An Unexpected Journey

[The SCaT Droid]

''If you don't want to fight, that's on you'' he replied dryly

"I'm in a b1 chassis, we were made to either be intact or be destroyed, no in between. That means I have to be very careful when I pick my fights."

[J-Richo Toboga]

''It's not about chassis, it's about attitude.'' he said with confidence ''That is the Way''

[Jaxom Ursae]

The Pantoran woman sitting nearby smiled at the contentious duo and joked to the man now sitting nearby, “The two of them should start up a comedy routine down planetside. Make a few people laugh and get a few bucks.”

He gave a chuckle. "I'd book them, if I had a club. Are you familiar with Bellionas?"

[The SCaT Droid]

''It's not about chassis, it's about attitude.'' he said with confidence ''That is the Way''

At those words, the droids eyes go blank for 10 seconds, after which its eyes refocus. "I think I heard those words before, something about a rescue and then nothing until we are retreating."

[J-Richo Toboga]

At those words, the droids eyes go blank for 10 seconds, after which its eyes refocus. "I think I heard those words before, something about a rescue and then nothing until we are retreating."

''Which words? The first one or the second ones?''

[The SCaT Droid]

"The second, most definitely. My commandee would always tell me if they see even a little bit of damage to our central processing unit, he would shoot me on sight."

[J-Richo Toboga]

''Where is your commander now?'' he asked

[The SCaT Droid]

"Likely scrapped, it has been over a decade. It's amazing how far past my warranty I've lived. It's almost like if a human lived to be 1,000 years old."

[J-Richo Toboga]

''Then he can't scrap you can't he?''

[The SCaT Droid]

"It's not that I fear scrapping per say, it's that I can't risk it until I complete my new primary directive."

[Lassa Tenro]

He gave a chuckle. "I'd book them, if I had a club. Are you familiar with Bellionas?"

She shook her head, “First time. You?”

[Zimrzala Skalirz]

The Pantoran woman sitting nearby smiled at the contentious duo and joked to the man now sitting nearby, “The two of them should start up a comedy routine down planetside. Make a few people laugh and get a few bucks.”

The yellow-skinned woman chuckled a bit at the Pantoran's comment - the drone and the armoured man did sound a bit comical, at least in part of their conversation.

As it got more relate to fighting, and to how bombs and heavy blasters might be the best way, or the only way, to grant the droid a chance to keep from having its memory deleted periodically... she seemed to get tenser, her eyes going back to the duo from time to time.

She still wasn't particularly used to droids, having been raised in Bakura - although she had seen a number of them during her latest trips. And she hadn't given their rights much thought, definitely...

... although now, hearing the strange metal creature speak, she almost instinctively started thinking about just that.

'Wouldn't making them have to resort to violence to keep the right to their memories make things even more prone to violence?', she kept thinking.

For now, though, she just came back to observing the conversation - hoping it went back to comedy more than war story.

[Jaxom Ursae]

He gave a chuckle. "I'd book them, if I had a club. Are you familiar with Bellionas?"

She shook her head, “First time. You?”

"It's been years since I've been there." he answered.

[Lassa Tenro]

“How long have you been away?” She asked.

[J-Richo Toboga]

"It's not that I fear scrapping per say, it's that I can't risk it until I complete my new primary directive."

''And what is it, exactly?''

[The SCaT Droid]

"Find out why even though we had over 1000 droids for every clone, we still couldn't complete our objectives. With the numbers we had even at the first battle of Geonosis, there should have been a complete victory. Only 1 out of every 5 droids were deployed that day, almost makes you think they weren't trying to win."

[Jaxom Ursae]

“How long have you been away?” She asked.

"Eight years." he answered. "Just before all hope was lost."

[Lassa Tenro]

“Hope?” She asked. “Heading to a hopeless planet?”

[Jaxom Ursae]

"We were Separatists." he explained. "We wanted independence from the Republic. But, Jedi came with the clones. Then the Republic became the Empire. Everything changed."

[Zimrzala Skalirz]

"We were Separatists." he explained. "We wanted independence from the Republic. But, Jedi came with the clones. Then the Republic became the Empire. Everything changed."

As she heard these words, the Mikkian turned her gaze towards the human, some sudden interest showing in her eyes.

She had heard some rumours... but apart from 'something interesting', they were quite unspecific. Was she heading to another world where many believed the Jedi had somehow caused the Empire to happen?

She shook her head slightly, quickly looking away and walking to the bar herself.

Strict discipline or not... something like this deserved a drink.
