Jedi Academy

Byron was back at the scene of the fire, well one could hardly tell there had been a fire now, and it had been a few weeks. The speeder was there, in all its blackened glory, nothing that some paint and hard work could not fix. He pulled up a Datapad to bring up star charts and then started putting the new tool kit he had been gifted to work.

The tool kit brought him a smile, and this time he would get the old girl actually working and not start a meltdown. He turned to the droid that approached and said, “No, I don’t need fire suppression, you bloody droid. Who programmed you to be such a smartass, never mind be useful and start the diagnostic checks, I doubt I will get her finished before I leave but I might as well get some work done.”

The droid beeped back in a less than reassuring manner.

Byron replied, “I am going to have to adjust that personality matrix.” While the droid setup for work he turned to the Datapad and started collecting data on nearby star systems and hyperlanes trying to cross-reference worlds that were within a week to two week travel time from Illum.

OOC: Would this be Average Astrogation?

"Beep-boop-phweeee!" the droid bleeped indignantly at the indication that it needed its personality matrix adjusted. The nerve of kids these days.

OOC: It would be Average Astrogation to locate every single possible hyperline and world within that parameter yes, though time-consuming. It's a big galaxy.

Byron gave the droid the Jedi side eye technique as he worked on the Datapad. He never liked droids, far too uppity for his tastes. He focused back on the task at hand as it was a big galaxy, he figured he might have to narrow the list to planets with any significant happenings attached to Jedi or the Jedi Order.

OOC: Great success.

Astrogation Average: 4eA+2eD 2 successes

OOC: To narrow down your search, you may use Computers at Hard difficulty to check it out with the Jedi Archives' database (as it requires you to look into some things that are a bit restricted), or you may roll Knowledge (Outer Rim) at Hard difficulty.

Byron watched the droid as he accessed the Jedi databanks and said, “Don’t you go running your circuits about this, droid. I am doing official Jedi business, on official hardware, for somewhat official reasons.”

“Just focus on what you are doing, keep your ocular devices to yourself.”

OOC: Success with threat...

Computers Hard: 4eA+3eD 3 successes, 2 threat

"Phweee-beep-blurt-boop!" the droid stamped around a bit, obviously not believing Byron's words fully.

While you're sure you've narrowed down the search to one planet by cross-referencing the Jedi archives... you're also pretty sure that your search did not go unnoticed.

OOC: your result.

Byron looked at the droid, “Well that was quite useful, not you… of course, with your incessant beeping and yammering. You know if I had my pick of any other droid…”

He sighed and said, “Just tell me you got the diagnostics all prepped and ready to go so we can try and get this speeder running again. I promised Lunda I would have it up and running before she got back and all I have done is set it on fire. Not a great start to Operation Red Baroness.”

“Make a note droid, get red paint,” he added.

"Breeep-thwuuum." Of course it had done what it was told to do. It was a dutiful little droid.

At the mention of red paint, he got a chipper "Bwoom-whoom-beeeep!" in return. Red paint - noted. Red makes it go faster.

Byron quirked his brow at the odd droid and said, “You are one odd droid. Come on; bring the tool kit here while I get under the hood. This time will be different.”

Together they take apart the damaged parts of the engine and then rclean the parts and put it back together. He turns on the engine and it purrs with only a slight whirring sound. It’s only then he notices a hydro-sparker on the counter, which was not there when he started and definitely looked like it came from the speeder… not to mention the extra hydro-screws in his pocket.

“Hrrm… droid, you’re sure we put in everything… right?”

OOC: Successful, but threat used to find that he has extra screws and a part that he can't remember where it went now...

Mechanics Average + setback because fire and smoke damage: 3eA+1eP+2eD+1eS 2 successes, 4 threat

The droid whirred around a bit. "Brrrt-pwheee." If there were any mistakes, it was the flesh-bag's fault. Not droid fault.


---

OOC: Sure. And GM Destiny flipped for it... for the future.

Byron shrugged and set about looking at his work and was pleased. Just needs a new paint job and then the interior, but otherwise I say we… even you droid, did good work today. I mean did all the heavy lifting but you did whatever droids do.”

“Pat yourself on the chassis, or whatever you do. You earned it, at least this time.”

Lacking proper limbs or digits to communicate what flesh-bags would normally do, the droid settled for the best droid-option.
