Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

JUnko was looking at more of it and she could see the surreal architecture of the city they were building from the sleek lines... large scale vistas and what they have been working on. She could see the transparent covering for the streets and temples... the silvery water was streaming and moving under it as an ascetic choice that moved through the cities. They had found something interesting on Atrisia II with the waters... the silvery water had more properties to it but they were not negative... they were beneficial but they were all over... seeped into the waters and ground itself to the point whatever had happened there had to have been planet wide.

"What about here... Atrisia II, the waters are being used and directed from the underwater springs to be displayed across the city but it is a safe process correct? There haven't been much long term testing but last I saw the waters mutagenic properties were still beneficial." Junko said it with a look on her face. The ones who were here looked at her and spoke. "We have not found many side effects, the water can increase healing of the bodies and we have theories it might prolonge life when used.... not to make one immortal but the waters themselves present a sort of cleansing of the body. The heavier elements are almost pure vitamins and minerals that give it the strange sheen and we have discovered pools where it is concentrated."

 

[Junko Ike]

SHe could see more on Atrisia II, she could see some of the other works they were putting on it... with buildings that could house tens of thousands and this was across the planet. The silver seas were beautiful as they worked to make ports and scrubbers that would be able to handle the repulsors being used. They were setting up shipyards on the world for travel and with ones able to be on the ocean or in the air as well as sectional planetary shielding. "SHow me some of these pools." SHe said it and brought yup the hardlight display touching it and being able to hold the world as it were to look around it at the cities and where they were working.

The one woman held out a hand to get it and passing it over she tapped an area of the planet bringing up a larger and closer view for JUnko to see and the caverns they had discovered. "We dug down normally and found chambers... each one empty save these geothermal pools that had come up from the core of the planet." She tapped more and displayed one of the chambers that could fill the room with the pool in the middle. "We have tested the temperature and it is enough to be a hot springs and used as a pool one can use but we aren't doing much testing yet. Though the hospitals are being built over them if the healing properties are stronger we should be able test them.

 

[Junko Ike]

THe moons were in some ways much the same though they didn't have the waters... the one was oceans of now defrosting and melting ice capos.. with the atmosphere being formed and contained it warmed it up and allowed the heat to be retained.. this expanded to give it islands and they were making the artificial islands into connected areas of resorts as well as exporting the algae that they could create farms for. If there were creatures that might form or needs they could change it but the oceans would be something to test in the coming years... they had found ruins on some of the moons hinting towards something ancient and thanks to the Chi-Oni they knew there was something to do with Ancient Atrisians.

Some of the other moons would serve as cities, as workshop worlds with resource rich moons being mining plasnets and industrial woirlds... ther one becoming a massive factory that could be automated with droids that would be able to transfer and have a continued automated cargo system taking metals and supplies to the anshin that was around the world to produce ships and more supplies for the Commonwealth.. they were looking at the means to get molecular converters tro waste nothing that was mined which would let them get resources for centuries and centuries... renewable. The stronger plans and longer term plans though would be to once they had tapped the world instead of just moving on they would start and use it as a massive fortress world that was storage and endeavored to hold tens or triollions of credits worth of supplies for the people.

 

[Junko Ike]

She knew each of the worlds that they were working on... the moons of Atrisia I and Atrisia II at least two of the moons were considered unterraformable.. in ways or wouldn't yield a lot in the long run but what they lacked in ideal conditions they made up for in mineral resources that could be mined.. with a planet wide mining operation that would hollow out and industrialize the moons they would serve to produce and give tens of trillions or supplies and area to store excess supplies for trade and relief that is sent around the galaxy. Even acting with many of the security as private vaults that can be used to house for clients who want to store their private collections and have advanced security measures in place.

She could even see them using the many advanced storage technologies they had which shrunk it down or created a stable bridge to a pocket dimension.. with the proper droid support they would be able to turn what was substantially massive storage for supplies into a near limitless supply cache and if they did this throughout the commonwealth they would be able to have supply worlds to aid in planets and exploration as well as development for tens of thousands of years... improving the larger means that they would want to have going. She was able to see some of the manufacturing tech that was able to be installed on the worlds themselves.

