*After her initial meeting with Governor Clemente, Sinistra didn't bother the official again for several weeks, the normal functions of all government offices still in place with current personnel. Lorta and Lt. Dan made some requests on behalf of their mistress, bolstering the military readiness of the capital city, installing additional upgrades to shielding and bunkers. Sinistra paid for all the upgrades herself as well as announcing a new medical facility to be built in Pesktda, a state of the art surgical and trauma center specializing in both organic and non organic components.
The facility was designed to blend in with the surrounding architecture, complete with gardens and porticos that wind through the bimiza trees that graced the grounds. There is much ado about the lovely new addition to the city, as there was much fanfare regarding the staffing by native Garqians considering that the construction was carried out by contractors from off world.
The plans submitted to the city were beautiful and perfect, but incomplete unbeknown to those in the city planning office. The bunker in the basement on the plans lead to an even deeper facility beneath the surface. Stretching 15 stories into the bedrock, a /second/ facility was contained under all of the gardens and half of the 20 story building.
Entrance to the underground facility was only through a series of doors and tunnels that ran from the Dark Tide compound that Sinistra constructed roughly three miles away. The tunnels contain a series of trams that ferry the medical staff from their quarters at the compound to the secret medical facility.
Geneticists, doctors, robotics experts, and all manner of researchers worked quietly under the hospital, living quietly in the DT compound. There were experimental labs for robotics, genetics, and a of course, a cloning lab. There was even a small corner devoted to animal husbandry and a biological warfare lab. Occasionally Sinistra was seen in the trendy tapcaf houses near her HQ, but for the most part, she kept a facade of secrecy up for all to see.*
*Walking back from a caf house one afternoon with Lorta, Sinistra takes the opportunity to inquire of her assistant's recent assignment.*
"Have you found anything yet?"
=Lorta=
"Nothing that would signal anything other than a simple agriculture facility, unless you count the ridiculous amount of armament and shielding that encompasses the place."
"Hmm. Well, that is to be expected I suppose. Tell Alsace to tax all foreign companies for the privilege of operating on Garqi."
=Lorta=
"Yes, ma'am, at once."
*Sipping her caf, Sinistra enjoys her walk back to her office, smiling wickedly and thinking about acquiring more needed supplies for the secret lab.*
