Ukume Meww was a little nervous, as she waited outside of the larger detached villa that was her actual home, within the resort. There where 24 guest villas, plus her own. The Jedi was in elegant business ware, but as usual had both of her lightares with her, causally covered by an elegant jacket. She was expecting the head of the Galactic Republic, something that did not happen often. They where to discuss business matters relating to the inevitable upcoming war.
Ukume hated and despised war, and never forget that is was due to war that her parents where killed, it was due to war that she was been experimented on and tortured, and it was due to war that centuries ago, an entire generation of Jedi where near totally wiped out from existence. And yet, war was one of the reasons that her Aerospace and Defense company still thrived.
It was nearly 1 PM, and the meeting was to start at 1 PM, with a max waiting time of only 15 minits. She however should have been calm, her lawyer was inside already as well as a servant droid, as she was not keen on having a biological person server her, as she found that a waste of personal time for the person, and instead had a droid serve her. As greedy as it may have sounded, she had a few types of droids work for her, this way she could save a lot on salaries. But she also hired many great and outstandingly skilled and experienced biological people, something witch she spared no expenses on, like at the front desk or her resorts and hotels. One could not replace the charming smile of a Togruta female, with the chrome and simple programming of a B-1 droid, for example.
She looked around and only saw two battle droids, a B2 Super Battle droid and a B1 droid, patrolling around her villa and the small garden of her villa, something that was sort of separated from the resort, but still as a part of it. She once again glanced over herself, and hope that she would not scare her business partner away.

Kross had a meeting that was arranged with a Jedi, but unlike what might be more normal as a meeting of preparing military matters with Jedi Generals, this was in a way a matter of business. War would be upon them and Getran knew they'd need every resource they could get their hands on, and fortunately, this individual seemed to have some. He already knew he was already going to be late even as his ship closed in, he would not come with many, landing in a small transport ship with just a few other troopers, only one of which who accompanied him as he walked swiftly towards where they were set to meet, he was also not very armed and was mostly to make people feel better about how protected he might be. He let out a groan, he knew he would be off by around two minutes. Not a lot, but it really bothered him. He wore full body clothing, along with gloves, unfortunately he hadn't had the time to get any artificial skin to cover them to make him seem more human. Meaning the best thing to do was hide them for the moment, they always got the skin destroyed so he'd resorted to wearing long clothing more often then not. Though armed, it was not incredibly so, not for a soldier at least. Two blaster pistols and a sheathed vibro-sword at his side, the sheath of which assisted in making it appear to be mostly ceremonial. He wasn't concerned about combat, it was just instinct to carry weapons on him every day. Getran paused before finally preparing to enter, taking in a breath to calm himself. And then moving forwards. If there were conditions he was supposed to follow to enter, a knock on the door, a ring of the doorbell, waiting to be let in, he would do so. Whatever the circumstances, he would eventually enter and his eyes would take in the situation. The B2 Super battle droid and B1 had really not been very disturbing. That was rather minimal security in his opinion, but still, it'd keep out most thief's. And this was a Jedi after all. Eventually he would come to see the woman. And even with his increased speed of mind, he'd pause or a second taking in the hybrid female. That was truly intriguing, multiple arms, but a Togrutan head, and even tails. He wouldn't judge her for her biological differences, he was mostly robotics he didn't have a right to judge anyone for how they looked, "Greetings, I apologize for being late, unfortunately I was a bit caught up things are very busy right now." he said honestly, and nodding his head towards her. The Trooper stepped out and away, he'd simply go sit down and wait, he was not needed right now so he might as well also relax. "I am very eager todo business with you, it's not often I hear of a Jedi who is actually able to supply help to the Republic more then joining the fight."ukume

When she finally saw him and his escort, Ukume entered 'business mode', her nervousness being gone in seconds. " Greeting Mr. Kross, i thank you for coming. " She smiled, being actually honored to meet him in person. A second later, she nodded and her smile dissapeared. "Yes... the coming war is... not plesant for either of us. " Ukume spoke and opened the door, inviting him inside.
Before she also went inside, she gently pulled the sleeve up on her cybernetic arm and speed dialed the security station, being answered in a few seconds. " Please revert back to full security for my villa, thank you. " Uku said, and meant that instead of one pair of droids the villa would have three pairs of droids and 4 clone troopers. Sure, it may have seemed a bit over protective, but she was still concerned for her security. She then fixed her sleeve, still somwwhat embarresed by the fact that she has one of her arms made of cybernetics. While she was much more open about her unique features withing her assets, she was still embarresed about it when meeting new people.
Once inside, Uku led the person, to her living room, where her lawyer, a middle ages and pretty attractive female lawyer was already waiting. And there was water and small servings of different nuts on the table. "Would you care for some coffee or tea? " Uku asked him. While she was not bothered by the fact that the head of the Republic was a cyborg, she was slightly unsure it he was able to consume foods, but knew that, probably yes.
" I am eager to close a deal as well, and for a Jedi, it is extremely rare to own a business, let alone a business of such size, so it is my pleasure in assisting in matters other then actual fighting... both of witch i have done... for a very long time." She spoke and smirked remembering her earlier wars for a few moments, before focusing back in the the present.

