Kapitel 49: V.1-C.49│Sky-Seed II│
Kaminoans were a tall, thin amphibian sentient species native to the isolated extragalactic aquatic planet of Kamino.
Living in large stilted domed cities that rose high above the ocean surface, Kaminoans were known to specialize in pioneering cloning and genetic engineering as well as developing technologies for various clients, including the Galactic Republic.
Now, their list on clientele will increase by one.
Anakin dressed in his Vader suit had communicated with the Kaminoans because of the information he had gotten from the Sith holocron.
With which it contained the secrets to becoming a superior human, transcendent above a normal human and transforming themselves into a superhuman.
Kaminoans usually keep to themselves and to get a deeper understanding of why they are heavily invested into genetic engineering is because of purpose.
"The Kaminoans don't create without a purpose."
While Kamino remained unknown to most, the Kaminoans skill in engineering and genetic engineering was whispered of in some parts of the underworld.
While Anakin had wanted to get an in with the Kaminoans, he did not need it originally but now he would need to approach them to try and convince them of his desires.
Within his Vader persona, he had gotten outside of the Jedi temple, or to be more specific he had renovated the Sith shrine underneath into an appropriate base of operations here on Coruscant.
It was here that he would conduct himself in his Vader persona to control and plan things out, at least while he as Anakin was on lockdown within the temple. 'For now.'
He had secured a valid and encrypted connection to the Kaminoans and was going to use it. Calling in, the Kaminoans are quick to pick up.
Both sides see the respective holographic figure(s) appear from their own ends. "Greetings, it has come to our attention that you wish to use our services."
Vader on the other end replies. "Yes."
"You must know by know that we Kaminoans do not just help anyone. Not without a benefit of our own, not without a purpose."
"I know of this fact."
The Kaminoan on the other end questions Vader's intent. "For which purpose is this meeting called? Do you also wish to have clones, some genetic manipulation of sorts to be applied to yourself or others? Or are you only here to waste our time."
Vader's breathing on the other end starts to unnerve the Kaminoan as he pauses to create the desired effect. "I have something that might be of some interest to you. To all of those who practice medicine within your people."
Noting the silence on the other side as curiosity, Vader continues. "I have discovered some very useful information that pertains to the manipulation of genetics. Genetics in particular to do with humans and their development from young to old."
"I wish to complete and perfect the source of this information."
The Kaminoan at this point, interested introduces himself. "Well, before we properly begin I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Lama Su and I am the statesman who leads the Ruling Council of Kamino."
Vader replies. "You may simply call me Vader, I am of no particular significance but come from the recently liberated planet of Tatooine."
"I am here on behalf of the people of Tatooine to help further increase our military and wish to create something incredibly powerful."
"I have heard about Tatooine, supposedly your planet is under the control of some sort of criminal empire, is it not?"
"Yes, but you are wrong because Tatooine is currently not under any criminal. It has come under the rule of a governmental body that is a combination of a democracy and monarchy together."
"Interesting, it would seem that I myself have missed out on some interesting news, but lets get back on topic. Tell me more about this interesting bit of information you have stumbled across."
"Like I said, it is based of creating germ cells and viral machines that would be used to develop into various organs." Vader then continues. "More specifically it has been developed for those who are human."
"That sounds interesting indeed and we have been and still currently are in the process of experiments that include human DNA."
Lama Su and Vader then continued to discuss the terms of their agreement to do things and an interesting little tidbit did pop up that surprised and somewhat offended the Kaminoans.
"I wish to bring some other things into this project, or more specifically I wish to bring in researchers and medical technicians of my own." Vader said.
Not to get too angry quickly, Lama Su waited for Vader to finish. "They will be of great assistance and in fact should not get in the way of what we plan to do."
Vader presented to them the concept of the droids he had under his command and while this did not concern Lama Su too much if at all because of droids imitations, he was nonetheless intrigued but decided that his employer would not like him asking questions.
The Kaminoans did not need anything of too much importance from Vader except the information he so graciously provided and the payment was Republic credits. Something which Vader had confirmed he could provide.
Being the calculative species that they were, they were completely independent of the Republic and had no need to report about themselves which increased their autonomy. But this limited them to relying on the Republic still.
The Kaminoans performed calculations and came to believe it was less risky to work on their own, as they could have been colonized, lost resources, and undergone a change in culture. The Kaminoans also preserved the land-based species and adapted themselves, their flora, and their fauna to survive on the changed planet.
Again establishing why their species were such great geneticists. Maybe not as ethical as they could be but if scientists had their way with the galaxy everything would be put under the knife to further the survivability of the species.
It just may come under a heavy price.
The first thing the Kaminoans had to do was the creation of the genetic data necessary for the transformation process. They needed to use something for a basis and what better sample then Anakin himself, provided they were to use his genetics for the process.
Using his cells they would then use viral machines to manipulate and shape what his cell samples are to become.
Organs specialized for Anakin, made from Anakin.
He was given a timeframe within which they could complete and perfect the first few implants that he wanted and it should be that within this very year they would complete it.
Taking the first step in becoming a superhuman being.
[]
It was just the year prior she had been celebrated and re-elected to represent her people.
