[Video - Arrival]

[generalgrievous]

[A skull-like being appears on the network - but no, it's not a human skull and it isn't the creature's actual head. Instead it is some sort of mask, through which yellow eyes glare angrily. These are the only part that looks to be truly alive, however. Much of the rest of his body is hidden by a cloak wrapped around his shoulders, but what other parts that can be seen are robotic, yet skeletal - including a claw-like hand currently clutched into a fist. Some may be able to tell he's some sort of alien cyborg. His metallic voice is harsh.]

Where are these so-called City Guardians and your military operations?

Your explanations are not satisfactory. It was a mistake to bring me here and I demand that you return me to my ship at once.

I think you were one of his child heroes.

We tried to leave but so far isn't possible because nothing can break the barriers. Can't go under them either. As for as who kidnapped us here, no one know. Some people just show up in the shore every now and then.

[generalgrievous]

We had a good talk.

[There's a briefly thoughtful pause before he goes on.]

What kind of droid are you?

[Video]

[k2so]

Did you?

[That's relieving. Kinda.]

I'm a KX series security droid. We are enforcers.

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

Enforcers? At the very least you seem to be more intelligent than a battle droid.

[That's a compliment.]

[k2so]

[It is, really?]

I'm a much more advanced and independent movel. My specialty is strategic analysis but I'm not half bad with a blaster either.

When I am allowed to have one, that's it.

[generalgrievous]

[He thinks it is, if a very small compliment.]

Then maybe you can be of use to me as much as Cassian Andor will be.

[He's recruiting you both.]

Why would you not be allowed a blaster if you are to... enforce?

[k2so]

[Hm...well, works for Kay. He doesn't not like the idea of being 'useful' for Grievous.]

Useful in what regard?

[Good luck with that, Kay has a great pokerface too.]

I ask myself that often.

[generalgrievous]

Then we should get you a weapon.

[He's arrived with four lightsabers and one blaster on him but he isn't giving those away.]

Andor is gathering information for me. You could assist me with strategy. I also seem to have an opening for a new bodyguard or two.

[Despite his own skills and imposing appearance, he likes his back-up droids.]

[k2so]

Oh, that would be great.

[And definitely wins Grievous points on Kay's book.]

I'm already tasked with guardian Cassian and I have another job but...we could arrange something.

[generalgrievous]

I will see what level the threats here are and we can make an arrangement for your services when required.

[He's open to negotiations.]

[k2so]

Sounds good to me. Usually the cities aren't too dangerous, nothing like what we are used to. Everglade has a peculiar population an there are issues with human and non-human species but individuals like you and I have it easier there.

[generalgrievous]

How much experience have you had with fighting?

[Here or back in their galaxy.]

[k2so]

I'm designed for combat, it's what I did all my life.

[And it's something he enjoys, reprogrammed droid or not.]

[generalgrievous]

Good to hear.

I've lead thousands of droids into battle. Are there more of you here?

[k2so]

I like to keep my skills sharp too.

During the Clone Wars, if I am not mistaken? No, so far it's only me.

[For the better too because other KX series would be loyal to the Empire.]

[generalgrievous]

Then we will have to find a facility to make more of you.

[He needs a new droid army.]

[k2so]

Right, I'm sure it will be that easy. Do you know anything about how design and built a droid?

[That's going to be tricky to accomplish.]

[generalgrievous]

I will find somebody who can.

[Confidence.]

[k2so]

Al right. Let me know once you do that.
