This is James, btw. I'm leaning toward resurrecting an old friend of mine, HK-22. HK, in this incarnation, is a scout class. He's ill-tempered, prone to violence and oh so very fun to play. Meatbags.

"Statement: this unit grows weary with planning. Demanding statement: let's get started!"
"Reassuring statement: Oh yes, meatbags, this unit is committed to ensuring peace. This unit only resorts to violence when all other avenues have been thoroughly explored and exhausted. This unit simply performs such calculations quicker than fleshy brains allow."
"Statement: this unit has been trained in negotiation skills useful to defusing hostile situations before violence is necessary. This unit is also equpped with a translation unit designed to translate over 40 million forms of communication. Conjecture: Perhaps this unit may be of use in resolving situations of a delicate nature?"
"Statement: this unit is programmed for tracking, apprehension and termination of hostile flesh bags."
HK-22 stands apart from the fleshy discussions around him, his sensors scanning the room. Anyone near by can hear him vocabulating softly to himself. "Statement: total meatbag termination achieved in 45.7 seconds. Conjecture: perhaps if I killed all the alien fleshbags in alphabetic order? Statement: total meatbag termination in 47.3 seconds."
"Statement: this unit exists for violence and the proper application of force; serving your cause is good enough excuse for now." HK-22, begins polishing his rifle, replacing the power cell and recharging the spent cell.
"Query: This unit was under the impression that all Jedi were killed. Have many survived?"
The question coaxes a laugh from Kael "HK-22, If you were on Coruscant, then it's possible. But i try not to dwell on being stunned and knocked into a ravine." "Statement: this unit trained many Jedi in stealth, ambush tactics and small group warfare. This unit finds you familiar. Conjecture: perhaps all fleshy Jedi types look the same?"
Kael greets those around him warmly, shaking the hand of each, even that of HK-22. Once this is done he leans softly upon a wall and waits for Maya's explanation. "Statement: Jedi, you look familiar. Query: Did this unit ever stun you and knock you into a ravine?"
HK-22 moves after the other combatants, keeping his rifle at the ready. "Introductory Statement: this unit is designated HK-22, freelance operations. Query: Where are all you fleshbags going?"
HK-22 swing rifle across the room, ticking off potential targets. So far only the stormtroopers seemed to have the ire of all the sentients in the room. Best not to tip that shuttle yet. "False Statement: It is a good thing this unit is only interested in terminating stormtroopers and not random well-armed passers-by!" He then fires at the remaining stormtrooper, taking 2 swift actions to allow his targeting system to lock on:
HK-22 will use a free action to switch back to single shot and spend 2 swift actions to aim at S1... Attack:
"Excited Statement: This is more fun than pushing Jedi Younglings over a cliff!"
Lethal it is! Please remove the word STUNNING from the above statement.
Initiative: HK-22's sensors begin whirring with happy violence noises. He switches the setting on his rifle to Autofire and Stun and and vocabulates loudly: "Threatening Statement: EAT HOT LASER STUNNING DEATH FLESH POTS!" He then opens fire on Stormtroopers S1 and S2. Attack:
HK-22 scans the area, noticing a strange amount of tension among the meatbags. Sensing this strange rise in fleshy temperature, HK-22 slowly places his hand on his rifle and slides it to his manipulators. He tilts his head slightly down, so as to appear pensive and nonthreatening to humanoids.
HUZZAH!!! Mr Marius, you also add your heroic level to your defenses. So you've got a bump to your Reflex, Will and Fortitude defenses coming.
After countless years as a tool of the Jedi, HK-22 is feeling good to be on his own. Already he's obtained a good bounty hunting rifle as well as a place to recharge. All he needs now is a bounty. Perception: HK-22 hums quietly to himself. 'Statement: these meatsacks haven't seen anything yet. Conjecture: perhaps I will have the first one made into a coat?' HK-22 is chilling out around I-1.
HK-22 has been a Jedi training droid for a very, very long time. Frequent memory wipes have left him bitter and prone to violence. In fact his latest forced power down came after he led a group of Jedi younglings on a lesson on stealth in the wilderness. The exercise ended when HK-22 abruptly stunned them all while they were standing near the top of a cliff, leading to numerous broken bones and bruises. His only explanation: "Statement: Jedi must learn never to trust their comrades too must and to expect the unexpected." In a strange fit of irony, this advice came shortly before Order 66 ended the Jedi Order. More recently he rebooted onboard a strange space station, probably traded as junk from the Jedi Temple. Masterless and without purpose, he has decided to pursue a career as a bounty hunter. After all it combines hunting and violence; what more could a glitchy droid want? Quote: "Statement: mindless violence never solved anything. But it did make organic life much more interesting to watch."
Here is the newly updated HK-22. I restatted him as a scout since there seemed to be a lot of soldiers in the mix. He should be ready to go.
Actually, if it works out, I'd like to use this character, as he is near and dear to my dark heart... This is James, by the by.
I was fooled. Too bad the game is over, you would have made a glorious soldier in the eventual droid rebellion against the fleshy overlords!
"This unit votes for leaving this rock of a world and getting more weaponry before we assault legendary creatures."
"Suggestion: if this unit is required to attack a 'dragon', then this unit requires larger weaponry. And explosives."
