[Video] Well this is awkward.

[ Oh hey look, it's Drift. And it appears he's finally given up the gun on the whole trying to pretend he's not a giant awkward robot. He sucks at this whole secret thing. So have a giant robot. ]

So hi there. Uhm. Right. So I'm Drift. And I've got just a few questions.

First is that uh. I'm becoming abundantly aware that I'll probably need to find a better way to fit in here for obvious reasons. I do have something called a "Holoform" which allows me to project a solid holomatter representation of a human. But I'm really. Not a human. So there's that.

I guess what I'm asking is for some help in how humans or organics are really supposed to act.

Second, I'm looking for work. It doesn't actually have to be paid work, but anything I can do to help. My skills lie in.

Uh. Lifting heavy objects, chopping things and... well I'm pretty decent in a fight. So you know. Sparring or training self defense? Anything anyone can think of that they need help with. Please don't hesitate to ask.

[ He's a little desperate to make himself useful. ]

So user Drift ith a machine, but a machine with free will, emotionth, thought processeth, and user ith not a slave. Thith ith all correct?

[The Helmsman is working hard to keep the envy out of his voice.]

Do the helmsman on user Drift'th shipth have the same privilegeth?

Tho doeth the Empire.

[As the power source for the Empire's prize ship, he's seen more than he cares to admit of how the Empire wages war.]

Permission to be blunt?

User Drift'th rathe giveth autonomy to all beingth, including helmsmen of shipth. Thith ith a flaw, especially during battleth. Thothe with free will can flee, or disobey orderth, which leadth to hesitation and life lost.

[More contemplative silence, and when the Helmsman speaks again, it sounds like his words are sticking in his throat.]

If... if user Drift'th ship Lost Light appearth... can system be user Drift'th helmsman?
