Kapitel 69: V.1-C.69│Interlude II│
Cloning was the process of duplicating an organism into one or many genetically identical individuals known as clones.
An army of clone troopers is being grown on the planet Kamino and Anakin wants in. Well, what he means when he wants in is to be able to get some sway and interfere with the project.
Using the human Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett as a template, the Kaminoans tampered with Fett's genetic structure to make his clones more docile. In addition, they were designed to grow at twice the rate of normal human aging, making the clone troopers ready for deployment in a decade's time.
At this point of time, the clones would only be about three years of age but considering their accelerated growth process they would be about six years of age currently.
Which would mean that Anakin was way past the point of being able to interfere with the process to the extent that he wanted, but that doesn't mean he would be incapable of trying to fix the problem with their brains.
When it comes to his long time companion power, Mechu-Deru, it was and has been shown to be capable enough of extending its helping hand.
Unfortunately it would not be able to influence the created chip within the clones.
Simply because the chip, even though based off of technology and normal stuff like that, it was only indirectly so and in on itself was made up of biological matter. Meaning Mechu-Deru would be near useless for the already created clones.
Anakin would take control of the facilities in the future so when the new clones were developing he would be able to usurp the process but right now it would be too late.
What he would have to do is fully take over the process and then do a medical reexamining of their biological chips and remove them so that they could be free. He would be unable and is unable to do this considering his resources right now are already stretching it thin.
Even if he had enough military might to occupy Kamino, that doesn't mean it would be good for him either, because of his current relationship with them.
Kamino and Tatooine were quite close together so Anakin could have taken a short trip over a with systems to stealthily take over their facilities, but that wouldn't get him anywhere with the current clones.
His time was also limited before he had to return to Coruscant.
This didn't mean he was unwilling to go and would take the opportunity to, just in case redirect the genetic programming done by the Kaminoans.
Anakin was within his room but wanted to head down to his renovated Sith temple beneath because it was much more secure. So he made his way down there so he could establish a connection while posing as Vader because that was how he represented himself to the Kaminoans.
Now suited up he was ready to call in about some of his requests.
Waiting, the Kaminoan he was most in touch with responded because he had made sure to not deal with the head medical chief of their people.
Lama Su was a good enough replacement in that regard, but while Anakin's projects were worked on he needed someone to supervise the situation. Who better than his living medical droids, of course not all of them but some had gone over with top of the line knowledge.
And now they have only gotten better with their experience which also translated to Anakin becoming better with science overall as well.
"What can I do for you?" Lama Su said as they were viewing each other through screens.
"I wish to know of the progress of the Sky-Seed."
"Why, of course." Lama Su was ready and very, very willing to be connected to Vader. He had caught up on the politics of the galaxy a bit recently and was surprised to find that Vader was somewhat connected to the Skywalker family and Tatooine.
Considering their proximity to each other it would be most beneficial to have a nice relationship, not taking into account that Tatooine had somehow gone against the Hutt's and won. This was more than enough reason for Lama to make sure they had a positive mutual friendship.
While Nala Se, their chief medical scientist of Kamino was doing well with the clones that didn't make they were totally secure in their financial outlook.
With options, they could afford a mistake or two.
"We have developed the next two implants and they would be ready when you need them." Lama Su said but was curious about something else and continued. "I am interested though, the cells you have sent are of a Human sample, correct?"
"That is correct." Vader replied.
"I have taken to conducting some extra tests on this sample and what I had found was amazing. It is nothing of which I have never seen before." Lama said.
"What of it?" Vader again replied but didn't seem to mind Lama's curiosity.
"I was interested in the genetic makeup and it is of the standard Human genetics but there was something more. The midi-chlorians, something which we have grown prone to testing for due to certain reasons... and I must say that this was surprising." Lama said.
Lama continued. "We needed to create device capable enough to measure it, and the count per cell exceeding my expectations and those who were also looking into it."
"Using these cells in combination of those implants, we have theorized and hypothesized that it would be capable enough to uplift someone else's count per cell simply because of it overwhelming amount."
"That is interesting." Vader replied with a bland tone but was actually interested himself as this could spell the creation of a Force-sensitive army of people if used correctly.
Remembering his Synthetic beings and that he wanted the droids to transfer consciousness into a proper biological body, but do so after having the bodies evolve and adapt with the Sky-Seed implants, he couldn't be anymore happy at this revelation.
This would mean that they would not lose out on retaining their ability to use the Force and it would not be in direct violation of the rules the Force so heavily reinforces. It had backlashed on Plagueis trying to use the dark side of the Force in another way it didn't like so it created him.
Supposedly.
But through this way, it is of a tried method before. An example dating back to those crazy enough to try and increase another beings Force-sensitivity through blood transfusions and it worked with minimal success.
This would be no different in principal, but may have a much greater and more profound effect.
Vader decides to question about the synths and the rate of their completion. "How soon do you think we can finish the complete graph and set of Sky-Seed implants?"
"Well, given that there are a grand total of 19, and we have completed the first 5, it would seem that we will be ready in no time for every stage, with extra time to spare." Lama answered. "In fact we have already started work on the next implants."
"How long until I can use these next 2 then?" Vader asked.
"Well, for the Human child going through this, it would need to be between the ages of 12-13 for one and 12-14 for the other, so there are some limits or time constraints to these amazing genetic discoveries."