 

[Junko Ike]

JUnko was able to see a lot more but she continued on and pried herself smiling but patting them on the shoulders. "Wonderful news and impressive... see to it that more is done... I shall go out and look at the next generation of talent that we have." A grin was on her face and it wasn't meant as bad as she put it but she was also not one to deny.... there was a whole lot of good talent in the Atrisian academies... she got a grin and a laugh from the Inosuke who was there. "OH yes you wil princess.. some of them are lookers and we all know how much you like sculpting the pretty girls... maybe some more famous nudes will be made."

THe princess laughed and well she had become predictable it seemed.. not one to turn it down she spoke... "Well we can't all have the best looks... some of us just have to hope all of the pretty ones come to use. " That got more laughs but they were also having the fun while JUnko went through the halls of the academy seeing the work the students were doing... as a means to show the newest generation of Atrisian students... these were young adults... over eighteen who had graduated and were being trained to become citizens and serve within the military specifically well the branches that would be serving her House and loyal to the royal family and her branch.

 

[Junko Ike]

They were also bringing some other things... the massive industry of Atrisia was for private ownership but with a guiding hand... they were motivating and encouraging where it was directed with the massive Atrisian Innovations umbrella. From it they basically had everything made that could be sold to the public of the Galaxy after Atrisia first... educational reforms, economic booms, housing and food surplus would serve. THeir medical and cloning technologies were being beefed up... their equipment made into some of the best in the galaxy with common clothing on par with armor and their armor able to withstand much more.

THey were just going to need something akin to a logo for all of the works that they were facing and getting from the people. THey were working on other properties that would be competitive with the galactic marketplace... they weren't going to fall behind just because they preferred isolation and being kept away from it. HIring the best and brightest minds to bring in a surge of new ideas and with some of the best engineers being allowed to play and test their own theories. This allowed them to use the chiss, zeltron, twi'lek and engineers of other species to innovate and hybridize their technology to keep it from becoming stagnant.

 

[Junko Ike]

They were bringing out many things for them.. with the improved designs of transportation systems across the planet and it would be across all of the worlds they were terraforming... the yuma was an impressive and fast tram system.. the gentoku was armored and designed to be used with aircars and roadsters that were clean and set up for them to be able to use. Their means of transportation assured they could also move onto more sustainable and self sustaining infrastructure like the living modules that allow the food production to becomes excessive... it allowed them to overproduce for now and the extra was being stored in cold storage modules.

She could see many of the numbers as the people were working on producing and the plan was doing better then many thought... the more exotic items could be grown and some did which in exchange for the goods it allowed them to make more or have better trade options.. some grew exotic fruits and traded for exotic spices on top of the normal things they were making... it kept everything flowing while a portion w,as kept for themselves and created the excessive and food to feed everyone. The variaty offered a whole lot more though as the markets were huge parts of what they had... Junko could see the marketplaces here on her island being used and she had a portion given as parts of taxes.

 

[Junko Ike]

The island itself was also something she was interested in.. wanting to see more about its performances so they would not get lost the redundant systems that kept it float, the systems that maintained the environmental controls for the surface and here for the sun and weather imitation... the millions of people she had loyal to her and who basically formed her own little micronation within Atrisiaan society. The island was over preforming from what she could see.. the cultivated farmland was a big thing as they had protection from more elements but had converted much more of the island to farmland and were overproducing which allowed their shipments and trade to be worth more... with exotic fruits, food and spices.

She could see a breakdown from here with her access thanks to the AI assembly that helped with it all their treasury and reserves were running over the limits and estimates making them not just in the green but they were trading and setting up with some of the smaller villages... supplying them food and trade which was good in exchange for crystals and gemstones that they were using... or rare materials that were being made and experimented on by engineers from the Horai islands where they were making some fo the best hybrid technologies among the different species that were refugees and able to work together... while they were getting moons that would only add to the diversity of Atrisia's Jishi era.

