Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Min seemed interested and Junko indulged it showing it for all of them as they were heading through and into the palace itself.. the exterior was beautiful but the interior was just as flashy filled with the latest in hardlight technologies... making massive monitors to see all of the preformers.. seeing the galaxy itself from so many holonet channels that gave entertainment news to politics and everything that could be in between even sports. Junko could see more of it as they screens shifted and expanded but Min had attending biots that functioned to make sure they were staying up to date with the latest treends and ifnormation.. feeding it thorugh predictive filters so that they could stay ahead or influence.

"Now this is impressive." She could see some of the places that they were working and some of the information that was being filtered... it was in a way.... scary as she could see it but she could also see that they were improving much more. Spread some credits across investing interests and influencers.. people who would push fashion and sponsoring racers who would make the rich and elite buy Atrisian products... the export alone made it worth it and paid for a lot as the fluxuating credits of the galaxy could rise and fall but Atrisia worked with the banking clan to maintain a strong working relationship. Other parts were being set up for them to look at and over.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at that as another conference was taking place... the Bliss was being shown with announcements... Sasori was there and giving information for them in some cases. THey would share it even if Atrisia didn't venture easily enough. She knew there were some endeavors on their part and small expansions of the silk network would be key... if they could connect the silk network to a series of hypergates in the companion galaxies and far galaxies it would allow them the chance to have extragalactic colonies without some of the hassle and a back up should things really become dangerous. As a better means to explore and take parts of their own interests across the universe.

Junko could see it being more interesting and if they didn't have the silk roads or gates... this would be the kind of vessel to heavily invest in... as it stood they were able to piggyback off the advancements of Sasori and improve on much that they are doing for themselves. They would be able to really improve on it as they worked in the galaxy and allowed themselves to get their colonies up and running with staff from all of their member worlds who wanted to be a part of the endeavor... though they would have the advantage of not going into the unknown without aid or protection. THey had the gates, they had the technologies and they had the information from different explorers and sources.

 

[Junko Ike]

Min seemed excited though... "{Oh if only we could have sent a troupe to entertain and gather informtion. I know we sent one of the pilots to that learning exchange... the information from her and her escort is coming through." Junko nodded at that and the data about the ships and how the fight training was going was coming in. Susano was a marvel of a pilot for one so young and the western wolves were some of the best in terms of Atrisians transitional generation. Those young enough to remember the war and resistance but those also young enough to be raised in ther new era. They are learning a lot more in school and have been given a great deal of training.

That information was coming in and feeding to them about some fo the ships which was updating their databases. There was also the access the astromech was giving as it was pairing with her and her interface to be within the ship... it didn't give much and the Galactic Alliance was their sovereign technically so they didn't need to get a lot of things from them. It just helped clarify some things as Atrisia avoided the bigger interaction and problems of the government ever since they cast Shoma out of the senate for a senator who had never come to Atrisia... that had been something and based on what they had seen... they then proceeded to do nothing.

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe was seeing what little information was coming from the presentation and from other ifnormation they had. Min's tours had been inturrupted but she was resuming it. Min was leading them through the halls and deeper into it. The room opening into a larger area that housed the throne room. The lavish designed a mirror of what they had set up but also an impressive more open display that used hardlight to conceal itself but made it so the chamber could double as a massive entertainment area... seats were designed to function as chairs and tables... the projectors were tens of thousands all around them and one could see media from all around the galaxy and beyond.

"And from here we have the ability to monitor and view media from around the galaxy to plan the direction for our influencers... we can urge without overt manipulation and control product sales and stories to circulate... if we are doing it correctly it will be unbiased and impressive enough to continue to increase Atrisian interests... we have already seen an uptaake in some of the younger demographics that buy our products and are having a better rating from a few others. We are sponsoring many influencers across the galaxy who are able to review and inprove many of our products on worlds with some of the more rich patronage for the purpose of credit influx."