A reason why these implants could actually work was because the Humans of this universe have great genetic malleability. One of the reasons the Kaminoans decided it was fine cloning Humans instead of any other species was exactly because of this.
"You are aware of the synths and what I wish to do with them." Vader said in a questioning tone.
"Yes, I think I know where you are going with this and I have already confirmed that it is possibly to use the implants on the synthetics." Lama Su responded.
"I have another thing to report though. I need to send into a few other cellular sample because the old ones would be considered old." Vader continued.
"Old? I dont believe that applies here." Lama tried to correct Vader.
Vader responds. "I do believe it does, considering since the last time a sample was delivered one key factor has changed from the original sample."
"And what would that be?" Lama asks with some interest.
"The midi-chlorian counts have changed, in fact it has increased by a substantial amount and I would like you to use the new cells available."
Lama's eyes widen enough for Vader to make out the difference through the screen separating the both of them. "Really?! That should be impossible! How did this happen?"
"Lets just say that some interesting events had taken place to allow for something like this."
"By how much did it increase since last time? The sample we have here, we were able to create a machine to specifically test the count per cell and it read at 36900. How much higher could it possibly go." Lama was very excited at this prospective discovery.
"Take that number and increase it by a third." Vader responded with some amusement in his modulated voice.
"49200!" Lama was still recovering from the shock of such a thing but then noticed a little discrepancy. "How did you figure this out?"
"I have technology of my own to do advanced medical diagnosis and do you also not remember my medical droids I had sent over?" Vader answered.
"Of course! How could I forget that, but to have a midi-chlorian count so high, the genetics of this person, or more like the cellular structure of this being must have a great capacity to hold all of those extra micro-organisms." Lama was now starting to rant because even though he is the current leader of the Kaminoans that doesn't mean he is also not interested in more scientific matters.
It is something that is deep rooted in their society.
Lama continues. "Send over this sample as soon as possible, I would very much look to investigate how exactly this Human's cells are stable enough and have such an unlimited capacity for all of that."
"Right away, I will get it done and I would like for you to fashion the next two implants using this updated sample as well." Vader replied with a request.
"Why, of course." Lama readily agreed.
The rest of the conversation between the two would include some medical examinations and explanations that most without some degree in the sciences wouldn't understand. Especially when it came to genetics, biology and alot of other stuff when it came to designing his synthetic army to be.
The plan was to introduce a new piece of consciousness and Force-sensitivity suppression technology that would stop the growing bodies from developing their own souls or consciousness.
This would allow for Anakin to proceed with the transfer process without having to kill off another soul.
The problems however with the accelerated aging process would be the same as with the clones and Anakin, his living medical droids and or the Kaminoans would have to find a way around this.
'For now, everything has been proceeding to plan.' Anakin thought to himself after dealing with the very anti-social and distant Kaminoans.
'Within another month or so, I should have the two next implants to further along the development of my body.' The first three were starting to have dramatic effects, increasing his physical capabilities overall but other parts would be needed to complete the process.
Thankfully his healing factor was by far the most advanced out of any person alive, considering his Nanosuit, Force healing abilities, reinforced dark and light side magicks influenced physique and medical technology.
There would be next to nothing to worry about when it came to hiding the results.
[]
Given his lustful nature that had become more pronounced Anakin was slightly surprised and not at the same time because of his resilience to the pull of natural urges.
It would seem that his lasting this long would finally come to an end today.
'The House of Virtue.' A sign was read within his mind as he had finally decided to put an end to his 12 year long abstinence. It was involuntary of course because what were you to do with a part that didn't work because you hadn't started to hit puberty yet.
He wasn't a playboy within his previous life for nothing after all, so he headed in with no hesitation.
"Why, hello there handsome." A Twi'lek woman walks by giving Anakin a good look at the 'goods' and winking towards him.
Anakin had hidden his features by projecting the Force and masking his face with another, a fake face crafted to make sure others didn't know he came here. It wouldn't look good for his image as a Jedi, now would it and he especially gaining traction now with some fame.
Walking towards a counter, Anakin decides to get straight to business. "I would like to procure some services."
"Anything for the right amount." The woman behind the counter replied.
"Of course." Anakin then payed for the services to come and he had a feeling that he may last a very long time considering all the enhancements done to his body he wouldn't be surprised.
What would happen was a few 'working women' would come along with Anakin to a privately selected room where alot of fun would happen and an entire night would pass by as Anakin had to rediscover himself.
Rediscover and work on some skills that may have atrophied over the long years.
Thankfully it wouldn't take too long for him to finish up, well it did but what he had meant by finish up is that the 'working women' that had come along for the ride were worn out. Tired from the action and wouldn't go on any longer.
Walking from outside the private room, Anakin starts to walk away from the interesting business. "Wait!" A sleepy and very sexy looking Twi'lek followed after him. "Will you be coming another time?"
Considering that Anakin was only here to satiate his lust, he would probably come again if not to another establishment but he answered another way. "No." He didn't want to build up any hopes of starting some kind of relationship.
They may be people as well but Anakin was not looking to get involved with them, and would only do so as one off's. The Twi'lek seemed to be visibly disappointed because she had a great time, better then all of the customers she had interacted with before.
"Please reconsider." She tried to be as seductive as possible and it might have worked for some other men, but Anakin was not interested.
He just walked off and disappeared as the sun of Coruscant was starting to rise.
