『Millenia, the Third』

It was a day later, Meetra and Revan had taken up temporary residence within the City of Naboo Theed. A place for them to see what the galaxy had become in their absence, a galaxy that long forgotten them or believed them for dead. Not even the Jedi Council knew of their existence as of yet, and it would sure be a surprise if they wanted to show their faces to the politically consumed Order. This world though, this galaxy, it was different from the world that they remembered in their past. Naboo had just been a colony, one that constantly fought against itself, now it was a flourishing Monarchy with millions of people.

Today was the day for the Jedi Knight Obiwan Kenobi and Master Qui-Gon Jin to arrive. Ento, Vaylin and Dooku stood in front of the central holoprojector within the main hold.

"My young apprentice, what is it you wished to show me?" The soon to be Count of Serenno stood beside the young man, looking over the projector, a relic, of the past.

"T3-C4, initiate contact with Foundry," The utilities droid whistled aloud as it had joined them, connected with the communications terminal within the projector and did as instructed.

Within milliseconds, a blue hologram appeared.

"Greetings Masters," Gemini had made her appearance before the three of them. Her eyes moved immediately to Master Dooku, a cautious expression on her face, before noting the presence of Ento and Vaylin. With their presence, she calmed down almost immediately.

"Good to see you Gemini, how long has it been?"

"Three thousand, six hundred and ten years since we last spoke. The Foundry is in working condition, we have assimilated all nearby uninhabited matter for use in miscellaneous construction." She reported without having to breath, as she was merely a human simulant, not a true breathing person. It was rather awkward to hear.

Dooku was immediately interested in what she was speaking of. "Foundry?" He was curious, he had never heard of such a machine, a station, or whatever it was.

"It's an ancient factory created by a long dead civilization," Gemini gestured towards Dooku as it spoke, a faint smile across her lips. Every expression she made was genuine, which caught the old man's eye despite the fact she was a droid. He could feel that she wasn't human.

"I see... And you acquired this how?" Dooku raised a brow and looked over at Ento.

"It was originally supposed to be where Revan was slain by the Sith... Instead, we absconded with both him and the station." Ento shrugged at his Master who was beginning to scowl.

Gemini let out a small bout of laughter, seeing the interactions.

"Has there been any hardships for these thousands of years? Are the people of Weik knowledgeable of your existence?" The boy tilted his head to the side slightly, looking over the droid which stared right back at him.

"No, Master. We have however subtly manipulated their society to be readily uplifted into forming a planetary government, as their feudal state wasn't efficient to rule. Their astronomers have prophesied you as their future leader, the one who will lead them to the stars." The droid chuckled at the idea of him being a mythological being, knowing that he was just an organic that had been born and raised like any other. Or at least that is what she had merely she assumed.

Dooku's brows raised hearing that the individuals who had lived for three thousand years had manipulated an entire primitive culture into worshipping a being they had never seen or met.

Ento's lips parted, not really understanding why the droid had done such a thing. Though it could be considered useful as he rose to be the Imperator of a Grand Protectorate Empire. "Does... That mean I'm going to have a lot of fanatical followers?"

"...Just like my father," Vaylin said blankly as she kept a sharp gaze at the droid.

"Yes, many of the people have already formed an Order in which to follow you."

Clenching his jaw nervously, Ento really didn't know how to take this. "They're not going to challenge me with trials to prove who I am... Right?"

Gemini glanced to the side briefly, emulating a cough into her fist, callously. "No, Master. Not at all." Those words hardly sounded truthful, if anything he was pretty sure she was being sarcastic.

Clearing his own throat, Ento nodded to the droid. "In several hours we will be enroute for Serenno, in the D'Astan Sector. I would like you to place the Foundry in the Nez Peron System and begin assimilating the asteroids present there."

Suddenly someone else appeared in the hologram, it was none other than HK-47 in a new chassis free of scars. "Inqirey: Organic Meatbags, is my Master present?"

"Yes, Assassin Droid, Revan is presently on board, speaking with an old friend of yours."

After several seconds, the droid nodded. If he had been in a human form like Gemini, Ento could only assume he was smiling with pride and wholesome joy.

"Grateful Statement: Thank you, Petulant Organic Meatbag. You have done this droid a great deed." The droid left the holographic lens, vanishing from view.

Gemini just watched as the droid walked away off screen, before turning her head to face the young man once more. "Our course will be set shortly, do you have any other commands, Master?"

For a instant Ento was contemplating on whether or not to have more of the HK droids built. Then shook his head. While it would be good to have them scouring across the galaxy looking for Palpatine, he didn't want them to fall into the wrong hands. Even if their matrix couldn't be replicated by normal means.

His eyes turned to Dooku, who in turn looked at him as well.

"When we rendezvous with you, we'll give you further instructions," Ento said as he shifted his gaze to look at Gemini from the corner of his eye.

"Yes, Master. Right away." Gemini bowed stiffly before the transmission terminated on its own.

"Assassin Droid?" Dooku was interested in the idea of using such a thing. He had long since wanted to correct or even fix the Republic's corrupt nature. Though he knew it probably wouldn't be the best thing to do, considering how the Galaxy was going to change soon.

"Hmm... Death will only lead to open doors to welcome more corruption in the guise of false securities and detentions of liberties," Ento seemed to know what he was thinking and agreed with Dooku's after thoughts. It wasn't the best way.

"Perhaps..." Dooku scratched his chin before walking towards the airlock. "We have a few hours until the Jedi arrive. Wouldn't you like to go see your friend, the Queen?"

Vaylin and Ento looked at one another before smiling, it sounded like a good idea to them.

Vaylin was the first to grab onto Ento's hand as she pulled him along. They went barreling on by the Jedi Master and went right out the door as it automatically opened for them.

As they exited the vessel, there were plenty of people admiring it from up close and afar. It had appeared overnight and no one seemed to know where it came from. When they saw the two teens come rushing out, and one of them in particular being known as their hero, there were some Ooo's and Ah's. Some people even cheered at the sight of them, and it calmed quite a few conspiracy theorists in a matter of seconds.

Clear of the crowds and walking up the long steps to the front of the Palace, Vaylin was humming to herself. She liked holding onto Ento's hand, it felt as if she wasn't going to go anywhere else, unless he took her there.

Ento on the other hand was enjoying the change. Since his time on Tatooine, he had never spent so much time with girls his age. Most of his time he had spent with adults, so this was refreshing.

Though he was curious about getting to know Meetra and Revan, he was sure he had all the time in the world to get to know them individually. That and he still held interests in that HK unit, its personality matrix was something he marveled over in his mind.

As he glanced over his shoulder towards the vessel, he could see Dooku stepping out, taking his time as he did so. His eyes moved towards the crowd and gave a light wave.

As the boy's Jedi Master, who had been present on the ship, he too was celebrated. Dooku took in their cheers, basking in the spotlight. Only to glance over towards his Apprentice just before he vanished through the archway as the big doors closed behind him.

He was sure the young man was going to go far, farther than he could ever truly envision.

Plagueis crept over towards the Airlock and peered down towards Dooku, raising a brow inquisitively.

Dooku turned his head and looked to the former Muun and grinned, giving a light gesture for the man to follow after him.

The Sith Lord nodded, standing tall, he padded on down the ramp. Joining at the Jedi Master's side. There were sure some interesting glances in his direction. No one had seen his 'species' before, though it could be made relative to some existing ones.

The Sith species were now nothing more than myth and fairy tales that kept children up at night. Especially the offshoot religion created by the Dark Jedi who enslaved them.

The two also made their way towards the Palace, their destination being the Royal Hangar.

It was time for some well deserved Nectar.