 

[Junko Ike]

"We have other reports princess, food supplies are up, mining production is up.... technologies that are in storage and being sold or transported offworld are up. We have actually been able to with some improvements increase production speeds by several factors. We have been able to improve storage space as well and fill it in. Trade deals between us and several of the smaller islands have proven more lucrative as they have algae and other plants we can use for medical supplies... which are also up and being put into cold storage. Demand from the wars has increased the need and we have been able to undercut many others offering higher quality and cheap prices leading to more credits."

That brought her attention up... there was something to be said about increasing the amount of credits they made and the deals were not just hers alone... if she was doing good then everyone in the Commonwealth would be doing good... she didn't doubt it... the Emperor and Empress worked to make sure the excess supplies would be chosen. Atrisia would be able to establish itself as one of the primary medical suppliers to many across the galaxy.. they were massive in scale and scope as needed. She was seeing the chance for them to do even more as the massive medical stations of Atrisian I would be up and running giving them high levels of production and cloning stations.

 

[Junko Ike]

"We have also been working opn more effective ways to monitor the galactic markets... changing up many of the information we should be able to create an automated investment system that will masque your involvement but would see diverse investments across the galaxy." Junko was looking at that as... well if they were going to make an AI solely dedicated to growing her credits... she had the watch circle but this AI would be able to aid them and in most cases it would be able to monitor from the lowest investments to the mega corporations. SHe could see some other things though if they could expand on the system this might be helpful across the Commonwealth to influence but not take over.

"Impressive.... but will it work?" SHe was curious when they showed her what had been invested in. "It should, the AI's framework we have been able to work on and monitoring specific areas of the holonet looking for talk of investment and projections is an important thing... If it can get you on the ground floor of some start ups or improve relations with companies it could be highly beneficial. We have projections that this could increase credits within the commonwealth but also your reserves and family by factors few others have been able to really see... exponentially giving returns in the hundreds of trillions credit wise."

 

[Junko Ike]

YEAR TWO

Junko nodded listenign to that and the AI was there in the corner working on the figures... From what Junko could see they had her built much like the assembly and before they distributed her across Atrisia and could use her to drive up some prices and currencies across the galaxy... she could imagine a lot of things but could happen but the exchange rate between Atrisian currency vs the various and changing Republic slash Galactic Alliances, against whatever federation or empire or brotherhood was appearing... the different orders.... they would have to speak with the consortium about how they got such favorable exchange rates.

"Welcome to the world HIbana?" SHe said it mostly because there wasn't a Hibana... well the daughters of it who were Hapan and after several years had shared some Hapan DNA with the Atrisians in different ways to interbreed for some of the most striking and beautiful women she had ever seen. The AI turned to look at her and bowed in greeting. "Not the first name I would have chosen but if that is what you want to call me princess." Junko looked at her and nodded. "Oh and what would you like to call yourself?" The AI seemed to think about it. "Ohashi." Ohashi like the old Atrisian word for money... fitting. "Fitting Ohashi... as you are designed to assist in making use a lot more credits."

 

[Junko Ike]

THe AI was looking at her. "I do more then that princess Junko." She said it and was looking at her offering a smile. "I am also tied in and able to look across the galaxy for information and find things that many others don't know for investment... I can work to make sure that the Atrisian currency exchange rate is always in our favor and we can work on that as well as what we can see of economic competition... I can monitor and maintain our own prices which I am doing as we sell off medical grade supplies to the academy on Carida.... or food stuffs that have been grown to the Ghostlings." She was looking at many of the things they had on the screen.

"I am also checking with the banking clans and updating information within their systems showing our economic growth... the galactic stocks and core worlds stocks that are altered on the daily for markets." Ohoshi seemed to be enjoying what she was doing and the jedi princess was impressed as she would have to make sure her upgraded datapad on the kirano had access to many things. Junko was looking at more but she continued onwards through the halls of the building and had a companion of the AI with her. "Well you are certainly busy and this will be beneficial in the long run for us if you can maintain it for us... get Atrisia back into the galactic scene.

