[Hey, it's Luke Skywalker, sitting at his pastel desk. There's plenty of junk littered on it, mostly scraps of droid parts and tools, but the inquisitive observer will notice a few mystery vials of colorful chemicals, and a hypo of fast-penta scattered among the rubble.]

I noticed there aren't any service droids on the ship-- when I mentioned that to the captains, they said I should... make some? [Luke has a distinct look of 'what have I gotten myself into' on his face.] We definitely need some mouse droids and basic repair droids-- we already have good engineers, but this would help them out in a pinch. Do you think we need gonk droids?

[Well? Do you?]

Have you noticed any droids we could use? A 1B prototype couldn't hurt...

[That's right, request a droid, Luke might be able to make it for you eventually. He's serious. Though they probably won't have much in the way of lively personalities, who doesn't want a robot?]

Oh- and Doctor Yewll? Mr Banner? Ed? I know we discussed some kind of prosthetic... if I'm going to be making droids, I might need that sooner than later. [He kind of cringe smiles before cutting the feed.]

[Droids? Oh, robots. Akito's curious, he's never built anything so complicated before but he does love mechanical stuff]

You can build droids? [All his curious] I can guess what the repair ones do, but what do mouse and gonk droids do?

[t65]

Mouse droids are little repair units. Gonk droids are just walking power conservers. [With a shrug.] Do you have something that needs repairs?

[bloodredsky]

Oh neat.

Not at the moment, my AT are in one piece and they'd need special parts anyway if they broke. [Hopefully they do not anytime soon] I like mechanics and stuff though, so it's interesting to learn what other people know about. There's nothing like droids or anything even similar to the Moira at home.

[t65]

Well, tell me about your AT! Did you build it?

[bloodredsky]

Yep! They're motorised rollerblades, in a sense. [He takes a second to find somewhere to sit down so he can unlace one of the boots and hold it where the MID video will pick it up. They're basically rollerblades, only with two larger wheels instead of four smaller ones. Also for some reason the wheels are slightly serrated] AT stands for Air Treck. Each wheel has a miniature motor in them, that's controlled by a pressure plate inside the base of the shoe. The harder you press on it, the faster the motors go.

[t65]

Oh! I thought it was some kind of droid. [He grins.] So you can fly in those?

[Stop... giving him ideas...]

[bloodredsky]

[FUNNILY ENOUGH....]

It's not quite true flying, but if you're good with them it feels like it! With enough speed and knowing how to manipulate the air while you're jumping, it's almost like gravity doesn't exist, for a little while. It's really fun.

[t65]

[Well, he's interested, save all our souls.] Can you give a demonstration?

[bloodredsky]

[One moment, making sure the other half will roll with this--] Sure. The observation deck is big enough to work. I'm not sure how well it'd show on the MIDs though. [Putting the AT back on and lacing it up as he speaks]

[t65]

[Absolutely grinning,] I'll be right there.

[bloodredsky]

Alright~ [He'll be waiting!]
