Second Meeting Slot [D1|ME]

[Deonis Harik]

Deonis nodded to the message Mara delivered seemed like a good plan, nothing he could help with on a technical level but if they needed help moving things from point A to point B that was something that could offer. Regardless Mara knew how to get a hold of him if she needed anything.

-Snip-

With the address over the metal clad man scanned the crowd again this time his unreadable face plate landing on the man called Tenzig, unmoving for several seconds, inscrutable. Perhaps after looking long enough Tenzig himself might notice something familiar about the figure, obviously not their identity but the armor they wore while changed might be vaguely recognizable.

[Raven Cadera]

Raven had been observing the room, but found her attention drawn to the speech.

Not much talk of fighting, but situations like these... fighting would be inevitable. And hey, if there was no fighting, she could always lift away rubble and what-not.

... As she looked around, she spotted the familiar Karkodon, and... she couldn't quite place why Tenzing's face looked familiar. Seeing no immediate threat to Jyrvess, Raven moved over to Phroth, greeting him with a closed fist over her heart.

"Su cuy'gar, Tranq... no, it is Phroth now, yes?"

[Phroth Lissken]

"However you want to address me, Raven." He grinned at her, and with that infrasonic timbre, as well as the movement he made, others might suspect he was going to take a bite out of her.

Instead, strong arms wrapped around the warrior woman, squeezing her tight, a warm, tough embrace. "It's good to see you! I wouldn't insult you with how bad my mando'a is. Congratulations!" He laughed heartily, the moment appropriate after the speech.

"We should find something big and deadly, make a fine present, yeah?"

"We should find something big and deadly, make a fine present, yeah?"

Accepting the hug, Raven was probably among the few who could take such a powerful bear-hug from Phroth, while also squeezing him tightly in return. The Mandalorian woman had always had a sense of violence to her, the same one might expect from an apex predator, but for the Karkadon's enhanced senses it seemed more noticeable now.

"... Thank you." She nodded once. "Something big and deadly to hunt... that does sound like a good way to spend one's time. If time and terrain allows...? Have you been here on the planet long enough to find hunting grounds?"

For now, she accepted the situation being what it is. She hadn't lost Praxton - he still lived. And this wasn't the place to tell Phroth what had happened.

[Nimbo Toda]

Either Nimbo was ignorant to anyones sense of trepidation or curiosity about the clone, or he was intentionally ignoring it. He smiles to Jyrvess and Zimrzala, his face creepy in and of itself, but the physical action actually appearing completely natural. He notes their responses, but listens in to the message.

"Ive been sleeping at the press Mylar. I can help out of course. You know what I can do. Is that what you have been moving stuff around to prepare for?" His arm extended a bit revealing ports with tools for a moment before closing back up.

He then turns his attention back to Jyrvess and Zimrzala.

"Yes it is the dry weather, but also small bits of irritants in the air. My sensors are designed to calculate randomly when a sneeze would potentially happen and I walked through a bit of dust to attempt to trigger it," he replies. To Jyrvess specifically, "If you can do so at will, it would help my modeling significantly if you would allow me to record a few so I might incorporate them."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"...an odd request, but I can perhaps provide...Mister?" Jyrvess inclined her head slightly. As Raven and the Phroth spoke of hunts, she tensed a little...memories of days spent cleaning sand out of her equipment coming back.

Her attention was on the speech for much of it...she had a few concerns. "Pardon me a moment." She smiles to the small group she was standing near, "I will be right back."

Slipping over to Mara, she waited for the woman's attention.

[Nimbo Toda]

"Nimbo Toda," he responded. "And I appreciate it. My collection of sneezes is small compared to coughs and throat clears. It's a much less common action. And almost entirely unprompted." He nods at her leaving to speak with Mara. Strangely enough, it seems like it's the little things like nodding, shifting weight, eye contact and breathing that feel perfectly normal when conversing with him. If it weren't for the appearance and certain uncommon involuntary tics he tries to replicate, you might think you were speaking with a living human.

[The SCaT Droid]

"Nimbo Toda," he responded. "And I appreciate it. My collection of sneezes is small compared to coughs and throat clears. It's a much less common action. And almost entirely unprompted."

"So why exactly, do you want to copy a human? If you don't mind me asking."

[Mara Kayde]

"...an odd request, but I can perhaps provide...Mister?" Jyrvess inclined her head slightly. As Raven and the Phroth spoke of hunts, she tensed a little...memories of days spent cleaning sand out of her equipment coming back.

Slipping over to Mara, she waited for the woman's attention.

With Sera attending elsewhere, Mara was quick to turn her attentions to Jyrvess as she approached. With a slight calm smile she quirked a brow, "Is there something I can help you with?"

[Nimbo Toda]

"I don't so much want to copy individual humans. I am building automated subroutines to create my own personal identity as a sentient, both in physical appearance and activity. I wish for initial contact to result in me being seen firstly as a sentient being by any I meet. Biologicals are more comfortable with other biologicals," he explains. "So I'm approximating life."

