GOOD NEWS: Triple Zero did not come on this journey. NO MURDERBOT!

BAD NEWS: MY WORKSHOP IS NOT HERE. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

	I hadn't even quite figured out what I was going to do in Tumbleweed. What sort of workshop do you have? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I fix intriguing artifacts (namely Droids), repurpose them, and then sell them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thus the murder droid? I've got an old astromech named Chopper and he isn't a murder droid... most of the time. Had you found much call for it in Tumbleweed yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Have you ever heard of the Tarkin Initiative? 0-0-0 was a protocol that was deemed too dangerous, so they shut it down. But this thing is a real beauty and shouldn't be kept in some dark hole in the ground. I may not be the best judge of character for that. He constantly threatens to kill me.

A few people. I worked on a droid/robot for another of the Displaced. I worked on Skywalker's prosthetic. Anakin, not Luke. I did a few things here and there for people outside of the Displaced. Nothing fancy, but you know, electronics like microwaves and things.

Tarkin as in the Grand Moff? I think that sort of thing would make me a bit nervous about having him around. On the other hand, Chopper grumbles constantly, so perhaps I shouldn't judge.

It's a transferable skill set it seems then. I can fix some things, but I didn't work so much with droids and that sort of fixing. Then we ended up here and my list of 'possible occupations' became moot.

That doesn't mean I'm still not sure what we should do. I've ever been on a pleasure cruise like this - or even considered it a possibility.

Yeah, but 0-0-0 predates Tarkin himself. Beetee, on the other hand, was definitely created within the Tarkin Initiative, just not kept there. I had to get Trip to be able to wake up Beetee.

Their tech is ridiculously easy. I'm always tempted to sup it up, but they tell me I shouldn't do that. A toaster with a self destruct button! Imagine. Home invaders, just throw it at them!

I was doing the whole relaxing thing when I got pulled to Tumbleweed, so I figure I'll just pick up with my fruity drinks and getting a tan.

I haven't had time to play around with it much, but you're making me think I would be able to handle it. I think the important part would be making certain they know what they've got in their hands so there aren't any accidental self-destructions.

That's as good a place to start as any. It seems there is a library so I suppose I could pick up cultural education.

	Don't know about that one. You could probably turn the livin' room into a workshop, I don't care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He has two masters, so he can't do anything without our permission. So you could get him really riled up and he could not do anything about it. I have my tools and the battle droid I was going to make into a butler. Trip's not exactly butler material. I just want someone to clean up after me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's very good news. Artoo is here, so it doesn't seem to be a "no droids" thing, just a "no murderbots" thing. I guess you'll just have to do whatever is here on the ship. (Reply to this) (Thread)
