Chapter 3: Polis Massa Base
Shoshannah starts to ask if such a topic isn't too heavy for the younglings, but then stops. After all they've seen, there is no sense in trying to hide the dangers of the Galaxy from then--and Master Tan is right, that knowing the Jedi had survived such perils before might reassure them. She nods and says, "Yes, I will stop by later today when I have time."

"But for now, let's see what we can pull out of these files," Janos says, turning the conversation back to the task at hand.

The result is much like Jedi Shoshannah suspected.
Code: Select all
PROJECT MORGUKAI
In order to establish a viable counter-measure to the
Grand Army of the Republic's clones, the Confederacy
of Independent Systems classified project proposed to
create our own Shadow Army to oppose the Jedi Order.
Drenzor Cloning facility was an installation, overseen
by the Jedi Master Sora Bulq, was previously used to
train the Separatists Jedi. The cloning process will be
overseen by Chief Scientist Serifa Magrody. Bulq
recruited one of the last remaining Morgukai, Bok who
will be used as the template for a new clone army.
In addition to the Morgukai, who are noted for being
renowned Jedi killers, Bulq recruited Anzati assassin
teachers from Anzat to further train the Morgukai clones
in the arts of stealth and assassination.
Once the initial batch of clones is produced on Drenzor,
we will expand the facilities to produce hundreds of
Morgukai on Saleucami.
Code: Select all
The Republic is laying siege to Saleucami. Their blockage
is preventing critical resources needed to complete the
project. We request immediate aid and support.
- Serifa Magrody
Code: Select all
Reports reveal the genetic engineering processes have
resulted in the same unknown problems as Arkanian
Microtechnologies. The clone's presence frightens
non-sentient creatures and Bulq states they have a
strange Force signature that feels unnatural. While
I cannot confirm Bulq's non-scientific imagination
regarding his "feelings," I believe our processes
need further refinement.
- Serifa Magrody
Code: Select all
Four months since the siege began, and the first batch
has been processed. The minds of the Morgukai legion are
deteriorated and suffers from psychosis. As I requested
before, the clones require at least one standard year and
two standard years for optimum development. The time
schedule is too quick and we will waste our time and
resources if the proper precautions are not taken. They
overpowered Bok and escaped the facility.
- Serifa Magrody
Code: Select all
Bulq has not returned from Saleucami. Bok hasn't been
seen in days. I cannot maintain the facility. My work
is lost and I am abandoning the moon. I have taken
the clone template and scans of our original subject's
brain.

"So basically, we don't want to interrupt the mining teams. If we could deal with those worms, maybe we could use their tunnels to hide? Or as extra storage?" He puts aside a datapad that he put down notes about these ideas. "We have to set up a perimeter before we do anything else. It's about time we deployed those sensor markers."
He gets up and rejoins the main group. "Master Tan? I was brainstorming with the technicians on an evacuation plan. Everything's on this datapad if you want to take a look. Or talk to the techs again, if you feel like it. I'm going out for real this time. To set up a perimeter with some beacons. If anybody wants to come, I'll wait up for a while after I suit up."
He stands around awkwardly for a few seconds and then starts to walk away to do what he said.

Granite has been absent most of the conversations and decrypting, scouting the perimeter of this new base and surveying what defenses, if any, have been established. What he sees isn't impressive, although compared to the Jedi Temple little is, but there's potential.

"We will have to watch for these Morgukai, though it seems as if the program did not go as anticipated. We have enough enemies now as it is."
Janos keys up the next file. "How about Project Blue?"

Shoshannah says, "I hope we don't need to worry about the Morgukai. The project was a failure and the Separatists are no more, so hopefully they didn't make better clones. But you're right--we should keep an eye out for them. We can't be sure someone didn't or won't restart the project, though I imagine now they're more worried about the Empire than they are about us.
"Project Blue, like I said, seems to have involved trying to weaponize the Blue Shadow virus. Let's take a look and hope they failed."

Master Tan thanks Padawan Uri for the datapad and after a few minutes, he smiles. "This is very good work. I believe Jedi Knight Granite was also talking about doing a patrol around the facility." The Jedi Master stumbles a bit with the military wordings of the discussion.

Janos begins work on the second file, but after an hour he is unable to decrypt it's contents and assemble it together. While processing the a copy of the file, his datapad was unable to finish processing as it overheated. It is likely that Janos will need to find some extra computing power to process the next two files.

"My datapad can't handle this," Janos scowls. "Let's head to the lab and see if we can try the file there."

Shoshannah says, "Let's check out the last file first--that's the one I really don't know anything about. And, if you can't crack that here, we can have a go at both when we're at the lab."
