Hmm now this was a nice place to be somewhere they could work out the finer details as she looked over a few more things. The order she had made and what they could easily add to her budget was for a very expensive and amazing blush that used crystals... and that had gotten the jedi princess thinking about a few more things when she was thinking about new ideas. Here in one of the more modern and up to date research and development facilities they had built on Rhen Var it was an important thing. The solari crystals that grew here on the planet gave the jedi an advantage or a new thing that only they could use. She was going to work on more of the things that they had developed and the owner of the cosmetics company had been more then willing to come for a custom order while she set the meeting and all of the things that they would be able to talk and show things. She was wondering about some other things that might be able to be made. Traditional atrisian make up was hard to come by but the white face paint and coloring could be invaluable if she could develop them for lightsiders.

Alize stopped in front of the building and checked the address she had been sent once more, just to be sure before she entered the building with a bodyguard she had hired for the week as she searched for a suitable replacement. Her usual companion, Frederick had suffered a fatal malfunction that rendered him no better than a paperweight which had resulted in this troublesome situation, a personal tragedy which had left Alize crying for days. Fortunately for her, she was skilled with makeup and so, was able to cover any evidence of grief on her face, save her solemn expression.

Once inside the laboratory, Alize approached the laboratory's reception desk. "Hello," she greeted the receptionist with the warmest smile she was able to muster while still in mourning. She had grown more attached to the droid than she had expected. "I have a meeting with Miss [member="Junko Ike"], could you please inform her of my arrival? Thank you."

She could see on the one screen of the building and lab that the woman had arrived. THe biot droids they used to better interaction were there roaming around and prepared to work on many more things. "This way." The droid was basic, the normal programming needed and she was learning but she was also fairly simple looking as an atrisian woman when she rose up and was leading back into the labs where they could sit and discuss things. THey had been harvesting solari crystals here on the planet as well as some fo the adegan and kyber ones to have excess stock in case of another Ilum incident where the crystals are smashed by sith. So there was that and there was the wanting to develop some new things like the cubes to create better crystals. Junko perked up from where she was standing with a look on her face. "Welcome to Rhen Var Lady Rosenheim."

 

[Alize Rosenheim]

"This way," the receptionist said in response to Alize and led the two into the laboratory where the Epicanthix hybrid assumed her client, Miss Ike awaited her arrival.

"Welcome to Rhen Var, Lady Rosenheim," the young lady who appeared to be of Atrisian descent perked up from where she stood and greeted Alize.

"Thank you, you must be Miss Junko Ike, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Alize smiled in response and extended her hand to the woman. "Please correct me if I am addressing you with the wrong title, this is my first time on this planet so I am unaccustomed to its social structure."

"I am unknowledgeable in regards to these solari crystals that you have requested in your order, do you mind explaining to me what they are? I assume you grow or harvest them in this fine laboratory of yours? I apologise for my ignorance."

She looked at the woman with a smile on her face welcoming the woman. They had a lab here and the golden yellow crystal was there where they had harvested it. Developing a number of ways to harvest the crystals here. "Junko is fine, we are not on Shri-Tal so no need to be formal." She said it while walking over towards the screen and tapping it when the display of the crystal came from a hologram projector. "THe solari crystal is something that grows here on the world, it resonates with the lightside of the force and allows a jedi when they are using it to feel the lightside of the force." She wanted to see about force infusing the crystals and then getting it into the make up products. "The ability to force enhance the crystals and apply it to your make up products is tempting as I enjoy the finer things in the galaxy."

 

[Alize Rosenheim]

"Since there is no need to be formal, you make call me Alize, Lady Rosenheim sounds like my late grandmother," Alize replied, tilted her head and furrowed her brows in thought.

“This is my first time incorporating crystals into my products so I worry I might not have the proper equipment to grind the product into a fine powder so that it won’t be abrasive against skin when applied. Do you have a piece of machinery in this laboratory that may be able to perform this task? Furthermore, aside from the addition of the Solari crystals, do you have any other special requests for this blush? For example, we can replace the rose petals with cherry blossom and fragrance the blush with a sakura matcha scent. The flower petals and scent of the blush is fully customisable."

Looking at her as her brow bunched up together with a nod of her head but she was thinking about it as one of the things with a grin on her face while she smiled. "We do have the machinery to create a very fine powder. We use it with the crystals we infuse into fertilizer to grow plants food larger. So we can offer the use of our presses once the crystals are there." They could press the crystals down once they were infused into he finest powder int he galaxy possibly and make what they needed. Junko was very much liking all of it when she showed the machine in the corner that was compressing shards into small crystals they could keep around. The shards and pieces that were left over from cutting the gems that they were able to use, the dust being collected in small trays that could be pressedd into even smaller and finer powder with a nod of her head. "We also have a number of other pieces of equipment for this production and to help. Access to different crystals as well."

 

[Alize Rosenheim]

Alize watched with a look of interest as the machine in the corner compressed the shards. It was quite different from the machine she was accustomed to in her cosmetic laboratories.

