When Two Heads Collide (Enigma)

Audrey Thénardier

Crime is a Family Business
The best part about living on Naboo was, in Audrey's opinion, the envinorment. The planet had such a lush and traquil feel for it that one could almost lose themselves in how relaxing it all was. Having grown up among the higher standards of the people's living status Audrey often felt she had a far better view of it than most, especially when the Thénardier estate was situated near the large falls that lead into a river, which itself flowed onward to a nearby swamp where beyond that was the major hub of the Naboo cities.

Audrey sat in a chair in front of a table on a large balcony that hung over the drop from which the estate itself was on. Looking down one could see the hundred foot fall anyone could take before hitting the rocky bottom below. Across from it, a few yards away, was the large falls spoken of before that spilled down in a massive flow. It had added a flushing sound to the air of the scene that made Audrey oftne hum with delight. It was mixed with the music being played over the holoplayer systems to the estate, sounding out almost everywhere else she wished it to. The music was a large ochestra playing a mix of horns and strings and drums and the like in to one grand symphony of a tune. On the table in front of her was a small plate with a number of finger foods in waiting and an ashtray where a still smoldering cigar sat.

Lady Thénardier herself was reading a book while wearing her usual attire. A fine pressed suit more befitting a man. Her long blonde hair hung around her shoulders while her deep blue eyes scanned the words from the pages she read through her thin glasses that sat upon her nose. Her gloves she usually wore sat on the table in front of her, as Audrey loved the feel of turning actual pages from a book over reading from a holoscan. She sat crossed legged and leaned back while continuing to read, a protcol droid on standby if she asked for anything.

This was all Audrey Thénardier could do to pass the time while awaiting her special important guest. The name of someone called Circe, or [member="Enigma"] in some cases, had often crossed her reports and transaction notes from many different assignments and operations. Apparenlty this woman, whoever she was, had managed to spread her hands into practically as many dealings and the like as Audrey herself; possibly more. Such an oppertunity to make some sort of partnership with someone like that was an oppertunity to not waste. Audrey just hopped she would be inclined to hear her out, whatever sort of woman she may have been. An invatation had been privatley sent and now it was just a matter of waiting and hoping she would accept.

Circe's arrival under the 'Enigma' name was expected. The information detailing who she was and what she did previously was well since gone. Entering into the Naboo estate, which was quite lush - similar to some of the environments on board that space station she'd purchased a villa in, but more natural. Entering inside, she soon found herself escorted to the room of the woman who desired to do busines with her.

"So, I hear you needed someone of my prestigious services."

A protocal droid had stood in-waiting at the entrance until [member="Enigma"]'s arrival. Having seen her arrive the droid bowed before indicating for her to follow as she was lead, eventually to the balcony through half of the estate itself. The shuffling sound of it's joints almost echoed throughout the halls as they walked before eventually stopping just at the entrance outside where Lady Thénardier herself was sitting and still reading.

Once she'd walked up and spoken to her Lady Thénardier lowered the book and lifted her eyes to finally see the one called "Enigma". She wasn't exaclty what she'd pictured, thinking that such a mysterious name would be equipped to someone a little more meager in order to hide thier meek form, but this was far different. She was rather pretty, as was Audrey's first assesment, and seemed to have a mysterious and yet openly commanding air to her. This intruged her. Regardless once she had arrived Audrey stood and dropped her book to the table before standing.

With hand rasied out to shake she said "Ah, Ms. Enigma I presume? So glad you finally arrived." She waited until hands were exchanged before offering her a seat across from her. After that Audrey herself sat down before asking "Would you care for any refreshments?" Despite her answer Audrey heard it out before saying "I trust the trip wasn't too rough for you. Coming all the way from....wherever you did." with a smirk.

"I prefer to be a shadowy individual. The less information people know about me and where I am, the better." She smiled, considering the repercussions of her being here - she was disguised, as the illusory appearance of White Current magic helped make sure that no one would recognize her as such while she stepped foot on this world.

"I'll pass on the drinks right now, madame. What can I do for you?"

Smiling at her remark about being the more shadowy type Lady Thénardier replied "I know exaclty what you mean. To the rest of the galaxy I'm just a business woman who happens to be head of a noble household. To only my closest of friends," she'd empahsized on the close part "I'm actually a well- informed and well deserved crime lord. But then again, some wouldn't be able to tell the difference." After that she waved off the droid who was standing by to serve drinks when Circe denied them, at which point she leaned foward and said "Ms. [member="Enigma"], I understand you've been involved a few underhanded experiments. Some with advanced technology. Others into more....unusual territories. I'm the type who likes to have ear and eyes all about for these sorts of things. Some of them I intend to keep a little more personal than others. If you understand my meaning."

"I do pride myself on my experience in starship design, technology design, and bioengineering... but from how it sounds, you're looking for a particular creation of mine. What exactly are you wanting?" She smiled, considering through her creations what sort of genetic abomination she could create for this woman. Not the Circean Wyrm, not anything like that...

Maybe another sentient?

"Starships and other technology are for my clients and business partners." Lady Thénardier began to explain. "I'm hoping with my shipping companies continuous aide into all my affairs I'll be able to satisfy them with a little incentive. But your bioengineering. That is primarily why I called you." Leaning back she sighed before picking up her cigar and taking in a small puff. After letting it out she began with "I'm the head of the Thénardier household for a reason: because my father knew I was the only one, out of my entire family, who could undertake this role. The problem is that if I want this family to continue in my own legacy, it would require producing an heir. And, as personal as this might seem, I'm not exaclty fond of men." She let [member="Enigma"] react to that however she wished. "And even if I could bare to allow such a thing, I'm afraid of what will come from allow some other's genes to spoil my own. What I'm asking for, Ms. Engima, is a child. One born straight from my own image. But with a few....improvements." another puff of smoke escaped her lips when she said this.

