Black Lotus

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia stood there as she was moving around with the others, they had come here to the mines with the clan mother. CHai La and the Willamina clan were getting things reinforced and constructed to become a stronger material with something few others could do. The young mando though was slightly awkward even in the armor as Tysk herself was walking with the combat shotgun. Something of a slight few others could match before the cape and jakobeast fur around her collar before the woman spoke to all of them. "Welcome all of you, you have passed your trials and now we are giving you the chance to get to see Chai La's inner workings. We work the iron into something far superior and design it for ourselves." Sia nodded her head to that in understanding of what they were doing. A project to get and refine the beskar for use in their gear.

She continued to watch it while the lift was coming down into the mines, they had set it up in the area providing a number of new and interesting sections where they could go. Allowing the clan to move through it and from the freight lift that brought down some of the larger equipment she could see them. The cerberus battle mounts they had set up and developed when it was being brought out of the lift and set up to be worked on. They had been overhauling it, making it stronger and more powerful for the clan to use as specialized riders since the size of it allowed the titanic beasts to compete and fight against a number of other monsters in the galaxy. All they needed to do was work on the weaponry to really develop it inot a bigger and better ship. She had seen them whiile growing up on Dxun for the clan. Set at places where their gates could be reached. "Awesome."

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Her voice came out and Tysk turned to look at her as the t shaped golden visor glowed with a look at the young mandalorian providing a few ideas of what she would be able to do with it. "Yes it is, as a way to mine and build up stronger pieces of tech for going into areas of combat that we would be able to protect our people should war ever come to Dxun or we will be able to come after the enemies of the clans." Sia knew that enemies was a broad term in some cases it seemed that anyone who looked at the mandalorains was an enemy unless they seemed to give you their lunch credits. her mother had been discussing it with the Aden of the clan, Basaba their largest and one of the greatest warriors compared to all fo the new ones. Allison and Anita were also skilled in their actions and fighting with the others providing a number of new and improved soldiers.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Hmmm Sia was there and that was making sense to her while she thought more about it, a lot of the clans work she knew was on making their own materials that much more productive and protective then just the standard and if they could make wardroids exclusive for the clan or ships and armor that were comparable to the others and in a state of well in her opinion far superior quality then they had something that contributed to the overall benefit of the clan itself. Tysk was the one leading them in these endeavors while their warriers were being sent out to secure better and more fortifications for Dxun. it might be a moon of Onderon but it was their home and their clans claim as they worked on it. She could feel the others here as beskarsmiths were working on the synthmesh and beskar for themselves with the other materials.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

"You are all going to be working in here for now, as the newest initiates within the clan I want you all prepared for scut work to better help the clan. If you aren't doing scut work in your first years as an initiate then you are doing it right." She laughed under her helmet and was walking with them leading the way towards the work areas that the different initiates in their armor were making. She could see most of it now and prepared herself for a different level of attitude, she wasn't going to get to just be fighting across the galaxy to gain funding for the clan and building up their coffers to make new equipment. She was going to be doing what they others who came with them did and work at the bottom rung for the time being until they were older and able to better handle the situation. Fine by her following Tysk as she worked her way through the area.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia continued to go to work, the mandalorian initiates were here and prepared to work on everything which gave them a lot to do in the beskar mines when she could see Tysk working with the others. The cerberus wardroids were bulkier and larger then the basilisk and there was more weapons geared to go on it. The repulsors themselves were made for it to move around, some more parts of it were set up as she imagined riding around on one for herself to go into battle against the enemies of the clan or to protect their people. Their assets here when more of the mandalorians had come in and they were loading up the different ores into repulsor sleds that they had found with the beskar chunks being set to work with the new mixture itself. The sounds of the smiths heating up and testing out their hammers came.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

She was seeing Tysk working with the others as she brought up soe fo the new weapons that they were installing and working on with the power packs. The new and improved rylith crystals provided something few others could get as it almost made all of their weapons into superior and stronger light blasters. Something that many others didn't use or think about plus it was far more universal for their own works. She had a chunk of rock seeing the clans mother fire off the sonic shotgun with a nod of her head that it was good testing it and making it far more focused for a longer range. She was liking the sight of it and knew they had been working to get better and superior weapons that would work with their allies and fellow clan members.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia stayed there for awhile longer, this wasn't a sprint it was a marathon in terms of what they were doing while Tysk had gone to see the melting pot that would hopefully be a new material used by Chai La on their weapons and equipment... maybe, it seemed more fitted to vehicles and the like since they were combining it with that one material and she could feel the brushings of the force as they were working with it. Unlike a number of clans they dind't mind force users and it would be giving many of the things to the clan. Sia could see that they were developing a plat for the cerberus droid itself that was disassembled into a very bare bones design.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia continued to work and watch with it before she was sticking some of the ore into the container that was going towards the forge with a nod of her head. It was getting hot down here but she could hear the sounds as the hammer fell down onto the anvil sna dpounded the hor metal into plates of metal that would work for what they were wanting to make. She could see the cooling synth weaved mesh plates that were being cooled. "Alright all of you finish up and we can work on more of it." she stayed there ready to work on some of the things before she was moving up, Tysk was leading them towards the metal plates but there was something else there when she saw tables with some fo the food and rations.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

"Even tough mando's have to eat when they are working so fill up and make sure you are all cleared to keep working, we'll start showing you the new plans for what we want to do with the ore you are mining here." Tysk stood there and was ready to go it seemed but all of the mando's were prepared to eat while a droid crew came over and was handling the machines and processes. None of it required their hands for now so a clan family meal that were getting it good based on the snack cakes and mre's they would be able to get. Sia was dehydrating the one pack with a look as it started to puff up and become a nice juicy piece of meat and potato's along with her water and she saw some of the others when they started cutting into it. "Hmm now this is good eating."

