The Griffin of Vandemar
KAMINO | GOVERNMENT BUILDING | CLONING
Part III
Aurelian did not escape the partly overhearing of his intention. It was no big ordeal, he had the patience to meet in earnest with the Mandalorians to enter a treaty with either Vandemar or Zakuul, or both preferably. The contact was made and he knew who he could approach for such undertaking. She was an interesting young woman, the fire burning in her even reaching her hair. So he listened as she started the exchange with their host. Whom he would listen to intently.
"Curious, Prime Minister. Did you achieve these results for the longer procedures or those involving the Spaarti-method?" The Hegemon asked casually, his white topped head and grey colored eyes turning towards the Kaminoan. "Since your respectful people had nearly perfected the 'long-term cloning' with the Grand Army under the honorable Lama Su, these breakthroughs were hopefully achieved on the quicker methods?" Kamino was the birth of any advanced cloning research, but centuries of perfecting with trials and many errors had resulted in Vandemar outperforming Kamino's achievement by the creation of the Homo Aurum.
But he was respecting them. There was no doubt in that, they were the ancestors and predecessors of successful mass-cloning. He posed a challenging question not to mock but to engage. Between Kamino and Vandemar, the latter was the one who was actively working on two clone armies at this very moment in time. And Aurelian was more than interested to deepen the partnership if possible.
Then his gaze set on the small Neimodian and his rather uneducated statement as well as proposing an idea which was already firmly in place, just not as crude as his words made it sound. Lobotomy. Either he was not aware of what he was talking about or he actually believed the droids to be superior to sentient organics. One way or the other, he was a fool.
"Combining bio-engineering and cybernetics is a mainstay of physical and genetic improvements for a long time already, even in cloning if the buyer can afford such units."
