"Sophia! The Kraken!" Both Spartan immediately take defensive postures. "Where is our ship?"
"It's in the hanger and before you freak out we took a look at some of the data. Don't worry though most of it didn't make sense to the Kaminoans so the data is safe. All we got was something about enhancements."
"You got nothing else about it? How do we know you're not lying?"
"Because we released you, and told you we did it."
Dom relented a bit. "Meaning you released us to get that information? Dom and Sophia kept there guards up making sure they kept scanning the room in case anyone were to make any movements.
"I'm Jango Fett, a Mandalorian bounty hunter. This is Lama Su the Kaminoan Prime Minister, your currently located on the world of Kamino in one of there Cloning Facilities."
This time both Spartans were surprised more information they received that didn't make much sense to them.
"Spartan-017 Dominick of the UNSC"
"Spartan-015 Sophia of the UNSC"
The standoff lasted for a good hour before people began to relax a little. Dom and Sophia learned a little bit of where they are located. The promise of getting in contact with Diesel from Jango helped smooth things sightly. Although Dom would keep his guard up the entire time.
--Arriving on Coruscant Diesel--
Five years after arriving in this universe, Diesel has been doing nothing but expanding his influence thanks to the efforts of Ril'ah. Ril'ah did whatever he could to get Diesel's name in the news. Naboo, Mandalor, and now these Military Academies. He's here to convince the Senate to allow him to build one of his Academies for the younger generations on Coruscant. This Academy would focus on the kids who are homeless or in an orphanage.
The main problem being the Republic had a history with the Mandalorians and it wasn't a good one. The Senate was afraid of him gathering too much power. Diesel had Padme and Duchess Satine express support on his behalf. They stated that this would be just everyone and be useful for everyone to have military training. He wanted to give everyone a fair shot. This would help get some of the kids off the streets.
The Academies nowadays have expanded in many different areas. Military (Ground), Navy (Space), Technology, Engineering. Most of what they learned would be the basic military knowledge. This would allow for people in the Republic to be more knowledgeable in case anything happens. However, the Senate did everything in their power to limit the amount of influence that the Mandalorians had in other systems.
--Back on Kamino--
"Dom is it? As of right now I'd suggest leaving Diesel alone, he is doing everything in his power to build something up. Adding fuel to the fire may set off a chain reaction. I mean I don't know about you two but his combat prowess compared to most is insane. Having three of you would definitely make others worried."
"We cannot return home. What do you suggest we do?"
"Hello, I didn't properly introduce myself. I'm Lama Su. I know the data isn't sometimes your gonna be willing to share. But if you'll allow us to research your ship, you may stay here. If you wish you may take a look at our clones."
"Clones? I remember you mentioning that before. What are you cloning?"
"Come take a look."
"If you're gonna check out the Facility I'll return to my quarters."
"Thank you Jango." After parting ways with Jango, Lama Su led the two Spartans around the facility showing them a magnitude of things. Clones everywhere, this completely stunned the two Spartans. If they are able to create clones on this scale that were remotely decent at fighting. How would the Covenant fair? Would they be able to win?
"They are all modified to be loyal to the republic and will always follow orders. They are the perfect soldiers. There are many types of specialized units also expanding from underwater to space. There is nothing they cannot do."
Lama leads to the training ground and shows a squad of clones completing a course. Dom watches them intently. He wanted to learn more about them and this new place. The area was a long stretch with a couple guard towers on it. There were many practice droids walking across the long area. The clones move from place to place slowly making their way to the goal. Once the clones finished a timer was displayed at the 8:57 seconds course record.
"Lama Su, may we try this course?"
