Upon powering its vision, the replica droid spotted a Rodian repairing its lower half of the body that was detached from the rest, seemingly by a high heated weapon due to some pieces of metal and a few cables appearing to have been melted down, the synthskyn appeared to have burned down on the damaged spots. Multiple blaster fire? Possible, but some of it appear to be a clean cut, too precise to be consecutive blaster fire, maybe a laser device or a lightsaber. Annotations made to check the mission log for that detail later. The right arm was ripped off from the socket, leaving exposed the mechanical parts and cables that were attached to it. As the Rodian noticed that the droid was aware of its surroundings, he started speaking but it took a few seconds until its hearing sensors kicked off. As soon as it started it could sense some sort of music coming from another room and a occasional explosion or blaster fire. Is it still in danger?
-Ah, i see you're finally awake! Don't try to move, i still gotta fix you into shape. Quite a load of damage you took, pissed off a Wookie or somethin'?- The Rodian asked, not displaying any concern for the noise coming from the other side of the door.
-Unlikely. A bow caster wouldn't cut a unit on half with such precision. This unit's data bank is currently accessing the mission log to identify the cause of the heavy damage, and why the self destruct protocols didn't activate.- Upon furter analysis it couldn't find any reference to the Rodian in the logs, and definetely not this place. - Inquiry. This unit doesn't have any information on its data bank about you, mechanic. Nor does it have any information about its current location, is it still in Kashyyyk?
-It? Unit? Oh, you're not programmed to fake humanoid expressions like the other HDR? Maybe an prototype? No matter.
I found you while i was hiding at Kashyyyk a year ago, half of the synthskin on your face was gone and the only thing still untouched was the memory core, i couldn't access it nor i had the time for a memory wipe. I first wanted to repare you to be a security guard, but you appeared to be too dangerous so i removed your weapons, even though i didn't want to risk activating or fully repairing a murder android so i just kept you as an last resource. We're on Centares now.
The android just kept staring at the Rodian in front of it, trying to process why he sounded so calm about this situation, aren't organic beings supposed to be full of emotion? If its an emergency it explains the blaster sounds outside, but why he is so calm about it? Its obvious that he isn't a simple mechanic, he must work for someone, mentioning the memory wipe sort of triggered its sensors of danger, if he tries to do something that would interrupt its mission, he would be properly terminated. However, his knowledge on droids appear to be quite astounding, since he appears to have perfectly fixed the synthskin on its face, the main functions and is skillfully conecting the lower half with the rest of the metalic body.
-Possibility. This emergency you speak of is about the fighting outside? If so, warning, this unit requires its weapons to be capable of warfare. Inquiry. This Unit requires to know why it must deal with this emergency, and what happens to this unit after it.
-Ah, a pragmatistic, a assassin droid it is! Now i know why your data bank is so hard to crack, alright, here's the deal!
I can't fully repair you, i don't have the synthskin required to aply to the detached areas and i don't have the materials to replace some damaged components, do that for me and you get to keep all the weapons you'd get from those bandits, aside from a few credits to book a ship to your destination.
The droid takes a few seconds to proccess the information and to come up with the most logical choice avaiable while the Rodian finished up reparing its arms. He seems to be waiting for a response before finishing up his repairs. Unit 422's self repair system was completely damaged and it means that it can't do it repairs itself, aside from being stranded on a planet that isn't listed on its mission log. If the Rodian information is to be trusted, it has been at least a while since the droid was almost terminated, it needs to get back on the mission and update itself as soon as possible and the fastest route would be to play ball until he gives it what it wants, he won't be any use to it dead.
-Warning. This unit still requires a weapon to be able to proceed with this newfound deal.
The Rodian still displays no emotion, like it already had played out in his mind, he grabs his blaster pisol that was tied to his leg and finishes up attaching the arm, puting the blaster on it. -Good, now go out there before they destroy all my defense protocols, my poor droids that i've worked so hard to fix... damn pirates! Oh and yes, don't forget to put your clothes on, they will help you hide your mechanical parts, aside fom keeping your innards... in!
The droid seriously considered simply leaving the Rodian when it received just a blaster, where is the wrist mounted rockets? Normally it would ask for information before heading out to face an unknown foe but this isn't under normal circunstances, the Rodian might be able to explain what happened in detail and keeping him alive might be worth it, for a while. It got dressed and made sure that the targeting systems were online before heading out. The unit's fighting power is significantly low at this state, less than 30% of its total fighting capability but it has to be enough to kill pirates, an assassin droid is good at killing, the circunstances only adds more challange to it. Upon stepping out of the room the unit saw a total of 13 heavily equiped mercenaries, with blaster rifles, grenades and even a Zabrak with a rotary blaster cannon gun, the others were Rodians. The droids were all scattered in the cantina, hiding behind counters and trying to hit something other than the ceiling, most of them were utility and protocol droids reporpused for a fight, most of them with just a blaster in the place of a hand and their programming also wasn't prepared to deal with the situation. After taking a complete look at its surroundings, it immediately took cover on a nearby collumn and memorized the locations of the hostiles and when it got out of cover, it made sure to headshot three rodians in a row but was quickly suppressed by the Zabrak before it could make anymore damage. If it had decent cover it could wait until the rotary cannon overheat to fire on its wielder, but the column doesn't seem do to be holding all that well, the Zabrak is ripping it to shreds.
OFF information:
This unit is a HDR, one of the early models to be made a few years after the birth of the Galatic Empire. It was developed by LeisureMech Enterprises and sold to the black market as an assassin droid, working for a unknow employer until it got heavily damashed on Kashyyyk a few years ago, the target was a non-force user, but she might have crossed some sort of dark jedi or sith at hiding during her mission.
The pirates are after the Rodian because they had a deal, they brought in stolen droids and they would pay him to repair them and later sell it to the black market, after a huge shipment he repaired them and immediately sold them, running away and keeping all the money to himself.
This is open to all.
