These last couple of mouth had bean rather good for Vincent, as he watched the centre city being constructed and almost ready to be inhabited. And the rest Kassandra's clan arriving.nothing could have been better for him.
As he now sat cross leged in the middle of the massive newly constructed terrain on the outskirts of the city. Surrounding him a lush and beautiful jungle like environment with animals and insects traversing within. A truly tranquil environment.
As he sat their meditating on the force, his small little companions surrounding him even trying to imitate what he was doing.
As he was deep in focus the system sent Vincent's messages that contained some shocking news to Vincent, as hew opened his eyes and began reading through the messages.
[The individual Anakin skywalker has convinced former Jedi master Obi-wan Kenobi to join his new order.]
[Due to the hosts lack of involvement in this matter no rewards will be given in this case.]
With this statement I began to think it over. And came to a conclusion, though i may have told emperor Anakin the whereabouts of his former master, I did not over step my bounds and try to convince Anakin to make amends with his former master. As at the tine I was not sure of the strength of his heart at the time. In doing so i allowed him to act on his own desires and wishes.
Though I was not anticipating a reward, the fact that I could have could earned further rewards left my in contemplation the meaning adamant. I did not just have to purge Jedi Sith and rebels alike I could also gain reward through positive acts that could better the empire. A realisation that left a pleased smile on my face. As the system continued to report.
[The individual Anakin skywalker has been united with his son Luke for the first time. An action that will strengthen the empire aswell as prevent one of the key figures of the rebellion from destroying the empire.]
[Due to the hosts active persuasion,emperor Anakin will take Luke as his desiple. Reward will he given for your actions.]
[Reward: HEPHAESTUS program(horizon ZD/FW)]
As I heard this I raised by eyebrow with intreast at the reward. And just like before a small spacial desortion apearded before me.
Looking at the spherical orb before me I try to gauge it functions. "What are your functions HEPHAESTUS."
With my question asked the highly advanced Ai fluctuated slightly before in a slightly mechanical voice it responds." It is a pleasure to be at your servere master. As you might be aware this one's main function is to create culdrens,that have the purpose of terrforming a planet by creating machines to fallfill this purpose these may include resources collecting refertilisation of the lands soil aswell as the cleaning and de polluting of the land,sea and air."
This answer put a small smile on my face as not only is the Ai functions still the same but it loyalty towards me is absolute.
The only problem being that it could not be integrated into this planet,But I did have the perfect planet in mind. A planet that has been complete desermated by countless wars, the last conflict fought during the clone wars left the planet almost completely dead with toxic air and water the land become uninhabitable it wqs latter abandoned deemed unsuitable for life.
But thr real chery on the top was that the federation used this planet as another druid manufacturing facility, though a badly damaged one. When the war was brought to the planet a massive battle took place claiming the lives of almost all of those involved. And as the planets environment grew worse all the military equipment was left behind.
With all these factor it quite literally made this planet this most suitable for HEPHAESTUS to get to wok trying to terrorform this planet. And with a few small favours from the emperor I could acquire this planet for myself.
"I may just have the best planet for you HEPHAESTUS one where you could terrorform to your hearts content and create what ever it is that you desire."
"It would be my honour to serve you in this endeavour master."
I continued to communicate with HEPHAESTUS leading more about his functions aswell as teaching gi a bout the new galaxy that it found itself in
It didn't take more then a few days to get approval. The politicians have been using my discovery of a crop that literally refertilisatiers soils to win over the public since I announced it. But then throw in the idea of terrorforming a completely dead planet, permanently scared by wars in to the mix and I started looking like their golden child.
To the politicians of the empire they could use this endeavour even if it fails as a massive publicity stunt to gain favour from just about every sensible govemont across the galaxy.
Though concerned with the fact thay I would be in control of two planet, in there mind the pros defently out way the cons. And with the emperors backing it was a guarantee.
And so here I am flying through the yellow apnosphere of this dead planet. My destination the abandon battle druid factory.
Landing at the abandoned flight deck I equipt myself in full armor that was made to allow me to survive the harsh conditions of this planet.
Stepping out of the ship I'm met with the hot corrosive air of the planet. With pollution levels so high that is hard to see More than a few meter infront of me. The only extra sorce of visibility being the violent thunderstorm above me.
No wanting to be out in the harsh elements I make my way inside the factory. It's hall littered to the corpses of both battle druid and clones alike, a seen that made one think they had walked into a grave yard.
The lack of visibility and harsh weather didn't help much, as it only made the factory feel ever more haunted the it already did.
Arriving at the heart of the factory, I place HEPHAESTUS down giving it complete access to the factory.
" this is where we part way, though I may not able to vist often I will be keeping in contact for regular reports on your progress."
"Though it saddens me I will no longer be in the precence of my master, I will do my utmost to complete the task that you have given to this lowly one." HEPHAESTUS says as it fluctuates slightly.
Looking at the timer on my rist I let out a sigh." I haven't got much time remaining even with this suit I won't be able to say here much longer."
"I have done the most I can for you, this factory will be molded to yout liking and the surrounding areas are littered with material for your use."
As Vincent left HEPHAESTUS speaks."I will will make you proud master."Though not able to hear his determination was strong.
Now left completely along with only it's thought it got to work. Firing the factory back to life allowing the remaing druids to finish assembly that would help In the construction of HEPHAESTUS first culdren.
As time flew by and hours turned into days HEPHAESTUS had partly modified the abandoned factory. Even partly modified HEPHAESTUS was able to begin manufacturing it first machines that would help complete the task that it was given.
The first step that needed to be taken was to gather resources, and as such scrappers glintharks and later shellwalkers where constructed. Disassembling the old war machines that litter the endless battle fieds that are stretched across this planet.
Retrieved materials were then melted down into there primary components so that they could be later be made into other Machines or to improve the culdren.
This would be a leanthky prosses that would most likely take decade to to compete. But thankfully time was something the Ai had in abundance. No matter how long the prosses HEPHAESTUS would complete the task and in the prosses create a macanical utopia that its master would be proud of.
