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.

	I would never, ever make it a keyword that you would say on the random. ~~Unless I was trying to~~ I miss the internet. I got a lot of cultural education from it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't think anyone would do that. But it probably is still good to be safe with people who aren't used to these things. I hadn't really had time to explore it enough. I suppose it's time for a vacation, I just wish ~~Kanan~~ more of my crew were here to enjoy it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Safe is boring, but they won't come back and buy more things if they're dead. It's huge. Not as big as our databanks back home, but I learned a lot about that world in a very short time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe there's a market among those of us here that are used to a little more? I'll have to check it out when I get back, assuming that we do go back I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Let me fix your remote to be a bomb in case of emergency." I don't have any clue. Everyone else seems to think so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You and Sabine would get along well. At least, I think you would. She always enjoys explosives. Time will tell I guess, in the meantime maybe I should try out an umbrella drink. I've never really had one. (Reply to this) (Parent)