 

[Junko Ike]

The influx of credits that they could get and would be able to get from the people outside of the Commonwealth was... a mixed bag as on the one hand the constant changing governments meant their currency changed and the exchange rates altered... it was why they had developed and gotten sanctioned the darakar an internal currency of the Commonwealth and it was a static exchange rate using the aurodium standard which went a longer way... it would allow them more chances to trade and they could exchange it on the borderworlds which brought commerce to them on the edges of the Commonwealth itself... their trade and artificial breakwater an important part.

"An influx would be beneficial in some ways... the more we have it the more the darakar increases in external value... right now it is thanks to everythign we offer worth most planets as an ingot instead of struggling... and the banking clans work with us.... we should see more increases once some of the newer model reconstructor droids hit the market and being able to be used. It will allow our shipyard and construction efforts become much larger and with the disposal... we will be able to maintain sanitary conditions compared to many other worlds in the galaxy." She said it and the reconstructor models were being more impressive for things they had... an improvement in many ways.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was in agreement.. they were working on many parts here and she looked at a design. "It looks like the research labs have worked on and improved for us... our reconstructors we developed to rebuild after mythos... they made a new one with the latest and then one using the infinite engine we have developed for terraforming." Junko said it and she had to admit... Sasori had so many labs they could make improvements almost hourly at each one and it would be an all day thing... just with Min alone they had a lot more things happening... this managed to do much more for them... as it improved Atrisia and improving atrisia improved life for all of them.

Min seemed excited though with her lekku twitching and she gave a nod of her head. "It will prove to be some of the most effective... I am not going to lie princess... we have been able to move past but all of the innovations to protect the planet from the ilk we have faced... all of the policy and protections... have improved things and built for us the new basis of what we have faced." She grinned as the atrisians invited and interbred with other species to strengthen with some of the traits and it was why many of them were improved upon.. She was one such example with the Wukong who were there and able to be checked around.

 

[Junko Ike]

Min continued to lead into the throne room and it was still massive... even more so somehow from the central area... Junko could see it was how the place was built... the walls designed to look like a dome with the interior from a certain angle seemingly endless skies as the holographic illuminated around. To give the impression of being within a void and able to interact with people or with the media.. Min was many things but she seemed to operate more robust in the open.. to make it feel at least in some cases like she preferred this sort of area of the planet and the galaxy. Just turning things over and over across the endless landscape of a void instead of art of beauty.

"It never ceases to amaze me... the quiet even when surrounded by all of this media and noise from the galaxy.. the people are largely beautiful... they give a lot of information.. they show a lot of their own lives." Min said it as she was standing there and Junko was next to her.. the impressive nature of it wasn't lost on her even if well... it wasn't for her. Junko preferred to see and be seen.. though for meditation void was important.. she could meditate on the force and enter a similar state where nothing reached her but it was rarely as impressive as this... though if she expanded her senses she supposed it might be like this when she was feeling and sensing the people..

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko continued to look and observer for a time... it seemed the Galactic Alliance was moving towards something and Atrisia was going to need to prepare... it was also working on some newer ideas equipment wise.. with the latest in terms of droids they could construct a few of the improved models for themselves and test those out here for the better. Junko knew a few other benefits as well if they could manage it and she was specificially looking at improving their standard blades.. if they could incorporate the warping and relocation tech for hyperspatial movements.. they could turn a simple blade into an even more powerful tool and weapon.

THey already had some fo the most advanced armor and few materials in the galaxy could stand up to their blades and cannons... even less now that they had these Omega cannon designs applied to their weapon synthesis and materialization systems... allowing with Materia for them to be able to create the new updated weapons. If the weapon designs and electro-tattoo's were able to be interfaced and worked together then they might be able to do a whole lot more... she could see a benefit to having Atrisians ready to in an instant if there was combat be able to melt and vaporize entire ships for escape with a secondary tattoo to sustain them even in vacuum.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see a few others as the tech demonstration for the flicker blades was being shown and it was... well even Min was impressed if it was able to do what it showed... it could change the game in a few cases for Atrisian combat techniques to let them move around a battlefield or just through entire crowds. THe Iota was what thney were thinking about and it was being designed as a means to have a walking armory at the ready... something that could rapidly construct weapons and equipment for use by the soldiers or just people in general for fighting... in the case of having a civilian militia it would be a means to protect from tyranny since the people could protect themselves.