 

[Junko Ike]

Listenign to the AI and her grand plan well it was what Junko wanted... but she also knew they Atrisia liked being isolated... staying and preparing themselves. They were also working towards just being themselves again with more effort going towards self interests like not requiring resources from worlds... few actually gave them a lot but it wouldn't be helpful in many cases to need the galactic alliance... Shoma already pushed a lot for them being involved in the defense of the world and while it could help it also meant they were sending their people and resources to aid them in whatever endeavor they were cramming down the throats of the galaxy.

"Princess... princess Junko." The words were shouted as Junko was walking and she stopped turning back around as one of the students. "Princess...." she crashed into Junko as yelped as the two of them rolled down with JUnko correcting themselves as they tumbled and stood back upright holding her close. "It is alright... there is nothing chasing you girl." SHe offered a small grin on her face though and sent as much of a calming aura as she could to the girl around her. SHe wasn't Atrisian... she was Hapan.. one of the younger exchange students who had been brought with Allana's program to create a sort of alliance of respect between the two societies.

 

[Junko Ike]

The woman seemed to be composing herself.. she had come here as a student... younger then most of the others and less experienced but had taken to the education reforms that saw Hapan instructors refining and teaching many of the things from their society including dinner etiquette. It served in many ways to refine Atrisian dinners as they had tradition but they were not as formal and able to hold in their decorum.... it was like finding the best marriage of manners that turned everything into a deadly game. "Ah princess Junko we detected an anomaly in the geology club... they were scanning and some of the caves on the shore had a quake."

That was a strange thing.. quakes on Atrisia were not a common thing... they were if anything something older and much more common on other worlds... but the beaches off the coast of her island were considered some of the most beautiful. Junko looked at her for a moment in surprise but also this was important enough for them to bring it to her attention.. so there had to be something. "THis wouldn't just be an excuse to get me at the beach in one of my bikini's would it?" SHe said it and raised an eyebrow as the girl looked at her. "No... no... no princess there is a quake at the caves near the beach." She said it and Junko could see the red in her cheeks while she squirmed.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at her and have a nod of her head... she would head out. "Then lets go." She said it and was moving quickly having the AI set the course and make sure she had transport to get out there quickly... her palace guards were ready to work as escorts as well. She needed some of her equipment after all if there was a quake... there could be danger after all and getting to the lift that would take her up to the surface... she was checking at many of the things they had... her guards met her in the lift though and some of the ones who were there presented to her a nod of acceptance... they were resolved to go with her and had the coordinates.

"We are ready princess and we are hearing about some of the dangers... though based on the information you would need to swim a lot more then it. I would suggest a more conservative swimsuit if you plan to go down there." Her handmaiden was more of a bodyguard but she was offering her a small out... but Junko wasn't one for that. "We will have to see... though I am fairly certain my swimsuit if needed is adaquate." She said it and well it was soemthing but it also presented for many of them a sense that she was with them and would help. "Of course princess." The woman was tall and muscled under her trench coat with heavy weapons. "We will set off immediately."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko quickly was there on the transport... still ornate and large but this time it was loaded with relief supplies and medical biots that would be able to help defend and protect... a few combat and general purpose biots that would act as back up to them. THey had some droids for mining as well since it was a cave in and some human medics that would be able to get around. JUnko on the other hand was moving and had changed into her swimsuit with one of the survival packs so she would be able to properly get there and help them if they needed it as the caves in the ocean were dangerous and could suck you in if you were not careful and then you might find yourself in the hidden ocean.

The aurodium strong was there and kyber crystals with strung gemstones and sunless silk, her pack in her hands with her other equipment in case it was needed like her lightsaaber but she got one of the rescue cans from the emergency supplies that would allow her to float and keep someone afloat. They were getting there as quickly as they could which on the airships was faster now that they had worked on them. Some were much much large but just repulsors and some were small but each one had been vastly improved to preserve the planet as well as serve to gain the advantage over what they might end up fighting.

