She had finally arrived. Upon entering the system, Tigris transmitted the required code to move through the advanced security and shielding of the Breakwater that protected the Atrisi System. She guided the heavy interceptor towards the main Atrisian homeworld. The homeworld of her mother and father.

Tigris had struggled with identity ever since she was thawed. She knew nothing more than her Seyugi cult life, the cult that no longer existed. She clung to that in loneliness, until she became a Jedi. Having given herself to the Light, she shirked her assassin background, and with it the world where she was raised... Recopia. But that still left her lacking. Yes, the Jedi were her people now. And her heart had learned love from Everest Vale . But she had no roots, until she turned to the memory of her parents, wh had immigrated to Recopia from Atrisia over 900 years earlier.

The inked padawan had begun to study the homeworld of her parents. She immersed herself in the entertainment recently released out of Atrisia that gave her a flavor not only of it's history, but its culture and beauty. She also conducted more scholarly research on Atrisia. Soon, the semblence of a heritage began to form, a people Tigris could point to and say, "they are my roots". But holos could only go so far in revealing Atrisia to her. Tigris wanted to see it, experience it. She received permission to visit the Atrisi System, with Everest's encouragement. The Echani was not too put off when Tigris told her girlfriend the visit was something she had to do alone.

And Tigris, always bold, sent a comm message to no less than the Princess herself, Master Junko Ike. If there was anyone who was the epitome of Atrisia, outside of the Emperor and Empress, it was Master Junko. Who better to show Tigris everything she needed to know about being Atrisian?

Having been guided to a landing platform, Tigris set the big starfighter down and cycled it down. She was told that she would be met by someone when she landed. The tattoooed padawan quickly shed her flight clothing and donned her jedi robes and clipped her lightsaber to her sash. Then she opened the gangway and descended to the landing platform, already marveling at the beauty and cleanliness of the space port, and the advanced technology she saw before landing.

The walkways leading arounf the city were a good indication as she walked through them wearing the simple Princess kimono she had. White with silver, blue and gold trim and a triple hollycock leaf pattern on it. The train of the kimono ever shifting as it can look more like wisps of mist and bends of light... expanding aand contracting with each movement on the polished stone. It giving a reflective sheen as the city of Jar'kai was three sections... the main city, the inner city and the citadel areas of the city. The massive mountain its inner and citadel cities were built into connected with a massive bridge to the main city.

Her neck and face covered in the Solari Shiroi make up the jedi had designed for her. With the white of it gleaming as small blue highlights were underneath for a more ethereal glow. Darkened eyes like pools of rich dark honey and her hair pulled back over her shoulders in a curtain down to her ankles. SMall beads of kyber shaped into small bells that jingled as she walked with her Hair Piece making the look of bangs. Her hands in front of herself as the sash of her belt held her lightsaber the White Lotus. The gleaming of the white carapace from a gaping spider queen. THe curve of the hilt showing the design made for dueling and on the opposite side a pouch secured on the outside.

She had her normal equipment and there was more to the robes then many others could see or even notice... but it was meant to inspire a look of regal beauty. SInce she had never joined the ranks of the new jedi order... they barely ever set foot on Atrisia or seemed to care about them. THeir own senator whom had mostly vanished hadn't even come to the planet staying on COruscant all of the time. The Wukong were growing and like the green jedi of Corellia they were homegrown and protected Atrisia so all she needed to do was make sure they were safe. A visitor who went through the means to contact her directly was interesting.

Her walking on the paths and among the people got a few glances... the spectacle of Atrisian nobles could be something while she had her jade robed Otachi around her. Their faces concealed under the hoods. Equal in size and shape to her as they were trained to body double similar to the handmaidens of Naboo whom they were trained and inspired from. THeir Sabers on their hips as well giving the look of a jedi entourage to the princess. She had brought Xīfāng as the large Atrisian tiger in the streets of the city got some looks but the people were used to it. The tiger was also alwsays a good boy and towered over the others walking slowly with his tail swishing back and forth.

Junko was able to look at a lot more.. she observed much more then she let on as her senses in the force came out and searched through the city.. there were greater signs of the people. The technological endeavors had gone a long way. Fabrication and duplication technologies aallowing them to have food production facilities in each building... the shimmer of nanite dust clouds that cleaned the air and waters to make it all safe aand drinkable and most important was the commerce as everyone had wares to sell and trade with each other and they could sell to governmental buildings for a large sum. Crates from there being stared and sent out where needed either as aid or large scale sales outside the breakwater.