Re-elected as the Queen of Naboo.
Many things had happened over the course of three years, so much so she was starting to feel the overwhelming pressure, but she did not cave. Not once did she break down but had risen from the situations and events presented to here.
With some help, she had even not needed to worry too much about their protection anymore.
The boy known as Anakin had taken up a special place within her heart and for some reason she quite missed the boy.
After the invasion she had many responsibilities to get back too, which included looking after the well being of her people.
Her actions throughout the crisis earned her immense popularity with the people, and the Naboo and Gungans became officially unified during a celebration in Theed, attended by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and by the Jedi whom had protected her.
After the celebration, Padmé was approached by the Jedi Master Qui-Gon who, on behalf of the Jedi Council and in agreement with the Supreme Chancellor, asked her to keep all knowledge of the Sith a secret.
Padme had heard some very weird, or strange rumors circulating within the Republic and no matter how small these voices were she had taken a keen interest once she discovered it had to do with the planet Anakin had come from.
Tatooine.
The planet with which she did not like all too much, the heat was not to her preference and the outlaws that stay in that area, quite not right.
"My Queen, I believe it would be prudent that you stay away from coming in contact with that planet or those in power." One of her advisors had told her.
"From what I have heard, the people of Tatooine have freed themselves of their oppressors and have taken examples from the Republic on how to better their situation."
"While that may be true your highness, in general it should be taken as a rule that systems that have not been included into the Republic are dangerous. Especially those in the Outer Rims."
She did not disagree with that statement, as she had done some research of her own into the political situation within the Outer Rims and there was an empire. An empire run by the Hutt's, infamous in their criminal acts.
"I can not just refuse to help them." Ever the compassionate woman she was concerned with the people there.
Whatever aid she could provide she would try, given the situation on Naboo had gone back to peace and had been prospering ever since their agreement with the Gungans.
"Your highness, I still strongly disagree with anything you would like to do."
"Well, you will just have to deal with it."
What Padme was confused about however was why Tatooine and their elected officials were refusing to become apart of the Galactic Republic considering their situation.
Something even more outrageous to her, well not outrageous but extremely surprising was the object of the people on Tatooines affections.
The Skywalker family.
Even though not alot of people knew exactly of what had happened people had come to know of the ascension from an ordinary family that only comprised of Shmi and Anakin Skywalker into a type of monarchy.
Most of the power was actually given to Shmi, given that Anakin had to give up all worldly things when becoming a Jedi.
But if he were to ever return, he would return a prince. A king. Maybe even an emperor of his own.
Now having a personal connection with the current ruling monarch of Tatooine, Padme had decided to contact Shmi Skywalker.
No doubt she would be struggling to come to terms with her sudden election into power. The people trusted her, but what was even more important was her being the mother of Anakin and her own contributions towards the common folk.
She had established some messages being sent between herself and Shmi, but there was never a time that they could talk in full about what had happened.
"Hello, your highness." Shmi ever the humble and polite woman had addressed her.
"No, it is I that should be calling you by your title." Padme had not informed Shmi of her real identity so she does not know that herself as Padme is in actuality the same as the Queen she is now.
Chuckling to herself, Shmi seems as if she was minorly stressed out from her predicament. "Your highness, I am grateful for your call but am confused as to why you have all of a sudden reached out to me."
Padme decides that discretion will be needed because she still keeps her advisors words in mind. "There is no need to be thankful, you have done more for me then I have done for you. That is why I am willing to repay the favor."
Shmi may not be ready to adapt to a political lifestyle but had been in the business world enough to help cultivate her leadership abilities. "Truly? I dont think we are in desperate need of anything at this moment."
And Shmi was correct in saying this as from all reports everything had been going swimmingly. "Really?" Padme says in a dubious tone before saying. "There must be something, anything really."
"No." Shmi knows better then to divulge now important state secrets to others, even if they are trusted allies.
The Queen to her was obviously only still a stranger she has had some minor dealing with in the past.
"I could help you come to terms with your new position." Padme suggests. "I could provide assistance not in terms of economic or militaristic options but diplomatically and even give advice on how to govern."
Shmi thinks it over, thinking it is actually a good option but decides to one up her deal. "Your highness is very kind but an offer of that sort should be compensated in some way."
"Nonsense. I have no need for anything monetary or of anything else you could offer."
"If I may suggest, I think it would be better to form an official alliance between the two of us. This way there will be a valid reason for your insistence on your providence of assistance."
Padme thinks it is a good idea and berates herself for not coming up with an idea of sorts herself. "Some sort of non-aggression pact?"
"That would be best, your highness given the culture of your people it would not be a good idea for other reasons."
"That is true." Padme with no hesitation agrees. "I believe that settles that, now onto other subjects just to satiate my curiosity."
"What might that be, your highness."
Padme starting to get annoyed at how Shmi was addressing her she first gets this out of the way. "Please Queen Dowager, I think that is enough of the fancy terms of addressing me."
Becoming much more emboldened Shmi decides that what she had said is fine with her. "Ok, then what should I call you?"
Smiling, Padme decides to drop the bomb that Shmi has not become aware of yet. "Just call me Padme."
