The cables holding the droid, her arm draped around BB-8 from the bottom, yet not really to help hoist it up, but mainly just for comfort since having it just jammed to her shoulder would be awkward looking. Regardless, the teen was completely artificial in every sense, so once BB-8 would be allowed access to her records? He would learn all kinds of terrible things she’s done and had done to her upon creation.
And that time would soon come as Ered made her way through shifting cybernetic halls, her domain a secret as she would hide herself away in there. Most of her existence shrouded in mystery, being no more than little but a rumor to everyone other than the few chosen to be trained by her. Yet not even they were allowed access to this part of the facility, even if they were under Ered’s supervision- as if she listened half the time to protocol anyway.
Yet, finally arriving into her near pitch-black quarters that would light up slightly, a circle surrounded by glowing wires that parted in all directions were integrated into the ground could be seen in the middle of the room. That was all there was at the moment as she soundlessly strode over to the center, sitting down cross-legged with BB-8 in her lap. Wasting no time, wires would find themselves plugging not only into BB-8, but Ered as well as she began uploading her records, files, along with nessecary battle tactics into the droid.

It was an odd feeling, as Ered had no remorse usually in using others for her own personal gain. Yet when it came to beings similar to herself, that they were designed to be used by others? There was a sense of learned empathy, one that she did not feel, but understood at its very basic level. As those she used? They were a means to an end, expecting the same treatment from them as well if they the nature of her.
So upon recognizing the emotion? For a moment, she let the robot go about its routine, the optic eye glowing as it followed the movement. Though once it settled? Ered had actually knelt down on one knee as it had rested against her, placing a hand once again upon the droid. Keeping her helmet on as it felt more relatable, as this helmet was basically a second skull, eye and all. So it was hard to understand at times why people preferred her ‘normal eyes’. Either set showed just as much emotion as the last if they knew her.
It was clear she was content as thick cables deployed and wrapped around the droid’s spherical body, the robot being kept close to her side as she would stand and begin walking. They had a long day ahead tomorrow, so research and preparation would be needed for the both of them. The young teen knowing full-well that its answer had been made and he chose her.

Nodding lightly, Campbell knew better it seemed than to cross her or even attempt to push his bounds with the teen, her connection with her fathers and the government not helping with his hesitance. Though, the droid had a certain charm to it, yet it had its own artificial intelligence it seemed, being far greater than what she expected. Oddly, it was something she could relate to in a way, being an artificial being as well, yet a latex hand would lay on the top of the astromech, staring as that helmet would form from the base of her neck.
That cyclops eye lighting up on the black glass of the visor, a pure grayish-blue hue was staring down as a robotic tone spoke out, “𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚒𝚝? 𝚆𝚎’𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙸.

👀 Oh, this could be funny.
Rey was getting ready to sleep for the first time in the resistance’s new base, and she was looking forward to it. They spent probably 36 hours working on getting these catacombs into something like living conditions, and she was now completely exhausted.
Moments after she peeled off all but her underclothes, she heard a quiet hum. She spun around and grabbed the closest thing she could find - a ratty pillow - and held it over herself. “Who’s there?!” She snapped, “Wait… BB-8?”
She leaned over to see the droid peaking at her from behind the busted ejection seat she’d commandeered as a chair, “Did Finn or Poe send you to peak? Be honest.”

Poe flinched at the poke, instinctively swiping it away - “Hey!” he grunted, eyes narrowing with a brow arched. Had he been busted? Was… she drunk? He honestly had no idea, but either outcome leads to him pulling the bed sheets up to cover his groin. “What’re you doing in my room, oh Jedi master?” He chuckled. BB-8 hadn’t come back, which could only mean bad. Perhaps Poe would be able to dance around the issue? Teeth sink into his lower lip, and he leans up.
“Want an autograph? Or looking to snuggle?” the pilot joked, brushing a hand through his messy hair. “We should, uh, get you back to your room, in all seriousness. You look rather tired, Rey.”
“Who’s a master?” She asked in confusion, looking around, “Oh, well. I’m here because…” She tilted her head - why had she decided to come to his room again? “Um… Because… You’re a weirdo?” She nodded, pleased with her choice of words, “BB-8 said you’d sent him to… Check… On me. And now I can’t sleep.” She flopped backwards onto his bed, ignoring his struggle to keep himself wrapped in sheets, “So you can’t either.” She added with a giggle.
The pilot can only stare. His instinct is to flash a smile, inch forward with raised brows as silky suave words leave his lips - whether to flirt or to simply tease, he cared little. However, Poe’s mind races as the woman’s actions trouble him. Is she alright?
“Me? A weirdo?” He points to himself, cocking his head with an innocent tint in his eyes. Not what he’d call himself, truth be told. That stubby little droid of his must have ratted him out, the clever little thing. “Don’t know what you’re talking about,” Poe waves dismissively. And yet, all jokes aside, he lets out a quiet sigh, followed promptly by a chuckle.
The man grabs at her waist, lifting her against his chest with a grunt, as to then plop her beside him. “You’re... not drunk, are you?” he asks, half jokingly and half with genuine concern. Regardless, he throws the covers over her. She seems tired. Perhaps he can help her sleep. “Uh, I don’t actually think we’ve formally met.”
With a soft smile, Poe extends a hand, offering a shake. “Name’s Poe Dameron, sure you know that already. I’ve heard tons of stuff about you already, Rey,” his smile grows into a grin. “Sorry for how this turned out. I, uh, promise that it’s not what it looks like.”
I'm finally back. I'm so so sorry for any threads that I had going. I've been busy with other blogs, and just generally feeling shitty.
Any replies will be made shortly. Thank you for being patient.
He’s once again pushed back with a grunt, however, this time he’s been expecting it - and he had held his weight, the impact not pushing him far. BB-8 would have grit his teeth had he had any, glistening optic staring directly into her glaring red one. What he hadn’t expected was her to pin the probe against them, and the metallic bodies grinding against it cancelled most of the electricity’s power, instead only allowing a small buzz of current to tingle throughout their circuits.
What he also hadn’t expected was that he found it pleasing. He moaned, and as soon as he realised what he had done, BB-8 pulls away and rolls back away from her, the probe returning into its respective socket.
“D-Don’t do that!” he huffed, and if droids could blush, he’d be a hot flustered mess.