Junko was also impressed with the hardlight tech and if that could be used for military purposes... then Min could use it for entertainment... the ability to have some of the solo acts present themselves as a group or to have extra dancers who knew instinctively the routine... could go a long way to making them all stars and if they used it for their designers... they wouldn't need a massive amount of teams around the galaxy.. they could spread the people out and allow them to work more on their own projects. "Well the phase echo could be used here by you if we wanted it... assuming the testing goes well." Junko said it and Min was nodding as they remained in the throne room.

 

[Junko Ike]

Min looked at her and bringing up the demo for the phase echo she was watching the hardlight holograms that were created... each one acting like a fighter in most situations... and with the flicker knife for the one who had been using it... they were able to move around the battlefield while the holograms worked as a combat unit.. the hardlight rifles and weapons attacking with solid enough strikes to harm targets... It was an impressive display that could be done and Min seemed to be thinking more about other parts of it. Where things could be tightened up and improved upon for all of them if it was going to be in use.

"It is an impressive model.. more so since it shows a continued improvement of the hardlight we already use and the warping tech... that mixed with something like the far-caster can become much better.... if we can deploy the far-caster onto worlds before an attack or battle it could make troop movement and deployment much better... soldiers like the crones could move around faster and with more agility then they already do." She had a grin on her face and was thinking more about the tactical advantage of it.. the Otachi they were training to defend would also be able to emergency far-cast and extract their charges much faster then others.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Oh my." Min moved a hand and an auction was coming up in the media feed... the intensity of it was impressive to see but more then that it was the bidding history as the credits were jumping.... higher and higher and higher... at this point it was at a place most of the corporations could pay or governments but it was going at such a rate and the collection of additional items being included was so intense... it verged on the far out there. She wouldn't deny most would want credit checks and more to try and make sure they could get all of those things..... personal star destroyers were not exactly something you just pulled out of anywhere.

Junko was looking at it and whistled.. temped to place a bid just to mess with it and push these fledgling companies to their limits... she loved the declarrations that they had nearly limitless resources to buy it and debated putting that to the test... since Sasori was there and could easily out shine with a case of aurodium or even darakar... the darakar would be exceptionally high but Sasori wasn't pushing their resources.... credits were easy... exotic technologies were more valuable and she was a little saddened the one running it didn't see the value in a reverse engineered infinite engine... it would allow you to make all of the things you needed the credits for.

 

[Junko Ike]

They continued to monitor it the auction that was going so... exceptionally high it was like bidding on planets themselves rather then just the ability to mine on the world.. which didn't mean much. A percentage of the total capability.... but they were looking to pay trillions upon trillions with ships, droids and equipment... to the point even Junko balked at the excess shown. "This might not be good but it is entertaining." Min nodded her agreement and the others were nodding approval as they had all sat around in lounge seats together.. they would be able to observe and see it. She was looking for the entertainment value of such a thing and it was there aplenty.

There was other things as the request for final offers came in and Junko was a little disappointed that the escalation was not going to continue but really where would they be able to go from there... it was becoming something only the most rich could do and it wasn't for a grand prize after all it was just something that could be done... even their invisible market while dealing with more expensive things... well it didn't have auctions going to such extrremes so quickly... it was handled with decorum and grace... style and it allowed Junko the chance that she was really looking for... with Min who was joining her for the entertainment... they could finish the show.