She approached the starport... a haandful of ships designated for transport over venturing in. The anshin working as a floodgate as it held most visitors vessels and they were able to use the hypergates or transports to get back. There was more as the biots and service droids milled about... advanced AI's designed to assist and work with as Atrisians were showing what to do and the AI assisted them. Physically the people showing a large scale healthy improvement thanks to their medical improvements as well as the Commonwealths doctrine... everyone served a handful of years and physical health was maintained as well as encouraged.

"Welcome to Atrisia." She said it with a smile on her face arriving and looking at the jedi who had arrived. Her stance shifting to stand in a mixture of casual but also not losing any of its stance or stature.

Tigris made her way to an area where she was to be received. She had yet to see the city itself, and the padawan was already awestruck by the advanced technology and cleanliness of the spaceport. And it wasn't only the technology that was notable. The people seemed content, unworried. It seemed everything she had read about Atrisia was true, but moreso than she could have imagined.

There was a bit of a bustle as she heard people speaking in an quiet, excited tone. Those few in the spaceport made way for an approaching group. It was clear that someone of great importance was arriving. Then she saw her.

Surrounded by her elegant entourage, the Princess herself walked towards her. The woman was exquisite. Her mystical robes made her seem almost ethereal, her features adorned with beautiful cosmetics which enhanced Master Ike's gorgeous features. The woman was breathtaking and so regal she was almost unreal. Tigris suddenly realized how mundane and ordinary her robes were. She should have worn her formal robes, but she had no idea the Princess herself would greet her!

The group stopped gracefully before Tigris. The Princess greeted her with a warm, beautiful smile. Tigris bowed. "Princess, I am deeply honored that you have allowed me an audience with you." The tattooed padawan answered. "Already, Atrisia is more amazing than I could have imagined." She added.

She stayed there for a moment as the woman bowed and offered a smile when she remained there for the moment. "We try." She said it as more a joke to lighten the mood with a nod of her head.. there was a lot happening and the port showed it as a few number of the vessels were there. Her hands coming out as she moved in greeting. "It is always good to see one of the families who left come back home." As she was speaking her handmaidens remained there and the large tiger stretched out.. finding a lazy position as she looked aat him. "Well exciting for some of us... Xifang can be quite hard to impress but he is one of the most loyal creatures on the planet."

She said it while motioning with a hand. "I hope the trip here was not too terrible, with the construction of the breakwater we have been able to properly saturate Commonwealth space to layer defenses and shaper our ship lanes within. Altering them to throw off any attackers who make it thrhough with mines and interdiction to limit their access. Our vessels have also been revamped and upgraded for a more staandard look to the fleet so that we can bring them around the space." She said it while walking and many more of the people were in the streets. SOme bowing and others walking but they continued. The handmaidens were moving and their hoods being up obscured their faces.

Junko walked as the streets went around and she spoke aas the walkways went into larger roads. "We developed smart roads that use AI assistance to prevent accidents and it can lock attackers up for some time. Allowing the defensive measures to arrive. With most citizens of the Commonwealth being traained in military service we have developed armories for weapons and equipment that can be within each district. It will allow for quicker defensive means, our vehicle restrictions aid but do not eliminate the pollution to the world but we have been cleaning it up and it allows less congestion in movement of the airships."

The walk went from the road across into one of the parks as fruit trees grew that she waas able to take one for the moment. Taking the peel from it as she popped a small piece in her mouth and offered some. "I know that your message said you wanted to learn about your family and connect... whattever information you haave our archievist can look up. She has been restoring much of our records and recording all new ones."

In spite of the elegant and regal appearance of the Princess, she addressed Tigris in a friendly casual manner. The padawan's eyes shifted to the large leisurely striped predator at the Princess's side. Tigris thought it a fitting companion for the woman who wielded so much power. And all of it was put to the work of protecting and providing for her people. It made Tigris proud to have Atrisian blood.