He nodded his head again as she welcomed him, and as she mentioned the war. Truly, truly troublesome. He knew people would die, many people. No matter how great a strategist you were, people always seemed to die. He leaned his head forwards slightly as he saw her cybernetic arm as she called for security back to normal. And smiled slightly to himself, well, that made him a bit more comfortable about his own cybernetics. Even if only somewhat. As they walked, Kross saw the lawyer, another woman, awaiting them. Along with the water and nuts. He nodded as she offered tea, "Oh, yes please." he said gratefully. He did indeed consume food and liquid, while his limbs were mostly cybernetic and ran on a type of battery, his body still required sustenance, even if only to a lesser extent. The matter of the deal came up, along with a past of fighting and business. "Yes it's quite unusual, but certainly not unwelcome. I always kind of assumed there was some...religious reason the Jedi did not seem to venture into such areas much." he said furrowing his brow in thought, he turned his head slightly to the woman lawyer, "Anyway, I suppose you're here to take an extra look at the deal?" he asked, before splitting his attention back between the two, "It's a pleasure to meet you both I'm quite limited in my time so sometimes things skip my mind. In any case I suppose we should get started, you did say you were eager so I suppose we should."He breathed in pulling out a data pad, in it there was a great deal of what the Republic was looking for. Not all of it would need to be supplied by one person, rather it was essentially a shopping list, of what could be paid for so much of what, and what the limit of so many things would be, "I hoped this would help give an additional idea of what we're trying to work with. Of course, we're splitting our funding to multiple groups to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, but you all still get paid appropriately I believe. This does only show basic data however, further deals I prefer to discuss in person. Otherwise I'd have just sent this to you. But...actual contact with other people just seems better." ukume,

When he said that he would like to have tea, Uku nodded and looked at the female droid servant that was on the other side of the loving room. She walked over to it. "Have some tea prepared, please. " She then walked back to him. " Well, not religion, but the Jedi are a monostaric order, and outside conections or strong influences are best to avoid, as that could lead to to falling to the Dark Side. Such as our fear for a loved one, for example. " Ukume explained. As hi asked the other female, she nodded,smiling gently and got up. " Yes, indeed. Nice to meet you, Mr. Kross, i am Maria Rogers, i will just run over the papers one last time and see to it that everything is acording to regulations. " She said and then sat back down, waiting.
Ukume unintentionally smiled as he said that he is limited in his time, witch was pretty ironic, as the Jedi unfortunately had limitless time, something she had no choice over, but nodded. " I understand, yes, let us begin, have a seat, Mr. Kross. " Ukume invited him to sit, and she would only sit down after he was seated. It was out of politeness.
She took the data pad and as she scrolled over the list, she grew impressed. " That is quite a list there, and i totally understand your desire to have multiple suppliers. " Uku said and then looked at the list, thingking for several seconds. " We could supply a 25% to up to 40% of these ships, droids, starfighters and gunships too, and a fair deal of these weapons, a smaller part of the required ammo... we are able to deliver up to 20% of the innitial order, even before the war starts, and most of the rest, in the first 6 months of the conflict." She said, clearly knowing the production capabilities of her company.

He held open his hands apologetically when she mentioned it not being a religion, "Apologies. It certainly seems quite close to most." he said honestly. Nodding again towards the other female as she explained her presence. He would sit carefully in the chair as she said so, and awaited as she'd go over the list. He would nod yet again in mention of the list, pondering her mention of what it was they could supply. She seemed to know what the limits and strengths of her company were, or she was the most blatant negotiator with false statistic. "I believe that can work, in particular it is the droids and weapons that are currently of necessity. But having additional assistance is ships is also important. This keeps things simple, but before we try and work out the details, and I believe that 30% of the mentioned and the following statement will work." He said before setting a hand down on his knee, "I was wondering how you do with more custom or newer ships? Currently, this has mostly been applied to Republic Technology. However I'd like to keep them preforming more innovations then trying to keep up with our own designs. If you would be able to work with additional technology to create newer models of technology the Republic would deem particularly useful, that would certainly be quite useful." he added. ukume,

Uku nodded as she was told that it was mostly droids and weapons that Kross would need, but would naturally also need different ships. She listened carefully to him and for a moment paused when she head that Kross might also be interested in custom ships. Uku however did not like to interrupt anybody and waiting until he was finish speaking. She then thought for a few long seconds. "30% of the given amount is well within the capacities of our factories, production plants and the 6 larger shipyards. The yards have the size and means to produce even the largest ships, something that not many other Shipyards are capable of. Newer ships are not an issue to produce... but unfortunately, we are unable to built custom ships in time to be combat ready. Any new technology has to be tested extensively, applied, and tested extensively once again, for it to be reliable in combat. " Ukume said. She wanted to continue, but head the servant droid approach with tea and a wider selection of teabags. The female droid spoke before placing the tray down on the coffee table " Tea is being served. " She said and then went out of the room. Uku casually reached out and caually started eating some of the nuts that where there. She was at home, in the first place. She looked over the list again, with one of her free hands. " From small weapons, to ship and planetary heavy turbolasers... in my experience extensive planetary defenses, especially of Courascant, are essential. " Uku spoke, remembering the times when either Courascant fell or the Jedi temple and Senate was invaded. Kross ,

He nodded again as she explained more about what her shipyards were capable of, including how they would do with custom or newer ships. It would help to have another producer of their ships, just in case. "Understandable. That's perfectly fine, in general custom ships require more time and more safety measures." he turned his head slightly as a droid arrived with the tea tray and put it down on the coffee table, "Ah, thank you." he said Kindly, even if it was a droid, it was natural instinct for him to be polite. He would select one and put it in a cup pouring the hot water in and waiting for it to seep through while stirring slightly. He let out a slight grunt at the comment about Coruscant, "No doubt, as the capital it requires additional support. Of course, along with it's natural planetary defenses and forces it already has. We'd be supplementing it with the Grand Army. Make certain it is never left unguarded or unforgotten. We're paying close attention to it. Can never be to safe." He said sipping the tea slightly after breathing in near it to test how hot it was, smiling and nodding gratefully, "Anyway, right, when do you think we could begin? And additionally, if we supply you with new designs we want built on a larger level then their designers, how fast do you think you could manufacture them. Particularly in regards to things like gunships, battlecruisers, and the like." ukume,
