of the chances they could have though... sending in relief supplies would make them a target but this is why they hired so many smugglers.

She was checking on a few other developments... fighting on GLee Anslem and some of the other worlds... nothing new but there was a danger there as it was open conflict. Information pouring in about attacks on a few other worlds or movement but it was mostly scouts reporting so that Atrisian shipments could make adjustments as needed to avoid zones of conflict or interest. THey would be better able to adjust and alter their path where it was needed. THe meeting for the Kirkenburg accords was ongoing as always but there was not a lot of information for them... it was questionable it would alter anything Atrisia was doing in the galaxy.

 

[Junko Ike]

She was looking at more things.. some general information was coming through to try and give her information.. new reports from scouts as well as their researchers as the engineers under Miyoung had improved several implants... notably they had developed a better implant for filtering gases and toxins in the body. THe nanogene would be able to function better and better. They had developed some treatments for the body which would use similar nanites to the muscles to train their soldiers now... it was a way to ensure that uniform training could be spread across the commonwealth and with everything that they had. THere was a grin on her face at that.

"There is more going on... if some of the information our informants are getting is true the Galactic Alliance is gearing up for a counter offensive against the Dark Empire... it will be something that the jedi are leading. We might be able to help out with food supplies is we are lucky though getting some of the contracts with them is much much harder in this case and Shoma doesn't do much since the senate rarely seems to meet to discuss or plan things." SHe said it while looking at the twins before she was embracing them and turned to look at Phaidor. "We will return to the airship and there are some things to discuss but it is good that things are progressing here for the pair of you."

 

[Junko Ike]

The twins understood and Junko was able to get some looks. "It will be fine princess... we have been learning more about Atrisia and there is a lot that happens that you have to oversee and that prince Shoma oversees." The two of them were sure of a few other things as well.. they had developed a home here and on Shri-tal they were checking on many other aspects and parts of their own kingdom... that which they would inherit when the time came from their father. THeir mother on the other hand.. Junko had met the woman.. she was a piece of work but she was also intently sure about what they were going to do almost all of the time.

JUnko embraced them... they had plenty to do on their own and exiting the inner fortress from ice to crystal... the light filtered through and painted everything in fractured lighting as the colors came... the airship gleaming when they came to the top of it with her handmaidens getting on and Phaidor had been there getting as many things set up and filtered that werer within the news cycle.Junko entering the airship and she stood there as she breathed in deep;y and prepared herself.. they were sending the ship over. THe dusk skies was beautiful though... coming over the horizon where they would be able to look and she could see some of the further islands.

 

[Junko Ike]

Min had moved up and she was standing there bouncing up and down practically... excited as the island ahead glowed with beams of light... a beautiful display drawing attention to the citadel on the island...a three ring structure that went higher and higher in its place with each ringe having various parts within it.... from living to social to entertainment... and Min was going for the entertainment value of it. She was importing talent from around the galaxy as best she could.. she was finding interested parties and trying for the hardest to improve and get them to sign exclusive deals here on Atrisia... they had other arenas but.... welll Junko supported her as they could offer the most lubrative.

THe twi'lek was excited and wanted to make her home and those she worked with some of the finest artists... well mostly it was not like Thuria's island where poets and sculpters were... this was singers, songwriters, dancers and entertainers. The glitz the glamor... and the interest in a few other things as they could have a powerful impact on people across the galaxy and developing their own stories, their own entertainment... went a long way for the species who had come seeking a new life on and within the Commonwealth... Min could show what was possible with the time and talent dedicated rather then just expecting it all to be handed to them.

 

[Junko Ike]

ANd that was what Junko was seeing.. it was beautiful as the various models were moving around. This was Atrisia afterall... it was hard for many of them to look common as it were and with their artisans who were working on dresses and outfits... others doing hair even the hardest sell was impressive to them. A beautiful delight as the first sounds of singing came up from the rooftops and the circular area around... Junko could see them there but hearing all of them.. harmony was amazing. "It is beautiful Min, you have been working on this and incorporating many of them." The twi'lek gave a nod as one of the leads was there... pale skinned with blonde hair.