"No trouble at all, their was plenty of help navigating the area, it is very well organized." Tigris replied. following the Princess as she turned to depart, her entourage following, allowing Tigris to move next to Master Ike, opposite the tiger. The padawan continued to marvel at the city, noting the streets as the Princess lauded their technology. But most impressive was security. From the defenses in space to planetside, to the training of the population and the establishment of local armories, spoke of a people who would not allow the the events of the past, and the invasion of Atrisia, to ever succeed again.

The group moved into a small park of fruit trees. Tigris watched in admiration as the Princess plucked a fruit and peeled it, offering Tigris some as if they were just two friends walking through a grove. The tattooed woman plucked a piece of the fruit from the Princess' palm with a quiet "Thank you." The fruit was bright in flavor and refreshing.

Then the Princess addressed the nature of Tigris' formal visit. It was not as a representative of the NJO, or the Alliance. It was personal, and yet, the Princess still welcomed her. "Yes. I was actually born in this system, though I am not sure which planet. My parents left when I was a baby to Recopia. I know nothing about their history other than their names. I was still very young when the Seyugi abducted me." Tigris offered in a humble confession of her purposes.

"I am not Recopian." She state flatly, denying the planet upon which she had lived a large part of her life. It was the place where her childhood was stolen and she was made into something wicked. "I am Atrisian." She said boldly. "At least, I would like to think I am." Tigris confessed, not wanting to offend the Princess and the others there, who were born and raised in the system, while Tigris only lived there for a few months of her infant life.

"I see." She said it and remained there for the moment looking at the woman and mentally it wasn't up for debate... but the small tug of a smile was there on her lipss... controlled with her facial expressions but she wanted it to be there more and more. Still she listened and waited until she was done not offering comments one way or the other. "Well that is certainly something, we do not turn away those who left. We have been welcoming back many though the reaal question will be from what region are your family located. The terraforming the system and Commonwealth space has been recent so majority of the worlds would be within the last twenty years. We have had some colonies however like Eisei and Sakura."

She said it and offered a smile finally. "It is not a great test... though bloodwork to see which region your family came from should be done... you might still have family on the planet if even distantly. There might be a family home or any number of different chances you could have. With all of the works we have done the older family palaces and fortresses have gotten a new sort of life... some of them being restored and improved upon so whhole families can live within them. The defensive walls and shield projectors allowing cities, villages and towns to have secluded farmlands as well as industry have brought back a number of the older means with a new outlook."

She said it and took another piece of the fruit while standing there. "As to your past well... it doesn't matter unless it brings problems for the Commonwealth and even then unless you are a genocidal killer highly unlikely the emperor would not allow you to remain. Likely he would welcome you home in a small letter."

Tigris could see the hint of a smile on the Princess' beautiful face. She hoped the regent was pleased with her request to reconnect with her Atrisian roots. She had already stopped calling herself Recopian, referring to herself as Atrisian. It made her feel like she belonged to a rich cultural background. The Princess assured her guest that any diaspora Atrisians were welcome back. Tigris also pondered the Atrisian noble jedi's comments. She had not shared with her host the nature of her history, that her family would have left Atrisia almost a millennium ago. Also, that she was a trained Seyugy assassin in her past. Hopefully those things would not hinder her attempt to connect again with the world of her parents.

"Your Highness..." she began humbly. "My parents left this system over 900 years ago." she began, glancing furtively at the Princess's escorts. "I was frozen in carbonite, and was only freed a couple years ago." She explained. "And my past, well, is in the past. I am a Jedi now." Tigris added, hoping that would satisfy the Princess. "But I have no people... you can understand, with such a rich culture and strong people as you do, how important it is to have roots." She added, boldly.

"Nine hundred years... hmmm." She tapped her chin and kept the smile on her face. "Still not that baad, some of my family left for tython near thirty thousand years ago for the je'daii. That line of the family as it were was gone sure but they had brothers, sisters, grandparents." She said it and listed it with her fingers coming up more as a list of possibilities. "One never knows where they might find connections and roots and here on Atrisia many of the families have clans that have grown to be so large they could misplace a cousin or three for a few centuries." She moved a little to keep walking though as the news she was a jedi now.

"As to being a jedi well it is good, the Wukong are many Atrisian jedi who have come home and their leader Fang Min has been around for quite awhile." She was being modest... Fang Min was of an age no one was actually sure of. Junko offered a smile that was wide though. "Just imagine if your faamilies old home or village is still around... there are roots and then there are some places here on Atrisia few others get to see... mountains filled with thousands of different gemstones that glitter in the light. Underground oceans filled with massive islands and cities. Underground cities and worlds that few can see and continents filled with so many dense jungles, lost creatures and dangers it is still unexplored."

