The Problem with the Force

[Ravenfire]

Location - Noasis Mirdirmorut Labs

Tom was standing in the main hall of the Mirdirmorut Labs on Noasis. He had sent out a general invite to the engineers of the ME to come here and start a project. The project that had been given the go ahead of the Mand'alor was that they were to look for now ways to get around some of the stranger force powers. Some of which Tom himself was able to use. Hence why he had asked to lead it. He would stand there waiting.

When they arrived they would be shown straight through by the security forces and their little buddies the Akalenedat’ike. They would meet Tom and he would then take them to the Black-out site. There they would be able to talk and do things freely. The main reason was really because all the special materials for Mirdirmorut was kept there. As such they could use some of the materials to figure out what was the best against those Force powers.

[Kanta Tukka]

Kanta smacked his lips inside his coconut armour. This song was going to be important! A worthy song of the Choristers of the Akalenedat'ike, for it was a song of the Metal Coconuts and some wibbley wobbley invisibley thingy mackjiggers. The three foot tall coconut clad 'warrior' padded over to a pile of technical equipment, which beeped and sang its' own little song.

It was a hard song. An arrhythmic song. Unpleasant.

"Oooooooooooooooooo" Poking the machinery with his staff (a big stick with barnacles on it), Kanta Tukka yelped as the metal box with the beeps bleeped louder, jittering about and moving to face him.

"Bad song! Bad song! Bad song!" The little creature raced behind [member="Tom Taff"], brandished his 'spear', looked to his Metal Coconut friend, then with a blaring(ly silly) war cry, charged the droid.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

One thing that Acaleus hated the most wasnt the security checks, but leaving his expensive and loved weapons in a table. The weapons would stay on his ship "You should at least give me the right to keep one wrist lightsabers, Tom. I hate being without them. Kaine, how you doing?" said taking out a holocron from his sleeve, as the guards who accompany him were surprised. Before entering Acaleus create a single distraction at the moment he went through the metal scanner, throwing the cube and picking it, without anyone noticing "Now what is going on about this new tech you are trying to develop?"

Tom smiled at [member="Kanta Tukka"], he had to laugh when it charged the droid. "Kanta, the droid is a friend please don't keep attacking it." He would then pick the coconut up and give it a chocolate bar. These little people were the best thing on this watery planet. He could watch them all day and the guards had really taken a liking to them as well.

[member="Kaine Australis"] would then walk in. "Uncle Kaine good to see you. I am glad someone showed up." Then [member="Acaleus Thorn"] would show up to talking about not having his lightsabres "You know you were allowed to bring whatever you want, the security are just here for show today, if you really wanted weapons you could bring them no problems, after all we have a special counter measure set up in the lab today just in case." He would say with an easy smile.

"To answer your questions what we are looking at is how were are going to beat the force without using void stones or ysalaimir. As such we are going to our blacksite facility were we keep all of our 'special materials' including a mandalorian artefact I found. Please follow me." He would say with a smile leading them to a tram station heading across the watery expanse. He absentmindedly gave Kanta another chocolate bar while doing so.

"Do you mind Acaleus if I ask what is the holocron for exactly?" He would ask as he walked onto the tram still holding Kanta.

 

[Alkor Centaris]

"I think the problem is perspective," Alkor tossed into the mix as he descended the ramp of his YT-1400, a recent acquisition that gave him infinitely more mobility than public transportation. It wasn't a Mandalorian ship, but it got the job done. When [member="Tom Taff"] asked for his cooperation and R&D efforts from Balmorra, he quickly rounded up some of BA's best and brightest and headed for Noasis.

The techs who followed him out seemed more anxious than anything, not the armored, armed to the teeth type that their majority shareholder was. Despite that, the news that they could be involved with cutting edge Mandalorian technology sold them on the project entirely.

"You're looking at the Force itself as the enemy. I spent years using it, and not once did the Force do any part of my fighting for me. No," he settled into a position near [member="Kaine Australis"] and rested his weight on his right foot. "What we need to focus on is the target using the Force. Incapacitate, maim, kill- we do whatever we can to get an edge. Taking away their ability to the Force only removes one part of their arsenal. We should be aiming to fight the entire enemy."

The techs hurried forward when he gestured for them, and each produced a DataPad that in turn projected several schematics. Droids, small arms- myriad means for facing more than a single sort of threat.

Mandalorians believed in "Total War."

Alkor was going to tackle this problem the Mando way.

 

[Kista Bralor]

So there was a summit of loyal Mando’ade for a scientific project.

Kista was less interested in what the project was. She was just more interested in being part of it and helping to promote the Mandalorian Empire and her company as well.

Kista was starting to travel more often off Mandalore now. Still paranoid she was mainly using a Capital ship still. Given her back ground one could not blame her. From orbit she took a Firespry down the Mirdrmount Labs.

Before landing of course she gave her credentials. When going through security she would have not handed over her weapons even if they had asked nicely.
On a stubborn mission she had stomped her ways throughout the halls, being escorted of course because she had no idea where she was going. That is until she came to the room where everyone was gathered. Just in time to hear [member="Alkor Centaris"] and Kista could not argue with his perspective.

“There are a number of ways you can disorient an opponent in combat. Stun and Sonic grenades are some ways. We could develop some new grenades that can be used by our troops. It could be a cheap effective way to give our troops a little edge without taking the honor of facing a worthy adversary.”

[Kanta Tukka]

“Oooooooooo droid friend?” Kanta looked up from his assault of the droid’s lower extremity, to drop his hands with his big fighting stick.

“Friiieeenndd.” Kanta patted the droid, attempting to make friends with the odd metal device. Trotting up beside [member="Tom Taff"] and [member="Kaine Australis"] as @Alcaeus Thorn and [member="Alkor Centaris"] arrived.

Taking a little lyre out from under his fashionable conch shell hat, Kanta tuned it briefly, before smacking his lips.

“Gas is great, and kapow-ey’s late
But the best way to shatter a Mando’ad’s bladder’s
is sing songs of sonics.” Kanta hopped around, pretending to get ‘hit’ by sonics, while he sang.

“Glitter is better than gold or shines,
Mandragora’s girl with the fuzzy coat made glitter
and acid in a bullet. Acid and metal shrapnel finds
Chinks in the armour of Mando’mooks in snow.”

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

"A holocron i manage to steal from a Hutt when i was in the Techno Union. It contain my type of force usage" Acaleus levitate the Holocron and open it, showing a proyection of schemes"It takes a huge amount of concentration at first, but then it just comes natural. It uses the same concept of creating a force shield , but close to the user body" It was the best explanation he had. In combat, he always used to create concentrated force shields, that could protect him against big close explosions.

One time Acaleus got captured and after a few days, he managed to escape weaponless from bounty hunters. That was because he used those days to recover, and stabb his way to freedom molding the force into a hand knife. But of course, the technique isn´t perfect and have its flaws. The user must keep a majority of concentration for the whole time, so it was more of stabbing and breaking necks against the kidnappers "Thats one of the things i can provide"