 

[Junko Ike]

The end of the auction brought less fun... it was interesting to see all of the other bids and any questions discarded so there was only one bidder... which took away a little. The watchers at the palace jeering it as the winner bet a small fleet and army with excessive amounts of credits so just some rights on a planet itself.... not the planet. JUnko looked at Min... "Bah we could have had a more entertaining one done." She debated it but holding an auction so soon... would be seen as copying and Atrisia didn't really sell rights or controlling interests to outsiders... they might get extreme bids but it wouldn't be worth it in most cases. Junko was checking some of the bids and the more outlandish ones were the longest running.

"Well that was... certainly something... I was hoping for a lot more entertainment but couldn't even answer the questions at the end.. might have led to even more bidders." She was looking at it as some information for them was coming. "Hmm looks like... it looks like our connections have expanded officially. THe colonies have all become online and are feeding information as well as connecting to us... which means we are well... extra dimensional and galactic now princess. the Commonwealth is officially one of the first to reach across everything." Min was looking at it as screens opened up and were showing other things.. feedback from what they had.

 

[Junko Ike]

The auction was over and for a moment Junko thought they would be able to get back to the tour... then Min was looking over soem other things that were appearing and she spoke. "Oh there is more." She said it and pulled up two things. "Hmmm, the business for the colonies should be interesting. I know some of the businesses in the galaxy might add to it and we'll get a decent portion." She said it and then pulled up the other as the promise of it coming soon... "The South Systems Bazarr is returning... that will also be important for us." She said it with a grin on her face as it was known many things could happen and change hands there.

Junko knew the reputation of the bazarr and what could happen... everyone did and if it was returning then the Atrisian Commonwealth should be involved... if only because you could end up with an impressive haul as both bidder and seller... they might benefit even more with a few other aspects that could be given as well. "This will be perfect." She said it and made some notes to ensure they had the latest technological wonders as well as some classics prepared to work with her... the mystery auction was an important aspect and either winning it or participating could add to a whole lot if they won. Junko wanted to but she knew it came down to Danger's choice in some cases.

 

[Junko Ike]

"The south systems will be a place to show off many of the Commonwealths innovations... Sasori will also be there which means our main competition will be them... and our main friends who are there." Junko said it with a small grin on her face as she debated it and what they could do with it... they had more then enough time to prepare it looked like and maybe make some more innovative means.. the improved terraforming technologies, the improved self sustaining technologies would improve much for them.. she didn't know about the rest of the galaxy and since most seemed to be treating hypergates as a new and discovered technology well their silk network was safe.

"We'll be able to maintain our use of hypergates here in the commonwealth and in the colonies since everyone seems to treat Locke and Key as the reinventors of the technology... makes it easier for us to innovate and improve it. We already have by most of these specs... since we have it able to reach our colonies in other galaxies and other locations." Junko said it and they could do a lot more with it.. if they could improve upon the design more like they already were then the far-casting technologies could be deployed to thousands of worlds and with it the ability to transport where needed... if they could manage that likely with sub-hyperspace hubs and beacons.

 

[Junko Ike]

The military actions being launched towards Tython were interesting enough given its proximity to Atrisia... they were in the core and not the deep core but their interests and her families interests were there... it was an important aspect of the jedi and their clan dated back to before the force wars... Junko used the blade her je'daii ancestors forged on that world from time to time as it resided with her lightsaber in its protective casing. So she was paying greater attention to it and what information was coming down to them before she and Min were finally able to go forward.. in the chamber would just keep bringing things up to them on the holonet.

Min went to her throne and Junko leaned over kissing her cheek. "Take care not to get to distracted but also fill us in if there is any major development... I am not kidding Min... day or night just inform us of the battle of if there is anything you are finding interesting." She said it and the twi'lek gave her a nod of her head in understanding as they were heading back and stepping out of the palace doors the light was bright... they had been in there all night and she would be able to sleep a little on the airship but they had gotten a lot of information in most cases.. they hadn't wasted the time as she headed back and could see many of the Otachi on their morning runs.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko joined for a moment allowing herself to watch and run towards the airship... not a full run... a slow pace that kept up with the Otachi as she was going forward... attention on some of the details now in the morning that they had a little of the shine off... she mostly saw the instructors were prepping and setting up to use with various weapons... equipment throughout the day. THey would be highly trained and some of them given the taskmaster implants which would alter and improve their muscles reaction times.. it was mnade to create a uniformity to their training so all of them would have similar muscle memories.

