What is best in life?

[Basaba Willamina]

YAVIN IV

It was the site of many fights and Basaba looked at the others who had come while she sat on the large mechanical beast. They were testing them out, weapons, equipment and just general systems. The basilisk was favored but those were in disrepair through out most of their space. Few since the dark ages knew how to really repair the beasts of war even their current smiths. So the sisters had worked hard with the Mandalorian companies to make a new one, a larger and more powerful one that could do everything.

That was why she sat there on the large being tested cerberus war droid and looked at the more Cthulhu class battle droids. Each made for a specific purpose that they could employ on the battle field and each designed to fight their enemies, who that would be was up for debate but they could still do much as she spoke into the comlink and sat on the mount. The sight of the jungle canopy in clear view for her to see.

 

[Milo Osbron]

While Milo watched the other Madalorian Ride off to test the towering war machine, he sat next to the shuttle running through the systems on the Cthulhu class battle droids that he had partially dismantled.
Milo started his tinkering by removing the weapons and setting them aside, someone else could tinker with those. Milo loved tinkering with droids of any kind. So far he had spent the morning double checking every system connections in the unit. He didn't even stop for lunch, not that the thought of lunch at all.
Checking his list he still had much to go over but so far he had certified that the motion tracker, basic processor/ back up remote processor, and the parabolic guides were running properly. He was still iffy on the specs for the broadband transmitter/receiver, and the droid perception sensors. Milo had never had the chance to tinker with anything this new.
Well back to studying the specs.

 

[Gilamar Skirata]

Stepping out of the shuttle that had just landed, Gilamar looked up at the giant droids, an impressed whistle sliding off his lips. "Now how 'bout that?" he muttered to himself, walking to one of the droids and placed an armored hand on it. These massive machines...They resembled the beasts of old, but now stood much taller than he had ever seen.

 

[Atia Santorus]

Atia, while being a commander, almost invited herself to the demonstration of these new droids. The Galucus never thought droids as soldiers, more like good cannon fodder to take the heavy fire while lives were saved in the process. As such she knew that it wasn't a matter of how effective these droids were, only how good they were at taking down enemy troops before being turned into scrap metal. She was silent the entire time as she examined the different classes, tapping the armor here-and-there to make sure it was sturdy enough. She also studied the weapons to see how efficient they were, still not showing any signs of being impressed.

Basaba looked down from the mount now at the others and checked the datapad sending the orders to the other engineers. There was more they needed to do but for now at least as she moved forward the demonstration could begin with weapons spinning up and clay pidgeons firing off. Target and drones set up to allow the other droids chances to fire off and test their aim. "Alright everyone check your targets and keep as much data as you can. We'll be going for live fire."

 

[Milo Osbron]

Milo heard the weapons test begin.
It was time this unit was ready, time to put it back together.
After an hour of re-assembly the unit he was working on was ready to have its own weapons tested. With any luck the tweaks he had made would make it among the fastest shooters of this droid group.

Milo sent the droid out to a safe distance to begin the test. As the clay pidgeons were rapidly picked off. The whole time He kept recording as much data as he could. So much data to go through. So much to go over. Milo couldn't wait.

Basaba had a grin on her face while the war droid was going into it. Firing shots off into the jungle while the link up from the war droids marching was reading scans, their grenades launchers were firing and the chant of the warriors shadow was coming loud and clear. Her eyes were scanning and going about the main controls until she stopped firing and looked to the other technicians. "Swap the head pieces out, close quarters." Basaba had a look on her face whole they moved quickly to swap the frontal pieces with another armament then an old speeder was brought in as she started to attack it with the jaws biting down hard on it and slicing the speeder in two.

 

[Milo Osbron]

Milo was going over the collected data when the order to swap parts was given
Not wanting to hold anything back he quickly scurried over to the designated droid and began the refit. Not having the height or reach of the other technicians meant that he took nearly twice as long to do the same refit job.
Once he finished the refit and was ready to send the droid he'd been working on back out into the test field, he began to climb down when the droid began heading to the test zone with him still aboard. He climbed down as fast as he could and jumped the rest of the distance to the ground.
It wasn't the most graceful landing ever but he was fine.

Basaba had it switched out and stood with a grin seeing the others while she forwent the weapon in exchange for gnashing jaws and claws to tear at the forest. The others all had personal prototypes to try out and link with the droids and now the real fun could begin while she climbed up. Seeing Milo and nodding only a bit until she sat down in the cockpit and looked to the displays. "Load up and move out, see whatr you can do and make sure all data goes to the engineers for this." Then she was moving forward and the Cerberus raised claws swiping at tree's and the jaws snapped breaking a thick trunk.

Xander's journey to returning to the vod with honor was improving. While he took some time in Dathomir to flesh out his skills, he was invited by a vod named Basaba Willamina to help test out a war droid system she had modified, taking him to Yavin IV. He hadn't formally met the sister in person or had been qualified to go himself, but he knew that this assistance would come with a reward. Knowing some people back on Mandalore, she offered to help modify his since rusted beskar'gam, which didnt come as a surprise since it was his father's from when he was Xander's age. If he wasn't careful, the armor would easy be demolished, taking Xander with it.

Nevertheless, he was here on Yavin IV helping to test out the war droid. He surveyed the prototype he had been given, along with the weapons and its' structure overall. It was a magnificent creation, and Xander couldn't wait to get his hands dirty with it.

Basaba continued forward as the sights and sounds of gnashing teeth tore down the trees and the weapons mounted were able to fire. Her recorder was getting it all as she went about the moves. The large war droid setting a new standard hopefully while she spoke and stopped the massive beast. Standing up and taking a helmet off she looked down at the ground and the tree's canopy that was still stand before taking the weapons on the mounts and testing the field of fire. It was almost perfect in her mind and for the ones who helped it would be easy to help them build of do as they needed. They could do so much with the equipment here already. Basaba brougth the war droid back to the staging area and climbed down while she got to work on the data. "Any reports of interest?"

Xander didnt remember how he met Basaba, or know how he managed to find himself on Yavin IV, which was one of the few times he found himself outside of Mandalore ever since he was left there by his father. Xander studied each of the weapons laid out for mounting on his assigned beast. They were numerous: Blasters, Missile Pods, Grenade Launchers, etc. He stepped back and attempted to mount his beast before he would test any of the weapon systems. Making it successfully, he sat back in the rider compartment to try to decipher the complex HUD systems that it possessed. His father had taught him a little bit about HUD systems when it came to starfighters and basic transportation crafts, but this one was a mystery. "I am interested in maneuvering and piloting the beast. She's a bit advanced.", Xander spoke into a nearby recorder, hoping to get some assistance in this.
