[PL 37,167 Heavy weights on PL 9291] He'd been out in the wastelands for the time collecting various materials and metals that could be found there. The saibas out in the distance cutting away at various rock formations with laser blasters for mining. An capsulize cases for easy storage for all they'd gather. They need various forms of material for the research and experimental programs. Flexible steel and fiber to be made for new armor schematics. Ki conductive metals for ki reactors in various blasters as well as his own repairs. The creatures seemed a bit out of spirits as they didn't favor this kind of work out of the air conditioned an comfortable labs running base errands. At least none of it was wasted work. Icarus could scan through the ground to a very deep level to identify metals mineral deposits and various forms of fuel. This had also helped recover some old tuffle tech buried away as well so far. His labs would soon have their entire supply of what needed found rather then gathered in trade in no time. His weighted cloak with the empire seal covering his little blue body. Silver hair being shined down on by the hot Vegeta sun his blue face eyeing the saibas as a watchful parent would. Making sure they were quick in their work. He'd be watchful on the horizon himself. He still didn't trust all the soldiers and elites that may hold grudge to a non saiyan in standing of position. His eyes ever watchful on the horizon watching from heat signatures to x-raying surrounding mountain walls to see who may be hiding behind them. Various forms of creatures and mutants he'd seen at work earlier moving supplies from one base to another but so far nothing major popped out at him. But if there was something after so long they couldn't hid their heat signature nor behind walls. If power was of note the scouter would pick that up as well. He just had to wait an be careful his Saiba's were uninterrupted. His internal systems now with protectors off that he knew what he was could also run internal cooling programs that kept him feeling cool and collected as the sun burned down. TO him it'd feel like a normal spring day of sorts in comfort. He was growing really rather found of how much easier a body like his could deal with forms of discomfort and problems a organic would be terrible with. As well as it was much more powerful then his peoples forms before. At least most of them which truly gave him spirits he was no longer defenseless in his research. Bing Gan

((PL: 2,456,032 | [SU] Ki Suppression Active! Sensed PL: 50,000!))
The wastelands of Vegeta weren't much better than the city to be quite honest. No matter where you'd look something less than normal would be going on. Whether it be a fight in the streets, or some poor sap getting attacked by one of the many beasts that inhabited this world. Although it would have been a good idea to head for Arcose early and get a lead on Komoto, he felt no rush currently. He knew the Majin was probably having trouble convincing the Saiyans that his plan would work out well.
The only reason he was currently in the wastes instead of in his ship was because the mere sight of the ship infuriated him. Though he loved he design, it reminded him of his foolish allegiance with the Majin. The food in the Mess Hall was still mostly Flan, and Komoto's room was being cleared of all magical belongings. So until the ship was cleaned of the majins influence, he would explore the planet known most commonly as Vegeta.
As he flew over the landscape, his shades began beeping. He grabbed them out of their pouch and clicked it on, bringing Donna to life inside the confines of the shades. "I keep forgetting how cramped it feels in here compared to the King Crab! Every time I switch back here I feel incredibly claustrophobic." She faked a yawn as she spoke.
Bing stopped mid-flight to speak "You needed something Donna?" It took her only but a moment to pull up some type of chart on screen. She spoke in a somewhat more monotone voice "My scanners detect that the same metallic material we found crash-landed on Namek is buried beneath the ground nearby. You may want to collect some to begin upgrading the ship further."
The human nodded, touching down on the ground as Donna requested. As he landed however, he saw a very strange group of creatures. They were small green aliens with three-pronged claws instead of hands or feet. They were speaking to each other with some type of clicking as used some sort of laser rifle to cut away at the rock surrounding the mineral.
Donna beeped again, signifying that what those green creatures were excavating was the same metallic mineral Bing was looking for. He walked closer, inspecting the group curiously as they continued working. His closer proximity prompted one of the creatures to turn and speak in its clicking language again "Kiki! Kii kikikiki!" It seemed to be speaking rapidly whilst stepping closer to the human. It started speaking more angrily as Bing raised an eyebrow in confusion.
He turned a bit to the left to see a tiny blue person watching from a distance. He waved towards the miniature man as he shouted "Hey! Little Android fellow! Do you know what these little guys are?" Bing knew that the small person was an android from the simple fact that he could not sense any type of life force coming from him. There was always the chance that the blue person was just suppressing their power, but he'd never met anyone good enough at suppressing their power that much.

