–dear. This doesn't look right at all.

[The perspective shifts from the skewed angle of the temple to a shiny, gold-plated head. The pair of eyes shine brightly as they look at nothing in particular, the politeness in C-3PO's voice coming in clearer now. It barely wavers as he continues prattling on.]

Oh no. I'm certain I was never deactivated within the past few minutes! This hallway seems to have changed. [He sighs, shaking his head.] And everything was going so well– wait a minute. [He looks up.] Artoo? Artoo, where did you go?

[Taking a look around, he has failed to notice the Acolyte that approaches him.]

You can't have disappeared on me. You don't even move that fast. I knew I couldn't count on you for anything.

[In the middle of this, he realizes he still has the comlink in his other hand. Again the angle shifts, now giving a perspective of the droid's upper body.]

Master Luke? Oh! I forgot I turned it off. [Click.] Master Luke? Are you there, sir? Sir?

[For a droid, he looks a little perplexed.] No, I have not–

[And then he turns around, finally seeing the Acolyte up close and personal. He screams.

Hold on, he'll be a moment.]

[Kay is just finding this absolutely hilarious.]

THERE HE IS! SAY HI!

[SO VERY HELPFUL, KAY]

I don't want to say hi!!!

Well, I guess you could say 'good morning' instead, but that's more for...you know. Morning. I can never tell what is and isn't morning here anymore. The stars above don't really help.

Oh! I'm afraid I have no other choice at this point!!

I will do what I was programmed to do – a quick greeting and an explanation never hurt anyone. I hope.

That's the spirit! Don't worry, they won't hurt you.

They'll tell you what's going on though, unless you want me to give you the rundown.

You better be right. I will try to be right back.

...Perhaps you can fill in some of the spaces?

You got it, Mister! I'll answer what they don't cover. Don't you worry, I'm an expert in this field.

All right. You better be telling the truth.

[He starts to shuffle off reluctantly to get that briefing from the Acolyte.]

[And she'll just wait here for your return. With that huge smile on her face.]

[It certainly takes long enough. Maybe a few minutes, even. Because once he comes back, he looks visibly shaken.]

...I'm doomed.

That's the spirit!

...wait no. That's wrong.

Of course it's wrong! I have just been told I can't go back! There's nothing good about this!

Well yeah, there's that. But don't worry! Plenty of people will help you out here!

But what about where I've disappeared from? What about Master Luke, Captain Solo, and Princess Leia?

What about Artoo?!

Hm...I've never heard of any of them, but I'll SO keep an eye out for you!

...What's an Artoo?

Oh! Thank you–

An Artoo? Oh, no, Artoo is an astromech droid. "R2-D2" is his identification number, and he's about 0.96 meters tall. He also has a blue dome and a devious look in his primary lens.

Really? He sounds like my kind of droid.

Is he with you? Can I meet him?

If he was, I wouldn't be burdened with the fact he's missing! But if there is a possibility of him being here, I'm certain he wouldn't be too hard to find.

And if he is here, he's so going to get it.

Okay, well, I'm gonna help you search for him, okay? We'll make flyers and everything! Post them on every temple! Get the dogs out!

Have them search every nook and cranny!

[She quiets down to a whisper, as if to sound more epic.]

Every nook and cranny.

You mean you would go out of your way to help me? Oh, thank the Maker!

I am forever in your debt, Lady!

Well sure! I mean, if I was new here, and I was once, I'd want someone to help ME!

And you can just call me Kay!

I suppose that makes sense. It's hard to find good help these days.

Very well, then, Lady Kay. Thank you again for your assistance.

If you ever need me for anything, just look for my name on the Link, okay?

And if you see Artoo, tell him Kay wants to meet him! I'll keep an eye out.

Oh, yes! I will make note of this.

Thank you again!
