Sylbia mournfully looked at Hk-32 for several minutes before finally deciding who to reply "I know you can't control what you are. It's the pain of being a droid you get only the facade of free choice." she swallowed and slowly set the small droid on her bed as she continued to speak. "I'm not perfect Hk perhaps that is the curse of being organic, but I.." Sylbia stopped as she removed the lenses off her eyes. "I appreciate the attempted cheer up Hk, but I'm too far down the pit of self loathing to be to easy to cheer. Ki could you please get me a glass of water." she asked stroking the small droid before it scurried along the ship's hull.

HK-32 shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Let me tell you a story.." HK shuffeled around abit before getting comfortable.
"Many years ago a scientist created a droid to be his body gaurd.. he slaved away relentlessly for weeks to perfect his creation which in essance was his child... this droid was loyal to his master to the last.. for years he spent gaurding the front door reporting in every so often on the activity... but one night he became convinced this one droid was conspiring with his enemies.. so he lunged at him with a metallic writing utensil... the odds were not in his favour.. he punctured one of the droids accuators.. electrocuting him and terminating his life instantly..." HK-32 nodded to sylbia for a moment "Explanation: The morale of the story is.. if you keep falling in this pit of self loathing, you will have no one and you will be all alone." HK-32 trying to comfort her in his own unique manner.

"That was a wonderful story Hk." Sylbia said trying her best to keep the sarcasm from her voice and the light smile on her lips. "I'm afraid there are not many beings who would wish to be around a one off freak like myself."
"Beep woop!" Ki excitedly said as he dropped next to her and lifted a water pouch up to her.
Sylbia smiled as she took the pouch from ki saying "I know you'll stay here ki." she took a long drink of the cold water before looking back at Hk "I'm a little amazed your still here, no bounty, no mission..if I may ask why are you still here and why were you after that bounty hunter."

"Sarcasm: ihad hoped to become a childrens novalist" HK chuckled to himself. He spent the next 10 odd seconds going over his protocols and data entry. "Confusion: There is a bounty on your head but i...i..i..i.. i cannot terminateyour life.. i have files which i cannot access that seem to be over riding my primary objective.." HK-32 puzzled by this conumdrum leaned against the near by wall.
"The bounty hunter that was conveniantly off gaurd had wronged the hutts in some way..the reason why and how he wronged them is none of my concern..but yet i have a convultion..a desire..a need if you will to stay near you and protect you..this is most puzzling indeed!" HK-32 trying desperatley to analyze his primary directive and cross referance it with his current situation.

"Hidden files welcome to the corporate world." Sylbia chuckled a little at that. "If you promise not to shoot me when we're done I'd be willing to help you find out at the very least where those protocols came from." Sylbia smiled "Besides I must admit It's got my interest peaked there are not that many people who even know of my existence." sylbia took another sip of water "So what do you say Hk?"

"I promise not to shoot you....mainly because i can't..." HK-32 tried to give off a convincing chuckle. he stood back up straight and walked towards Sylbia.
"Adenndum: I am at your mercy it seems..we shall work together to achieve both objectives." HK-32 held out his "hand" in a gesture of good tatse.

Sylbia Reached out and grasped Hk's hand as she smiled. "Well, we're agreed then." she said before a thought crept into her head. "Um, any idea were we start?"

HK-32 processed the information for a short moment before speaking. "Explanation: You would not be a Republic design, they would not try such an experiment.. sentient right laws... if you were of sith desgin you would be more robust and violent... so the odds are that you are a creation of the hutts or the corporate sector."
HK-32 processed yet more data through his chip before coming up with a plan. "Suggestion: It would be wise to talk to the local hutt leader on tatooine... he should have some knowledge or beable to point us in the right direction and my previous help for them so help our cause." HK-32 nodded for a moment.

Sylbia could almost feel her body temperature spike at the mere word Tatooine. "Tatooine, does it really have to be tatooine? couldn't we to nal hutta or nar shaddar anything else?" Sylbia asked somewhat pleadingly before pulling herself up. "No, no that's silly too far. I'm sorry I can be a bit selfish." she amended slowly. "I suppose we should get going, Ki would you mind going though the start sequence for me?" she asked barely waiting for ki to chirp his agreement before turning her voice back to HK "I suppose while we wait I should tell you somethings about myself."

HK-32 tilted his head slightly "to Tatooine..i spent over 100 human years on tatooine." HK nodded slightly before looking to Ki as he started to chirp away and scurry off to ready the ship.
"Please continue... i always relish the chance to further my data banks."

Sylbia nodded and took a small drink of water before returning her gaze to Hk-32. "Well, as you suspect I'm a product of a now defunct corporation's experiments. This company was named Avagenic and was specialized supposedly in genetic augmentation based medication. The team that designed me was only tasked with making a Proof-of-concept organism that's why more attempts weren't made to fix some of my more problematic morphology such as my lack of sweat glands and " she gestured to her eyes "my naturally bad eyesight." Sylbia leaned back before continuing. "Obviously between that and the fact I am ultimately only thirteen total years would seem to indicate that someone at Avagenic must have found a way to give you these protocols."

HK-32 listened intently and stayed silent as Sylbia explained the situation "Ah.." he proclaimed "that would explain why i have killed you..or more precisely my inability to...perhaps it would be wise to feign your death... then when everything is complete3d and my protocols reset.. i won't kill you." HK-32 in a confident manner.
HK-32 looked to Sylbia for a moment "Do you have any body armour or any clothing to hide yourself in? also, you will need a powerful rifle to fit in for when we get to the hutts..they will be able to see through your disguise if you walk in with puny pistols."

Sylbia looked at the droid before pulling out the small holdout pistol strapped to her shoulder. "This here happens to be the only ranged lethal weapon I have." She said slowly "But I have some clothes piled in one of the containers." the Cyborg slid the lens she had removed earlier back under her eye lids before moving back to the rear of the freighter and dragging out a pile of rough tattered clothing. "Oh" she said as a old czerka out land rifle fell out of the pile. "I thought I sold you."
"Beep, boop beep whoop" Ki was looking back at them standing on top of the head rest of the copilot seat.
"Ok, ki. It looks like we're ready to go HK" Sylbia said as he climbed towards the pilot's seat.

HK-32 processed the information as Slybia scavengedthrough her belongings until she found the clothes and rifle, he nodded "That should do it" He stated before turning and heading to the cockpit.
HK looked around the cockpit before looking out the main window "If you wish to succeed in this, you will have to act confident yet competant." He nodded

Sylbia nodded to HK-32 as she spoke "All tough like, got it." she said attempting to smile at him. "I think I may just let you do all the talking. Better sit down and buckle up I'm not exactly the best pilot am I Ki." she said jokingly as Ki wrapped himself around the third seat in the cockpit. "Here we go." she said slowly and more then a little jerkily lifting off the ground.
