[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... Like -- What do you mean?

[She has... no frame of reference for that word. What does that mean? It looks like he might have parts of robots around there on that table, but that doesn't mean much. That may just be where he decided to make his video.]

[It takes Luke a minute to remember the proper world, like how frequently someone uses the word automobile transport versus car.]

It's short for android. A droid is... an automated robotic unit, I guess. They really don't have them on your system?

[quixotically]

Oh! We've got robots, sure. Aren't... all robots automated, though?

[Isn't that the point of a robot?]

[t65]

Who knows, with all the different systems we're from. But you've got them on your planet?

[quixotically]

Yeah. There are tons of them. I've got a good friend who's an eyebot, which is like... a floating radio, but with lasers. And I've got another friend who's an AI, he's helped me out... a lot. Um. And then there are the artificial personalities that I take care of. And that's just the tip of the iceburg.
