Chapter 21. Force Experiment
"Well…" Plagueis asked via private holonet link.
"As you predicted Master… Sifo Dyas is all in… but I think we should wait…"
"For what?"
"The right person to sit on the thrown of Naboo…"
"How long will that be?"
Seven more years…"
"And who do you have in mind for the trown…"
"Padme Amidala… She is in her second semester in the youth legislative program…"
"Very well… I leave it to you… I have business in the Corporate sector but I wish to see you on Coruscant…"
"Yes Master…"
Plagueis was walking towards his personal shuttle when N12 came running up behind him. "Master I have found it…"
He kept walking, "Found what?"
"A human female with an exact one hundred medi-chlorian count…" He stopped, spun around and started walking towards the labraratory. A human female of thirty years of age was in a cryo-tube.
"What is her name…"
"Skywalker… Shmii Skywalker…"
"Begin the saturation process… We have work to do…"
"Yes master…"
In Plagueis' studies he found hints of old parchment and manuscripts of a race of beingsthat could use the force to create life or use it to create sentience in creatures that had none. Plagueis wanted to bombard Shmi's body with the force and trick her medi-chlorians into making her body pregnant and create a child of the force. The first hour was spent saturating her in a nutrient bath. The second hour was used altering her body so that it didn't pass along any possible hereditary diseases. The next three hours were crucial as it took all of Darth Plaguies' strength to produce the desired results. As he worked N12 had to monitor the woman and Plagueis progress. His own life was in jeopardy as the power he used to maintain his body was also compromised. His body started aging rapidly and if N12 didn't give a shot every thirty minutes he would die.
"N12… K…eep her in stasus…" Plagueis' voice was weezy and he looked as if someone had pulled his skin and left it hanging.
"You should rest master…" The droid said.
"I will…" He checked her status before placing himself in force sleep to regenerate his body. It took Plagueis three days to regenerate, but when he came out of the sleep he had not fully recovered. His hand had a slight trimmer and he was shaking all over. "I must recover fully…" Determined Plagueis sapped the life energy from his experiments. He drained them of all vitality and when he was done Plagueis was his old self. He almost laughed at N12 who was running around trying to save all the experiments ae their life monitors flatlined.
Shmi Skywalker was four days pregnant and the embryo was growing at a healthy rate. "Make the arrangements but keep her in stasus…" He said to N12.
