Gadgets and Gizmos a Plenty

WHO: R2-D2 & C-3PO
WHERE: The Junk Pile
WHEN: Uh. Now?
WHAT: While pretending to be a Jawa, Artoo comes across an interesting find during his scavenging.
WARNINGS: N/A


     Between the deserts of Tatooine and the vast stretches of rock and space here, Artoo had to prefer the latter, if only because there was no constant source of sand getting into his circuitry. He never complained about that as much as Threepio, but no droid liked feeling gritty, especially if it impeded their functions.

     Yet as much as this was a planet intended for robots, oddly enough, it wasn't practical scale for droids such as themselves. It took forever just to get between temples, but staying around the Hub had proved most convenient for beings of their size. Still, Artoo thought that alternative modes of transportation wouldn't hurt. After all, he couldn't expect to be toted around by Cybertronians all the time, now could he?

     Such is why he'd dragged Threepio along to the Junk Pile to scavenge parts, not that he felt the protocol droid would be much help in that department, but he thought it would be a good idea to keep an eye on him considering that one day the droid had shown up with an odd new insignia tattooed on him. And Threepio always said that he was the one that got into trouble!

Had the memory wipe never happened, he would be on the same page as the R2 unit. But it would make no difference if everything was explained to him on the spot. While Threepio's reaction would be priceless, it wouldn't help at all.

A metal hand tapped the smaller droid atop his domed head. "All the more reason to take it with us. If he was ever to come here, I am certain he would be grateful that we kept it safe." Even if Artoo was the one who found it initially on his own, of course.