She warbled menacingly, spinning her smooth round body quickly to slam into his again. She was fast and seemed to have little care for damaging herself in the process of subduing him, she knew it was her duty to dominate any member of the resistance, including any droid member.
She electrified one of the grills on her round body and easily rolled herself so that it crackled closer and closer to him, threateningly. He may have been built more utility based, but inside she knew she was a weapon.
BB-8 let out a metallic yelp as he was once again pushed back, slamming into a wall. He looked for options, searched for ideas, anything, anything for him to one-up her, but it was essentially useless. He's backed against a corner, and she's a later model; she's better than him.
He feels the shocks flood his circuits. His optic stares at her, and BB-8 combats by releasing one of his suction cups. It attached firmly to her body, and the droid rears back with a grunt. BB-8 begins to spin, body swiverling in place as he swings BB-9E with him, gaining momentum until they're twirling at fast speeds. The suction cup is suddenly detached, and the female astromech is sent flying into a wall.
BB-8 stabilises himself, red electricity still sparking throughout his body. "When... are we gonna... stop?"
👀 Oh, this could be funny.
Rey was getting ready to sleep for the first time in the resistance’s new base, and she was looking forward to it. They spent probably 36 hours working on getting these catacombs into something like living conditions, and she was now completely exhausted.
Moments after she peeled off all but her underclothes, she heard a quiet hum. She spun around and grabbed the closest thing she could find - a ratty pillow - and held it over herself. “Who’s there?!” She snapped, “Wait… BB-8?”
She leaned over to see the droid peaking at her from behind the busted ejection seat she’d commandeered as a chair, “Did Finn or Poe send you to peak? Be honest.”

Yikes. Following an order is in an astromech’s programming, and Rey, oh Rey, was he ever so attached to her. It’s funny - how bumpy their meeting was, how she’d wanted to get rid of him, and yet here they are. They’ve come a long way. BB-8 doesn’t want to disobey… but he needs to alert Poe. A thousand thoughts run through his databanks and he struggles to do anything, except stand in place with a series of worried beeps muttering from his voice box.
HIS ROOM IS FOUR DOORS DOWN AND TO THE LEFT! he blurts with a loud boop, and immediately silences himself. The droid stares blankly, and regrets every decision. Oh no.
It isn’t like Poe’s doing much. Laying in bed was all he needed to relax. Massages and spas and all that junk were fine, but taking a break was just his prescription after a long day. He sits there, boxers on, dirty shirt thrown to the floor with brown eyes staring at the closed door. He could’ve sworn he heard BB-8′s muffled beeps.
She strode with amazing lightness down the hall, tilting her head when she heard BB-8 tell her were Poe was. “Thanks, buddy.” She smiled, then carefully counted doors. It was harder than she expected it, considering how long she’d been without sleep.
Once sure she was at the right spot she tapped on the door with her staff, the silliest grin on her face. She still wasn’t sure what she was going to do here. At first she’d had ideas of confronting him, but if BB-8 and Finn liked him so much he surely couldn’t be all that bad, right?
“Hey budd-” The voice rang out as he opened the door, looking down towards her legs. He fell silent as he realized he was looking at bare human feet and not a droid. “Wh-” His eyes rose higher until they finally made it to her face. “You’re not BB-8.” He deadpanned with a deer-in-headlights expression on his face.
“And you!” She replied, poking him in the belly with her staff, giggling at his lack of pants, “Are not sleeping.”
Poe flinched at the poke, instinctively swiping it away - "Hey!" he grunted, eyes narrowing with a brow arched. Had he been busted? Was... she drunk? He honestly had no idea, but either outcome leads to him pulling the bed sheets up to cover his groin. "What're you doing in my room, oh Jedi master?" He chuckled. BB-8 hadn't come back, which could only mean bad. Perhaps Poe would be able to dance around the issue? Teeth sink into his lower lip, and he leans up.
"Want an autograph? Or looking to snuggle?" the pilot joked, brushing a hand through his messy hair. "We should, uh, get you back to your room, in all seriousness. You look rather tired, Rey."
His dome-like head spun around, vision briefly blurring before sorting itself out with a shake, his body bumped back before stopping in a wobble. “Just… do it! Just be nice!” he yelled, promptly smacking into her again, this time with more force. An apartment in the droid’s circular body opened, revealing his electroshock probe, and soon began to zap at her.
BB9E was not one to be threatened, in fact those who did often found her to be more menacing than the threat. So without a word of warning she hurled her spherical body at the other droid, slamming into the electroshock probe quite on purpose and pinning it between both of their frames, causing the current from it to flood over both of their metal exteriors. He systems were mostly insulated from the shock, but she wouldn’t say it felt good.
She also wouldn’t say it felt bad either.
He's once again pushed back with a grunt, however, this time he's been expecting it - and he had held his weight, the impact not pushing him far. BB-8 would have grit his teeth had he had any, glistening optic staring directly into her glaring red one. What he hadn't expected was her to pin the probe against them, and the metallic bodies grinding against it cancelled most of the electricity's power, instead only allowing a small buzz of current to tingle throughout their circuits.
What he also hadn't expected was that he found it pleasing. He moaned, and as soon as he realised what he had done, BB-8 pulls away and rolls back away from her, the probe returning into its respective socket.
"D-Don't do that!" he huffed, and if droids could blush, he'd be a hot flustered mess.

