Magenta's eyes scanned her children as they sat around the table, some with their respective spouses. Most wore stunned looks on their faces at the things she'd just told them about Joshua Kirk. Tak'Zyn, her Twi'lek son, was most impressed. He was the only doctor in the family, and ran Montal medical Services. "By the Force! The knowledge of genetics these people must possess to create these super soldiers. And you say that's how the Empire was able to alter Melee and the girls?" He asked his brother-in-law, Murgo Serro. "Actually." Murgo said from across the table. "We never had that knowledge. Only Gath Pok and Van matthews had that ability." "Who's Van Matthews?" Emerald asked. "He was the man who ran both the Soldier and Assassin programs. He made the mistake of wanting to deliver Melee's group personally. It was Melee who killed him." The Imperial representative told them with a half smile. "He was a very large man, but she threw him around that cabin on his ship like he was a doll. Then she shoved a blaster in his mouth and fired a couple rounds into his head." "So both of the men who know how to create these super men are dead." Ulrich stated. "That's good." The Imperial representative shook his head. "No, Pok is still alive." "But they said he died on the moon of Leelos IV!" Magenta shot back. "No, he faked his death. When Seergah's ships performed the BDZ, he was sitting on Leelos IV, watching." "Where is he now?" Lily asked from her seat next to Ivory. The Baron got up from the table and opened the blast shutters and pointed. "Right there in building four of Seldyn Hospital." Tak'Zyn laughed. "He's the man who produced the cure for the plague on Folous!" "Yes." "Mother, we have got to get this man working for us. I've seen a sample of this thing. And that was one very nasty bio weapon." The Imperial representative's eyes narrowed. "I'm not going to ask how you got hold of a sample. But are you sure this is a bio weapon?" "No doubt. All four of those plagues were created in a lab. Whoever did this is very good. Didn't your people know this?" "Yes. We just wish we knew who was doing it." "What do you know about the outbreaks?" Tak'Dahn, Tak'Zyn's sister, and president of the Three Suns Mercenary Company, asked. "All four worlds are in the Vannua sector. All four are agricultural planets, that sell to the Republic as well as the Empire." "Your brother's humanitarian plan." Tak'Dahn, the Tallest of Magenta's children cut in. "Yes. And it was beginning to pay off too, when the first plague hit." Murgo fumed. As he opened his mouth to speak again, his eyes went to Lily Montal. He slowly shook his head. "Why do you shake your head Murgo?" Lily asked with a mischievious smile. "Because he's too polite to say that you look rediculous." Her mother cut in. "And you do look rediculous. You're carrying this make-up thing too far. Face the facts Lily. You and Peenk are twins. You're going to look alike." "Ah, Tak'Dahn and I are twins. And we look nothing alike Mother." Tak'Zyn said, interrupting his mother. "You are not helping this conversation son." Magenta replied, trying to stifle a smile. "Alright. I'll be at the party tonight in my natural state, Mother." Lily said with a shrug. "And where is my sister Peenk?" "She had a directors meeting of her own corporation to attend."