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia continued to look at what they were doing, well they were working but now as they were all eating she got to see some of her sisters that were there. She knew the clan mothers daughters were around and sometimes you could catch their children with some of the other clans to bring them in and get help from them... well some of them it really was political compared to some since the more you dug into the heart of the clans it seemed the more puss could run forward and she saw it all there when the others were bringing up and presenting the improved plating to her. Making a place where they would be able to show it off to all of them and they would likely continue to work in the mines for the rest of the day.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

"You have all been doing well and since there is a lot more here int he mines then just collecting ore I am going to let all of you in one one of the things that we have been doing with our business partners and allies. Those who have been helping out our clan with the newest and latest improvements." Sia was there listening and watching it when the time came showing the plates that they had developed for the more dangerous aspects. "We have been working with the new synth mesh that has been developed by Sasori. It is wintrium over lightweight metal and able to be combined with a number of materials including the mandalorian iron we have been working with. The weight is changed but it gets stronger."

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia was listenign to it and seeing it there the plates they had been developing were going to be a mixture of wintirum and beskar... which meant the heat would likely work to age and dry the wintirium out so that it would be stronger and she was doubting it would change the weight of it that much. Seemed like it was heavier in many cases as they were moving with it and they would need to use it with more of the repulsor sleds. "The end result of the smelting and development has given the metal a stronger denser feel to it. We are comparing it and putting on the level of hijarna stone which means it won't be used for everything if anything we will be developing it to plate special ships in."

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Hmm she liked that idea, if it was that strong they wouldn't be able to mass produce it or make something that the others might try and learn the secrets of. Sia could see Tysk was proud of it and as the cerberus was standing there like a large stripped droid the plates of armor were being applied to it. Tested, fit and shaped where it was needed until the metal droid gleamed and practically vibrated with energy itself that she could feel in her teeth. Wanting to go with the others she could see Tysk was bringing in more of the droids, more of the plates and they were setting up all of them to provide the best thing ever of all time possible to the mandalorians who were working on things.... They might have a cerberus squad.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia was seeing it and the time for all fo them seemed to pass quicker and quicker, they were all excited and vibrating with that excitement to work on the equipment here. The sounds of the tools and the droids when they were being worked on by the teams to improve them. They might not be able to develop a large scale operation of these droids but if they did it correctly they could have a superior battle droid to some fo the other ones they were having to function and work with. Sia saw Tysk talking to some of the others as they had managed to finish the food and she climbed up working on the hand holds that were for them to mount on and move around with the repulsors.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia could see with the others as the cerberus were moving, their strength and their massive size seemed to be taking a moment when they wanted to work it out. Touching the new metal that was there gave her a feeling of excitement at the idea of fighting through everything they wanted to do. "Alright, all of you make sure you are secured and ready to go, the practice course we have established is made for the pilot with you and the all of you have targets to go after with your weapons. The higher the score the better we will reward you and see what you can get for the next assignments and tests." Sia was not against it and she was on the cerberus wardroid that tysk herself was piloting.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

Sia could see her working the yoke of the controls when they were moving through the cave her own focus now with the rifle when she was taking aim with the caster and looking over with all of the things. She took aim while the tracker and target finder were registering the markers they were supposed to hit as the cerberus moved with more improved upon speed. A lot of its construction efforts and a lot of what it could do with the repulsor until she fired squeezing that trigger and the hit registered for it. The others were going after their targets as well until the initiate moved into the droid when it banked in the tunnel seeing some other area's where they had veins of beskar to get.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

She could see more of it with Tysk bringing them all around through the tunnels with a nod of her own head. "Keep it up, you are proving invaluable to the work that we have been getting done." She stuck it out and banked before they were turning around and reversing when she switched the weapons in the nose over to ion cannons to strafe the target droids with a look at the others. They were letting the rifles switch over while. "Rack up the points now all of you.": The ones on the sides were moving with it and giving them plenty of area to present a better target for them to go as she heard the rounds firing off and gripped tightly so she could fire with one hand on the lightweight fire and felt the recoil.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

The rifle was skilled as she felt it smack against her armor with a look on her face though of excitement. She could feel all of it before she was going over with the rest of them. They were strafing the targets when she could see a counter ranking the hits and the droids were looking at some of the other things. The droids were flying around them and taking information about what was happening as she rolled over to see Tysk at the controls when they finished with it. Pouring over things until they continued through the tunnels and came out in a final area when they broke out of the surface to fire on targets in the open area of the larger fields above the mines.

 

[Tysk Willamina]

The war droid came out of the mines hole and hovered for a moment as Sia adjusted her grip and saw the others, they were moving quickly as Tysk piloted it with better controls now that she could really see it. The built in shield generators thankfully keeping things from being a problem for them before she was going in a small circle through some holographic loops to mark a course that they were prepared to really run and give some more sights and statistics to the controllers. Sia could see as they were finishing and the massive war droid touched down on the ground with the others that they had armored while being prepared for some of the impressive things. "Well done ladies, we shall work on a number of things still but you have given us a lot of ore to continue these droids and get as many as we can." Sia was proud of herself as she dropped down with a nod of her head that she was ready with it. "Thank you clan mother."
