Dev Shadows of Atrisia

[Junko Ike]

Junko stretched in the morning light as it came through and her palace might be secluded in the far end of the canyon... they had carved and worked to build protection styled for it. With the waterways designed for the village itself and the overhanging canyon served with defensive turrets able to aim down. The top of the canyons just below holding drones and several fighters for emergencies. While the top areas of them were designed for stealth and protection with shielding generators. The trees lined with sensors that would alert the village and Junko's soldiers to any potential problems that might come after them.

She could see more, the palaces design was boxy... the palace area of it at the furthest end and bordered by a bamboo forest that went towards the private areas she had. A hot springs and private lake with river that went into the interior of the island as well as spider webbed out into an escape route. By water at least, the monitoring and defensive measures were scattered all over and designed specifically to make following and tracking hard. Junko worked on more of it in her mind as the white current illusions and defenses were designed to confuse rather then harm... concealing from angles as well as presenting other places on islands and scanners.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was dressed and slipped on the small slippers to her feet as she went outside into the gardens. Dozen's of statues of various women depicted throughout between the grasses and small pools. Fruit trees that were being cared for and tiny droids that picked the ripe fruits while leaving a few for her to be able to pick herself. The sounds of a few creatures there when she looked over at a couple walking about. The birds were carefully here and while they could fly over the island they rarely left. Migration was not needed as the island was always in the ideal weather thanks to the control towers that had been developed... food was abundant.

She continued through aand the palace district was large, the river that was designed to run around one side of it going into an infinity symbol through one of the canyons and from there she knew there was a small private island in the center of the canyons. With the overhangs creating and obscuring the waterways that were isolated. SMall underground channels that allowed the water to be pumped in and circulated... with cleaaners and filters for it. There was also in the mountains a private escape and pathway down into one of the various interconnected bunkers that were below the islaand but just above the city portions.

 

[Junko Ike]

She didn't need to travel along the river and check it. It was made to be private, a way for her to relax and it circulated like a pool.. peaceful and cut off with the chance that it could have specifically cultivated fish within it if she wanted it to have them. The water would be highly cleaned so it could be drinkable or able to be used for anything and even could be warmed. The small river opening in the center to a small island that was private and exclusive to her. The sands she knew much the same while having a living module that she could use if she needed to for wooing, wining and dining guests she wanted to have some privacy with.

She went from the small area to observe the forest itself. Hidden from view with the white current was the pathway through it as she had designed it. SMall stones within that would make one go on a circular route through it and might try their patience if they couldn't see the route with the current itself. A way to conceal the hot springs and private beach which served as a reclusive area she could use and have her handmaidens. Another bunker there designed to be able to be accessed and interconnecting to the greater series of Bunkers that have been maade in case of aattack. Hundreds of servants able to survive.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko hadn't gone down into them, the hidden bunkers themselves were set up as interconnecting bunkers built around the palace and the island itself. Allowing seamless travel that they would be able to do so they could launch smaller scale hit and run attacks if there was a danger of the island being occupied. She knew they were set up with improved defenses and concealment protocols... the white current and best in terms of stealth measures would be taken as well as soundproofing to the point kinetic vibrations on either side would be absorbed. Allowing those within to live and be normal as it were while outside bombings would barely register.

From the bunkers it went down into the underground sections of the city. Filled with support staff, soldiers, scientists and families.. not everyone could live and fit in the village that ran this island. The tubes interconnecting the palaces having home within them as well and their own avenues... the deepest levels of the island housing labs that would better serve to constantly aid them but there was also the biodomes used for food production from raising livestock to controlled environments to harvest almost year round fruits and veggies... there were berries and nuts that benefitted them in far greater capacity... fresh and recycling water or air.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko observed and could see more here... the garden going to the bamboo forests on either side while the small rive and hanger bay were opposite. She moved around with Xifang as the large cat was there an steam was coming off of the ground in misty waves. The scent of wet grass and trees were there. The pathway went down on the rightside to the women's quarters and court... a larger area with various tiers but situated there was part of the mountain canyon that didn't have a massive overhang instead being a solid mountain that opened to reveal the hanger bays. With all the various ships she had gotten over the years and fighhters.

The heavy doors were designed to easily opened from her touching them.. the oiled smoothness of them was quiet despite most lightsabers and explosives would not be able to scratch the doors. The vong locks were sentient enough to recognize her.. the defensive droids inside able to see her and knew Xifang or the handmaidens of her otachi. She didn't need to go in she just looked as the palace vessels she had were in storage.. the later models at the ready for her to be able to use and a collection of atrisian and jedi vessels that she would be able to use or her sakuma models. The collection of combat droids was also important to have in there

 

[Junko Ike]

She could see the droids in there though.. she could see the workers who were busy and making sure everything was at the peak of performance... walking around the path as she could take a lap around the palace and see so much more. The gates to the woman's court was impressive and protected. Thicker doors that were sealed as needed with a wall that was designed two fold. Just plates of walls and a pathway between them but she knew there were living modules, defensive turrets, automated and manual, droids, biots and soldiers who would be there and the wall went across the canyon to divide the palace area from the rest.