SHe was using the latest in implants that they had developed. the dazzler and it created plasma explosions at various levels... in this case it was going with her hand motions to create a firework like effect that could be seen. The dress that she was wearing was a sleek white design that few others could match.. it was beautiful and the ones who were offering support as back up dancers and singers were impressive enough.. they provided much for all of them to see as Junko could admit another thing to herself... Min had some of the best taste even if she was trained as a jedi at first... she still was impressive in the force and learning but she had taken to learning other things.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe airship arrived at it... docking with the upper area while there was still a higher section and the circular portions. The handmaidens depating as Min was giving them the beginnings of a tour with her lekku twitching in interest. "The plans that we were managing to work with were for an amphitheater... a place for preformers and artists to be able to have the maximum effect. We have also been looking into what would be best to develop and improve the beauty of performers... for Atrisian bands who travel around the galaxy we want them to be able to show off their talent with an impressive but minimal amount of gawdy dress.

Min was leading the way around the small port that would be for the airships and it was designed to allow several shuttles to lond for them to invite others. Offworlders and diplomats for shows that would entertain... there were groups of various atrisians practicing dancers with various styles. Their teachers making it so that they would be able to preform and all would be able to compete against each other or other groups in the galaxy but it wasn't for show.. others seemed to have better results with their voices and dynamic as they didn't need to dance but stand there and preform with intruments. Junko could see more as well since they had zeltrons and twi'lek dancers.

 

[Junko Ike]

"You have been getting the most talented ones here." Junko said it as she walked and some of the groups stopped and bowed... others continued to work and dance. All of them practically had energy rolling off of themselves and it was like electricity in the air before they were roaming around the area. Interest in a few things was fun and Junko had developed the auditory enhnacer for vessels. It would make their dancers and singers able to power ships as a back up should the need come in. The talent was there and she went with Min who bowed leading the way with her people who were working on other things. There were seamstresses in an alcove with thousands of materials.

"IMpressive." She said it and she knew Atrisian designers were some of the finest.. they made her kimono's and outfits for when she went to the galavision... a charity event and singing endeavor even if it didn't go anywhere... it had still been one of the best experiences as she got to flex herself and her own talent... not everyone could be Shoma and his figure skating... she needed something more then her keen eye for shopping or finding the best things the people had. She preferred her way of going about it anyway.. wearing a really tight outfit and skating on ice was not her idea of something good.... it was cold and the water got everywhere.

 

[Junko Ike]

The seamstresses were there and Junko could see other things that they were working on... some of the outfits using the silks, some the skylar and some materia so that they would be able to shift and change. A generation of Otachi were being trained as they stood around and were prepared for their training... getting the materia which functioned as a mixture of armor and ornate clothing.. they were bodyguards for one of the lords of Atrisia a generals daughter on her galactic tour so they needed to be able to dance and sing properly to blend in with her retinue... she couldn't have soldiers following her around all of the time so secret protectors.

She could see the otachi being outfitted with some of the latest as they developed ablative and synthesis style weapons and equipment. For their show they were being given runic Atrisian tattoos that were concealed weapons.. the micro fabricators and duplicators in the ink was some of the most impressive few others in the galaxy could match it and it allowed them to literally fire off weapons from their hands or feet... they could dance and have more armaments then some small armies that they would face in the future. Junko knew a few other things as the Otachi worked as a squad so the rifles and launcher tattoos were being inked on their arms and legs.

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe continued to listen and reports as well as updates were still incoming.. the summit of busiensses was proving... interesting mostly the emphasis on how only Locke and Keyes hypergates could counter... there was a lot of simping for it and acting like no one else had hypergate technologies... she might have to hide the silk network of hypergates from them... it would be not very helpful if it was shown others used the technology and had developed it for purposes... also they just didn't like being involved unless they had to be which was why when Locke and Keye was asking they only gaave the Frisal location as a connection point.. the start of being able to enter the Commonwealth.

SHe was amused also when Matsu was being called green with envy.... less amused for the implication... more amused because.... a hypergate was at this time possibly low tech to Sasori who was developing the gates into a common piece of equipment for their own armors and weapons.. that hyperspatial armory used the gates and had its own rifle to use just that.... they had the means to put it on belts and allow the commonperson to relocate themselves..... so a singular use of it being the thing to make the Ike family jealous was.... laughable.... and she doubted Matsu would go to war over it... as much as find it amusing.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe news coming from it was.... also there. It seemed work never stopped and Matsu was using the meeting as inspiration to set up new products... advancing their technologies themselves and if they were able to work it out... If they were able tog et functioning models for sale it would be some of the more impressive pieces available to the people. She knew a few of the specs were more impressive then others might think and the inks alone... the tattoo line that Sasori was developing were some of the most impressive as they could be versitile weapons and or utility pieces... if the warping effects and gate were done correctly.. they might be able to revolutionize transportation.

