[Video] :: Location - Junk Pile

[kick_astromech]

[The cylindrical droid in white and blue with the silver-domed top twitters and beeps a greeting. He goes on for a while in typical Binary, then pauses. Oh. Right. He should probably put that through in Basic since Threepio isn't here to play translator.

His image vanishes, replaced by scrolling text.]

[[Greetings; Designation = R2-D2, at your service. Said opportunities for service = Lacking. Inquiry as to open positions for occupation?

R2-series astromech droid, capable in starship repairs, navigational needs and running system diagnostics- well, normally. May need adjusting to local system processes...

...._]]

[A slightly annoyed row of beeps follows that admission. Well, maybe he'll try his hand at splicing soon... That oughta be fun.]

[Wh-what is that? He's never seen an alt like that, has no idea what it's supposed to be.]

Have you talked with Jetfire? He's the only one I know of who's been off planet.

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[[Negative. I haven't spoken with a Jetfire.

Was not aware that it was possible to travel off-world, given the circumstances._]]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

Well I think he did? He brought back some melons for the humans a while back. He'd be the one to ask, in case I got it wrong.

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[He chirps in consideration.]

[[Skyfire = Will see about contacting in regards to this. Thanks for the information._]]

[Private - audio]

[songofmypeople]

I'd be willing to offer a position.

[Private - Text] fhaoihfjflaTarn get out

[kick_astromech]

[[What sort of position?_]]

ARE YOU SURE? DECEPTICONS OFFER GREAT BENEFITS

[songofmypeople]

Something suited to your capabilities. But first, tell me, what would you like to do? Beyond your function; your interests -- should you posses them.

Trying to collect all the droids, eh?

[kick_astromech]

[[I would like to return to my corresponding galaxy, but that does not seem to be an option. My interests lie with my master's well-being._]]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

You considered a career in waste management?

[In other words, a trash can.]

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[Oh, it's you.]

[[Not a part of my programming, although from the looks of it, this place might need one. The trash is starting to build up._]]

[Back at you.]

[Video]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

[Oh it's so on.]

Yeah, just think, people are gonna use you as novelty ash trays.

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[[It'd take either some creativity or someone desperate to figure out a use for you._]]

[my_own_trope]

You don't look like much, but you don't happen to have any skills in jailbreaking do you?

[Private - Text]

[kick_astromech]

[[If you're requesting questionable favors then insults won't help you._]]

[my_own_trope]

... I'll apologise if you can get me out of here.

[kick_astromech]

[[Reason for current imprisonment?_]]

[Hold the phone. You said 'starship repairs'. That means you know how they work. But he's got to know more.]

Ship repairs, huh.

I've got a ship.

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[[Affirmative.

Status = Operational?_]]

[Video/Text]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Not yet. But only cause it's not finished. Got a guy doin' the finishin' touches, but other than that, needs a scan.

And an analysis.

[littlecrowgirl]

[Wow. Hi R2. She's totally smiling for some unknown reason. If you expected coherency from Kay, you're sadly mistaken.]

WOW. You're cute!

And I understood you! The beeps, I mean! HI!

[Have a wave.]

And I have no idea how!

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[....

You get all sorts here, don't ya.

Artoo tweedles inquiringly, then seems to sigh at the last.]

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Sorry Artoo. But you're stuck on the same planet as this one.]

Hey now, don't sigh like that. I don't really get it either!

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Ship repair, ya say?

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[Artoo offers a few beeps in confirmation.]

[[Affirmative._]]

[Video/Text]

[neverputincharge]

[The beeps get a smile out of him.]

Got any experience in buildin' them? Me a friend and others have been buildin' one fer a while. It ain't that far from completed, but we could always use another hand.
