[video] un: k2so
[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]

[ Luke laughs. Nice to know he's not the only one from home around here. ]
What's your name?
no subject
I am K-2SO. You do not have the proper mannerisms of an Imperial. I assume it is safe to say you are not one?
no subject
Imperial?
[ Luke laughs again. Not the first time he's been accused of that, but he still finds it hilarious. ]
No, nothing like that! I'm Commander Luke Skywalker. I'm with the Rebellion.
no subject
I've never heard of you.
[FLATLY SAID. As if he were unimpressed.]
[BUT, he does add, a moment later;] But there are several commanders and I am not privy to all of that information, nor would I want to be.
Which is to say, I am with the Rebellion as well.

You are? That's great!
[ Kind of. They're still stuck here. ]
You didn't sound like an Imperial droid anyway.