The Princess didn't flinch at the mention of Tigris' centuries long history, but she knew she was not the only one. Jedi Masters Caltin Vanagor and Jonyna Si were both born and lived nearly a millennia ago as well. There was a comfort in knowing her host wasn't put off by the fact, instead, offering encouragement that making family connections on Atrisia was still possible in spite of the passage of so much time.

The regal jedi master continued to move, and Tigris and the entourage with her. Tigris had not mentioned she was a jedi when she had originally reached out to Atrisia. She was unsure if the fact that she was of the New Jedi Order would make it difficult, given the Atrisian jedi princess' distance from the Coruscant based order. Tigris was grateful that Master Ike received her happily, as an NJO padawan. After all, she was there, not on Order business, but her own personal quest.

The revelation that Atrisia had its own jedi order piqued Tigris' interest. "Would I be able to meet with them, the Wukong?" She asked, no longer shy about making requests, with the generosity the Princess had already displayed. With the offering of the resource of official records and hearing how many long standing towns, villages and locations were still around birthed hope and excitementin the tattooed padawan.

The way the Princess described Astrisia made it seem like a magical place, and Tigris hoped to learn, and see, more of it. "Tell me about the Emperor and Empress, what are they like?" Tigris asked, her curiosity about everything Atrisian make her feel, perhaps, more friendly with the Princess than she should have been.

She thought about that and how to describe them. "Well the Emperor Tamakatsura Ryozen is called by many the emperor of the golden flowers. After the war when he routed many of the enemy forces along a hillside he planted a flower for each soul lost in the war for either side. He looks dangerous and often scary to most but he is one of the warmest to be around and will always listen to the troubles of his people." She said it and her hands were moving as she was using the white current to alter and make an illusion of the emperor as he stood there tall and bronze skin from the sun. Hair pulled back and sleeveless robes as he fought with a sword and his arms and chest were covered in scars but Junko looked at it and pointed with her finger.

"Each scar is a life he has taken a memory of a face. He doesn't take life lightly and doesn't want to have them all blend together." A small shrug as she knew the sentiment but had also fought against the sith and some worse foes. "THen you have Empress Akikonomu Utsukushi-Sa." Her illusion shifted and showed the woman. Pale ivory skin in icy blue clothing. Dancing on her palm. "She was a handmaiden at one point and a dancer to a troupe that traveled around the opulent core worlds before she returned. Then she was engaged to the emperor but fell in love with his advisor and friend. To save face they were exiled to the border before the war."

THe dancer moved and the woman was still there with the emperor holding another. "It is considered one of the biggest moments in the war when the emperor sacrificed himself to save the children of the woman who had betrayed him with his best friend but they all cared and it has never been a secret that she only chose with the emperor to ascend to honor the sacrifice of their friend and see his vision of aiding the people and bettering the lives of them all come to be." A smile was on her face. "She is called the empress of rice wine for the festivals she holds. Everyone from around Atrisia brings their finest and their credits to fund the charities."

She shifted it and showed another who was obscured. "Those are the two of Atrisia and the Commonwealth but there aare two others. The emperor of the Horselords... a being so old he transfers bodies or she... no one is certain and reports of when the reclusive horselords leave their valley are mixed. They want to be isolated in their lands and we do not interfere.. they fight and offer trade as needed." A smile wa son her face more as it shifted and the image showed a giant. "Dòu-Zhànshèng-Fó Masamune the empress of the Chi-Oni. THe people of the world below.. the first borne Atrisians and descended from our most ancient ancestors."

She said it and the giant of a woman was standing in bracelets, anklets with golden chains that connected to her toes and fingers. A golden wrapped around girdle that held up silks at her waist while a choker of rubies had more chains that went down and framed her curves rather then concealed them. Her pale skin and black hair as she towered over many of the others and lounged on a couch with servants moving around offering wine and fruits. "The Chi-Oni are some of the few who legit have slaves on Atrisia but they have stopped their deceptions. They used to take the names of gods and demand sacrifices be left with them... those ones would be taken down into the planet and made to serve... now we are supplying them with more life like droids."