A new comer caught his eye as numba 2 was growing a little agitated. V.jr and Z.jr gathering around the green one. The pink and red ones dragging it back and speaking to it in their language. Shoving the rifle in its hand an a few more capsule cases to store supplies in as if instructing it. Icarus's rocket boots ignited and had him over in a few seconds landing quickly lightly scorching the ground before making a complete landing as his boots clacked on the ground as they turned off. Icarus would observe a moment clearing his throat eyeing over hte man. The scanner built in his eye quickly took on bings 50k pl. Strong for a off worlder. But then again Kaula and that experiment thing that tagged along with her now and again were with tremendous power. So he tried not to let it bother him. "This ground is private property and been set for mining. They don't like interference with their work. Outsiders are a unknown so they tend to be on guard just as I like them to be." He'd say curious of Bing lightly. Bing wouldn't see the hovering displays his eyes created in illusion for Icarus to interact with. Findings no record of alien association with anyone matching this description in SSE archives. "You're not SSE... Unless you're new for the newer queen... Why are you out here and on this planet?"
While bing would answer he presumed he would not seeming to violent yet. Icarus was scanning the man using x-ray's to look at bone structure and toning down the tier to also inspect internals. Heat would take in his average temperature an try an get a little record put back for future reference on other of the same race. He didn't 'seem' saiyan at least. His left eye without much way of telling would also trigger a record for the moment saving several pictures as well as beginning for the next few moments recording whatever the man would say to have the voice and visual on data. Just precaution and files for the future should they be needed. His personal programs would keep the archives organized he just needed to add in the data whenever he pleased. "I assume you are on good terms with the empire? If not you are most certainly lost?" Trying to make heads or tails of what this man was doing as well as his reason for being out so far. Icarus talking calmly and collected as if dealing with any other minor business. His arms never leaving his cloak. His scanners doing enough. It was a growing feeling lately feeling a bit sneak actually as no one really knew the things he could see on them,through them, in them. The scouter as well being taken quickly into scan. Trying to check its model and make. Perhaps proper design could be integrated to upgrade SSE models if approved.

Bing raised an eyebrow curiously as Icarus spoke. These strange multi-colored creatures were apparently mining for materials. The human personally thought they seemed more like a beastly race that would be more useful as a training partner or perhaps being used as Cannon Fodder. He crouched down next to one of them and scratched at its chin. At first it protested slightly, but after a brief moment the green creature warmed up to him. "Kikikiiiii..." It let out a clicking sound again, though this one seemed to drift off mid-sentence as it allowed itself to be scratched under the chin. Bing smiled as he stood up "Such an interesting creature...What are they called?" He asked curiously, but before he could gain an answer the robot asked his own question.
The android asked why Bing was here, and on the planet at all. He sighed and rubbed his face with his right hand. After a brief moment he explained himself "I'm sure you'll hear about it in a few days if you work for the Queen, but I suppose I'll tell you myself." He ran his hand through his grayed hair as he began speaking again "I came to Vegeta on business with an...acquaintance of mine. He and I went to speak with the queen to offer her a deal, but I don't think it went the way my compatriot intended it to..." He trailed off a bit, lost in thought for a moment.
His thoughts were interrupted when the android asked another question. Bing pondered for a moment before giving his answer "Not entirely sure, to be quite honest. During my meeting with the Queen I stormed off in a rage, and while I don't think we're exactly on bad terms...I doubt I'm well liked by your Empire." He knew he was probably not the most popular human one would meet on Vegeta by a long shot. He was very commonly fighting Saiyans, one of which being an Elite, which apparently meant quite a lot for the Saiyan Society. If anything he'd probably be considered a criminal here for killing a saiyan elite on Namek, but he wasn't sure how the law system worked on Vegeta either.
He turned the situation around, this time asking the Android a question. He bowed respectfully beforehand "Seeing we're asking each other so many questions, we might as well exchange pleasantries. My name is Bing Gan, mind if I ask for your name?" He extended his arm, intending on shaking the androids hand as a sign of friendliness. Although it would be nice to let off some more steam and fight this strange little man, it would also be nice to possibly have a civil conversation on an uncivilized planet.
As expected, a horrid train of thought invaded Bings mind. It spoke to him in an annoyed tone as usual "Such a pitiful construct. Why not just kill him and steal the materials we need?" Bing wasn't about to make more trouble for himself than he already had, so he replied in the usual way "No. That would very easily get us in trouble with the Saiyans, assuming he works for them. I'd rather not get arrested or executed during my brief stay." The villainous thought grew louder as it gave a rebuttal "Nothing says he works for the Saiyans! Even if he did, just get Donna to wipe his data!" This internal back-and-forth went on for quite some time, and would most likely only be stopped by Icarus speaking up.