Junko was looking over and specs and distracting herself but there was a lot of good things and she was beginning to understand how her and Shoma's cousins brain functioned... it was a little more then rapid fire a minute though... likely she divided her attention and had parts of her brain working on problems and solutions while doing everything else... some form of force wizardry that others didn't really understand but Junko knew how to speed up and enhance her comprehension speeds... so she could take in vast amounts of knowledge... expanding on that.. likely taking it to limits few others might be able to match was how she overthought.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was contonuing to look at more of it.. the tattoo ink that they were always developing was... well something that could be used here... it was something the otachi could use as protectors... it was something their entertainers could use to protect themselves and if they were going to be able to get some of these new utility designs... new ink for power armor and shielding... well they could make through use of the taskmaster and other enhancements... a continued improvement of the standard citizen themselves.. Atrisians had already taken to the advancing medical works they had going on. They were much more accepting cause it worked to make better their already exceptional aspects.

Min had much here and Junko was bringing the information up and around... on a display for the artists who were doing the tattoos for the musical groups... many of them getting carefully designed one using the special ink depending on what they wanted to do... it was helpful and they functioned to not have sleeves or massive ones on their body and neck. Some of them were getting ones on their ankles or even their wrists but they were designed to be covered up or artfully displayed... with most looking like Atrisian script or older more runic and tribal marking from when they were clans that fought each other. The artists looking over the specs and nodding approval.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see a lot more that they had been working on.. specifically they were developing the clothing that would be worn by them... One of the groups at least. "Min, what is this groups mission?" She said it as thney had normal artists but the Otachi were getting the military grade equipment that would be set up for them... silks able to resist blasters, sabers and other weapons. She could see they were getting some other things set up such as their utility belts and flatspace technologies.... now that they had warping tech for distances. THe twi'lek coming forward and she was looking at it with some interest. "Oh this is looking like from the style one of the diplomats squads."

She was looking at Junko and provided an interest. "I know we have been having many go out and the diplomats sent to worlds like Denon given there was an Atrisian contingent clan that fled to the world and established a district promoting Atrisian stylings... the diplomats who were sent there to make sure it is not inappropiate reported a strong entertainment area controlled by Sasori which would be able to provide logistical support... so we are able to have better trained otachi sent there to protect the daughter who is beginnign to want to preform in the music scene there... we is quite good from all reports that we have seen and has talent."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was listening and she understood some of their diplomats.. they worked hard... they met with a lot of people and Denon was well... Denon was just as dangerous as Coruscant... they main difference was location outside of the core worlds and deep core... it made Denon more remote from being able to be within their network. The Silk gates would only serve them well for traveling around and the silk roads which connected to their trade worlds as a backpath the Atrisian ships could use... well those were not connected thaat far out.. so moving fleets there wasn't feasible.. they could only have a ship or two and relied on mercenaries, priviteers in their employ and highly trained operatives.

"There is plenty of talent here.. the Otachii are some of the finest operatives and bodyguards but they are also the biggest talents in the galaxy." ANd with the new taskmaster procedure they could augment and refine their natural talents... their physical fitness would become to the peak as well as muscle memory able to recall hundreds of dances and movements. THeir latest series of implants would do more as well.. if they could be moving like a zeltron or twi'lek.. naturally graceful... then they could only continue to improve and add in ocular implants for sight or senses and knowledge implants... they were trained for fighting, dancing and protection.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe other things the otachi were getting aside from tattoo and implants which would serve to protect was the jeweled metal and silk outfits... everything looked standard to the rest of the galaxy but the exotic particle and materia allowed it the highest levels of protection and strength without the weight of other things... they could move in it and it would be a one size fit all as the materia allowed it to become form fitted. Junko knew there was a few other things as they had equipment like the atrisian sword which doubled as a blaster.. it would improve and look like a standard piece of self defense... no one looked too long or hard at a blaster and that benefitted them.

Junko would ned to possibly work on or get Sasori to develop better models of weapons for them.. they had the newer ones which were good but for the otachi there was always a need for weapons and armor that blended itno their professions.. usually bodyguarding as dancers, handmaidens or in some cases there was an entire retinue of maids that roamed around one fo the households and protected the prince even if he didn't like the idea... Junko had made sure that was what would be done. She was looking at some of the other options as confirmation of newer technologies came and. "Well that is impressive." The new biots were scary

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at the specs and the sheer size of them alone was big.. they were monsters... that they were then loaded with more weapons and access to what was being called the hyperspatial armory... well that just made it something else that they wouldn't be able to match if they were trying to compete... if they were facing it in a battle She doubted there would be a lot to defend against an onslaught. Junko could think of the best ways to use them along with many of the other combat biots that they had been developing.. the hypergate nullifier was something that Miyoung would be most interested in if she was here and would talk ab out it with all of them.

