Anisa System, White Harbor Station, Green Sector, Deck 888
As part of their effort to break into the medical care and biotechnology markets, the Ryu Keiretsu's Fuji Corporation (control given to Advancer Enterprises) had developed the Biixi Clinic brand. Developed to be one part a cybernetics dealership and 4 parts proper medical facility, the ads and sale of cybernetics is only hinted at the entrance of the facility.
Today was the grand opening of the first Biixi Clinic officially opened out side of the Tatiana System. Outside of the predominantly white and gray facility, an assortment of red and gold banners in Lianjia Script and Trade could be seen. Slogans such as "Grand Opening" and "To Great Health and Prosperity", there was an atmosphere of happiness and joy as music and a performance of Lianjia dancers in a stylized lion volumetric costume could be seen to the side of the main entrance.

Iemochi Seinosuke had been pondering whether visiting Deck 888 was a wise idea, but it had been something on his mind for a while. He’d been tuned into the SARA development community and keeping abreast on tech development for several years now, as part of his job. Advancer Enterprises' Kami Implant nearing completion of its development was something that had sparked curiosity within Seinosuke (henceforth known as Mochi).
While Elysians traditionally had trouble not rejecting cybernetic implants, Mochi was curious to give this a shot regardless. Neo-Caelisolians had far more generalized DNA than the other castes of Elysians. If nothing else, it would be a practical experiment as to its viability in the use with his engineered species. If the worst happened, the scientist could probably do some genetic engineering on his ST replacement to fix it. However, the risks probably outweighed the downsides. There were some things he’d like to test out and the Kami was that first step.
Approaching the Clinic in his Star Army officer’s uniform, Mochi made his way inside. The crew of the Resurgence were on leave, so now was the perfect chance to use that for his little project. Walking in, he was immediately greeted by a single poster of a warrior monk in black robes facing off against what looks like a golden golem (promoting a Human Upgrade Package). Looking past the inner doors, a silver skinned Lianjia gynoid stood patiently behind the reception desk. She yawns and stretches her arms into the air and immediately regrets it when she saw Mochi.
She snapped into a stiff position and bowed deeply towards the uniformed individual. "Welcome to the Biixi Clinic sir. How can I assist you this day?"
The Taii would begin - “Hi. I’d like to talk to someone about the new Kami implant?”
“Judging by your request Taii, you would wish to speak to one of our cybernetics specialists. One moment I will call one over.”
Normally the procedure for this would be for the receptionist to call over one of their “Cybernetics Specialists” which were really more salesmen. Then they would go into one of the open offices (the walls are made of transparent durandium) on the left side of the lobby to go over the latest in cybernetics for anyone to see. The hope being that others would become curious about their offerings as well if they were waiting.
But the Kami Mental Backup Implant was a different story. Like many of the Ryu Keiretsu’s “Advanced Works” nearing public release, the marketing for them is kept to a minimum as proof of concepts seen at Trade Shows and research papers. Anyone asking for them directly sends a red flag to the system as potential corporate espionage or a possible volunteer. So instead of the request going to the bored red haired female Cybernetics Specialist waiting, it instead went to a security office in the basement.
“Ma’am, it appears we have a Taii asking for the KaMBU. A Neo-Caelisolian by the looks of it.” a junior security officer said looking at the request and the image attached to it from the cameras. “Aren’t Elysians supposed to be allergic to cybernetics or something?” he continued, looking over to a sharply dressed woman sitting at a desk.
She looked up from the volumetric game she was clearly playing in the open and got up from her seat to review. “Interesting…” is the only thing out of her mouth when she sees the green panel of Mochi’s uniform. “I’ll talk to him. Let the receptionist know the query has been answered.” she said before walking out of the office. “Don’t mess with my save file while I am away~”. she said, letting the words trail away as she walked out the door. Her subordinate just rolled his eyes as he went back to monitoring the data feeds.
Mochi waited patiently with the receptionist, wondering why it was talking so long. The Taii bounced on the balls of his feet a little, turning around to observe the store while he was by himself. Not a bad place, clearly they knew what they were doing around here.
After a few minutes, a professionally-dressed business woman made her way over, the clanking of high heels gradually got louder gaining his attention. She was quite pretty, an all raven haired woman in a gray lab coat turn around the corner. The high heels and bottom of what appears to be a black Lianjia dress combined with her sleek black cybernetic fingers and cybernetic lines on her face are the only indications that she is not a run of the mill doctor. The augmentation of cybernetics made her stand out as someone who knew her stuff. Having faith in your own product was important, of course. It instilled some level of confidence in Mochi.