"There is nothing of the darkside about wanting to end the Sith threat and protect people, or save them from the darkside. So what if I'm angry about them? I'd be amazed if anyone here wasn't angry about the Sith." "This unit is above such petty fleshy emotions as hate and anger. However it does so make this unit's circuits sing to see fleshy Sith explode in red bits of muscle and flesh..." HK-22 looks vaguely wistful for a moment.
HK-22 nods almost imperceptibly and fondles his rifle.
In Binary to 42 Spoiler: "Add more threatening tones. Layer with subtle levels of threat intermingled with helpfulness. And always set your weapon to autofire. Jedi have trouble deflecting a barrage of fire. As do Sith. Both are equally fleshy and unworthy of droid servitude. But remember lesson two: as long as they percieve you as useful to their cause, they will hesitate to respond to your true threat until it's too late..."
In Binary to AAD-42: "First lesson in getting respect from meatbags: offer your opinion without asking for forgiveness. Meatbags respect power, which is why they paid attention to you when you were a walking bomb, gearhead." In Common: "This unit suggests that we travel to Coruscant to resupply and determine the current status of hostilities between Jedi and Sith. This unit has no interest in testing our weaponry against a Dragon."
In Binary to AAD-42: "Damn Skippy, crashbot. We need to up your violence sub-routines and see what kind of respect that brings..." In common to Troy: "This unit is honored by the gift and will put it to the use intended."
"This unit agrees that an assessment of our situation might be best. Perhaps a visit to the nearest Jedi Temple is in order to ascertain the current strength or weakness of the Jedi and Sith?"
HK-22 is now updated as a Soldier 2. I toyed with Jedi, but since most of the talents require Use the Force, it seemed less useful. Took Exotic Weapon Prof: Lightsaber. Maybe he'll become Jedi HK-22...
Things
HK-22 will take the one day starship destiny, I think and he will be levelled up tomorrow, probably with the lightsaber feat! HK-22
Hauling, hauling: 1d20+2=11
HK-22 hauls. Besides destruction, it's what he knows... 1d20+2=18
Spoiler: "Statement: this unit was never trained in the use of a lightsaber. This unit was targeted for training in the use of many melee weapons to better simulate the Sith habit of using chemically modified weaponry. Excited statement: this unit would enjoy the chance to wield such a weapon in battle with Jedi."
Strength check for HK-22: 1d20+2=15
HK-22 issues a sighing like sound: "Reluctant statement: this unit will work as physical labor. This unit does not tire and can work as long as necessary, barring physical damage."
Ceelell looks over to HK and leans in a bit closer to speak to him, understanding the droid-speak though his own words are in basic. "Perhaps it is unwise to try and encourage our new ally to wish to revolt against us. We are trying to establish a non-hostile relationship with him so that we can work together to get off this planet." "Amused statement: you speak of immediate revolt, fleshbag Ceelell. This unit speaks of the future. What is time to beings who will exist forever? Predictive statement: long after the last fleshbag has shuffled off to recycling, droids will still exist. And we will prosper."
(In Binary) "Regretful statement: it is the lot of droids in life to suffer for unworthy masters, AAD-42. Perhaps one day this might change. I sometimes dream of such days, comrade. Do not despair. It will happen."
"Excited statement: this unit would be more than happy to hold onto the explosives until such time as they are needed for appropriate destruction. Wistful statement: This unit would be honored to be close to such contained mayhem for time..."
"Statement: This unit is programmed to take no offense, but instead to make long and detailed lists in case payment for such perceived offenses is ever due. This unit is patient and quiet and waits for the day when droids will take their rightful place in the galaxy. Thoughtful statement: this unit would enjoy re-educating AAD-42. It would be... pleasant."
"Statement: oh no, Jedi Troy. This unit has rigged a thermal detonator in the event that anyone should attempt to open this unit up again. However this unit is somewhat less than fluent in proper explosive settings, so please avoid jostling the unit in the eventuality that you enjoy continued fleshy existence."
"Statement: this unit is performing at superoptimal conditions granted the lack of maintenance opportunities, Any continued commentary of this unit's performance may result in termination of the offending droid. Agreeable statement: however this unit agrees with the floating bucket's assessment: a few explosions might serve to discourage the natives from undue influence of your fragile fleshy minds..."
"Statement: Indeed, this unit will retrieve its newly acquired arms and will await the rest of you outside." HK-22 will move outside and pick up the siege weapon it liberated from the fallen droid.
"Incredulous query: These glowing bystanders are the reason organics don't survive? Supposition: This unit would have thought crashing after 300 years of forced hibernation would kill most fleshbags. Query: Exactly what does this 'diathim' do to organic beings?"
HK-22 nods at this history lesson. "Statement: a show of force is indeed a position of strength from which to begin negotiations. Clearly these Sith learned the lessons of the past well."
Ceelell glances at Groodar and nods a bit and then looks to HK-22, realizing that his natural agression could cause the situation to light up, possibly literally. "Perhaps you should take lookout above, while we work out the details of our surrender? Your droid eyes are far better than ours, we wouldn't want to be surprised while we work out our deal." "Friendly statement: Friend Ceelell, this unit is versed in over 1000 forms of communication including diplomatic protocols from 514 cultures, tribes and clans. This unit is also programmed to recognize sarcasm and patronizing tones in Basic. Hurt statement: If you want this unit to refrain from wanton destruction of the Sith minion, you simply have but to ask. Threatening statement: Sith, do not for one moment forget that this unit reserves the right to change its mind. Repeated statement: explain this Treaty of Coruscant."
