Hoth: Blood and Ice

Sylvain listened in as the robot seemed to be responding to Moyr more attentively than him.

"Classified," the droid responded.

"Are you programmed to relay the data you collect on yellow parallels here to your programmer or controller?"

"Are you programmed to relay the data you collect on yellow parallels here to your programmer or controller?"

“It is verdant radial to do so. Yellow parallels are potential black intersectors,” the droid responded.

Shyyyo and Nightingale walked up alongside Moyr and listened to the conversation...

"You understand any of this?" He asks to the both of them.

"Colours indicate levels of approval, geometrics - classes of objects in relationship to a reference point. The combination can describe both people and behaviour. While the first category is pretty straightforward, for the second I still don't know the reference point, but most of the meanings can be roughly inferred." Moyr explained her take on this, then she turned to the robot again.

"We don't want to black-intersect, but to green-move centripetally to be within the circumference. How shall we proceed?"

The droid responded, “It is verdant radial for yellow parallels to green circular all red perpendicular grey parallels. Then green secant will be green bilateral.”

It verbalized, “Gold intersectors will verdant perpendicular if green bilateral then it will be black vertical.”

Garth had gotten lost already. He'd been running around the base, looking for his friends....and ran into the distinct opposite.

"Sorry folks. Geez we all picked a right death trap t' land in amirite?"

"Greetings yellow parallel," the droid verbalized to Garth.

"Greetings silver rhombus. Good t' see somethin' round here still has power." Garth replies, completely oblivious to any correllation between the weird form address.

The droid verbalized, "This unit is not equipped for silver rhombus but if that is your pink secant this unit has many gray parallels for that black circular."

"Hey now, no one black circulars MAH pink secant 'cept mah wife." Garth retorts pointing a finger accusingly at the droid.

The droid responded, "Yellow parallel is showing blue intersection, this unit fears red perpendicular."

Harth just shakes his head in frustration.

"An' peep' say ah talk odd." He mumbles to himself before composing himself and trying something he'd heard Jenkins ask once.
"Can...you...run...self...diagnostic...for...internal...ststem...damage?"

"Complete, this unit is green bilateral," the droid replied.

Garth felt a killer headache coming on that paralleled the worst G forces he'd ever experienced.

"Yellow parallel requests expanded definition of his classification.?" The pilot asks tentatively even as he glances between the others present.

“We need to get someone in here to reprogram the damn thing…” Shyyyo said in a frustrated tone.

“It’s the only thing we can place here before we all arrived…”

"Yellow parallel is yellow parallel, perhaps back intersector? Currently classified as yellow parallel," the droid responded.

Garth turns to Shyyyo with a crooked smile. "Well, 'pparently ah'm Baron yellow parallel. Pleasure." He introduces himself before taking one last shot at the droid.

"List parameters for classification parallel."

The droid wanders off unless stopped.

"Frakkk." Garth groans. "Just as well ah guess, one more stupid answer an' ah were gonna reprogram it with a blaster bolt."

“Indeed…” Shyyyo says with notable disgust coming through his modulated voice.

“We need to keep tabs on it nonetheless… It seems to have some information on the beacons that brought us here.”

"It prob'ly don' go too far wi'out legs?" Garth suggested without malice but a healthy dose of practicality.

"I have a sense this droid is here to report on us. His categories indicate a reference to something he is safeguarding." Moyr wasn't too happy with the unit's departure, preferring to have it at an arm's length.

“I think you’re right… Keep an eye on that one. See if we can’t make sure nothing… unexpected happens.” He replied to Moyr.

He then turned to the equally difficult to understand Republic pilot.

“I am Shyyyo. This is Darth Bellious. What is the condition of the Republic vessel now?”
