Devlin raises an eyebrow.
He began to try and think of a plan to free Keda from her jailers without alerting the doctor's projection.
"And what would you do with freedom? Fight and kill Jedi?"
He watches her warily, but also attempts to slyly monitor Crix.

*Keda shrugged her shoulders.*
"I don't know what I'll do. What does one do with freedom? I've never truly experienced it in my life."
*From the corner of her eye she could see Crix typing on a datapad. This was normally never a good sign.*

Devlin shrugs.
"Hard to say. I have it and I waste it. I sit all day in meditation."
He focuses the Force on the holoprojector in an attempt to lift it off the ground and throw it at Keda...knowing she'll probably duck. He reaches toward the holoprojector with his left hand and then moves his hand toward Keda.
It wasn't the best weapon to toss at an opponent, but it was the closest. And the lightest. Plus, it might smash easily. Though what that would do to or for Keda, he didn't know. This plan wasn't very well thought out.
"That's the nice thing about freedom, it let's you do whatever you want."

*Keda watched Delvins hand make a quick movement as her tossed the holoprojector at her. Instinctively she raised her blade and cut the holoprojector in half. The devices instantly shut off and bounced across the floor in two clean cut pieces. Keda stared at the projector, then at Devlin, her eyes filled with fear.*
"Oh, no. That's not good, not good at all." *She took several steps back and looked around the room almost panicked.*

Devlin frowns.
"Take a few breaths."
He watches Keda carefully. He remains in his modified Makashi stance and keeps his lightsaber blade between himself and his adversary.
"What'd I do? How bad is it?"
Really, he wasn't certain. Partially, he was concerned; perhaps the good doctor would deactivate Keda. Partially, he was curious; was Keda still monitored?

*Keda turned back to Devlin.*
"The transmission was cut! When that happens I get injected with suppressants and then go into an automated fight or flight mode."
*A small red light began to glow softly,at first slow then quickly picked up speed until it stayed solid. With a soft hiss a small canister built into her armor began to inject a blueish green liquid into her. Keda winced in pain as the liquid entered her body and began to fog her mind. She dropped to her knees in pain, her fingers tried to grip the floor.*
"I need..to get out of here, I'm losing control."

Devlin extinguished his lightsaber and knelt beside Keda.
"Let me help."
This was, after all, his fault.
"There must be something we can do to neutralize the injection. Can I restrain you and wait out its effects?"

*Devlins voice was nothing more then background noise now. Her body stopped shaking and her eyes showed less life. In a hollow mechanical voice she spoke softly.*
"Defense protacol one dash thirty eight activated."
*Her right hand shot out in an attempt grab Devlins throat in a choke hold.*

Devlin's left hand reacted with reflexes hone by years of Jedi training. He attempted to knock Keda's right hand away to his left.
"Yep, definitely in trouble."
He didn't want to hurt her, but didn't know a way to quickly incapacitate her without harming her.
"Keda, listen to me. I want to help you. You don't need your defensive protocols."
It was times like this that he could use a good slicer, someone who understood code and computers. He just understood the Force...well, tried to understand the Force.

*Keda rolled away from Devlin and pulled herself back into a defensive position. Her wrist communicator beep and a small somewhat blurry image of Crix appeared on her wrist.*
-Crix-
"Ah, good. it appears that the defense protocols are in place. I wouldn't both trying to reason with her it I were you, she can't hear a thing you say." *The image flickered briefly as Crix looked from Keda back to Devlin.* "It seems as though a few of my tests went according to plan, but others were..interrupted. I do have a question for you though, have did you plan on actually controlling a weapon like her? You don't even know the basics of what she is or can truly do."

Devlin grins at Crix.
"Control? I just wanted to see how she functioned without you looking over her shoulder. See if she could fight on her own."
Devlin's jokes veil his true intentions; but only just. He needed to understand more about this process, Crix, and Keda.
He shrugs.
"So far, she's just a nice warm up."
He smirks.
"No offense."
He folds his arms into his sleeves.
"I'd like to leanr more about her and your project...if you're so inclined, sir."