She could see that they were working on things and there were the night houses, an entertainment and pleasure district... she was not so opposed to having a place that people could enjoy themselves and it allowed for vices in a controlled area. The people could drink and indulge without the risk of groups like the hutts or criminal organizations, and the guards could take them back to their rooms and homes easily enough. It was also the only aspect of women's court that was open to everyone but it was still sectioned off from the homes there both the maidens and the estates for single women. Junko kept walking with a small smile on her face.

 

[Junko Ike]

She walked the length of the gate from end of the canyon to end of the canyon. Its design was meant to be almost flawless and seamless... the gates themselves imposing and unable to be seen if you weren't on the path itself. The canyons overhang could be seen with its struts anchored to the wall but as it went down into the wall it became part of it. Mist rising and collecting in upper areas making it almost look like clouds in the early morning. She walked a little past the gate that led into the ghost court... the funeral area housing urns and memorials to the fallen for families as well as her own family or guards that didn't have a family.

Phaidor was there waiting for her as she got closer and the handmaiden offered her a smile. Her dark honey skin and eyes looking at Junko while she was wearing a loosely tied kimono for the morning. "You are up early.," She said it and Junko came near herr with a smile as they could walk. Areas of the infinity river were visible as a small bridge led into a section of cave one could walk in towards the centraal island or upper observation areas. It was all very private as a setting since the upper areas were more sections then gallery so one could be up there and not be disturbed while being able to look out on the serenity of the gardens and river.

 

[Junko Ike]

She knew there was more for the garden area. She didn't need to take the bridge but she stood at the rivers edge and looked in. The carefully filtered and cleaned waters nearly crystal clear and she knew there was jade glass on the bottom allowing light to filter in and through.. it was what gave it the almost stained glass look and you could see the blue waters clearly. The currents could be seen swirling the river and making it more into a luxury motion pool. The sleek surface of the jade stone underneath the waters making gripping near impossible but the cleaning and filter droids were there and able to help if there was problems.

The shimmer of the hydrostatic shielding as Junko left the river and walked. Going around the bridges and back itno the garden... she was able to make her rounds as the pathways around the fruit trees on the exterior of the garden opened to see statues, silverblade grasses growing just high enough they could sway with the breeze in a cascade... but they were not large or high enough to impose. The force humming off of the grass itself when it came to the fruit trees and their collection basins that had lightly running water the fruit fell in and got cleaned... it going with the current to larger collection bins the droids collected from.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at the fruits that were in the bin and what were being brought from the waters of the garden. Weaving in the channels for a moment as they turned and were washed with the circulating and clean water. The trees themselves enriched with the force and soil that would allow fruits to almost start growing as soon as you picked them. The Silver rest on Kashyyyk had perfected the silver light for the forests and farmlands... allowing them to grow a lot of food and crops year round with the wookies. Junko knew there was more as well.. there were improvements to be had with their collection and preservation processes.

Junko knew a few other things would be there... the statues of many who had worked with her.. who had come to care and live their lives. Brief moments, indulgences and enjoyments... their statues were there adorning it all... trees of fruit as well as beauty from the looks of them. Flowers set up and arraigned around everything that they had on display... improvements with the grass in some places and small bunches of the bamboo was set up that allowed guards to be around and hidden by most standards. The biggest thing was the one pool that was set up for use with three waterfalls that were designed around it... having a statue in the center.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko traced the waterfalls in the garden as it went up into a sheer wall that was jade crystasteel.. allowing light to filter through the green glass and blue waters... refracting the light all around... brightening the areas of the garden and showing the statues of herself, Supisy and Latyuo there... she walked around it as the pair of smuggler, pilots and court ladies were off on missions or in their own estates. Slowly she took in a few other parts with the waters showing small koi like fish that swam in circles with each other. The small droids attracting them as they dispersed food and cleaned the waters to keep them clean as well as slime and scum free.

Junko could see much more of it as she walked through areas of the garden returning towards the sunken lounge area. The seats were cushioned with more droids both large and micro that protected from the waters if it rained. The trees casting comfortable shade on it as well as the tabled that had their own track allowing the chefs to cook the food and it would spin around on a small bar for all of them to eat. Drinks were there and chilled with some interesting vintages from wine to juices, flavored waters to milks that were flavored by various barries and fruits... they had it all and the milks were carefully temped to be fresh or traded out.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko could see other parts of it.. the garden as it wrapped around with thicker trees and closer statues concealed her private patio... the seats filled with her handmaidens and her serving girls.. their trays of food laid out as the steam from rice and sizzling meats were there. The vahla was laid out and covered in the food as was the batosai whom did much the same but could keep the creams that they used cold and frozen. Junko found a place that she could sit down as Barca was there and she indulged her going to the large mandalorian woman and relaxing next to her as an arm went around her shoulders.

