Yup, this sure is a city. Some of the art and architecture is interesting, but Deskyl keeps her focus.

The suite has lots of space, including a bathroom, a hastily repurposed second bedroom with gym mats over the carpet and wooden practice swords in several shapes, and a third room that's done up as an office. There are two beds, perhaps as a just-in-case if the robot likes to lie down.

She examines it and nods approvingly.

    "What should we do for meals?"

Permalink

"We can have you brought room service, if you eat the same sorts of things Amentans do."

Permalink

"She seems to, yes. I don't eat."

Permalink

"Do you need people working on power conversion for you?"

Permalink

"Deskyl would rather handle that herself; she'll need tools and supplies. But it's not urgent."

Permalink

"All right. There's a couple of guest computers in the desk, do you need an introduction to those? Are there tools and supplies I should have brought now?"

Permalink

"I don't have much technical vocabulary yet; I wouldn't know how to explain what she wanted. A dictionary would help, or some textbooks."

Permalink

"I can show you how to find those on the computers." She does.

DZ is a quick study, but it's pretty obvious she's never used this style of computer before.

(As soon as they're out of the room, Deskyl near-literally collapses on the bed.)

Permalink

When DZ has been instructed in all the computer things she wants to know Mosha shows her how to send her a message if she needs anything else, and how to order room service, and says that some blues will probably want to swing by and talk spaceships and robots whenever it's convenient for them.

Permalink

It's getting pretty late; it should be okay for the blues to come by tomorrow, though.

Permalink

Of course!

And Mosha excuses herself.

DZ orders dinner, and looks up how castes work, and wakes Deskyl to eat. She's pretty exhausted, so the droid doesn't bother with anything unnecessary, just lets her know that there are visitors planned for tomorrow and sends her back to bed before returning to the computer.

Permalink

Dinner is brought by a friendly purple who is very professional about being so, so excited that aliens and robots exist.

The computer has a very thorough dictionary and will bring up results on anything DZ searches for.

Permalink

She reads through the dictionary, and then gets started on learning as much about Amentans as she knows about humans. When the hotel's kitchen is ready to serve breakfast, she takes a break to order something, and then wakes Deskyl to get her showered and dressed before it shows up.

Deskyl doesn't want to get up, and fusses until she comes awake enough to notice that she can't feel anyone nearby: that wakes her up all at once. Where are we? What happened?

    An alien planet. It's okay, we're safe.

 

I don't remember.

    Yeah, you pushed yourself really hard yesterday. They were going to take you again, do you remember that?

No.

    And you panicked, and suddenly we were here. The aliens want spaceships and robots.

You're mine.

    Yeah. They've been polite to me so far.

Good, they'd better be.

    They want to talk to you about spaceships and robots, today. You told them you'd help with the spaceships.

...why?

    It's a little complicated. We met someone who helped us, yesterday, and she needs money to keep her baby safe, and this is a way for us to get some.

 

Okay, that makes sense. You're taking care of it?

    Yeah.

Okay. Anything else?

    Nothing important. You need to get ready for breakfast now, it's being delivered.

Okay.

Friendly purple comes in with breakfast!

Permalink

Friendly droid takes it!

Permalink

Friendly purple backs out of the room, grinning ear to ear! He's so happy! Planets!

Permalink

Gosh that's kind of creepy.

Do they know I'm a Sith?

    Not really. You've shown them a few things, but they don't know about the Force at all.

Okay.

Breakfast.

Permalink

The purple comes back to take the dishes away and turn over the contents of the bathroom for them.

Permalink

This is still creepy and she's suspicious of it. She very carefully opens up her emotion sense, just a sliver: anything there to be suspicious of?

Permalink

The rooms adjacent to this one in all directions have been cleared out except for one diagonally across from her in the hall, where some people are waiting eagerly to talk to her about spaceships and robots.
