[Good day ladies and gents of Genessia, today your afternoon is interrupted by what it looks like a 7 feet tall robot. He doesn’t have a proper face but it’s surprisingly easy to tell that the droid looks irritated. Or at the very least done with everything.

Oh yes, Kay has seen the hologram and has memorized all the information given to him upon arrival, but none of that made any sense in the slightest. And now he has a very important and profound message to share.]

No.

[fierybluebird]

Yes.

[k2so]

[Every now and then, Kay wishes he could narrow his optics. This is one of those times.]

You might find being kidnapped and then abandoned in a strange place enjoyable but it's not my case. Nor I am fond of tacky jewellery.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Oh, is that all?

Can't wait to see how you react when you realize things get so much worse than that, yoi.

[Video]

[k2so]

That and sand it's a pain to clean from joints.

[And whole lot of more things, like Cassian and the rest of the rebels not being here.]

...

Elaborate.

[fierybluebird]

Head to the main part of the city of Nova. The useless jewelry isn't as useless as you think, it'll let you travel the gates. Nova has some good cyber-people and robo cleanup. Should have what you need to fix that.

As for the rest.... [Hand to his mouth.] No, I really couldn't spoil the surprise.

[Video]

[k2so]

I am aware of the stone's functions, doesn't make it any less tacky. A passcode would be more effective and easy to carry. But I appreciate the suggestion about Nova.

[He hasn't had a clean up in...well he can't remember, actually.]

I do not like surprises.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[Winks.]

Aye, maybe, but most everyone else comes from magical worlds where passcodes aren't a thing they can rely on well, eh?

Come now, surprises can be great! Like a puppy on your doorstep. [Or head, as a bat-looking "dog" (chihuahua) appears to be on Marco's head now. Just. No reason.]

[Video]

[k2so]

Magical worlds? That sounds illogical.

Or like a bomb in your bag...No, thanks. I like to keep unexpected situations to the bare minimum if I can help it.

What's your name?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

It is, but the universe is a strange place and even more so when the fabric of space and time is twisted up to create pockets.

Marco. Good luck preparing for all situations, it's not possible here, even with warning.

[bodhi_rook]

[Okay. That could be K-2SO or it could be a regular Empire droid... Bodhi wasn't certain but that simple 'no' made his suspicion and hope - rise.]

No?

[yuuwish]

[Yuuko tilts her head. She's spent centuries trying to teach humans than denying Fate is useless. Having to explain that to a robot would be a first, though.]

I'm afraid so.

[k2so]

[!!!!!!!]

[k2so]

[He would be offended to be compared to a regular Empire Droids, but not that surprised.

He's far too relieved to see the pilot to feel any annoyance.]

Bodhi Rook! You are here too. Did you manage to scape Scarif?

[k2so]

I see. [Logically speaking, Kay knows that defying fate ends as well as you would expect. However, if he had learned something from Cassian and Jyn, it was that you can still try to cheat fate.]

A shame, I know, but I'm not interested in partaking in this nonsense. Is there a space port?

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

[Well, it does help K2 to blend in.]

I... I don't know, really. There's was some sort of blinding white flash and then I woke up here.

Do you remember anything?

[yuuwish]

No. Only subarchways.

[She studies him for a bit.]

You're the brutally honest type, are you not? Then allow me to ask you this: do you believe being brought here was Fate or a mere accident?

[Video]

[k2so]

And who decides what people gets kidnapped? Who is in charge? The Empire?

K-2SO. I'm a security droid, I am made for war. I'll be fine.

[k2so]

Interesting but useless for what I had in mind. [And what the had in mind was to steal borrow a ship and get back to YAVIN IV, somehow.]

Is there a point to lying? I believe it was a mistake. I shouldn't have gone anywhere, I remember...it's fuzzy, my files might be damaged...but I remember ceasing to function.

[k2so]

[True at that. It came in handy on many occasions. Not so much here.]

Blinding white flash?

My files might be damaged, my memories are disjointed and blurry. But I remember the stormtroopers.

[Kay looks down, stares at his chest as if he's surprised to see it intact instead of filled with holes. One of his hands moves up until his finger brush against his chest panel.]

I remember ceasing to function. It was unpleasant.

[bodhi_rook]

I think there was an... explosion.

[But his memory of those last moments was now muddy and confused as well.]

Ceasing to function? So we... didn't succeed?

[That small hope was being crushed and the fear and disappointment was slipping back into his expression.]

[k2so]

Oh. Those are bad.

I don't know. Cassian and Jyn Erso got the Death Star plans but they had to get out of the vault by the time I...[He doesn't finish that, it's better to not think about it.]

The Shield Gate had been closed by then, did any of you manage to open it to send the plans? [Kay's face is not as expressive but he's not feeling much different.]

[bodhi_rook]

I got a message through to the Rebellion for them to destroy it so we could transmit but... I don't remember what happened after that.

[wizard_redfive]

No what?

[firefandance]

No what exactly? I mean there are a lot of things one can say no to, but without anything afterwards how exactly should one respond.
