Hey! Do you need a tune-up on your prosthetic arm or leg? How about your automobile or toaster?

Doctor Aphra specializes in making things better. You want a new hand that can withstand blasters? I'm your doctor! You want someone who can upgrade to make that hand of yours cool off your drink without ice? I'm your girl. You want your droid to shut his mouth more often? I'm your girl..

	I could probably figure something out over time when/if I run out of stuff here. Might see if I can get a sample of it. Please. Separatist. A lot of old warehouses on the outer rim. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I REALLY hope this doesn't involve any detaching. If it does, we need to call in a surgeon. No offense. Not those ridiculous B1 battle droids, I hope. I can at least respect the design work done on droidekas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can look at it and look at preliminary stuff without detaching. No offense.

Not that time, but there's a huge black market for those with the right upgrades. (First of all, giving them much better plating.) Rollies are more what weapons dealers want. They already started with a good baseline on those. I'm curious why didn't think roll out a bunch of those instead of the B1s. I get overwhelming with numbers, but a couple droidekas could take out so much more.

Good. Like I said, not designed for that, so the way things are connected to my nerves really needs a surgeon.

It didn't make strategic sense in terms of assuming the war was actually between the Republic and the CIS with each trying to win the war for their side. When you look at it instead under the real plan of dragging out a divisive, galaxy-wide war to consolidate power and make your enemies look like warmongers... cheap, mass-produced droids end up being just fine,

I had a few good ones back home who would work with me for these type of things. Not Cylo types. That guy was a whack job.

The B1s are useful. I think I've got some parts around here. Enough to put one together. Could make it a BUTLER droid. Ha.

So the whole Clone Wars was just a big ploy to gain power? I'm [...] I'm not surprised, but I really believed in the Empire. That they were bringing peace, even if it wasn't always what people wanted.

	I probably should have looked into this already to see who here is up for this work. Not a local doctor, obviously. As for Cylo... you are correct. Oh, a friend for Triple-Zero to proselytize to about overthrowing the fleshy ones. Exactly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Usually, I find mixes of things interesting as hell. There was a Captain who tried to stop us from getting Rur who had cybernetics. Wish I'd gotten a chance to ask her about them. But mixing other species? Where'd he get the other species?

I'll make my own little army of droids. Here's a clanker. Here's a psychotic protocol droid. Here's an astromech that spews oil when he gets nervous.

Well, that's extremely disappointing. Like life-shatteringly disappointing. I was behind it cause beings need order, you know? You leave us to our own devices and we'll fight. That's just nature. I'd just wished there was a BETTER Empire out there. ~~I thought you were the better~~

	I doubt they volunteered. He used subpar techniques and materials, too, yet he thought he was so clever. It was all for his own personal power over the galaxy, not to actually improve anything for anyone else. He would claim it was about peace and order, but that's a lie. He was perfectly happy to allow and even encourage conflicts that suited him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra 2017-11-16 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I kinda suspected that. Thus the sarcasm. Hey, if he shows up here, can we strap him down and let Trip do his thing on him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	balancetheforce 2017-11-16 03:48 am UTC (link)
	It's a pleasant thought, but we'd be unlikely to succeed. The Emperor's power is considerable. So make sure the droid is highly resistant to electrical disruption. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra 2017-11-16 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Come on, look at who we got here. You. Luke. Ren. Leia. That kid Anakin who I'm assuming is related to you. I bet between you guys you could stop him. And then Triple Zero can torture the kriff out of him. But there's some upgrades he'd very much like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	balancetheforce 2017-11-16 03:59 am UTC (link)
	My grandson, yes. And I know it may seem like that's more than enough, but the Emperor has successfully battled multiple Jedi Masters simultaneously. His physical form is weaker, but he is stronger than ever in the Force. I will kill him soon enough, but it's going to cost my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's unacceptable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My understanding of what is to come is that the options will be limited. It is not something I can change, and it isn't part of what I remember. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kriff that. When I get sent back, I'm going to stop that AND save Skywalker. Both of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're going to somehow get into the Emperor's throne room, on the second Death Star, and stop him from electrocuting both of us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aw, damn. Another Death Star? More places for me to go in unseen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean, the classics are usually classics for a reason, but like — how long did the first one take to build? And how long did it take for the second one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	balancetheforce 2017-11-17 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	The first one was under construction for more than twenty years until completion. The second will never be fully completed, but it will be operational after almost four years of construction before its destruction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oof. That's some fast work. Bound to be a lot of errors in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	balancetheforce 2017-11-18 12:47 am UTC (link)
	A project of massive size and a flawed design already proven to be a failure, built by millions of laborers, mostly conscripted, working at breakneck pace-- have ERRORS? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra 2017-11-18 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	I could definitely exploit that. The Emperor seems to be relying too heavily on HUMAN workers. All the Stormies are human too. What's up with that? Is Palpatine a speciesist? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
