Gotta say, as rescues go? I've had better.

[ He sounds distinctly put out by that, but to be fair he's still trying to work out if he's actually been rescued or if becoming one with the Force was a whole lot worse than he'd been lead to believe. ]

Somebody might want to fix the droid. It's on the fritz.

@zd; text- these aren't the droids you're looking for

[swatsflies]

Droid?
Oh you mean the admin?
Her name is Eve.
She's a person. I think.

[ Very helpful. ]

@spectreone, text

[dumed]

She's a person spitting out error messages instead of dates?

[swatsflies]

Yeah, not really sure why she does that.
She doesn't really talk to us often
It seems like she knows as much as we do about the date.

[ Which is nothing definitive. ]

[Droid. She knows that word. Zach has had to explain it. Kesara blinks her bafflement at the tablet. But that was just a story, wasn't it?]

Do you have a droid, sir? Is it here? Can I see it?

@spectreone, video

[dumed]

A completely useless one. Wasn't with me when I was kidnapped - you haven't seen a little guy about this high - [ Kanan switches to video to demonstrate a height. He's a normal enough looking person - no aliens here. ], orange, looks like a trash can with a worse attitude.

[heavensreader]

[His normal appearance does throw her a little, since she had imagined that the people of a galaxy far, far away would be at least a little different. But she recovers quickly, driven by her increasing curiosity.]

I haven't seen anything like it, sir, I'm sorry. The only robot we have is very small and screams all the time, and I don't think it can pilot space ships.

Do your rescues usually consist of waking up in buildings you don't remember going into?

It's not a droid. It's a tablet.

@spectreone, text

[dumed]

Sometimes. [ Less since he cut back on the drinking! ] Tablet, droid, whatever - someone gonna fix it? It's annoying.

[onthefitz]

It's unfortunately not that easy from what I've been told. I've been attempting to figure out a means of re-configuring the tablets but I haven't found all the materials I need just yet.

@standardissue; audio

[deus_ex_phs]

The problem's not just your tablet, unfortunately. In fact, compared to the rest of town, the tablet's actually working pretty well.

[dumed]

Oh, fantastic. [ The sarcasm positively drips. ] Clearly the heating's out.

audio; @dreamsnhonor

[heroproceeding]

I wouldn't exactly call this a rescue.

[ Far from, buddy. Far... far from. In a galaxy much, much further away.

Please don't ask him which one. ]

it is when you were dead before, gosh zack. so ungrateful.

[dumed]

Then what exactly would you call it? [ Zero patience. None. ] I'm doin' slightly better than I was a few hours ago.

@boy; audio;

[realhunger]

Rescue from what?

[Waking up in a strange building is kidnapping, not rescue, mister.]

[dumed]

Oh, you know, the usual.

[ Hedging? You betcha. ]

Got arrested due to a little misunderstanding. You know how stormtroopers are.

@LELRIC; audio

[armoured]

[There is a whole wealth of things to reply to there, and Al will be helpful in a moment, but he has to be confused first.]

Excuse me, but what's a droid?

[dumed]

How are you the second person that's asking me that?

[ Since apparently it really is something other people don't have, Al's the first to get a straightforward explanation: ]

It's a computer with legs and an attitude.

[ - Well, for a given value of straightforward. ]

@zachtastic; text

[majorlazer]

droid, huh. interesting choice of word.

[Listen, Zach is okay now with, different universes and different timelines and robots and cyborgs and weird shit. But the word droid pings him in a way that's... making him vibrate a little.]

where you from?

[dumed]

Not really.

[ What's this guy on about and why does he sound so sketchy? ]

Where are you from?

Voice @Enoch

[warriorscribe]

I would say being here is better than being dead, still, if that's what you were rescued from.

[Yes, still. He's no longer entirely sure he can maintain that attitude...but it's best if he doesn't dwell too much on his own choice of words.]

By "droid", you mean...?

[dumed]

Death, torture, the tender mercies of the Empire's provincial government.

[ He sounds remarkably cavalier about that. ]

It's a machine, does jobs people can't or don't want to.