"Have all the crystals and equipment been sterilised prior to production? I hope I cause no offence with my question as I am not questioning the cleanliness of your laboratories which I have no doubt is above board, but I would just like a confirmation so I know how to proceed. Sterilising powdered crystals is quite the chore and a time-consuming process due to the amount of steps it involves." Alize smiled as she retrieved a small DataPad from her purse and noted down the key points of their conversation.

“Oh, and before I forget, how long will it take to prepare the powdered crystals? I want to start production on them as soon as possible to ensure that you receive your order promptly.”

Hmm they didn't really make the crystals completely sterile as putting something in a saber wasn't going to cause infection but as she thought about it there was a nod of her head. "We don't normally clean and make it sterile for the work that we want to do with you but we will be able to clean it here. We have some of the finest things for it to ensure your works for production can happen." Junko said it while smiling to give a very nice area when she finished. "We have a number of things though." Looking it over as she walked over to one of the tables displaying it with one of the atrisian girls. "This is the other part we have been working on, the make up for a traditional atrisian style make up for it. There are several components that go into it from the eyeliner to the lipstick, wax for the hair and the powder to make their faces and neck white."

 

[Alize Rosenheim]

"Thank you, that would be perfect," Alize replied with a smile. "It would be much easier to sterilise the stones in the factory before they are turned to powder which would save us a lot of trouble and ensure you get your product much quicker."

A look of excitement washed over Alize’s face at the mention of cosmetics. Cosmetics was not only her job, it was also her hobby. "How charming," she smiled delightfully as she admired the display. "How soon do you think the powdered crystals can be prepared? If it is a time-consuming process, I can give you my Quaint Gardens Beauty's PO Box for you to ship them to. My company is in the process of establishing its headquarters on [SIZE=10.5pt]Tygara[/SIZE] so I am rather busy at the moment as a result, I can’t stay overnight and have to return as soon as possible.”

"It shouldn't take that long, the technology we have developed for cleaning and making sure everything is good for you here right now." THey had the work, they had the stuff here while she was setting it up prepared to work on more. She offered a small area she could sit and enjoy a drink while they were working. "We have been working on a better idea for some of the things, we will be able to get things rolling for you. They just need to finish it up and allow most of our cases to be handled and set up for you. The force infusion of the crystals shall be a the only part that needs to be careful, we've experimented with micro crystals slivers that were infused for other products and gotten it to e successful for working so this should be more then easy and simple enough." Junko waited there while some tea was brought out to her and she breathed in and then released a small breath to cool it down while the techs were cleaning and making sure all of the crystals was sterile for use and ground down after being treated by the infusions from the artisan's.

 

[Alize Rosenheim]

"Excellent," Alize smiled and followed Junko to a small area of the laboratory where refreshments would be served to the pair while the technicians were at work creating the crystal powder that was required for the custom blush. Carefully, Alize took a seat so as to prevent creasing the skirt of her dress and smiled at Junko. Quietly, Alize nodded as she listened to her client's words.

"Yes, obtaining the powdered crystals is indeed the most difficult part of the process for my company as that is something we have neither the knowledge or the equipment to do so,” Alize said as a fragrant tea was served to the pair. “Thank you,” she nodded at the member of staff as she placed a cup in front of her.

Gently, Alize picked up the tea cup and brought it to her lips and took a sip. “Is this an Atrisian tea?” she asked, curious about the brew.

"Yes it is." The teas were good and retrieving crystals was what they did with all of their mining equipment and locations. Having dedicated force hunters and trackers who are able to located and feel out force crystals across the planets. They worked to ensure all of it with a nod of her head. "Finding crystals is something that Sasori does very well, a number of equipment we have been developing to mine crystals and other materials have given us some of the wider variety across the galaxy." Junko took another sip of the tea when they were continuing it and making sure it was finished up properly for Alize to take and work her magic on. "These are for you, should be enough hopefully for a a few to start and test."

 

[Alize Rosenheim]

"That's amazing," Alize remarked as she took another sip of her tea. "I hear Sasori is owned by your family, it's quite an amazing company from what I've heard. You must be very proud of it as it is able to do so much such as refining crystals and the like.”

Alize waited patiently in the room in the company of Junko Ike, drinking the fragrant [SIZE=10.5pt]Atrisian[/SIZE] tea that she had been so kindly offered.

"These are for you, should be enough hopefully for a few to start and test." Junko said once the crystals had been sterilised and powdered.

“This should be plenty,” Alize smiled as she received the crystals. “I shall be taking my leave now to ensure that production on your order begins as soon as possible, goodbye Junko,” she said bidding Junko farewell, and saw herself out.

Junko bowed her head and stood up to escort her out, there was plenty for her to do as well when she was prepared for it and she was ready for the real fun with it as well. "Very well, travel safe." Junko stood there looking around the lab after she left and she was walking to go and meet with the other scientists who had been presenting her with a whole lot of new things. They had developed a refined process here and could start working on expanding and increasing the production of crystals using the shards. "Alright we have something nice coming for me, lets see if we can get those crystals into a higher level of refinement that will allow for more of the crystals that we have to work on." This could be a good base and Sasori's crystals were an important part of what they did.