Icarus watched as the agent gave into a little attention. They did love kind notice compared to what they normally got to those other then him alone usually. Besides Icarus's kindness they were used to rough saiyan orders. Personal as they were though allowed them usually to avoid the worst of it. "Saibamen... They are grown. They have their uses... they they should be doing..." The alphas of red and pink ragging it away as it tried to get more attention. Icarus watching them as they'd go back to work. The supplies were needed for new weapons advancement and body repairs of personal needs. "Pardon that... They distract easily." He'd say watching them walk away before after a moment turning back to face Bing.
As he listened it seemed they were to speak with the queen. Something proposed... He'd check the latest data surely something would be put on record. There was little that went on he couldn't find out with a little digging through palace security or monitoring the influx of the newest data. Countless secrets at his finger tips, Or more so at a though now with how his body and mind worked. "Most aren't, Many of the elites take offence easily but if you walk free I'd say its not a major offense. The queen and her general... Are more so understanding then past leaders from what my studies tell me. I have my own reasons for playing my part though." His eyes had long since returned to plain vision. Bings vitals and all else had been labeled and stored as data. Not a race her recognized but not all that different forms aliens besides a few small points of note. "My names Icarus.. You're likely not to see others like me in this empire. I am some what one of kind." Still polite but a bit more careful. His fingers twitching under his cloak that covered most his body.
This man was polite but it still worried him what sort of trouble was going on. As well as proposals before the queen with one of power. Fifty thousand power surely was of high notice given it was far above most elites. So it could be very large news and he knew so little of Zuc's plans. At least Vennel he could keep a bigger eye on or ask about plans more directly. Zuccetta for now at least he'd had little personal time with. Secluded to his labs late on work as well as the archives. Thins were already getting worrisome for the change of thrones now meetings were array with beings of power. This could be very bad if things went down again so soon after yet another changing of thrones. The though making him wish Vennel was present. "What was the proposal? The one your friend made?" A bit more assertive in tone. Clearly curious his interest int he mater clear with light concern.

The internal debate was finally broken up when the android spoke again. The human turned his attention back to the small creatures as Icarus explained them "Saibamen...is there any chance you could show me how to create them?" He raised an eyebrow curiously as he waited for a response.
The android introduced himself as Icarus, and Bing smiled "It's a pleasure to meet you Icarus, hopefully you being a rare sight doesn't mean the Saiyans did something bad to your people." He knew the answer would be yes, because Saiyans were notorious for being killers, but the human could always hope the answer was different from expectation.
He sighed again as Icarus asked the obvious question "it was a simple one really. My acquantance, a man named Komoto, offered to join the Solar Empire. In exchange he asked for their help in attacking a planet known as Arcose. I...didn't react very well to hearing this. Komoto never told me the plan, so when I heard it I left the Palace angrily." It was the honest truth, and Icarus would most likely hear the story from either the Queen herself or one of her many guards as soon as he returned to the palace.
Bing turned once more to the Saibamen and looked at them curiously. "If it isn't too intrusive, do you mind if I ask what it is you are excavating?" He placed his hands behind him as he asked the question. The human hoped he would get to know the name of the material, but would easily see many reasons for why Icarus might be apprehensive when it comes to giving out information.

