The Shistavanen smiled, which was perhaps a bit scarier than intended. "Glad you bumped into me Doc. I'd better get back to it, these birds need to be space-worthy by the afternoon." He pointed a thumb back at the line of Spitfires and wondered if anyone else had pumped oil into their coolent system today.

"See you around. I'll try to stay out of the medbay though, no offense." Again, a mouthful of teeth that was probably a smile.

"Most organics only have a single processor that cannot go into heuristic mode for high speed data transfer. Veeone has many parallel processors that work in conjunction with the primary processor to enable maximal performance on the battlefield. Veeone's creators neglected to realise that they could be applied outside of battle conditions."

It's head swivelled from side to side again with a whirr of servos.

"You know... parents. The beings who engender or raise young sentients in many societies." Tethys's small smile becomes a little more noticeable. "Sorry, Veeone. It was just a metaphor. Organic parents don't always know exactly what they're creating either."

There was some intense whirring of servos as the droid considered this.

"Your creators put together a lot of parts they thought they understood, and got something they didn't expect." Tethys gives the droid a sympathetic look. "No doubt they thought they knew what they were doing, but if that were entirely true, you wouldn't be here."

"They thought they were creating a device that would aid terrorist acts. Veeone has not committed any acts of terrorism."

There were several soft beeps.

Tethys nods along to this logical sequence, twirling a delicate miniature hydrospanner between her fingers.

"Congratulations, Veeone. You're a problem child." Her lips quirk again. "That's not a bad thing."

"Veeone is neither a problem nor a child . . . . . . . . . . . . . . or is that another metaphor . . . ?"

How an expressionless construct of metal, ceramic and plasteel could look questioning is anyone's guess, but Veeone managed it.

"You've got it," the Jedi confirms with a musical chuckle. "A a 'problem child' is just a child who makes things difficult for his parents. But your creators don't sound as if they deserved an easy time. One man's problem is another man's good fortune, at times."

"... I see." Well, that takes some of the humor out of the situation.

"If they lived, they might have learned a valuable lesson. Or they might just have learned to disable their system's ethical subroutines more thoroughly, I suppose," she muses. "There's no knowing now."

"Oh. Hmm." Tethys puts down her tool--she hasn't really been focused on her project for a while now in any case--and frowns at her workbench. "You must have reported this when you joined up... I assume? There are Republic laws about producing droids without the proper ethical programming. Or selling them in Republic space."

Of course, she knows perfectly well that such laws can be subverted by siting factories on unaligned worlds and selling on the black market. But any company doing so could be subject to some kind of economic sanction on its Republic-space subsidiaries... if it was caught, at least.

"Veeone was assembled on Tatooine. Outside of Republic Law and Order. It took Veeone sixty nine days and thirteen hours to secure transport to Republic space and enlist in the glorious Army of the Republic."

It saluted as if by instinct.

"I don't think you have to salute me. I'm not a Republic officer," Tethys points out gently. "Well, Veeone, if you let the the military know all those things you've told me about your creators, I suspect you've done them a service most recruits would need a few more years to equal."

She tightens another fastening inside her partially-deconstructed lightsaber. "I need to finish this, so I should let you charge up in peace. But I would like to hear more about your adventures some time. Those must have been an eventful sixty-nine days and thirteen hours."

The droid nodded.

"Tatooine is a desert planet. Sand is not the best environmental condition for Veeone's systems. Extensive maintenance was required after those sixty nine days and thirteen hours."

"I suppose it would have been, indeed." Tethys raises an eyebrow and nods. "I've never been to Tattooine. Deserts... are not my favorite places. But that doesn't extend to hearing about one."

((Fade to charging/tinkering, unless Veeone has something else he wants to talk about? After the change to D4 seems like a good time to wrap a D1 thread before I start getting all confused about timelines...)))