BB-8 cocked his head, and if his optic was built with metallic eyelids, he would have blinked in confusion. Um- he beeps, although he’s unsure of what to say. Has he just helped Poe or worsened his situation? The droid stares, and looks to the side out of habit - no Artoo to help him get out of this one, though.
He was… worried you weren’t sleeping-! The astromech inches closer, his bweeps low and seemingly reluctant. Perhaps you could… hug him? Was she playing with him? Or being honest? This could work in Poe’s favor, but the droid still wasn’t sure. BB-8 wobbled in place. I’ll… stay here and keep intruders out! How ironic.
“That sounds like a great idea.” Her eyes sparkled with intensity - or, more accurately, the intensity of how badly she actually needed sleep. She giggled again, wondering if this was what being drunk felt like.
“Yeah. You keep an eye on my room. Don’t want people stealing my junk.” She patted the droid on the head, then picked up her staff before waltzing out of the room. “Now… If I were a naughty pilot, where would I be not-sleeping?” She mumbled to herself as she walked down the hall, suddenly realizing she had no idea where his room was.

It… was a pretty average day for Matt. He had spent a good, long day in his beloved NEMO chair, a chair that let him literally enter the virtual world– and now it was time to head back and retire for the night in his room.
For most people, this would mean sleep– yet… For this young gang leader, it meant sitting on his computer for another six hours.
He… Didn’t exactly have the greatest of schedules.
Walking down the halls of the mostly abandoned central cooling tower, Matt sighed to himself and pulled out his phone, turning the little LED flashlight on. The blue mood lighting they tended to use was great and all, but Christ, when no one else was around it was creepy.
Lighting his path better sure made Matt feel better– that is, until a loud, digital noise was let out.
Shaking his head, Matt could only assume it was one of his gang members playing a prank on him.
“If you guys are trying to scare me, it’s not working.” the sixteen-year-old huffed as he spun on his heels.
A look of surprise formed on his face, however, as he scanned the hallways and saw no figure. Nor did he hear the muffled laughter of his immature subordinates.
Walking back down the hall, he stuck his head down a different hallway that branched out from the one he was traveling in– only to find a small, spherical droid.
“What the…” Blinking, Matt wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at for a moment.
That… Certainly wasn’t something he or his Deckers had made…
“Oh my god you are so cute!” He purred, staying where he was as he hoped he didn’t scare the poor thing off.
“What on earth– where did you come from?”

Another odd situation, as Ered usually was ordered to shoot Cameron on sight, yet the man always seemed to have something in mind or a plan that was beneficial to her and the others in question, giving her reason to ignore them in favor of receiving new parts or in this case, a top of the line droid it seemed. Of course there was a catch, there always was with this one as he would hand over a list of targets to her, saying that droid was just the beginning if she captured certain ones, the rest could be terminated at her leisure.
A grappling cable deploying from her wrist, far more advanced than any known machinery on this planet. “𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗, 𝙱𝙱-𝟾,” the girl would merely issue as a command, her helmet forming with that mane of hair being tucked under as a singular blue-grayish eye peered down, lit in a cold-scanning view. The ‘master’ was an artificial life-form, being a machine at her very core, though far more advanced in design than any human or scrap bucket. That cable extending and locating a port to insert itself into, the metal forming and changing as it’d reshape itself to connect to BB-8.
If successful and met with cooperation? The girl would deploy her own nanobots into the machine, scanning it from the inside out for any treachery that man might have in store for her. Then once finished? She would form a chip to take place and implant itself to add onto its programming, as her own way to give mental commands for when they were in the field.
