DK-102122 could be considered what the humans would relevate as being "Nervous" at the moment. High Command was on it's way down to his planet to see what he'd been doing since he'd gotten reinforcements and DK was worried about the efficiency of his droids. They'd dug some trenches already, but the Acalay problem was annoying in this area. However they'd also reactivated the prisons which was something of a feet considering the shape they'd been in.
DK was wearing his standard cape, and caring his electric staff with him and as far as a combat droid went he knew he was the top of the line. However would the commander be impressed, it could be good or bad depending on what he would say. DK could easily be melted down for failure, but he could also be resassinged to the front lines. How DK wished his Sith Masters were still in control, they didn't care if a droid went rogue on a civilian population.

Furion had arrived, on a much more....discrete shuttle then one may expect from a Rebel Alliance Commander and Master Jedi, but the Empire was strong, and stealth was an extremely valuable ally. There was a time and a place for capital ships, now was not one of them. He needed to get a full detail on the efforts made so far on the planet. He had to admit however, he did not like being on Felucia, as far as things went, it was a planet that was deep in the dark side.
Regardless, he emerged from the shuttle, adorned in the robes of a Jedi Master, in this place it was safe, if the Empire attacked, well he was in a Rebel base anyway, they'd likely shoot to kill. A soldier approached the Jedi General as he emerged, giving a quick salute. "At ease, where can I find the commanding unit?" he asked, before being instructed towards his direction.

"I am the commanding unit." DK spoke as he approached, his voice almost like that of a whisper. It would seem the High Commander didn't have his own MC80 like DK did. DK calculated that if he had had a humor chip it would be funny that this Jedi didn't have his own Capital Ship like DK did.
The only thing that DK calculated was funnier than the man not having his own Capital Ship was the fact he had almost been hiding in a ship on his way over here. Apparently he didn't realize that the Rebellion controlled the entire planet, it had already been clensed of the Empire's filth.
"Welcome to Felucia high commander, in the past this jungle planet kept the Clones at bay as I'm confident it will do now. Shall I show you around My lord?"

The rebellion may have controlled Felucia, but they didn't control the entire galaxy, and Furion had traveled from Talravin, which was quite a distance indeed. It was only moments after he had started walking that he spotted the DK Unit. "Ah DK One-Oh-Two-One-Two-Two I'll take it, quite the mouthful, you'll have to excuse me if I just refer to you as DK." he replied, the concept of a droid running a base was rather amusing, they certainly had the logistic and analytic skills to do the job, he just wondered what difference the lack of a...living touch. But perhaps cold, hard logic would be more suited to defending against the Imperium's highly organised warfare.
"Yes, please. I'm quite eager to see the progress." Hopefully it was good, it certainly seemed to be so far.

"You may address me as you see fit Commander." The droid said, current command roster was downloaded into his head, and DK knew his place very well. DK nodded after that and walked along the dirt trail that had been dug out by droids for quiet some way leading the Commander to an over look hidden in the trees.
"Once we get artillery in this will be the base's Artillery and over look point. From here you can see the rather significant trench line we've dug. " The droid said as he pointed out over the hills and dirt towards the trench line. The droid wasn't a fool, he knew clones would have to run up on their fortified location if he did this and that would make him extremely lethal to charge.

"The artillery will provide excellent covering support to anyone in the trench, its very anti-infantry, once anti-air is set up it'll be quite the easily defended area." It wouldn't necessarily stop turbolasers pouring down from orbit, but it was an excellent start. Still, trench warfare was a horrible thing, it was slow and painful to morale. Well....droids didn't have morale, which was excellent for morale, one could argue.
"What else do we have?" he asked, rubbing his chin with curiosity.

"As you wish commander." The droid spoke as he walked further on down the path from the hill to the trenches. The trenches were wide enough for several droids to walk single file, yet still allow room for Droideka's to speed past.
"Once we get the Biological Weapon's produced, we'll stock pile them here so in the event of an Imperial Charge we can crush them where they stand!" The droid growled as he continued to pull himself along the paths leading away from the trenches out towards an open field with several large camoflauged structures being built. DK paused here and turned back towards the high commander.
"Here is one of the places we're building camoflauged color for AAT's and men, this will serve as an ambush point should the trenches be over run. it can also be used as extra artillery that is more accurate. Up ahead is HQ."

Biological weapons....not something he was fond of, seemed so....barbaric. Then again, he wasn't against the idea of a row of repeaters mowing down as much infantry as possible, it all ended the same. Still....it didn't go down well in his eyes. "How long do we expect before absolute completion of all faculties?" he asked, who knew how long before an attack.
"Ah yes, the Headquarters, lead on DK, consider me most interested." The central processing unit of the whole base, the Headquarters. Not only did it have to be able to defend, but it has to be easy to escape, against Empire forces, escaping to fight another day was often the better choice.

"It all depends on the supplies we get and when. We do not have reinforcements or Droid Factories Operational here yet." DK said as he started towards the HQ, he was lucky his legs wouldn't hurt from going up a steep hill like the pethedic fleshling's would.
"Coming up on your left is the old P.O.W Camp we recovered. It will make holding our enemies quiet unpleasant." DK-102122 spoke with almost a laugh as he walked by looking at the camps. Some of the nasty things they'd uncovered there would make a sentient's stomach churn, but for DK it was just "humerous."

"Unpleasant you say?" he asked with a...a slight coy sound to his voice. While the facility was in fine condition, this command unit was.....sounding more like a Moff with every sentence that left its mouth. It was...unnerving.
"DK, I find your attitude towards this most disturbing, we're trying to restore peace and democracy to the Republic, not replace it with a new Empire. If we act like them, we're no better." he replied, rather unaware of how the droid would react.

"With all due respect high Commander I am a droid programmed for winning a war. Morale is a part of War is it not?" The droid said, his thought processors were already trying to figure out what he was going to do about his commander finding him disturbing.
Then an interesting equation popped into DK's head, if The Pheonix Democracy was represented by "Y" and the Empire was "X" the goal was to simply X by making it into something else. What if X=Y=X then that would mean that the Empire is a Government like The Democracy, but if the Democracy had people who were against the elemination of X then they too were Imperials? Perhaps this man was not trust worthy, DK decided to watch him carefully.

"Barbarism is not, precisely what biological weapons are you stocking?" he asked, growing most concerned, wondering if it would be best to have this droid removed. Furion wasn't winning this war just to replace the Empire with a new one, that would defeat the entire point. Speaking of which, precisely who had this droid programmed and placed him into such an important position?

"Destruction of the enemy with minimal casualties to civilians is my programing Commander. If that means people die, then that's what it means. Its why I was put here, to make this place too punishing for Clones to attack, it's why droids man this place." The droid said, obviously this creature wasn't very smart, wars were made to be hell and if they were anything other than that people would enjoy fighting them.
"We mostly use gases here and occasionally Acalay." The droid responded, he had no problem with gasses or torturing people before they died, and the Droid was confident that should he be attacked or destroyed by the Jedi Master here, his master the Leader of the Democracy would have him removed from power.

"If this place is too punishing for the clones, what about the civilians you mentioned? About as few as possible? This is Felucia we're on, use of chemical weapons could have very negative results on the local forestry." he replied, what was this Droid thinking? Furion would be having very serious words with the droids superiors. This was....if he ever got outraged, this would be outrageous.