"There is a lot here but these new formula's for ink could prove beneficial... the warping ink alone is more valuable if we really want to talk about it... shielding and cloaking or even power armored does little when you can fling yourself across the galaxy." Junko said it as Min was there with Phaidor next to her and they were seeing it as well. "Those, load lifters are no slouch either princess and we could do a lot with them.. using it the right way the tattoos could serve for emergencies and protection on our people but also the ones who are being protected... if it is able to be temporary like some of the others.. then it could benefit all of us."

 

[Junko Ike]

Min seemed impressed. "Everything... everytime your family and I know it is cousins from offworld but they work with and support the Commonwealth.. make things it seems to push the bounds of everything that we might know and if Miyoung was here she would enjoy it a lot more as it likely proves one of her theories correct in what she has been speculating." THat got a laugh from a few of them... as it wasn't wrong... those cargo containers alone were proof of that and if they could use a pocket universe to do it.. that would mean quite literally they were able to potentially have no limits to it.. the container already expanded to the point it could go across a large area or ship.

She was equally impressed with the private file that was dedicated to her and Shoma... the emperor and empress would be able to know about it but it was an Ike family thing... a new temple built and based on the designs... it was built literally in the remains of a giant robot.... a massive feat as she couldn't be certain she was guessing as many others would be if Matsu had beaten or found the thing... if she had found it well that went one way but if she had fought it... it gave way to the question about if there were more of them.. it looked like the thing was coming out fo the planet itself which was a dangerous thing ou could see possibly on other worlds.

 

[Junko Ike]

"My family has a habit of trying to overachieve... I don't think we know the meaning of the word restraint... in the metaphorical sense... I think I have proven I know plenty about restraint." She said it with a smirk and a wink though as Min laughed louder then she likely should have or meant to. "Well that is certainly true and without that mentality to restrain oneselve... we wouldn't have gotten some of the advantages and advancements that have been improving... well everything. Lady Latyuo brought information and we have seen it when we go out... most technologies are drastically falling behind in the race to improve compared to Atrisia and many other worlds."

Junko nodded her agreement and well if they did it right... if there was another daark age where dangerous things happened.. the amount of self sustaining and repairing.. the multiple ways to connect, inform and coordinate for Atrisia was designed to be a back up to it all. THey should be able to maintain the Commonwealth and in the longer run sustain all of the hyperlanes that they have developed to connect to the extra galactic colonies. It would be used to help build up Atrisia's mystic even more if done correctly.. add in the hyperspace breakwater that they were working to develop with stormseeds, debris stations, random gravity swells and well they were looking to make it an isolated region.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe interface chimed as more information was coming to them from the meeting... Sasori was making for a small showing... it was more that the meeting allowed the development of several pieces of tech compared to anything definitive coming out of it.... THe more works that they had at least and the official embargo upon the Dark Empire could go a long way... development of hypergates for trade was.... interesting and adding the ability for Atrisia to be able to access it securely would be beneficial for them trade wise... they would need safeties of course as it wouldn't be ideal to allow other gates aside from the silk gates to be able to access each other.

Junko was thinking of what they might be able to do in terms of an embargo and thankfully she was certain none of their trade partners operated out of or with the Dark Empire so it made it easier.. they might have sent supplies though which was tricky as aid packages were sent where conflict and chaos sprung up to help the people... that would be much harder without the krampus technologies that they could use to transport to other locations across the galaxy. Min seemed interested in it as well since it did affect everything... this could mean for them who welcomed the people an influx of refugees escaping the Dark Empire to try and have a new life.

 

[Junko Ike]

The galactic message came out soon after that... Junko was reading it and a lot of different companies had joined in... some of the bigger names which controlled a lot of the galaxy. The others likely would follow as they traded with and dealt with them but some would also be ambitious and try to take the place possibly of the companies with the dark empire. She could see it but she didn't see a future where the largest corporations were going to launch massive battles against each other or flex power and assemble fleets to fight governments... they could do a lot more though. She was smirking to herself as she thought about it in addition for some cases.

Junko was looking at a few other things as she debated it... Atrisia woudln't have traded with them anyways... THeir united company within the Commonwealth operated much the same way they did with the government bbuyiing out industries to regulate and control it... but they had several companies operating within that pushed to make better products and to manage the prices as if they could make things cheaper then they would and if the demand became high they would be able to put the resources behind getting the people what they needed instead of being price gouged by the likes of the hutts or syndicates to import and ship.
