Far behind thick walls, closed doors and many guards. The heads of the banking Clan met for the reveal of something special. Salvan Gehun's pet project meant to make up for a past quarterly slump years ago. "Gentlemen. Today I am pleased to reveal a project years in the making. A weapon in the form of a man. We created this weapon with one of the toughest races in the galaxy, Gen'dai. Augmented with the greatest technologies affordable in the galaxy. With natural regeneration abilities unparalleled. Mandalorian armor shielding him. Millennia of lifespan still within him. And brain chips to control him. Fear as we call him. Will be the ultimate weapon of type, and one that shall serve us and future Clan heads in long years ahead. So without further delay, let me reveal to you the fruits of our credits". The large doors to this meeting room swung open. And in stepped a dozen guards and a very tall armored man.
"Fear. Say hello to your masters". The smuggest grin crossed Salvan's fat lips. He was so proud of himself right now. That's what executive types do though. Take all the credit when it was the work of those under them that pushed through the many hurtles to complete this project.
"Hello Masters". A very dull sounding voice greeted them all. Not his usual tone but he was in a reduced capacity state so not to cause any problems.
"Well he's impressive looking for sure Gehun. But size means little you know".
"Yes, but size is just a added benefit of our best candidate. He proved to be most accepting of the augments and excelled in the training. The others didn't take to it all like he did. So many losses, but a diamond in the rough here gentlemen. I can assure Fear can live up to his stature. And I have prepared a short video to prove such". Gehun tapped a small button and a holo recording appeared over the table. Blue hue taking over as the lights dimmed. Various physical activities proved his strength. Speed and endurance. It ended with a gladiator style fight against lesser experimented subjects. The brutality was evident and they couldn't even finish the film. "Well, I'm sure that says what I couldn't".
"Yes. But, what will the Mandalorian's think of this creature. He's as much a monster as he is sentient. If they find out about your experiments Salvan it won't be our heads I'll have you know". The Muun was ruffled for sure. They cared only for their own necks more than a profit.
"Exactly. If his purpose is to just deal with the debtors and undesirables that need to be dealt with; why are we doing this when our own men or some mercenary can just do the same. This is out of line".
"This is what you asked for years ago. And now I have come through and all you say is this isn't what you wanted!? I lived up to my end of the bargain and whether you like it or not I'll use him if none of you will. He'll succeed where many will fail. And no one will dare again fail payment once they know what will happen to them". The room fell silent. The tension so thick you could cut it with a knife and eat it. Fear stood still. Doing as he was told before like a good dog.
The Muun at the end of the conference table cleared his throat. He was the true leader of the IGBC. "Gehun. I agree Fear may be of use to us. I share the fears though of others this may in turn bite us. I will need real results that he will stay on a short leash. And no records will turn up about what was done to make him. I also noted he needs refinement. Military training. A beast may be able to kill but it doesn't stop until destruction and ruin are all around. Send him to the Mandalorian's for training. They will turn beast to machine, loyal and conforming. Do so Gehun, then he may be used to deal with our delicate matters". The Muun spun around in his chain. The matter was now closed.
Salvan gulped back a choke in his neck. "I will do so Chairman. Fear will be the refined tool we need. I'll take my leave now. Thank you gentlemen for being here for the unveiling". The Muun left the room with Fear and the guards in tow. Leaving the rest of the heads to quip back and forth to one another on this matter. Much was needed to be done now. And little time in which to do so.
