Ask Besides Oneself

[Newton]

Newton was sitting in a waiting area accompanied by his faithful companion droid M7 who is at his side. A waiting area at a cloning facility owned by Professor Jaikus Thorne. He arrived on this world not long ago, but there would be a wait. Newton hasn't stepped into a cloning facility before. But he is here to do some business. Not business directly related to Blackwell, but some personal business he wants to take care of.

The megacorp CEO was wearing some casual clothing. He would check his chrono ever so often and look at his smart dataphone here and there. He would see in the headlines that the Sith were pushed off Corellia. He heard the reports about how the droid forces, especially the Super Combat Droids were cleave though the Sith forces with ease. Amazing. Newton sold the droids and they performed as well as he pitched. It makes him satisfied knowing that his work did performed at or above expectations. Newton would make a mental note to ask nicely for some combat data from the droids so he could look into improvements.

That's for later though. Now is the time for his scheduled appointment with the Atlos CEO plus ISC First Gentleman and from there they will get started on things. Newton would be ready.

[Jaikus Thorne]

Jaikus couldn’t deny being somewhat intrigued by the request of Newton Arden. Since launching Atlos into the mainstream, the Axxilan’s business had received a multitude of high-profile contracts - whether it was providing private security forces, individual cloning or medical replacements. While he wasn’t privy to which of those the Blackwell CEO wanted quite yet, Jaikus was positive that Atlos could provide - and that there was an opportunity to forge a beneficial relationship with one of the most powerful corporate executives in the Galaxy.

Rather than waiting in his office, Jaikus opted to meet Newton within the lobby of Atlos’ Vohai headquarters - flanked by two security droids on either side of him. The Blackwell Executive would immediately recognize the Blackwell Models, part of the security detail that - as First Gentleman - Jaikus didn’t go anywhere without.

The Axxilan was dressed in a stylish suit and tie, dark hair straightened and combed neatly into place. His outfit was accessorized with an expensive chrono and simple gold bracelet on his left wrist, an amethyst Consortium pin attached to his lapel.

“Mr. Arden,” Jaikus began with a smile, extending a hand to shake Newton’s own. “It is a pleasure to welcome you to Atlos,” He gestured back towards a repulsorlift that would take them to the top levels of the building. “Please, right this way. We can find a seat and begin to discuss this business.”

 

[Newton]

Newton would catch Jaikus as he approached, who was clearly not taking in chances in regards to security, as he is in great hands with the Blackwell-made security droids. "Thank you, Mr. Throne" Newton would take Jaikus up on his handshake, shaking in firm, friendly business-like manner. "It's a pleasure to meet you and pleasure to be here too" he replied friendly.

As Newton would go towards the repulsorlift as gestured, he would look around the facility. Squeaky clean, nice aesthetics. "This is quite a nice facility you have here." he gave it to Jaikus, and make some friendly small-talk.

The Blackwell CEO would then step on the turbolift, ready to head to the top. Newton has done a lot of thinking before coming here. He wondered and wondered, but Newton is getting old. After doing some research and putting a lot of thought into this, he came to this conclusion. Newton was very eager to get to the top and get seated.

[Jaikus Thorne]

Jaikus flashed Newton a diplomatic and friendly smile, giving the other man a firm handshake. “The pleasure is all mine. Quite the overdue one, I might add,” He grinned. It was the first time the Axxilan had formally been introduced to the Blackwell CEO, despite his long history of business with his husband.

As they began to walk, the Axxilan folded his hands neatly against the small of his back - posture rigid and straight. “You are too kind.”He glanced over out of the corner of his eye, “I am sure you are no stranger to nice facilities, these days.” The man was CEO of one of the Galaxy’s most important corporations. Trillions of credits and assets at his fingertips.

Taking the turbolift to his executive suite, Jaikus stepped out into the top floor after a few minutes of travel - revealing the comfortable office inside. Expensive wood furniture and Axxilan artwork hung from the walls, while the general style seemed to emulate Jaikus’ native homeworld. He gestured to the desk at the end of the room - taking a seat at the chair at the other side.

“Can I offer you something to drink?” He gestured to a droid nearby, carrying a tray of expensive alcohols and beverages for the man to choose from.

“How can Atlos be of service, Mr. Arden?”

 

[Newton]

Newton would smile.

It would be a few minutes before the turbolift reaches the top, this is the time to make sure he has his 'order' ready. Upon seeing the tray of expensive beverages, the Courscanti wasn't too interested in it, but his eyes were drawn to a bottle of Alderaanian wine. "Is that original Alderaanian wine?" He inquired. Now he was interested. That stuff is hard to find these days. It's not shocking that the Thornes would have any of it.

As for how Atlos can be of service, it was time. "Alright then. I would like to commission a clone of... myself." he stated with a stoic look on his face. The Courscanti would pause then contuine. "For my purposes, I need the clone to age normally, from newborn and older at normal rate, no aging modifications, capable of living a full human life-span. Must be also be healthy, pure, no defects. Must be fertile." Every thing that Newton listed was done so with purpose. "Must be... perfect." he ended. No, not just any clone will do. He wants a perfect clone of himself. Nothing less than that will work.

"Can Atlos make it happen?" He wanted confirmation from the CEO. Newton is sure that this may or may not be a tall order but he isn't sure. It could be impossible for all Newton knows. The Courscanti has read when studying the Clone Wars that there were Clone Soldiers that were defective, had deformities. .etc For what Newton has planned he can't have those, he will pay one fortune to have his perfect clone if need be. Now back to to the First Gentlemen/Atlos CEO.
