[video;] un: gen.skywalker
First off, whoever built these buckets of bolts in the hangar bay need to be let go. This is what happens when you let factories churn out garbage in large numbers: who's quality checking?
[He is. He's been here all of a few days, and he's already sequestered in the hangar, lamenting (loudly) over the sad state of automated affairs. This is where the video starts: he has the communicator propped up a short distance away as he's digging into the mechanics of one of the robots that had glitched out and come to a jerking halt with a wrench still clenched in its hand.
He mutters something about matrices before finally looking back up. This isn't the real point behind the message, regardless of how distracted he currently seems.]
Sad state of mechanical affairs aside, I have a question. [He sounds suddenly hesitant, as if he honestly doesn't want to ask it at all. He even rolls his shoulders back uncomfortably, before taking a long, deliberate breath.] I'm looking for a sparring partner. Swordsmanship proficiency if I can find it.
[Hoping against hope, but he doesn't sound too hopeful at all. As far as he knows, those who can really challenge him in this area are all back home, and neither side of that equation has a way to get back to the other...yet.]
Might as well make the most of being stuck out here, anyway.

if your tech is advanced to this point
which is pretty modern for me
and you arent a weaboo
why are you wielding a sword and calling yourself a knight
is that the done thing where you come from
are you even a human
kind of rude of me to assume i guess
spacist even

All said and done, he finds himself more bemused by the question than anything.]
I am human, yes, but not everyone in my Order is. And I'm not sure it's a sword in the way you're thinking.
[Though the same principles still apply. The Order itself tends to frown on weaponry that doesn't belong to them exclusively, but it's not as if he doesn't understand what a standard blade is.]

unless youre trying to say its not a big shiny thing and then i would have to question whether its a sword at all
and ive seen a lot of weird swords
mostly because i made them weird</font
