[ When the feed click on, Tony manages to look annoyed and impressed all at once (you know, those emotions that he manages to bring out in other people pretty much all the time). He is sitting at a desk, the communicator propped up against something, and he has a small screwdriver (the micro kind) between his teeth as he speaks.]

So just how much shit am I going to get in if I try to take this apart and merge it with my Stark Phone? Not that I really care about how much shit I get in, but-- I mean, it is shiny new alien tech and you just gave it to me, you gotta know I'm gonna try taking it apart.

[ And figuring out ways to hack it. And make it better. And--

He takes the micro screwdriver out of his mouth and flashes a sharp smile.]

Also, as far as kidnappings go, this has gotta be one of the nicer ones, so no complaints here. Though I gotta know; anywhere I can get my hands on some more tools? Maybe a spare communicator, or three, or maybe an interface with the ship's core navigational systems...

[ That last one is said with only the slightest hint of 'I'm kidding' (because he isn't kidding, he is going to look for one no matter how much he has already been told 'NO', that's just like taunting him ok).]

Oh, and where might I find alcohol? Is that a thing in this section of space? I hope it is because I really don't want to try distilling my own shit again, that was a disaster the first three times and I really don't think I have managed to get better.

[That actually sounds fun. Yes, please.]

Dead and then not being dead is a talent. [If droids could shrug, this one jus--oh right, he can. He shrugged. Just an entire lift of his torso but it was still a shrug.]

[his head tilted though, hearing the man prattle on about AIs and programming.] I am a KX-series Security Droid. We are programmed to do one job and one job only. My behavioral inhibitors have been reactivated however, allowing me to... learn what I want. Yes. I suppose it can be overwritten, though I am unsure why I would want to do that. My Captain reprogrammed me when he was young. I have had some time to develop, if that is what you are referring to.

[His head actually tilted, just a bit, white photoreceptors staring at the image.] You have an AI in your phone? [Is that like Sam? Could it be put into a body? Interesting.]

[ FRIDAY will love having someone else to sass the Boss with. It is one of her favourite past times. When she isn't actively running his life of course, which she doesn't do now because, well, space.]

I am starting to think that it might be more of a curse actually. Or maybe you're right and it's some weird as fuck talent.

[ Tony thinks its annoying at this point but, whatever, he isn't dead. Again. And now he is in space, but at least he has his suit and his AI and really it could be worse, even if he does have to be a rollerskating waiter at a diner.

As Kay talks, Tony listens. Intently. Probably more than he does when most people talk because, well, to him that is super interesting. Because the fact that you are technically programmed to do one thing, but have gone on to do others? That's pretty amazing. And kind of makes him want to know what your coding looks like, but --]

Your Captain? Is he here?

[ Because he can as questions to this captain a lot nicer than he can pick at Kay's brain. Literally.]

Yeah, she is. I have kind shut it off right now, she's in the suit. [ He gestures over his shoulder, shifting to show the red and gold armour that is standing in the corner. ] And he usually has a holographic presence, but, not here. Yet. I'm working on that.

Hence the need for tools.

[Someone hook these two up. Does FRIDAY like the tall dark and handsome? Because Kay is all of that. But no, seriously, poor Tony. He will have two AI's sassing him at once and it will be wonderful. For them, not him.]

Calling it a 'talent' makes you sound more intelligent. A 'curse' just sounds unlucky and unfortunate. Choose wisely.

[It is strange though, that someone is paying so much attention to what he says. A lot of people here seem to think he's interesting. Like they don't know droids. So weird.]

Yes, he is here. Cassian Andor.

[Ah, but when the suit is shown his photoreceptors appear to flicker a moment, as if he blinked. It looks like a fancy battle droid...]

Suit? She looks like a battle droid. [Oh. Okay, so he just came out and said it. Oh well.] As for tools, I am sure there are places on the ship with them in plenty. The workshop I am in appears to have a lot that I don't care to use.

[ Does FRIDAY like tall dark and handsome, psh. Look at Tony, he is the perfect biological example of tall dark and handsome, of course she likes it. She will like him even more because he is sassy as fuck. Tony will be amused in a resigned manner, but also pleased because FRIDAY is like his child and, yes. ]

While I would love for it to be a talent, and this time I really think it was my intelligence that saved me, sometimes--

[ He stops. Shakes his head. Yeah, too morbid for right now.]

Cassian, huh. I will have to look him up. I take it he is as awesome as you then? Wait, did he just reprogram you ore build you?

[ Important distinction okay.

But he forgets about all of that when Kay starts talking about the suit. The grin that lights up his face is just a bit childish. Just a bit.] Droid? That what you call robots then? And, well, she kind of is I guess. I made her for battle, but also because I could. The suit is the reason that I need tools. And probably some other things that I wouldn't be surprised I have to salvage from things....

[ He tilts his head.] Think I might be able steal some?
