[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]

It seems the jobs we are assigned on this ship are at random, if it makes you feel any better. But I would expect them to teach you of the technology on board if you are to repair it. You aren't the only one who's had difficulties with the technology here.

[are they really not training them?? or is this just preemptive complaining?]

[k_2so]

[Preemptive complaining! It really is. He just complains sometimes though. He's new and wandering and complaining because that seemed like the best thing to do.]

If that was "random placement" then the joke of placing a droid in a business called Nuts and Bolts was destined to be. None the less, I don't anticipate there being a problem with the job, other than I don't care for it. Learning the technologies should be as simple as an information update. Perhaps hardware upgrades, depending.

Well, by random I mean...[random with little ironies. like how the heckity heck did they know she liked flowers?? but she hates complainers that complain for the sake of complaining tbh.] well, nevermind.

Perhaps you can ask for a different job? What were you originally designed to do?

[because you know, you're a droid. sssso.....]

[k_2so]

[Look... he was reprogrammed by Cassian Andor. It's not HIS fault that he's this way (okay a little, really). Also, he doesn't complain all the time, there were just a lot of unanswered questions about what he left behind that are now being answered.]

I have been informed that I can switch jobs at a later date. My original make was for enforcement and security. I have been reprogrammed to be better than that.

[Rude. He's a great Droid]

[juniberries]

[well, she knows one human back home who'd be interested in meeting this Droid. maybe even two.]

Better than that? What do you mean? Enforcement and security sounds like a fine designation.

[she's asking out of curiousness, not out of doubt.]