Tigris watched in awe as the Princess formed the images of the Atrisian royalty, describing each. Of course, the padawan had learned about the Atrisian emperor and empress from her studies. But Master Ike offered much more personal insight into each of them. The rulers of the Horselords and the Chi-Oni were remarkable as well.

"They are beautiful and amazing." Tigris responded, the admiration in her eyes a she lifted them again to the Princess. She was one of them, a royal as well, and equally remarkable. And, Tigris was learning, much more accessible to a commoner like her.

"This place is almost overwhelming." Tigris commented as he looked around, taken aback with the thought that she might, in some small way, have a connection to it all. But she also didn't want to take advantage of the time the Princess was giving her. "Where should I begin a search for any family roots I may have here?" Actually, she needed to find a place to stay. Her small ship was so crowded. But once she found a room, she would begin her search.

 

[Junko Ike]

Tigris

"It can be a little overwhelming, I suppose." She said it with a grin though as she debated it mentally and there was a lot of information. "Wait until you see some of the other stuff... most palaces have a long history and we have thousands of them. Most families have done a few things but most can tie themselves back to when there were thousands of smaller kingdoms that were in the unification wars." She said it with a laugh though when she was there and looked around. "This city is a good example as it has been around a long time but only in the last hundred years or so has changed... first after being attacked and used for a sith ritual and then a jedi sacrificed herself to enclose it within a wall of light and destroy the nexus that was corrupting it."

She said it and indicated the city around them. "Though we have also improved a great deal since then. The three walls surrounding the city spread outwards encompassing local farms and villages. With each wall having defensive droids, towers and the means to protect much better then before. While the furthest wall stretches out and wraps around. The city though has a building for tracing families. We try to mostly use it for historical records and as a database it helps if there is situations where identification requires bloodwork cause the damage is too much." She said it and it could be dangerous but it was also helpful which aided them as Junko remained for a moment.

Tigris could see that the Princess was proud of what Atrisia had become, especially after the Sith occupation. The world, and the system, were stellar examples of revival and restoring roots while moving into the future. From her research, Tigris knew that much of that progress was a direct result of the Princess' work. She was truly blessed to have an audience with the lovely noblewoman.

The Princess' words and descriptions only made Tigris more excited and hopeful to find her roots. When she heard there was a ministry of records that could help in her endeavor, the tattooed Atrisian was encouraged. She was not deterred by the fact that she might have to use her own blood to help find her past on the planet.

"Thank you, your Highness, for sharing with me. I know your time is precious. This place is miraculous! I am excited to learn more and to see where my heritage lies here. I will visit that building so that I can begin my search." She said with gratitude. As her gaze shifted from the beautiful princess to the city around them, Tigris knew she would have to bring Everest Vale to Atrisia to show her how amazing it was. But first, Tigris wanted to see if she could find any hint of her family.

"I don't want to take anymore of your time." Tigris offered with a small bow. She thoroughly enjoyed the company of the Princess, and would linger with her all day, but did not want to wear out her welcome.

"Worry not, my time is spent mostly walking around and observing what is being worked on... which while important is.... boring. I love some things but there are only so many shops opening or new gardens. Last week, there were twenty four water gardens being opened that had been built to harvest fruit year round." She said it but looked at her... she didn't treat it like a bad thing but she had a want for excitement. She was taking a moment as she looked and the approaching Atrisian was there with one of her handmaidens coming in. "Lady Ahri." She said it offering a smile and bow of her head. "And Lady Iwata." The handmaiden bowing in her jade robes.

Miyoung stood there in her jade robes as they covered her and were emblazoned with the triple hollycock design of Junko's palace and the royal family. Her skin like dark honey as she had small glasses over her bright brown gold eyes. Hair pulled back in a design that was closer to the princesses and she clasped her hands in front of herself as she bowed to her knees with a smile on her face. "Princess." She remained there and waited a moment looking up as Junko raised her with a hand. "Rise, you are one of the brightest minds on Atrisia and a friend. No need to be so formal." She got a smile from that and Miyoung rose up looking at Tigris with a small smile. "Apologies we wanted to make you look more regal and stern then you really are."

