31 Accelerated (2/2)
Inside was a pair of black cargo pants with soft inner lining, combat boots and a turtlenecked leotard similar to that of Riané's outfit. There was also a chromium lightweight chassis and a black poncho.
It was as if he had it all prepared for her.
”Precognition...” Riané almost chuckled seeing the Princesses priceless surprised looking face.
Leia let out a light sigh and shook her head before looking out the viewport as the engines came to life. ”Do I have t–” She was cut off as the ship began to move forward, sending her onto her rear end.
”Sorry, didn't turn the inertia dampeners off.” Valad apologized sheepishly before looking over at Riané whom had sat down right before he had gotten them to take off. A grin forming over his lips slightly as he saw a white dress go flying passed his peripheral vision.
Once they were clear of the ship, the Scimitar would jump into hyperspace for a few seconds before coming back out over the planet of Kamino. There was barely any traffic as the Galaxy's many public maps had been tempered with, the planet deleted off the galactic map.
Breaking through the storm clouds, they began their descent towards the planet of Kamino's capital Tipoca City. With heavy winds and harsh storming conditions, the Scimitar almost effortlessly touched down on one of the many platforms and locked itself down.
Once landed, Valad was comfortable enough to put on some shinguards and knee pads which matched his armor chassis and battle boots. He had Leia do the same as Riané was already wearing some.
Riané put her helmet and lowered her range finder, pointing it infront of herself. She proceeded to pull her poncho's hood over her helmet.
Valad armed the three of them with F-11D carbine rifles, the two force sensitives hiding their lightsabers in their gauntlets. If they looked like Jedi to Jango Fett, it would tip Dooku off should he knew of the plot.
Entering the lower deck, the airlock would open and the scent of salt would fill the air. Lightning and thunder which had once been muffled by the hull of the ship, sounded fluid and real.
The three began to step out as the loading ramp lowered and they found themselves on the soaking world. Looking one way and the other, they would smirk lightly as they saw a Kimanoan standing at the door.
The three Mandalorian armor wearing people began their trek across the platform and towards the entrance of the city. Half of the Droids forming a Semi-circle around the ship, to guard it from intruders. Not that there would be many on this water filled planet.
”Greetings Mandalorian Warriors, what brings you here?” Lama Su, the Prime Minister asked as he invited them inside. Though once they were in, they lowered their ponchos and looked at the Kaminoan.
”We're interested in ordering several batches of force sensitive clones, spliced from my companions' DNA,” Valad was aware that there had been force sensitive Kaminoans and that the Kaminoan population could only breed through the use of cloning. The irony of that was rather terrible.
Blinking a few times as this Minister heard that these individuals were force sensitive, they slowly nodded. ”Would you like them tampered with accelerated growth?” The man asked, staring down at them as he was much taller than the young humans before him.
”Accelerated growth until they have the biological age of ten years old. Gender doesn't matter. Three batches of ten is what we're looking for.” It appeared Valad liked the number ten. He was just waiting for the Kaminoan to ask 'cash or credit' though doubted he would.
Valad was mainly doing this as a distraction. At the same time, he knew that within three months, he'd have three more batches of force sensitive children at his disposal.
”You're going to use me as a partial template?” Leia asked as she looked over at Valad with a brow raised. She was rather curious about this and only winced from the sudden pricking of her skin by the Kaminoan.
Riané giggled at her, before wincing herself when she was pricked by the device which took in her genetic template.
”Please, follow me.” The Minister would lead them through the facility, revealing the cloning tanks and various other areas within the vacinity.
Valad had his head lowered, his face obscured by the hood of his poncho. His eyes were closed and he was reaching out. Trying to figure out the place he needed to go. His idea was obviously to learn where they were making the inhibitor chips which would be used to indoctrinate the Clone Army into exterminating the Jedi Order.