"Morning princess." She said it whle having some of the food for the both of them. Miyoung and Min were there with grins on their faces as Junko looked at the handmaiden. "I would say the two of you have bed head but Min has the benefit of not having hair." There was a laugh and grin but the pale twi'lek could almost be said to be blushing... it was hard to see as her skin was more fair then most atrisians. Miyoung looked and started to straighten her hair when she breathed in and then outwards... "Yes but worth it... sorry we weren't able to... prepare but we have some news. The labs got the latest news and several ships have been developed."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at her as Miyoung spoke. "The newest ships and weapons have been developed with the materia that has been developed and it is... well this hypertech preforms much better then anyone could expect... the hyperspatial bleed of energy allows for exponentially large amounts of energy to be outputted and we can channel it into something or somewhere else. It brings up a lot that will be able to be used if we can develop a small scale amount of vessels... what will be important about it is how powerful its potential and we will be able to use it for facilities and cities. Getting it seeded into the walls and structures will continue to increase their durability."

Junko gave a nbod of her head to that as Barca was offering her some food and spoke. "And between the Mandalorian knights on Dxun who work with your family and Sasori and the ones in Quen'lo... the new materia could be used with beskar for what they have been planning. That chai la has been impressive compared to some of the things other clans have done... giving more protection and a lighter weight to some of our armors... makes protection and fighting that much easier." She said it as Miyoung spoke. "And the new weapons it allows to be made are some of the potentially most dangerous and powerful."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko did agree with that... all that was left was dangerous... more and more.. in certain ways. "It is what there will be, we can't tweak the numbers anymore... only so much can be done for the reload and refresh speed of energy shots or slugthrowers." Junko said it but she was looking at what had been made.. the newest metal was being used for the barrels of the equipment... the capabilities of it would allow for increased energy absorbing properties... so they would be able to more and more be able to handle stronger power sources. THe energy output of the cannons that they had developed was enough to power entire fleets alone or planets for millions of years.

Junko knew they were working on other projects and the ardana station was something she had been interested in.. if they could get one for the planet or for some of the worlds within the Commonwealth... it would give them a back up system in many cases and they would be largely improved in a number of things... if they could use the hypertech improvements to what they had... they would be able to have it across the worlds of the Commonwealth... to preserve it behind the breakwater itself... use it o the breakwater which was continuing to expand and reinforce itself dor their own means... it like many things was self sustaining.

 

[Junko Ike]

Barca looked at Junko. "I don't know, we can adjust and tweak quite a lot.. the better the materials for it the stronger and faster you can make it... most of the galaxy looks at Atrisian weapons as something out of a scinece fiction movie... to them it is just too high a concept that they are left confused... which mind you the concept isn't that high it is just refined and distilled to the point of being some of the finest... as well as some of the most advanced while they are just standing still... a lot of people don't like advancing their comforts even if it will improve all qualities of life around the galaxy for billions if not trillions of others."

Junko looked at Barca and had to give a nod.. they didn't have to make everything ultra advanced.. they could make the tried and true just so good few others could compete with them.. and if they used their fabrication technologies in a slugthrower they could have the reduction of needing to carry additional weight from power packs or slugs... they would be able to do a few other things as well... he energy generation and cultivation would be able to help them... it would and did in what they had made allow them to have much better weapons and equipment compared to many of the other companies and armies.

 

[Junko Ike]

"A lot of people are fools, it isn't progress for the sake and name of it.. progress to try and better things by pulling everyone out of the technological dark ages and stagnation that plagues many eras of our galactic history. We should try and preserve but we should also try and make things better. There is a mentality of good enough, of this is fine that damages many of the others we have been able to see." Junko said it while she was looking over some of it.. they had more and more means in some cases... she had some plans and with the newest slew of things that they had gotten built they would be able to vastly improve the quality of life.

She was thinking about it as the reports finished.. there was a chance to explore some of Ahri's latest research endeavors... they had a tomb and Junko wanted to go and check it out. "Well Ahri sent a message at least. her latest dig she would like me to come and see so.. we're going to the desert. Pack as needed... I'll get to wear some of our newest desert outfits." She had a grin on her face though as she could get up from Barca's shoulder going towards the massive closet... a look of interest on her face when Phaidor was coming to join her with some fo the outfits. "Hmm well aat least they are form fitting and good for sweat."

