[Pidge's eyes keep following every little movement of his fingers, tracing over the length of each wire in turn and going back to its point of origin. She has a million questions - what is this for, what is that for, why does that go there, is something missing here - that she's simultaneously answering just by continuing to watch. And then there's a voice all of a sudden, like narration over the show she's watching, and she can really only nod in response and hum around her forgotten mouthful of peanut butter sandwich.

Which she only remembers to swallow when she attempts to give voice to one of her questions.]


It looks like it would have wheels. Wouldn't it be more convenient to use some hover tech instead? [Rover is the droid she has in mind as she continues to watch Hux work, mentally searching for ways to make Rover's tech compatible with Hux's MSE-6.]

This particular droid is meant for ground work. We do have droids that hover and can do work that way. I suppose if one wanted to, it can be converted to hover. Droids can always be readjusted and improved when necessary. Perhaps, the next one built can hover, but I wish for this one to remain on the ground.

[Hux answered in a quiet tone while he continued to work. He was grateful that Pidge was asking questions and accepting what was being said and not challenging everything. It helped ease the tension a little.]
pidge_out: (that's odd...)

[She hums again in response, a thoughtful sound muffled into her sandwich as she takes another bite out of it. That makes sense. Vacuuming would probably be harder on a hover unit than a ground one, so she can respect that choice.]

Do you have kinds that can convert themselves as needed, or are they kept separated by function?

Well, we have many types of droids. Each one with different functions. It would take some time and research to see what can be made here. It would also depend on what type of functions you want that droid to do.

I merely started with the mouse droid because it was something I had practiced on when I was a child. I also felt it was one of the less complex ones to practice.