*Crix chuckled at Devlins response.*
-Crix-
"It's hard for me not to peer over the shoulder of my second greatest creation. Besides, she's more then capable of fighting on her own, she just has a ..temper of sorts." *Crix reached over and began typing on his datapad.* "Now you said that she was just a warm up. That's good, it means we're ready for phase two of the test."
*With a soft hiss, two more viles connected to Kedas armor began injecting a dark red fluid into her. She winced in pain even under the suppressants in her body, balling her hands into fist she forced herself to stop shaking. The viles only emptied half their contents before coming to a stop. Keda ceased her shaking and went back into her almost mechanical state.*
-Crix-
"There, now she has been injected with our new trial enhancements. Her body is now capable of moving many times greater then before, in theory of course. So lets test and see shall we, Keda"
*Keda shot forward like a bolt out of a blaster rifle. The world around her seemed to drastically slow, from her point of view. She closed the distance between her and the Jedi in no time flat, bringing her lightsaber in for a fast jab.*

Devlin's eyes widen.
"Still testing?"
Keda shot forward and brought her lightsaber to bear upon the Cardooinian.
Devlin takes a step back with his left foot and brings his left hand up, toward her lightsaber. He unleashes a small Force Push, meant to divert her blade from its intended path, and send it to his right. His right hand reaches to his belt and grabs his lightsaber. The viridian blade snaps to life once more.
"Care to make a wager, Crix?"
What fun was a duel without a little wager?
"If I beat your podperson, she goes free."

Talon walks around the Praxeum.
It has been some time since he had the chance to be around, after his training regimen increased.
Now, he has a break for a few days....or has this tight phase of training reverted back to normal? only time will tell. Talon hears the sounds of lightsabers clashing.
His lightsaabers move by sheer force of will to his hands....still unlit.
He runs towards the source of this conflict, and hopes he is in time. |

*Kedas blade was pushed slightly to Devlins right by an invisible force. Gritting her teeth she took several steps back and took up a defensive stance. The image of Crix gave a low chuckle from her wrist.*
-Crix-
"Master Dewe, I assure you that I do not gamble away my benefactors property. That sort of thin is, well, bad for business." *Crix folded his arms and took on a more somber expression.* "As for free, no such thing is possible for her. Not in her current state that is. However there are others more suited to take her place, that is if you have the credits for them."

Devlin shrugs.
"Thought I'd make it interesting...but, if you're not amenable..."
He stands in his modified Makashi stance, at the ready.
"Tell me, doctor, how does this work? Turning people into robots? It must pay well."
He wasn't foolish enough to believe he could convince Crix to either release Keda or abandon the creation of podpeople. He did, however, want to learn more about the process and, perhaps, discover the benefactor behind the projects.

Talon races towards the sounds of battle
He hopes to arrive soon...His Master is the presence he senses coming from the direction of the lightsaber sounds.
The sounds echo through the halls and they get louder as he closes in..
He rounds a corner and heads down the straightway corridor and he sees the two of them at a distance.
He Reaches out to his Master in the force during a moment of pause between the two as not to distract.
I'm on my way, how many are they?
His force link / bomd with Devlin is strong and as Padawan and Master, they have proven a good team...hopefully it is strong enough to handle what is to come.
Even with his training, he demeanor is restless but controlled. He feels the adrenaline, but his mind is calm. A contradiction indeed...

*Crix chuckled and gave a shrug.*
-Crix-
"The pay is more of an after thought to me, I just enjoy my job is all. As for how we make them, well. Most of the newer ones are all tank grown, much like clones, then at an early age they undergo surgery to implant the needed hardware. Keda here had synthetics and her control chip installed when she was eight, a little younger then most but she was off to a better start then a vast majority. The details however, those are secrets better left behind the closed doors of the lab."

Devlin heard Talon in his head and responded.
Not many. Just one. Tank-grown. A female Force hunter.
Devlin smirks.
"A mercenary for science and knowledge."
He stares appraisingly at Keda.
"But at what cost? From whom did these clones originate? Or are they individuals you've harnessed? Have you ever asked them if they want to be used?"
He began to wonder if he could cause a conflict between master and specimen. Somehow, he doubted it. Still, he had to try...if for nothing more than to discern the result.

*Crix gave a chuckle and glanced from Keda to Devlin.*
-Crix-
"My latest experiments, such as Keda, are not clones. They are tank grown from the DNA of two separate individuals, male and female. Kedas parents, or at least the people her DNA came from, were both great soldiers in their own right. Sadly though, both were killed shortly before the experiment began. The vast majority of what you see from her, we left to chance, the only things we changed were those that would make her excel at her job." *Crix let out a sigh and shook his head.* "As for giving her freedom or asking for her opinion just wasn't up for offer. We tried that once, with her older brother, things ended in disaster. He went mad within days after the surgery, but unlike Keda we waited until he was almost an adult before we performed on him. After that all our test subjects were implanted with suppressants and control chips. Though it is a shame, until he went made Titus was our most successful subject."
*At the mention of the name Titus, Kedas lip twitched and her right hand gripped tighter on her blades handle. Even under the influence of heavy suppressant, hate momentarily flashed across her blank eyes and welled up within her.*
