[A video! Of a DROID. A dark faced droid with white photoreceptors looking at his video feed. If droids could have facial expressions, his would be confused, or annoyed, or a bit of both really.]

Handy man. I was assigned to be a handy man at a place called Nuts and Bolts. What an absurd name for a business. If they understood my capabilities they would understand they are well above “Handy Man”. I am not some simple labor droid.

[He pauses his rant, head lifting and looking back and forth, before continuing to speak again.]

This situation is abnormal. The odds that they are lying however appear to be low. The situation I recorded last was ... not good, so this could be considered a vast improvement. I am, however, unfamiliar with some of the technology here. They could have at least equipped me with some upgrades instead of this communication device.

[What a string of complaints! Oh right, this device. He looked down to it again, stared, then lifted his other hand near it.]

I am K-2SO. I am looking for those who may understand the call sign of “Rogue One” ... which is also an absurd name.

That is all. [and he would cut the feed unless someone replies to this. The odds of someone replying are high. The odds of it being someone he actually knows are about middle ground. That, to him, is being optimistic and hopeful]

[Droids. He is a Droid. Robots have very little AI to them.]

[Thankfully the other corrected himself anyhow, so that is good.]

It would be impossible to be programmed to understand every single planetary systems technology, especially if the system has never been in contact with the one I am from. Most planets and systems have been in-development with the Galactic standard system for some time, but when a primitive planet is discovered for the first time their technology will... differ. This is no different for galactic systems that have never interacted before.

Thus it is logical that the systems here are unknown to my programming, seeing as I have never had to deal with them before. Looking into an upgrade would be useful.

[You asked.]

[And how! He sure did... explain. Hmm.]

Soooo let me get this straight—you're a super cool space droid and you understand everything about not understanding everything, but you're still going to complain about it?

[In the end this is completely reasonable to Junpei, but just to be clear that that's the level of Done going on here.]

What if you get alien computer viruses?

[k_2so]

[Did you NOT want him to explain? He could have just called it all 'stupid' and been done with it.]

I don't think you have that straight at all. There is nothing in my systems that need me to be 'super cool'. I run at a moderate temperature for my make and model. As for understanding everything, that is an impossibility. I do not believe my hardware is capable of holding endless knowledge. You must not know droids very well.

But yes, I will complain for as long as I like, until there is no more point in complaining.

As for computer viruses, I have never had to deal with such. My systems are well kept.

[That would have been cool too, honestly, but...!!]

No, uh... I mean, I've met a couple droids. Technically, I think, if we're using the same terms universally here.

[But anyway.] It was a compliment, you know. "Cool"? Like "wow, that's cool"?

[k_2so]

It has been interesting to find just how many people from other places have experience with my kind.

[His head tilted, considering what was said.]

"Cool". A compliment. Cool is slang for... 'good'?