 

[Junko Ike]

The airships though with their new upgrades were worlds faster... sleeker and more military designed yes with deck cannons and under slung drop pods and cannons but they were loaded with thousands of micro repulsors on top of the repulsors that they had to resist and basically be weightless on the world. They sailed through the sky and she would see her medical teams preparing... the mining crews setting up and designators working to divide them as needed and go over the holographic planning stages of the area... wherever they could help they would but each had a zone to check and procedure to follow that would allow them to effectively handle the situation.

They arrived and Junko looked at it... the beaches were beautiful... white sands, shallow waters with reefs of multi-colored coral that you could see from the air but more then that it had thousands of caves around it and deeper areas that would go into under hangs of abundant sea life. That was one of the important things and where many of the problems could be which is why they had rescue teams and lifeguards who patrolled the beaches... the towers spread with state of the art sensors and monitoring equipment as well as communications for them to be able to relay information and protect the people on the beach who had been moved off the shore and away from the caves.

 

[Junko Ike]

The feeling of the sun on her skin andf the sound of the people and the water as Junko walked down the ramp with the other running quickly. She held the rescue can putting the strap over her chest and giving a nod of her head to what they were doing before she started off towards the caves at a run. Some internal music started for her as a joke surely but there was also the chance that they didn't make it but you couldn't think like that and the jedi master moved along the beach quickly finding the rocks and the tami she was wearing on her feet were perfect for gripping the rock without being big and bulky on her feet or getting filled with sand.

"Princess." One of the lifeguards was there with droids at the entrance to the cave... the lights showing in and they were mapping it while checking for instability as it did go down and connect to the underground river and honey comb of water filled caves but there was also a search going they just were standing around... they were just also being smart and not going to rush in and endanger more lives. "I am here... what is happening?" She said it and looking at all of them could see some were tired from swimming around inside in the dark and some of the droids were adjusting the settings for submersible equipment to use and they would be able to search further and longer.

 

[Junko Ike]

"What is the situation?" Junko asked it while she was standing there and while small compared to some of the taller and built Atrisians she had a presence compared to them... getting looks but they were happy to answer her after she had arrived with much needed help. "There are two swimmers, they went into the cave and haven't been seen.. we found one of their blood trail on the coral and it looks like they were caught in the current here." She knew from experience it could be a little rough before she was already heading in and there were no predators in the tunnels but you could get lost and disoriented easily enough in the dark and panic but there were also several air pockets.

Junko was heading in with a couple of them and the overly muscled bodies were a dream come true under other circumstances... for now she was strapping the rescue can around her and giving it some slack to follow behind but she would be able to return it to her and able to use it like a lead to find air pockets. They had plenty here and the jedi master jumped into the water holding her breathe as she felt the colder water but here it was almost crystal clear. She could see more of it and further as the glow rod on her wrist shown and was directed into the dark tunnels leading the way with beacons to where they were searching.

 

[Junko Ike]

She was swimming deeper and deeper... they had found some blood but she was a jedi and her senses expanded outwards... her ability to sift and sense through the force as she floated there for a moment allowing the jedi master to head down the tunnels following a current and she came out in one of the side chambers emerging with her head whipping around. The sound of a locator beacon was there on her as she could feel the two of them and one was hurt as she found who she was looking for in the low light of the glow rod that she quickly adjusted. She swam over as for a moment she regained her ability to sense the immediate area and came up on the rocks with a look at them.

"Hey you two?" The jedi master said it getting looks from them as she sat there and pulled the strap until the rescue can was there with her. She had the locator beacon and the ground penetrating sensors were finding her and the closest way to a connecting tunnel that they would be able to use or what might be a better way to mine and dig through the ground... which was there. She could use her saber to slice through and connect them though she would first have to make sure the two of them were okay as the medical kit was there and working to clean and wrap the wound in synthflesh binding that would protect from the water.