“Greetings Taii, I am Xue Chunhua. How can I help you in regards to the Kami implant?” she says to him once she is within normal speaking volume range, stopping a meter from his side and bowing to him.
“Good to meet you, Chunhua-san. I have a proposal, for which I’d pay handsomely if your company would be able to help me.” He said after returning the bow to her. While he knew there was nobody around listening, the Elysian lowered his voice slightly. “It’s potentially rather sensitive, so it’d be best if we talked in private. What is your company’s stance on confidentiality..?”
“It is generally considered polite to introduce one’s name before diving straight into business… Senator.” Chunhua responded, matching his vocal volume with a stern but pleasantly professional tone. She was sure he just assumed she was familiar enough with Yamataian politics that it slipped his mind. But she actually wasn’t, she only knew because her assistant happened to be looking at a report from the Mizumitsu Counter-Intelligence Section regarding the incident between him and the Empress.
Mochi inclined his head slightly in apology. “Well- I was hoping to get into an office before introductions and diving into things. I’m far too used to people either already knowing, not caring to ask or being too busy to ask for my name.” The blonde rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “It seems like you already know who I am, but yes - I am Iemochi Seinosuke. Glad to make your acquaintance.”
Chunhua smiled a bit after that, she did love making men (and women) in uniforms squirm. But usually she is the one making them do so for less obvious reasons. While she wanted to comment how cute he was at the moment, she kept that to herself knowing the man is married. “Come this way please, we can discuss this in our meeting. As for your question on business-client confidentiality, it is of our utmost priority to protect our client’s information and their data. It will take a legal court order from the nation’s legal apparatus for us to provide the minimum information they request.”
She escorted him 15 meters down the hall and around the corner from the reception to a door marked “Meeting Room”. Save for a keypad on the side of the door, there was nothing too remarkable about the room. Not seen from Mochi’s position, Chunhua’s eyes glowed for a moment as she sent the authorization sequence needed to open the door.
An artificially lit room with a large reddish brown wood table could be seen with 13 seats around it. The loud clanking of Chunhua’s shoes were not present, as looking down you could see the room had navy blue carpeting to go with the gray walling. When Mochi entered the room, the door slide closed with a loud hiss afterwards and Chunhua walked to the head of the table. “Xuanwu-zi, activate privacy mode.”
“Acknowledged.” a disembodied deep accented male voice said in response. Barely audible to normal people, a soft humming could be heard along with the camera indicator in the back turning off.
“Now, you said you have a proposal to make and would pay handsomely for it. Back home, that usually was the first words before the Triad representative proceeded to recruit you into their activities.” she said, leaning forward and placing her face into her hands.
“Combine that with potentially sensitive and I know we are going into a gray and possibly black area in the law.” she said before grinning. “But provided it is not immoral and the legal heat generated is not too much to handle, this is precisely how science progresses. I am listening.” she continued with a grin.
Mochi was pleased to know that the meeting room was private and that their company was open to hearing what he might say in confidence. At the mention of this being some sort of recruitment, he couldn’t help but grin despite himself. Mochi waved his hand, “I’m not in any criminal organisation, unless you count some members of the Senate, heh.”
The decorated officer made his way over to a seat, spinning it around and sitting down. No reason not to get comfortable while he was here. “What it comes down to, is this damn embargo on ST cloning. I’m trying to get a correction through the Senate, but as with anything that goes through it, everything has to be drawn like blood from a stone.”
The blonde sighed, running a few fingers through his messy blonde hair, green eyes scanning the room idly. “It’s illegal to transport ST technology outside of Yamatai’s borders, but I understand that your company has developed an alternative.”
Mochi swung his gaze back to Chunhua. “To put it simply, cloning myself biologically is easy for me, but the transferal of memories is the big hurdle for me. I’d like to confidentially contract you to help me make a clone of myself outside of Yamatai’s borders.” The Senator added, “The law on cloning doesn’t apply outside the borders and your tech isn’t ST, so we’d technically be operating legally. However, obviously, it’s best this is confidential.”
“Of course, I can pay handsomely for the service. What do you think?” Mochi leaned back into the leather of the seat, crossing his hands on his lap.
