CAPTAIN RONHAR TANE, TK-3301
MAHPOREEM HELD SPACE
OBJECTIVE: MEET THE DROID
Unpredictable. Unhinged.
Dangerous.
That was how
Nathea
had been described to
Ronhar Tane
. Apparently based of a
D-13 Class Assassin Droid, there was something special about
Nathea
that one seldom found in other droids of her type, something that was of particular interest to the
Mahporeem Imperial Remnant.
Nathea
might just be the first droid to know what it is to be human.
For all intents and purposes, it seemed that
Nathea
was able to experience true emotion, not just a series of estimations or preset reactions one might see in other droids.
Nathea
could feel pain, come to anger, express regret and the many other emotions that made organic beings organic. The Imperial Remnant was hoping to have an opportunity to study the droid or at least observe the reasons that made her the way that she uniquely was. The working theory was that if her subroutines could be replicated in Mahporeenian droids and reproduced and modified, it could greatly increase the combat potential of Mahporeem's mechanized units, which the information used to make them that way could then be forwarded to
The Lord of Hunger
and the N&Z Umbrella Corporation.
The hard part was getting
Nathea
into one place without having her try to kill everyone within her immediate vicinity.
That was why Ronhar and his men had been deployed to one of Mahporeem's numerous orbital facilities, because if
Nathea
went rouge and tried to attack them, the damage could be contained to a single location. Ronhar truly hoped it wouldn't come to that, but nothing was certain, and everything would hinge upon the way she acted when she arrived on the station.