She moved onto the airship and it was beautiful as her handmaidens were around and they served as her Otachi as it were.. which built up a breat deal for herself... the ones who were still here were giving her more and more information as well as the other palaces as they were being brought online... the sciences, the military aspects, now the media and entertainment... the arts and further on she could see the sisters who were working on things.. their most talented were all prepared and set up as the airship kicked off from the palaces outerwall. THe sounds of the airship silent as above she could see more Atrisian fighters and ships were being produced and flying around.

 

[Junko Ike]

They kept moving, Junko going through the airship and she was finding a small place to relax... the travel to the other palaces gave her a small amount of free time but she didn't have to go right away as they were moving around and venturing. The defensive shielding set up at the ready... interest in what they had set up when she laid in the large bed that was in her airship. The handmaidens spreading out who were there and reports kept filing in from various sources that were giving her a lot more information... their science and development with Miyoungs labs were churning out other ideas for their dimensional engineering technologies as well as their military under Barca.

Junko slipped the interface off of her ear... the small light dimming as it entered update and back up mode to provide itself with a time to recharge and improve upon itself. The internal AI functioning like that and with its improved upon power source they would be able to do a lot more later she was certain of it. Her head hit the pillow and she was ready to be out like a light as the curtains were drawn and room shrouded.... the weapons being shifted around her handmaidens who were making themselves comfortable for the moment. "Sleep well princess." Junko yawned and gave a nod of her head to that as she closed her eyes and then was settling into a forceinduced sleep.

 

[Junko Ike]

She slept and allowed herself to drift off seeing visions in the force.. seeing herself and everything that they were creating here on Atrisia and beyond... visions were something... premonitions and dreams... but she rarely put stock in them.... terrible or something showing she would be great meant little to dream about if you couldn't make it happen and she preferred to make it hapen.... much like with Shoma or her family the reality was everything that they wanted to make it.. they wanted to improve parts of it that would more and more become parts of people lives. Plus here in one of the most comfortable beds surrounded by her handmaidens in a pile she was contented.

The sleep continued and eventually when she woke up the morning light was stioll there it had only been six or so hours... more then enough time to sleep and the jedi princess rose up getting dressed in a new outfit while she was looking into the distance the Yun's palace could be seen... it was beautiful. The handmaiden one who was usually in charge of her personal ship.. she oversaw and made sure it was always ready in case Junko needed to fly or if there was an attack they could join in the fight either to attack or to evacuate people. Her palace reflected her.... devotion though Phaidor would call it obsession with Junko as the white marble was beautiful and the icons of Junko were always welcome.

 

[Junko Ike]

"She certainly likes seeing you." Phaidor said it as she was there.... next to her and Junko grinned. "Well can you blame her.. I am incredibly hot." Junko said it and as a means of enjoying it all she stood there... her kimono sash tightening up a moment later before she was checking on it all... her hair in a long curtain over her shoulders and not flipped over or tied around. She looked much more casual then done up and ready for anything... Yue was one of the more... interesting Handmaidens that she had.. one of the ones whom she knew liked her to a degree that was bordering but she wasn't dangerous mostly and she largely served to maintain her affairs or pretty up her ship.

The airship docked and she could practically feel Yue coming.. like a building storm that was all anticipation and excitement as well as deeper down she could feel that the woman disliked having to wait.. she didn't want to be on the line of palaces she wanted to just be in Junko's palace or be the only one... which was why she wasn't usually with the retinue unless she was going off world. As Junko walked onto the deck of the airship she was able to see a lot more though and the marble statues of her were very detailed... to her likeness to the point she was certain you could tell who she was from orbit if it needed to be seen as opposed to just any statue.
