My mother is a pillar of the community. The droid does his best.

[defenderoftomorrow]

Oh, that's great to know. People need to look after each other. Are you all a close knit then?

Even if in some cases, helping each other is bringing you bacon to bed.

[festianbargain]

where are you going with this? Do you want some bacon, too?

[defenderoftomorrow]

No, but thank for the offering.

Ey you texted me, I figured you wanted to talk while you wait for the food.

[festianbargain]

I guess I didn't expect to be talking this much about my mother. It's too early for therapy.

[defenderoftomorrow]

My bad. we can talk about something else.

We don't actually have droids in my world. Do all the ones in your world have personality?

[festianbargain]

It's not just one world.

[ He should have asked for some kaff, too. ]

Most droids have some personality, but all machines do if you let it run long enough. Your toaster would have its own quirks after a decade or two.

[ He loves B2EM0 like something between a dog and a little brother but will never, ever admit it. ]

[defenderoftomorrow]

Oh, amazing.

Interesting theory. One that my partner and I are putting to the test, actually. During one of the past trials, we were gifted a golem. The ones in Folkmore can only be active if a Star Children is near them, but we modified Blitzcrank's interior so he can be autonomous.

We're trying to teach him things so he can act on his own, but it's a slow thing.

[ Aw, Cassian, You're a softie on the very, very, very inside. ]

[festianbargain]

[ You can't let people see your soft spots that's where they stick the knife. ]

I'm not really sure how golems work. But ours has an repurposed language processing unit so we can talk to it in basic. That seems to help with the autonomy. Though maybe it just appears like that, because we can talk to him and not have to deal with binary.

[defenderoftomorrow]

[ Cassian, maybe you need to meet better people with no stabbing tendencies. They do exist. ]

The ones here wake up and wait for instructions if you go near them. They just want to help, but they don't seem to be able to think on their own. I find them a little sad, and so does Viktor. That's why we wanted to give ours a  chance at becoming his own person.

I've never heard of those languages before. Is binary a robotic language? I should try to see if teaching Blitzcrank new idioms could help him, thanks for the idea. 

[festianbargain]

Basic is what almost all humans and most of the other species speak. Some of them, their mouths aren't shaped right and they can't. Or they just don't want to. Binary is just for droids but only because it's all beeps and whistles that are pretty much impossible for an organic mouth to replicate. You can learn to understand it, though.

Is it a power saving measure? Is that why they spend so much time in stasis?

[defenderoftomorrow]

Got it. In my homeworld, we also have a language that is fairly known across all lands, and then some specific ones for each species. Velarian is what would be considered our 'basic'. Perhaps some sort of binary-to-basic translator device could be invented. Like how the relic here works? It could save people and droids a lot of trouble.

I'm not sure, really. Some of these Golems are very old, they even have moss growing on them. I figure it must have been Thirteen or some other locals who created them, but there's not a lot of information about Golem. And getting any answers out of the fox is tricky at best.

[festianbargain]

There is a translator. It's always installed in protocol and security droids. Sometimes you can rig others with it, depending on the shape of the chassis. The galaxy is a big place, I'm not sure there's a relic big enough that could reach all the way from the Core to the Outer Rim.

If it was tech of some kind I could probably give you an estimate of what era it was from. Some of the more recent ones are easier to pinpoint the year and place of manufacture. But that sounds like some kind of Temple stuff. I don't know anything about that.

[defenderoftomorrow]

Very useful.  Protocol droids? Do you have droids for that? Gods, that sounds fantastic. I have to do a lot of PR for Hextech but it's exhausting, if only a droid could do that for me, it would be a dream.

[ Jayce is polite and likes to talk to people, but sometimes it gets to the point where he just wants to go back to his laboratory or forge and bury himself in fun work. ]

Ah, it's all right, don't worry too much about it. Temple stuff, as in, religion...?

[festianbargain]

Yeah if you have to talk to a Twi'lek who only speaks Huttese while trying to broker a deal with some Jawa and trying to figure out what the Anzellans are saying the estimate of repairs is going to be, there's not that many people who just know enough of all of those languages to make it work.

Yeah, I think it's some kind of religion. I don't know, they wear robes and don't do much as far as I can tell. But a lot of their stuff is old.

[ He is the worst source for anything on the topic of Jedi. ]
