[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.]

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._]]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

He's pretty friendly and I'm sure if nothing else you can share, you know, space stories.

[Whatever those are. He's a grounder. He doesn't get spaceflight.]

Can I--what, uh, what are you? I mean, I don't recognize your alt.

[Video]

[kick_astromech]

[[There's that.

Alt?

As earlier mentioned, I am an astromech droid._]]

[Video] oh gosh I apologize

[sword_redemption]

Yes, I mean, but, well...

[He ponders how to say this tactfully. Gives up.]

You need a medic? I mean, is your transformation cog malfunctioning?

[Because you're just...stuck in your alt, right? Or he's some weird reverse Monoformer.]

[Video] 'sokay xD

[kick_astromech]

[....]

[[Medic? = Unnecessary. All systems = Green. No cause for malfunction.

What do you mean by "transformation cog?"_]]

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

Oh? Well. I mean, if you're sure.

[You are sure, right?]

You know. That, uh, thing we use to transform?

[Clearly this poor mech has suffered some sort of terrible memory loss!]

[Video/Text] Ahahah xD;;

[kick_astromech]

[He beeps flatly.]

[[...astromech models do not transform. R2-D2 = Not Cybertronian._]]

[Video/Text]

[sword_redemption]

Oh.

[Embarrassed laugh. Wow, this is awkward.]

Right. Okay. Yeah, that would sure explain a lot. Like, you know, you're...uh....

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[An inquisitive warble. Like what, Drift?]

[Video/Text]

[sword_redemption]

Uh.

[Wow, he really is terrible at interpersonal stuff. If Rodimus were here....]

Like, uh, your [vague weird hand gestures] shape thing you've got going on there.

I mean, it's nice, but, you know, it's a little....unique?

[Unique is a good word right?]

[kick_astromech]

[[...

Astromech structure = Specifically designed for plug-in compatibility with starships._]]

[Video/Text]

[sword_redemption]

Oh. Right. I knew that.

[He totally didn't.]

Hey, but, you know, might not want to be too, you know, open about the plugging in thing.

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[Yeah, he figured.]

[[Problematic?_]]

[Video/Text]

[sword_redemption]

It's just, you know, modesty. Or something.

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[[Not sure I follow._]]

[Video/Text]

[sword_redemption]

It's just, you know, a little intimate.

[WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE oh Primus please understand what he's saying because he's so bad at this already.]

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[[...

Does not compute._]]

[Sorry, he's a droid after all. Why would he even think in such terms!]

[Video/Text]

[sword_redemption]

I. Uh. Well.

You know, uh, interfacing?

[Video/Text]

[kick_astromech]

[Quit while you're ahead.]

[[Standard programming._]]
