When All Is Said And Done

[Riamah]

While the thought crossed her mind to run, she again knew it would be futile. Those naturally golden eyes looked to HK as the various droids made sure everything was laid in the sarcophagus properly. Stopping just before completion, he asked if she had any last words to say.

"I feel everything I did was for the right purposes."

Very suitable last words and it covered everything she had done for the last several years for various purposes.

@Ra'a'mah,


Ra said her piece and the machine did not reveal whether he agreed or not, instead he just looked over to one of the Greycloaks who was standing by a console operating the whole contraption. HK gave him a nod, signalling to proceed and the other droid pushed in a sequence of buttons.

The sarcophagus Ra was placed into would hiss and shudder as its heavy lid would fall down and close, trapping her inside the tube as the droids watched through the transparisteel opening. Soon enough it would be revealed what they exactly meant by "paying the Iron Price" as from the opening above Ra a stream of hot, molten metal would rain down. It would have probably been a very painful but quick ordeal as the woman's body was covered in glowing, liquid durasteel, burning her almost to the ash and sticking to the bones.

After the procedure was finished, and presumably screams stopped, the stream of burning liquids would stop and the machines would just simply stand and watch, cooling systems within the sarcophagus would fire off, spraying Ra with a solution that would help the metal solidify faster. Finally the lid of the tube would lift up once more, revealing beneath what remained of her, a statue that looked like melting wax figure made out of metal.

HK looked over to another Greycloak and gave them a nod, the other machine grabbed another apparatus and one of his brothers joined him with a lightsaber. Moving over towards Ra's metal encased remains, the Greycloak with a lightsaber would place the energy sword to the woman's limbs, freeing her silhouette from metal connecting her to the sarcophagus and opening up her joints to allow movement. The two droids pulled her body out and the Greycloak with an apparatus would step up behind her. His device looked like a skeletal frame, he would spread it out, like metal spider limbs the steel rods of the device would reach over and cover Ra's limbs, hooking onto the metal covering her body and joints and latching to it hard.

The Greycloak activated the device and its droid brain would begun to power up. Soon enough Ra's corpse would start to shudder and shake as the droid skeleton attached to her would force her body to take one step forward, then another one, twisting and turning her torso and arms in the process to calibrate her limbs. The machines would animate her metal encased body with external hydraulic muscles and a droid brain as if she was a puppet,

"Darth Tracy, please welcome the newest addition to my court, the Lady of Honesty, I will keep her near me as a reminder about what happens to those who lie and keep secrets from me, and those who try to involve me in such trifle matters as low bounties of petty organic governments."

With that HK would look to another Greycloak and gave out a command,

"Take her to the forges, have her body shaped with external armor and augmented so she looks somewhat decent."

And at that point he would stop the recording for Kainan.

The nerve endings that had so far been almost dormant finally registered what was happening. Luckily for those watching the sarcophagus was sound proof. The howls of pain from herself were the last things she heard as her body was essentially destroyed, leaving only a skeleton behind. Once that metal had cooled and the body lifted from the tube, not a piece of Ra other than her visage would be present.

Without any sense left, there was no feeling when the spiderlike apparatus latched onto her form. Like a robot, it would make her body move and relearn how to control itself. A brain was given to it and the order given to go to the forges for a few changes.

Like a puppet she was, that brain followed orders given. Falling into step behind the Greycloak the newly named Lady of Honesty droid walked out of the chamber to be refitted.

@Ra'a'mah,


HK watched the group of droids leave the execution chamber, leaving him alone. He would stand there for a minute, waiting in his loneliness before deciding to walk out as well.

It was time to get Lady of Mercy acclimated to her new situation.
