#2v-r8

SWTOR + text posts - part 4

Redecorating our Tatooine Stronghold with the new farm stuff from the spring festival and more 🚜

Used a few of the 1k Zakuulan Prototype Medical Probes as farm hands ^^'

Baby Dianoga and the Low Atmosphere Miniprobe broke the Receptacle... You just can't leave them unattended ;-;

M4-Y10 is happy C2-N2 and 2V-R8 became friends <3 2V-R8 is not so sure about that 🤖

It occurred to me awhile back that there is no good reason why any of our OCs should trust the service droids assigned to them. In every case, they may have alternative motivations and hostile intentions.

1) Jedi Knight / Jedi Consular - These droids are issued to you along with your ship on Coruscant. In the case of the JC, you get it from the council direcly. In the case of the JK, you get it from General Var Suthra. But even in the case of the future Hero of Tython, the Defender ships are specifically issued to Jedi. There is every expectation that the C2-N2 droid could be reporting your activities to the council. (Say, for example, if you choose to romance a companion.) The JK model could also be reporting to Var Suthra.

2) Smuggler - This droid was the property of Skavak. SKAVAK. The guy who stole your ship. The antagonist for all of Chapter One. C2-N2 claims that he serves whoever owns the ship. But its not like we can confirm that! He's just standing there. I mean, for all we know, he could be reporting on us to Skavak. (Or Risha, for that matter.)

3) Trooper - This droid could/should be reporting to Garza. Just think on that.

4) Sith Warrior - The droid - like the ship - is provided by Baras. 'Nuff said.

5) Sith Inquisitor - The droid - like the ship - is provided by Zash. 'Nuff said.

6) Imperial Agent - The droid - like the ship - is provided by Keeper and Imperial Intelligence. Whose job it is to spy on people. Now you can actually confront 2V about this likelihood, and he'll tell you that his photoreceptors (eyes) are not equipped for that level of detail. That is... not a strong defense.

7) Bounty Hunter - You stole this droid. And the ship it was on. After murdering the droid's master. I mean...  🤐

I feel the urge to write HK-55, C2-N2, and 2V-R8  (and maybe Z0-0M? Not sure if I can write her in a serious conversation) having a discussion about the Commander and the situation on Odessen either during or after KotET.  I’m torn between having the water cooler participate and spook everyone or have the water cooler -- who is sentient but without a speech modulator -- have a Kafka-esque crisis when he knows things the other droids do not but cannot warn them.
