Asteroid Big Top

The Kazahana Asteroid fields were actually not such a bad place compared to some of the lesser areas of the system. at least it was closer to the planets and Matsu's mining operations could work out here carefully harvesting the stygium and other metals. Aurodium and crystals along with ore among them. It also served as a good place to work in a converted mining facility they had cleaned up and formed into a small testing area for new implants and medical technologies. Using the information gleamed from the shadow repository and vault of manuals was key in that regard while the winter eagle was docking with the facility. That she was going to meet with a perspective contract, a woman of not much renowned but that ws good. It meant she wasn't likely to be in bed with others who liked to cause drama for other people cause they were bored. "When my guest arrives please get her set up, docked with some food or tea." Still a jedi, drinking wasn't needed and looking at the medical staff working on some of the force enhanced pieces she was glad they had moved out into space.

It had been a long week for the young ringmaster, after much searching and frustration she had found the famous CS Alura built and used by her ancestors past. Finally, she was overjoyed to see that the troupe was all coming together.

All she needed now was an ally, someone to help with development and the production of some of her unique ideas. Recently she had been contacted by a Jedi Master named [member="Matsu Ike"] searching for help producing medical implants. Being, semi-desperate NIyla took up the contract and was headed to the location now.

Odd base of operations. Niyla thought as she comfortably spun in the captain's chair, twiddling her thumbs and admiring the view of hyperspace. The quiet could make a girl uneasy for sure. Such a huge ship to be alone in. At least for now, it was easy to find artistic people in search of a paying job. She wasn't necessarily worried about that part of it. What she was worried about was finding places to perform and the credits to do it. Where she was headed now, was an opportunity she needed to play right.

Kazahana Asteroid fields; wonder what lurks out there. Probably some giant creature ready to devour my ship, of course only after it has been looted by raiders. The girl chuckled to herself. Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by a sharp beeping sound warning her she was 10 minutes out from her destination. She threw herself up from the chair and stretched a little. She was fairly nervous about this contract. She was definitely not an expert at crafting. She only knew what her father had taught her, from which he learned from his father, and so on. Perhaps she was being called upon for her older style of craft. The mass-nulling clips she recently produced were old tech, she was sure that was what led this woman to her. Niyla just hoped she could do what was asked of her.

After dressing herself in more appropriate attire, including the ringmasters red robe, her black collared shirt, and a white skirt falling down to her ankles; she was ready to meet with her contractor. Niyla now sat back into the pilot's chair and docked with [member="Matsu Ike"] . Unlike newer model ships, with this old tech she had to manually un dock. She spun the latch off of the door and it slip open. Niyla walked through the dock, her heart was beating slightly above its normal tempo. When she emerged from the dock she entered this new place, greeted by what looked like a few servants. They brought her tea, which Niyla gladly accepted. "Where is Miss [member="Matsu Ike"] ?" She asked kindly, anxiously awaiting their response.

There was news and Matsu raised her head up sensing it, the ship was old, the look of the woman impressive and the robe was nice. More showy then the jedi's robes but then most people were as she was moving anf rubbed her hands together in anticipation at this visit before she arrived out looking towards the HRD. "Harmony we have a guest, lets ensure we got everything we needed and have all the paperwork ready." More thoughts as the silvery droid moved away and she approached her standing to her full height of five feet tall with thick black hair straight around her shoulders. "Welcome to our secret asteroid base. Careful not to set off the death ray." A joke... terrible more then likely but walking she had a smile on her face. "I am master Ike, welcome and thank you for coming." Matsu motioned and showed where they were working in one bay while in another medical procedures were being done with the bacta implants being worked on. "Would you like some food or tea?" She motioned to the wall panel and screen as she spoke. "Tea, hot." The converter went to work as it was building up and constructing for her the cup with steam from the hot tea inside as she sipped it.

The Jedi master had a powerful connection to the force that even Niyla could sense with her low level of force sensitivity. She was impressed with the hospitality of Master Ike. Upon being addressed she smiled and offered her hand. "Thank you for having me." She said and sipped at the tea she was given upon entering the base. As the liquid went down her throat her eyes lit up. "This tea is very nice, is it an original recipe?" She asked, her voice a higher pitch than normal, perhaps trying to sound more impressive.

Niyla was not expecting such a quality facility. "How many people and droids operate here?" She was curious of the stations capabilities.

Matsu bowed taking her hand as she thought about the tea and spoke. "It is originally from my family on Atrisia but now programmed into our converters.So many can get it." She held a small smile at being proud of that before she looked at the base. "We have about three hundred people here, droids and people. Some of them doctors and medical staff, some of the jedi healers working to create wonders to improve jedi healers." Leading the way through to her desk while she was looking over some more of it. "We have had it in operation for awhile but only recently have had the real funding to get our ships out working to help people and planets that require specialized aid. That is how I learned about you and your troupe. A group that travels and entertains is just as important as anything else."

 

[scarletsurf]

"Thank you for recognizing that. Not many do." She smiled; her eyes reflecting another emotion. Though Niyla appreciated Master Ikes hospitality very much, she grew anxious to learn why she was called here. "Still, I was surprised to see a medical outlet looking for help from a troupe like mine. What is it you want of my circus?" She asked, trying not to seem upfront.

Matsu looked at her. "Well your actions, your group can provide just as much help to people as my healers and doctors. Who is more intuned to what people like and need then an entertainer. Plus your skills might benefit from what we offer, you'll get hurt, you'll get serious injuries. It doesn't matter how skilled or professional you are, everyone has that bad day. We can have a trained medical member there for the injuries your professionals get in their job. Any helpful implants we make that might help them could be used to help. Some of the more showy implants can be used for things. The blockers to prevent inhalation of smoke, processing implants to give then better ways to administer healing medicine, cuticle implants for jazz hands."

As the girl spoke Niyla listened to her closely, these were all great things and she understood that. She just did not know what Master Ike was asking of her and her troupe. Did she want her to advertize? She did not want to ask such meager questions but she felt it necessary to be clear on what they were doing here. Niyla sipped at the tea, licking her lips as she went on to her question.

"Master Ike, what is it you are asking of me and my company?" She asked and tilted her head to the side to express her curiosity and confusion with the proposition.

Matsu looked at her and tapped a finger. "We want your troupe to use our services at a discounted rate. As Sasori doesn't charge more then the people can pay and having them travel around and provide help with you and the different worlds can add to getting their name out there to the peopl. Free press and you'll have ways to get medical attention as you need it or gear that can help. Our gravity levelers are great for walking on walls and ceilings." Her look though while sipping at the tea as she sat there. "I also have an enjoyment for taking in shows. People a lot more brave then me who can get up and preform in front of people."