She said it and looked at Ahri who stood there as her shorter hair was around her shoulders with braided silk threads covered in gemstones. A necklace with hundreds of tiny interlinking clasps forming threaded chains. Going over her figure to a girdle of silk and gemstones. The tiny chains shifting to reveal the skin underneath it. Armlets mirroring the same as they form sleeves down to her forearms but everything shifts making her outfit be both covering and almost see-through with each step. Her feet bare in the grass as anklets went down to toe rings with small chains and small repulsors made little pockets around to protect her feet.

"And this is Lady Ahri, the two of them are involved in the research and development of special projects."

The Princess explained how her days were often more mundane than one would thing for such an elegant royal. But again, she was a leader among her people, and so, she must be among her people. But twenty four water garden openings in one week? It must have been exhausting. In any case, Tigris was pleased that her company was not wearing on the Princess and, in fact, seemed to be appreciated. Tigris hoped she provided a break from the Princess' routine.

The conversion paused as two women approached. They were a beautiful and finely adorned as the Princess, to a lesser extent, of course. The offered reverence to Master Ike, which the Princess kindly dismissed. The two women were introduced. Tigris was surprised to learn they were not simply lovely courtiers, but accomplished professionals, some of Atrisia's elite.

"Lady Ahri, Lady Iwata..." Tigris offered a slight bow, "... it is a pleasure to meet you. I can only imagine what things you are working on." Tigris remained atypically amazed at Atrisia, and the two women must certainly have been part of what she had seen that day.

Tigris' highest hope had been to have the briefest audience with the Princess herself. To her inner delight, she was enjoying the company of the Princess, and meeting two of the women at the top of the system's R & D efforts.

Junko snickered a little at that as she motioned for Miyoung to... well not do what she did. The handmaiden looking excited someone wanted to hear what she was doing. "If you ask she can speak for hours... days even." Ahri said it while standing there and she laughed at the frown Miyoung was giving. Her arm coming out and burying the girl in her cleavage a little. "Oh it is okay, I'll make it up to you later." She said it and Junko laughed at that as she looked at the two of them. "I don't know what to do with you or any of the others. Barca may be worse but... no I am sure you are corrrupting my handmaidens Ahri." She was more casual and the archaeologist smiled.

"Maybe a little.... or a lot depending on how you define corruption." She laughed but looking at Tigris spoke. "But there is plenty you should see here. We just uncovered a temple dedicated to Jeidushi in the southern forests ruins. Very old, very exciting, Very naked statues." Junko looked at her. "The goddess of love and fertility." She said it to quickly explain. "Though that far over the mountains is surprising. Maybe a wayward traveler." She said it though while thinking about it. "There could be more but likely the temple has wild amber lotus." That got a nod of her head. "Yes we found it... smaller and the vines are overgrowing on it so it was concealed but no less potent."

Junko gave a nod of her head. "It is a plant that grows, the sweet scent invokes ardeur and if enough in concentrated in the body can make one unconscious." She was looking over it aand didn't need to move as Miyoung was practically vibrating next to her and spoke looked at her sympathetically. "Okay, Miyoung." She tapped her arm and the woman looked at her. "The tower of the blade finale premiered, Tripitaka and Kwon ran away together and got married before making climatic force love." She said it quickly.. in a single breathe and Junko looked at her waiting for a moment. "That is one of the..." She looked at Ahri as it was a small nod confirming the Atrisian Entertainment Guides show.

"Yes and it is awesome."

The relaxed atmosphere with the Princess and her handmaidens still held a sort of reverence. One couldn't ignore the fact that the Princess, was, well, the princess. She was a beautiful symbol of her people. But a casual playfulness came over the Atrisian women, after the Princess admonished them not to greet her so formally.

There was a bawdy familiarity among them all that made Tigris seem a bit of an outsider peeking in. But when one of them started describing the latest temple find, the tattooed padawan was intrigued. A measure of sensuality seemed to creep into the conversation, and Tigris immediately thought of Everest Vale . Tigris definitely had to bring her Echani to Atrisia. She had some mischievous thoughts about wild amber lotus and Eve's tea. "I would love to see a dig like that sometime." Tigris admitted.

Like a group of close friends, the women and the Princess talked about the latest episode of the Atrisian drama they watched. Tigris grinned, unashamed. She had been able to secure a puck of Amberlight and had secretly started watching it with Everest. "I enjoy the entertainment guides." She commented with a crooked smile. "I find them very...entertaining." She dared to speak with the same casual tone as the Princess and her entourage. "I'll have to find a way to get that show, it sounds intriguing."