[Tenzing]

"We're taking what hands are offered," she said, giving a half shrug. Turning from Mara and hers discussion for the moment. Turned to Tenzing she gave a half smile, which was more than most got with the sole exception of Mara. "Need hands that are willing to help set up the station for now so any pairs of hands will do."

"Well, you got mine. Maybe I can help keep some of these folks out of trouble." Although some of them looked like trouble magnets...

Politely he listened to Mara's pitch, nodding at the end. There was plenty he could do to help. Just needed to pick a direction. His eyes hovered over the masked suit of armour (Deonis) for a moment. It was heavily customised but recognisable. Of course, that didn't have to mean anything. Plenty of old suits of Clone Trooper armour kicking around in the galaxy.

Casually scanning all the faces, helmets, and head units he cleared his throat.

"So, welcome to Capitol City I guess. You all found a place to stay yet?"

[The SCaT Droid]

"I don't so much want to copy individual humans. I am building automated subroutines to create my own personal identity as a sentient, both in physical appearance and activity. I wish for initial contact to result in me being seen firstly as a sentient being by any I meet. Biologicals are more comfortable with other biologicals," he explains. "So I'm approximating life."

"So you believe it will be sooner for a droid to imitate all the intricacies of human behavior than for a government to recognize that droids very well could be sapient?"

[The SCaT Droid]

"Well, you got mine. Maybe I can help keep some of these folks out of trouble." Although some of them looked like trouble magnets...

Casually scanning all the faces, helmets, and head units he cleared his throat.

"So, welcome to Capitol City I guess. You all found a place to stay yet?"

"Negative, but I figured I could stay at the press. With the exception of when I am injured, I do not need rest."

[Tenzing]

"Negative, but I figured I could stay at the press. With the exception of when I am injured, I do not need rest."

"Hey, if Mylar's cool with that you might as well. Should be easy to rig up a charging station in there along with all the other stuff." Wouldn't hurt to have an occasional droid guard around the place. As long as it didn't make a habit of spitting oil on the floor.

[Nimbo Toda]

"No. Pre-existing governments are full of glad-handing, hypocritical, double-speaking fools. They won't change anything, no matter what we do," he replies with a shake of his head. "But individuals think for themselves, and that is who I interact with. I believe freedom for our kind can only really be found on an individual basis. We can make allies by proving our individuality and independent desires."

"I've been recharging at the press. Though I suppose it's about to get a bit more crowded. Though as long as I don't need maintenance downtime, keeping watch is something I can do to give time for biologicals to rest."

[Phroth Lissken]

Accepting the hug, Raven was probably among the few who could take such a powerful bear-hug from Phroth, while also squeezing him tightly in return. The Mandalorian woman had always had a sense of violence to her, the same one might expect from an apex predator, but for the Karkadon's enhanced senses it seemed more noticeable now.

For now, she accepted the situation being what it is. She hadn't lost Praxton - he still lived. And this wasn't the place to tell Phroth what had happened.

"Leah and I just arrived this morning. Haven't had much chance to range the terrain yet. There's a swamp I've heard about, but no sign of what may be game worthy." He released the Mandalorian, looking down to her. He waved to Jyr when he saw her, but his attention remained on Raven.

"Seems we might be more relegated to guard detail, at least for now, with what they're saying."

[The SCaT Droid]

"I've got my own fusion lantern and I don't take up much space."

[Raven Cadera]

"Leah and I just arrived this morning. Haven't had much chance to range the terrain yet. There's a swamp I've heard about, but no sign of what may be game worthy." He released the Mandalorian, looking down to her. He waved to Jyr when he saw her, but his attention remained on Raven.

"Seems we might be more relegated to guard detail, at least for now, with what they're saying."

"I see. I hope you both got through unscathed then." The two of them had probably taken the more normal route, instead of flying in under the radar like she and the other Mandalorians had.

Her head bobbed twice in a nod. "So it would seem... wouldn't be the first time I've been on guard-duty." As Tenzing spoke to the group, she tugged awkwardly at her cloak, thinking really hard. "... Why does he seem so familiar?" she thought out loud, sharing her question with Phroth.

[Jyrvess Ertil]

With Sera attending elsewhere, Mara was quick to turn her attentions to Jyrvess as she approached. With a slight calm smile she quirked a brow, "Is there something I can help you with?"

Jyrvess dipped her head slightly, "I suppose first I would like to offer what assistance I can...though my expertise is more on the software side then mechanical." She took a deep breath, "But more to the point, you mentioned a radio...are you meaning to keep it in one location or move it around?"

[Nimbo Toda]

"I've got my own fusion lantern and I don't take up much space."

"Doesn't bother me if you want to stay there. Not really my place to decide that. But it would be convenient to have another droid to perform mutual maintenance."