Icarus gave a light tilt of his head to the side. He'd think before answering not sure if this man really knew enough of the species but it wasn't likely he'd have them anytime soon. Even if he did show them how to make them or at least explain."You need a special material I'm afraid. Its not easy to make and you plant them. They sort of grow in a mater of moments to full grown. I've done some augmentation which is why two of them are different colors. Green are usually the plain variant you'll see. They are also normally much more violent. These are just.. special." He'd say downplaying his personal training of them. The value of a seen yet unseen squad of saiba's to carry out tasks around the capital.
He'd look off the side a bit not making direct eye contact when Bing talked of his race and the saiyans. A sigh exhaling out from his little blue face. His body feeling a little heavy as he thought about that. "It matters not why they are gone now... Merely the now is whats important now. I have my own reasons for being apart of this empire. I have.... some I care for you see. As strange as that is I guess I found myself having trouble damning the race for their crimes when I actually got to know one." It was strange to become friends with one after the war. It was still hard at times a small feeling of personal hatred as if he was a traitor ate him at times. But it usually passed shortly after most of the time.
Icarus ears perked at the mention of arcose and attack. "Never been... Heard of it in archives however... Also of someone of importance there..." Scratching his cheek thinking of the author of various books he'd found after discovering arcosian history links on various studies. "I'd love to see it myself sometime. But sadly if the empire attacks it I may not have such a chance. I for the time must keep myself for this empire. I don't have a choice personally to leave without breaking my word. An as for my little minions they are gathering various metals for some mechanical and tech work. I need for synthetic body parts as well as proper conductors for ki engines." Some materials were rich on this planet if you were smart enough to know where to look. Being able to x-ray the ground and surroundings areas definitely helped as well.

Bing nodded, understanding Icarus' response basically meant that Saibamen were perhaps a little too complex for the human to use effectively. "I can see they have many uses, but I think growing them may take too long to prove useful for me. I will say that it sounds very interesting to me though, and if I had more time to study them I would love to try creating my own batch. Is it difficult to obtain this material?" He raised an eyebrow curiously as he continued watching the Saibamen excavate, occasionally making their strange clicking noises as they worked.
He turned to Icarus and crouched down. "It's never a good thing to forget about the past. It's what makes you who you are, and while letting go of the past is a good thing, you should never ignore it entirely." Bing spoke in a sincere tone, and while he wasn't sure Icarus would "get" what Bing was trying to say, he at least hoped the android understood it in some way.
The human stood back up and watched the Saibamen again. His curious mind couldn't help but wander back to the strange green creatures. They were such a fascinating race to Bing. He watched as they continued excavating whatever materials they were looking for. On occasion they would stop digging for a moment and grab a chunk of metallic rock, tossing it into a nearby pile of similar looking materials.
He turned back to Icarus again and asked another question "Would you be okay with perhaps allowing me to dig nearby? I could use some of these metals for my ship, and I could even compensate you for the materials if needed." He grabbed a pouch of Zeni off of his belt and offered it to Icarus. Inside the pouch would be around 200 Zeni, hopefully enough to be allowed to dig here for a brief time.

He'd clear his throat placing a hand over his throat considering how to explain this to bing. The saibamen were a strange thing although many empires had access to them. They weren't hard to come by but could be dangerous if not used properly. "While they are not hard to come by no... You should be weary of using them. These are trained carefully but most work more as weakened forms of infantry. Quickly made,.. and sadly often quickly disposed of assets. AS you can imagine a empire such as this and others would take great value in expandable soldiers so easily made at the ready. But if you truly desire the solution that is planted for their creation it wouldn't be hard to attain. Vegeta has many places to find it likely as well as several other galactic empires I've researched. You could probably find the plantings at some interstellar shop as well but I wouldn't recommend them over hired help. Mine are just... special." He'd take a moment in a bit of a blank stare as the warrior came in close.
Icarus felt a little uncomfortable to be close to another like this. There was few he wished close few he'd allow to touch him or be in such personal space. But the mans word did catch him offgaurd. Icarus opening his mouth as if to offer rebuttal to them but slowly closing it after. He hadn't really known how to argue the point. The past was just that the past. An his case the past was thousands of years ago now. But that didn't make bings words any less on target. A light sigh would bellow from his lips as he tried to shake the though once again. AS he often did when they haunted his mind of a past and race long since lost to time and the new planet that was now the saiyans.
He'd be silent a moment before finally answering bings other statement. "The materials here are rich yes I wouldn't mind if you took what you needed. One man such as yourself can only use so much I believe. Its mainly only good for armor, ships as you need, And prosthetics for droids and the like. Compensate you say? Do you have anything of value? I am curious now.." He'd say in a wondering tone. Did the man have simple things of wealth or perhaps something special in mind. It was others worth investigating what someone or something from places beyond the stars had to trade. Each planet, each culture, each new people had things beyond comparison at times that the prior would never have conceived. Its what made life such a interesting mistress across the galaxy. Icarus enjoying learning more about it too as his studies continued each day.

