Keepin Corellia Weird
Ostanes wasn't exactly new to electrical work and engineering. Truth be told he had started there years ago before he had became an acolyte of the Sith and started down the path of Alchemy and the Sorcery of the Dark Side. But, again, lightsabers were an utterly different beast of burden than he was used to in most of his ventures, and so he had sat up his alchemy lab with a few of his favorite electronic toys.Diagrams lined the walls, on old fashion paper as he favored, a neglected holo-projector beaming a form into the air of an exploded view of a lightsaber. Parts were highlighted or enlarged, and he noted each. There were simple things he wanted in this, like the ability to lessen and the return the blade size to normal. Some blades could even become larger, but he wasn't quite sure how that worked. But making it smaller was, to his mind, simple enough anyone could do it.
The shii'do bent over the projector and pulled a piece of paper from a pile and studied it intently, reading with a crooked brow. With his reintroduction back to the ranks of Akure Executives alchemists as he began to rebuild his workshop, he had chosen a new form unknown to most, a synthesis of hundreds of faces to chose one both professional and intelligent and oddly sinister in some lights.
The paper though, was more important than the smoldering look his new face gave it. It detailed the basics of a way to eliminate dimetris circuits from a lightsaber, thus making it immune to cortosis shorting it out. The requisite paths and alternate circuity were confusing, but reaching out with the Force, after a moments struggle of concentration, and fighting again the blur of stolen memory, he managed to pull a stool to himself. It was easier than last time at least. It seemed whatever Rave did also made relearning even more complicate in some regards.
Sitting down, he turned to the project at hand. If he was going to begin his ascent again, he would need a tool that the masses would recognize him by, and that he could use against any Jedi who might get too jumpy about things.