"So you have more a taste in something that can do six things instead of one." She smirked, giving a soft grin at the Naboo criminal mastermind. "You want me to genetically engineer you a child with superior genes. I believe that such is, to say the absolute least, accomplishable. It can definitely be done. The question is, what sort of particulars do you have?"

There were boundaries on this - what the client wanted. She expected that Audrey would be no different.

A chuckle in her throat indicated that Lady Thénardier found her joke about six things over one funny. Usually she didn't like to joke about her more personal desires, but with [member="Enigma"] she could sense she might have had the same tastes as well. This did interest her a little but she waved it off in favor of talking more on her prodgity.

"Aside from being pysically more fit that most, I want her to be stronger than anyone else in our family. A new start in the new bloodlines to follow the name Thénardier. Which is why I was wondering if it's possible to implanet the ability to use the force into this child."
 
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
[member="Audrey Thénardier"]

"Such can be done artificially, though the end result will never be as powerful as someone who has the capabilities of the Force naturally." She nodded. "Enhanced strength can be given as well. Though are there any particulars you'd like me to focus on?" She was curious as to how much Audrey knew about her creations - particularly such as the Vinithi.

And using the Vinithi would be a chance to debug them once again.

"Strength and felxibility is fine enough." she said. "As long as this child is able to defend itself in the end. I'll admit, while I'm skilled with a blade myself, I've resorted to using a blaster now-and-then to make my points far more clear to others. You understand, of course, that I'd want my prodgity to be able to have any and all benefits that will keep it protected. And I'll be able tp provide whatever training that can be afforded for her to learn to use the force." With another deep intake of smoke from her cigar she sighed and added "One more thing. I want it to be a girl. I've....always dreamed of having a daughter." she admitted.

[member="Enigma"]

[member="Audrey Thénardier"]

"I can certainly do that for you." She smiled, considering what sort of favor the woman would owe her once she delivered precisely what she had asked for. "It will take a significant amount of time to engineer an embryo with the specific sort of genes... unless you'd like to try an option I'm sure you've probably heard of before."

Said option was the Vinithi, of course. She needed to mention the side effect.

"You're refering to those planet-creatures you've helped create. The Vinithi, right?"

Knowing only a little about it Lady Thénardier leaned back in her seat while consdiering the facts. She only knew that these Vinithri were created by [member="Enigma"] and some other scientists in the attempts to create a sentient plant species. This had succeded yet Audrey barley knew any of the actual traits and procedures involved with something like this. She'd smoked down the last bits of her cigar by the time she was ready to ask her.

"What would be involved? I'm assuming you'll need my DNA and something else?"
 
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
[member="Audrey Thénardier"]

"Indeed. They have such capabilities... but they're infertile. Without special genetic engineering, that is." She smiled. "Any attempt for one of them to have children with a human would require significantly advanced IVF procedures. Even then, the child would probably end up being a vegetarian." She chuckled. "I may be able to make sure that such happens, though. Give me some time to work on one of my older samples."

Perhaps the earlier non-humanoid Vinithi would hold the key.

Hearing the minor set back Lady Thénardier actually had to think on it. The matter of her daughter mating with a human wasn't in question, it was if she mated with one at all. There were other species out in the galaxy, but who was to say where this child's desires would go. For all she knew she would be like her and need yet another cloning process to produce an heir of sorts. She rested her head in her hand as she leaned on the right arm of her seat, contemplating this.

Finally looking back to [member="Enigma"] she said "Very well. Whatever you think will benefit further. If need be I can provide a generous sum. Money, as you can tell, is no object here."
 
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
[member="Audrey Thénardier"]

"Why Audrey... I'm not going to need that." She smiled. "Not right now, anyways. But I will need your participation, sweet thing." Looking on her datapad to recollect notes she had taken during the creation of the original Vinithi, she smiled. "Suffice to say, it will need a host early in life to gain nutrients from, as well as DNA. I can assure you though that such will be a most enjoyable experience for you."

She grinned, thinking about the entire situation. It would be enjoyable indeed.

Given that response Audrey leaned foward, her arms cross on the table, and smirked as she said "The way you make it sound, I don't know if I should be extactic or nerous beyond all regocnition. Either way, I'm willing to risk it." She pulled out another cigar from her jacket, as well as a lighter, and offered one to [member="Enigma"] while liting hers. Despite if she wanted one or not Audrey continued with "How soon can I expect to have my child?"
 
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
[member="Audrey Thénardier"]

"Around nine to ten months." She smiled. "Give or take a couple of weeks to formulate the embryo, that is." She paused, thinking with regards to any other potential variables. "That should be it, so far as I'm concerned. I promise you'll enjoy the gift I have to give you." Her grin grew even larger than it had before.

"Trust me."

A deep sigh of relief escaped from Audrey's lips. Hearing it all from [member="Enigma"], the one she knew what she was talking about when it came to this subject, made it a little more reasoanable to her that this could really happen. She might finally be able to have the daughter she'd always wanted, and now she would be stronger than ever.

Thinking on it Audrey removed the glove on her right hand and held it out, asking "How do you want my DNA? Blood? Skin sample? Something....more internal?" a smirk across her face.
 
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
[member="Audrey Thénardier"]

"Something more internal." She smirked. "Something that the embryo can be based on so it will properly assimilate your DNA within it." She smirked. "Once I have that sample, you'll receive the finished product. It may be rather surprising once you see it, but I guarantee that it will function properly with your anatomy."

Yes, it most definitely would.