Bing was still genuinely interested in the Saibamen formula. Though he knew he would probably never actually use them, learning new things was always fun in the humans mind. Icarus had begun explaining that they were quite commonplace in most armies, but normally as cannon fodder. "Interesting...so although they're useful, they are more commonly used as infantry. The worker class, birthed to die...Very very interesting." Bing brought his hand up to his chin as he scratched it inquisitively "Do you happen to know how exactly the formula for their growth was discovered? They don't seem to be a natural occurrence." Bing eyed one of the distant Saibamen as he spoke, watching it carefully as it continued its duty of excavation.
Icarus returned the subject to Bing's earlier request of excavation. It seemed the android was interested in what Bing might have to offer. Bing smiled as he offered a few different things. "Well, if you're interested in a different planet's currency, I have some Zeni from my home planet of Earth." He brought up the pouch in his hand again, wielding it firmly in his hand.
"Of course, I also have this..." He put his Zeni pouch away, and instead pulled out a vial of teal colored liquid. He presented the vial to Icarus, and explained what the contents were "...This liquid contains millions upon millions of microscopic nano-machines. Once ingested, the nano-machines move through your bodies vital areas and repair any possible damage it may have received. I've tested it out a few times myself, and it works fairly well."
The human would allow Icarus to more closely inspect the vial if he wished, but regardless of what Icarus did next, Bing would continue "I can either make you your own vial, or you can simply take this one for further inspection. All I ask in return is that I can excavate a bit of the minerals nearby, sound good?"

He'd clear this throat considering the saiba's and their initial needs or at least it seemed to be that way anyway. Given how they'd been used time and time again. "Its been reported in most cases I believe they are left on the planets that are taken. Or... disregarded more forcefully at times when no longer needed. Some use them to train with as well by destroying them to match their powers." He'd say thinking how they'd been used in such ways before. Poor things seen as nothing more then a commodity to most. "I myself am unaware you initially came up with their concoction. They are so wide spread throughout various empires its hard to say really came up with them. They do not breed they can only be grown. I admit it is a strange occurrence their growth and I believe richer soil helps as well when planting them. The whole process takes only a few moments though. Just a few drops and they dig themselves out after a few moments pass by. Rather speedily grown little creatures." He'd smile at them wondering on ways to alter the concoction that gave them life as well. Given he had created two alphas of pink and red. That stood a wee bit taller then the average green units.
Icarus would quickly snatch the vial away or would attempt to do so at least for closer examination after his eyes shot open a bit curious. He got antsy and easily enraptured when he was taken by his curiosity. The mind of a scholar ached for creation and exploration of the creative minds possibilities when surrounded by apes who only wanted bigger weapons and tougher armor. His eyes scanning it on various levels from heat vision seeing the infrared little heated nano machines barely noticeable unless seen at a microscopic level. He was x-raying it as well doing his best on vision scanners alone to identify some of the concoction within. "Personally You can do as you please.... Just be weary if you truly did possibly upset anyone at whatever meeting you were apart of. I am far kinder then most my fellow empire cohorts. Many of the saiyans as you are well aware are not always the most kind... or tactful... or even intelligent in how they handle people they take a disliking too. If you need this materials for repairs and preparation then by all means. I'd much rather see a kind soul seek out finer pastures elsewhere then possibly have harm befall them for simple and trivial problem." The whole time speaking his eyes never leaving the bottle. Bing likely didn't possess the ways of seeing his robotic eyes did. It as a feeling that was like pure magic in his blood when he no longer needed many of his old lab tools but could do so much prework simply with various updates to his software and hardware alterations.
