[(Accidental) Video] :: Location - Vector Prime's Temple

[kick_astromech]

[The image that's transmitted fades in and out at first, interrupted by lines of static. Something vaguely seems to be moving just in front of whatever the video source is, but it's extremely blurry as though the feed receiver itself is out of focus. It isn't long before that starts to adjust, and soon enough one can see the looming face of the Acolyte.

There's an electronic squawk in surprise, and the screen shifts, just as some sort of thin metal arm with a slightly pointed tip pops out from somewhere around the camera source. Electricity sparks from its tip as its jabbed towards the Acolyte's face, sending the large figure reeling back, more out of shock than actual harm.

Amidst a flurry of confused and slightly indignant beeps and twittering, the transmitted image continues to move, shifting to a more upright position before moving forward.

There's a simulated scream as whoever it is seems to find out the hard way that it's been placed on some sort of pedestal. Which is pre-tty high up.

It's a lovely first-person view of the ground coming to meet you, and a metallic, somewhat hollow sounding thud follows once the ground is hit, effectively blacking out the screen. Apparently it's still on though, a faint warble sounding, as well as the footfalls of the Acolyte's approach. Aaaand cut.]

You gotta watch that first step.

[It's a doozy.]

[kick_astromech]

[As he's preoccupied being helped up by the Acolyte, Artoo doesn't think too much on who or where another voice is coming from.

He does respond with a very flat sounding bleep though.]

Now back from void-land, sorry!

[skidaddle]

Vocalizer go offline in the fall?

[See, now he almost feels bad.]

<3!

[kick_astromech]

[That gets an almost confused sounding round of beeps. That's a droid he's talking to, right? What droid doesn't know Binary? ...unless it's some weird, fancy specialized model.]

<33!

[skidaddle]

[He hasn't heard it that bad since...well, since the electromagnetic storm of '86.]

Whoa, whoa, I can get you a medic if you need.

I know a good one. Slick, red, good with his hands...

[And attractive as a dense white star.]

[kick_astromech]

[Medic? Why would he need a medic? A mechanic, perhaps, but so far as he can tell, all systems are fully operational! He's a tough little thing, after all.

Twittering frustratedly, he twitches his dome back and forth, perhaps simulating a headshake.]

[UPROARIOUSLY LOUD OBNOXIOUS CACKLING.MP3]

[Audio]

[kick_astromech]

[Oh what. Someone's laughing at him? Shut up, punk! The droid rattles off a long series of beeps and chirps, sounding very much annoyed.]

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

S'weird, I dinnit know trash cans could make noises!

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[Wow, talk about rude. Artoo twitters irritatedly, capping it off with an electronic raspberry.]

[pendragon]

..Are you quite alright? [ Have a polite and concerned knight. ]

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[By now he's been set right-side up again by the Acolyte. At least this new voice- ah, a human? -isn't poking fun at him.

He whistles an affirmative, followed by a pattering of beeps.]

[pendragon]

[ That sounds.. positive, perhaps? The knight nods once, while looking at the robot curiously. ]

[kick_astromech]

[Oh. Right. She probably doesn't speak Binary. Few humans do. Well, time to see what all this weird upgrade can- ah. That works. The output switches to text.]

[[...testing..._]]

[pendragon]

That works. [ Saber smiles gently and then tilts her head. ] Your test was successful. [ So.. this was another refugee? This one was much more robotic than the Cybertronians.. ]

[kick_astromech]

[[Designation....R2-D2. Location = unknown. What planet is this?_]]

[sixthdeadliest]

[This is the temple that belongs to whomever branded Six, so he's just taking another look around to see if there's anything new he can learn. So he starts a bit at the "scream" and the thud. He turns to see the little thing get pulled upright by the Acolytes.]

[He walks cautiously over since his world tended to fail spectacularly at artificial intelligences and old habits were hard to break. Unless that was some sort of armor for whatever was inside. He crouched down.]

Whatever you're made of, it seems sturdy enough. Hardly a scratch from that.

[kick_astromech]

[The little droid twitters and beeps at the Acolyte, and then his dome swivels at Six's approach. Oh good! Someone more his size! Sort of.

He chirps at the man's assessment, even as he does a quick diagnostics check of his systems. He's had worse, he supposes.]

[sixthdeadliest]

I don't suppose you have any way to talk in English, do you?

[kick_astromech]

[Artoo's not familiar with that language, but he given as how somehow he's understanding the man, he supposes he must mean Basic. It's just too bad that he can't respond likewise. His domed head twitching back and forth in a no as his beeping response said as much. Not that Six understood Binary, anyway.]

[sixthdeadliest]

Well, you can understand it at least. That's better than nothing.

[Video]

[deusexraf]

...are you okay?

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[The droid chirps; a lot better than he'd been, he supposes.]

[Video]

[deusexraf]

Good. That wasn't exactly an easy fall...

I'm Raf. Who're you?

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[Tell him about it! Whose bright idea was it to put him up on a platform so high anyway? He beeps irritatedly- that definitely has to rank up there as one of the worst things to wake up to.

-oh right. Designation. He twitters at the kid; R2-D2, at your service! A pleasure, Raf!]
