h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*turns to SW*

No, never needed one, got a NavCom.

*turns back to Ring*

The first 'Council's Will' was a converted freighter used by the Jedi that first took me to the Academy. The other was a converted Starfighter I gifted to one of my students before I got the Interceptor. But it couldn't be Pa'ber's ship, so it's either the original or someone else is using the name.

Can we get hold of any information from Republic listening posts to see what we're looking for?

RING: We could try hacking the HoloNet but that doesn't enough time to--

SW-888: ++THE HOLOPAD IS EMITTING AN ENCRYPTION THAT REQUIRES AN ASTROMECH TO UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY. HOWEVER, IT IS A VERY DISTINCTIVE REGISTRATION CODE DESIGNED FOR ACCESS BY ONE PARTICULAR DROID.++

*shrugs*

Any way we can find out what the designation of this Droid is?

RING: *shrugs* Protocol droid?

So we need to get a protocol droid to find the astromech droid to decipher this?

*turns to SW 888*

Can't you do it?

SW-888: ++STRANGELY, BEING AN ASSASSIN DROID DOES NOT REQUIRE AN EXCESS OF HOW TO BE POLITE AND MY LANGUAGES ARE LIMITED++

*grins*

Really? Thought you'd have a few witty lines in different languages.

*turns back to Ring*

Got anything in this heap that can help us, or do we have to acquire a protocol droid?

RING: Nope. This one's all yours. *grins*

*goes to check on their bounty as SW-888 moves into co-pilot's chair*

*shrugs and grabs the holodisc*

Cheers for the help anyway.

See you around.

*climbs out of the hatch back onto the streets of Tatooine*