Junko laughed at the reaction and gave a nod of her head. "The entertainment coming out has been a showing. We morale improves and quality of life goes up so to does the capabilities of the people to make other artwork and forms of entertainment." She said it and Miyoung was looking at her. "Yes, it has been awesome." Junko looked at Ahri and then at Miyoung and then back at Ahri. "Is that the one she offered to consult on?" She said it and the woman nodded. "Yes, they took her insights on how jedi interact with sith notes." Junko looked at Tigris who was a jedi and she was a jedi master. "Oh, I take it there was only good things?"

Miyoung sat there and gave a nod. "Of course, the relationship between the jedi knight and sith lord develops as a slow burn at first and then the climax comes when the sith ship is crashing into the jedi temple and they leap at each other embracing and using the combined force strength to survive the fall into the lower levels of Coruscant where they secret away to live together as the war continues and reaches its conclusion." She offered a nod and a smile as Junko shook her head. "I don't think that is how.." Miyoung looked at her. "It happens, you yourself told us how often it seemed jedi and sith got together and there were many padawans claiming their parents made them super powerful."

Junko laughed aat that and well she wasn't wrong.. she had seen several jedi who had fallen in love with sith men and women... and knew there had been at a time a lot of padawans saying how they were the result of a jedi and sith union so were able to walk the middle ground and be stronger then both. Like a hybrid bloodline. Junko kept her eyes on the girl and wanted to laugh more though. "Well I can't argue with what I have said to you and seen.. there is a lot more jedi who fall for sith and rarely is it the other way but you missed one of the other aspects." She waited as the girl was looking at her. "It is usually made to result in the jedi's corruption and not to redeem the darksider."

Tigris listened intently as the women chatted about the Atrisian dramas, including the interesting story of a Sith and Jedi in love. The tattooed padawan had only been a jedi for three years, and before that, an admitted Darksider. She had not heard much of such unlikely trysts between the sworn enemies.

But the Princess revealed that it was in fact something that had happened, and more often than one would have thought. It sounded almost like a warning to the younger padawan. Master Ike explained that it usually went against the Jedi, who would fall to the Dark Side. It made Tigris wonder if she was not immune to falling back to the Dark Side herself. She doubted it, though she was especially sensitive to the Bogan. But she had an anchor to the Light in Everest. The Force bond that had begun between them as well would help keep her strong against temptation.

"I had never heard that before." Tigris mused out loud. "I suppose love can be that strong." She herself was new to knowing love, and agreed it was a powerful thing. Tigris looked around at the Princess and other beautiful courtiers. She felt like a fish out of water surrounded by elegant women. It was their casual behavior that helped Tigris feel more at ease with the Atrisian elite.

"It can be... but the power of fanfiction and shipping can be stronger." Miyoung looked at her and gave a laugh to that. "It is fun to do... with fictional characters. The ones who try and do it with real people and then get obsessed are out there." She said it and Junko looked at her for a moment in disbelief but bowed her head. "Fair enough." Junko rose up though.. this had been nice and she motioned with a hand. "We can continue, the Lady needs a test to see if there might be some family still on the world after the centuries." She said it and Ahri gave a nod of her head. "Oh.. well, I am good with fossils. I'll draw the blood and we will be able to find things out."

She said it while rising up and Miyoung nodded. "Yes the registry is this way, we have been working on a few other projects now. With genealogical surveys of the people we are able to see further back and compare with some of our records. Trace families from some of the more interesting and dangerous or famous houses.... or in some cases disprove some of the claims that were used to have special status." She said it while she was leading the way and the jedi princess bowed for Tigres to come and join them as the walk from the park towards the building on the street was a nice one. The avenue opening into a round square as it was lined with statues and slabs of stone.

"A small memorial to many who were lost, there is not nearly enough space though." She said it while walking around and there were more people. The buildings showing different fronts as one was opened with a group of people sitting down. Several families who were being tested and Miyoung walked through with Ahri as the doors opened. Junko speaking. "Families coming for DNA and genetic testing. For sickness, possible ties to prevent risks. Also a good way to scan and make sure families are going to be around for a long time. We have worked to make sure we have some of the finest in health care for sickness and conditions."