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko gave a nod to that... in truth all of their outfits were made like that and the materia functioned to be some of the more impressive... just regular temperature regulation for the body was an easy enough thing in their general clothing for the rest of the body... Atrisian citizens did not sweat as it were as the outfits cooled them in the heat and would retain their body heat in the cold... so they were always safe and comfortable with it expanding like a film over the body and it was seamless and invisible. So Junko was ready while the others were getting as well with a few going through the large palace.

"Oh this is going to be fun, seeing Ahri's latest discovery." Miyoung said it as she had as much interest as any of them but was always excited... older discoveries meant the chance for older technologies... and older technologies in the galaxy sometimes meant early or advanced civilizations.... it could mean technologies not seen in the galaxy for millions of years or longer or it could be the basis for some of the things that they used everyday... it was one of the thrilling parts of such a discovery. Junko was glad to let them all come though one or two would need to stay for meetings and being a body double.

 

[Junko Ike]

"We'll have to decide who is going and who is staying... we don't need a lot of people here but someone will need to be around for meetings and can catch us up on important matters of state in case anything happens." She said it and that was usually the plan... the handmaiden pretending to be her for security would inform them when they returned unless it was something incredibly urgent... so far there wasn't a whole lot of those situations happening even with the cosmic shifting of worlds... that had caused a stir but it seemed most just went with it as crrazier things had happened in the past century to jade most perspectives.

Junko had a small pack for her hip to go with her slim shoulder packs and there was even more... the engineers at Sasori had made the equipment packs that they used less bulky looking so you could move with them... while still having more then enough space to move around. Junko enjoyed it and the more improvements that they made to the material was welcoming but the more materials in general was nice. The materia allowed them to mimic just about anything that they wanted and it could adjust for them. It was widespread enough and common for them so... all of the citizens had it and thus they had a lot more protection then many others.

 

[Junko Ike]

"Well chances of an attack or danger are there.. Barca is a must, Ahri is therre and you are going to want someone just as smart as her so Miyoung... I'd recommend one more like Kanna go so that you have a pilot in case of problems. I can double here with Min and Kirano." She said it and Junko nodded her head. "Sounds good but I will also take Xifang.. he can stretch his legs for a moment or two at least and he loves seeing Ahri in her natural habitat." There were some small chuckles to that and Junko motioned for the large Tiger who was there with her as it sensed her for a moment and rose up... stretching when it walked.

"Come, we're going to see Ahri." She said it and the large tiger was looking down at her but he was always excited to be around with her. Walking at Phaidor organized everything and Barca stood there with her armor going on. The plates attachingto her handmaiden underarmor... the robes shifting with the materia a little but it allowed her to have the colors. "Well I got the new weapons that were being offered... they look kind of small in most situations but I am assured the firepower that is offered will be more then enough." She said it and attached the wrist blasters to her gauntlets that were already incredibly deadly as well as a revolver on her hip.

 

[Junko Ike]

With Barca ready there was also Miyoung who would benefit the best with Ahri.. she knew how to counter her brains... mostly cause while Junko was smart she didn't know everything... she could just memorize it all... but Junko didn't have all of the answers like Miyoung... she was just one of the brightest minds here on Atrisia. Xifang loved her as well since she was always sneaking him food. The daark skinned woman remained there as she wore the jade colored handmaiden robes with a bow of her heaad... she could use a weapon like the sword blaster hybrid they had but she was really skilled in martial fighting.

Xifang was there with them as Phaidor laid out the plan itself with Kanna perking up as the Chiss looked with amusement in her solid red eyes. "Oh fun times then." She said it and rose up getting some of her own equipment that she would be able to take. Barca grinning for the moment She had her equipment and debated one thing. "THink I should bring my droid?" She said it to Junko but also to herself... having a massive war droid being there for protection did a lot and her ship was important enough... she just launched it from orbit and the Atrisians ignored the ship since it was considered safe enough.

 

[Junko Ike]

Junko looked at her. "We are just going to be on the planet." She said it and looking at Barca she debated it.. that meant the possibility that they were overprepared... which wasn't always a bad thing when she was thinking about it. Having a war droid able to be deployed from orbit in the event of an attack or hidden danger which some of the older palaces and tombs would have at times... was a risk and benefit... Barca had more then enough firepower to level cities on her own if she was going against worlds like coruscant... compared to Atrisian cities "Well it might be overkill with the amount of firepower but... never a bad idea to be prepared for anything."

That got a small look of excitement from the mandalorian as well as a nod of agreement... firepower and war droids were welcomed if the chance of some ancient beast that was trapped underground might be there... they would have to risk it in many cases and there would be a whole lot more danger for them as well... "Good. I'll have it ready to deploy should we need it but as you say and would likely plan for... there is not a lot of risk of attacks happening on Atrisia... still we have seen some of the more dangerous predators or ancient traps and dangers be there... stasis pods for defenses are annoying as all hell."
