[The camera opens to Sharon awkwardly looking into it, clearly not 100% certain it's on for the first second. The alien tech is taking some getting used to, but after a moment the confusion seems to clear up and she nods, clears her throat, and smiles.]

Right, now that this thing is working.

First, introductions for people I haven't met yet. My name is Lieutenant Sharon Agathon, and I crashlanded here a few weeks ago. I've been trying to repair my ship, and I'd like to request some help with it.

Basically, it's too far out for me to get to quickly, and after my first encounter with one of those bone...things...I'd rather not risk staying out there to fix it overnight. Which, of course, makes it really hard to get much done.

If anyone would be willing to help me haul it nearer to Poseidon, I'd be in your debt.

Thank you for your time.

[And then she cuts the feed.]

Artoo makes some adjustments. The communicator translates Binary into a common tongue as much as possible as he beeps and whistles at you.

"R2-D2\ STATUS
Availability = True
Compliance = Eager"

"R2-D2. The little droid counterpart to C-3PO?"

She remembers that much at least. Threepio had made an impression, and the astromech had been right there with him.

"Good, I'd be happy to have your help. Particularly once I get the ship back to a safer location."

"C-3PO = counterpart + friend
AND
C-3P0 = fussy + melodramatic airhead

That draws a laugh from Sharon, because hey, this little guy has a sense of humor.

"Well if he's helping then I think you should get your audio sensors ready for a little whining. It's a few kilometers away in rough terrain. Though, frankly I'm not sure what good he'd be at hauling."

Sorry for delay, been busy that past few days.

Threepio can be heard from off screen.

"Artoo dee too! What are you doing with my communicator?"

The screen suddenly jerks away from Artoo before Threepio's golden face appears on screen.

"Oh, hello again, miss Sharon! A pleasure to see you again."

Perfectly okay!

She can't help but smile, seeing the odd droid again.

"Hello there, C-3PO. It's good to see you again as well. I trust you found your master?"

Re: Perfectly okay!

[cursemymetalbody]

"Indeed we have! And it is good to see you again, Miss Sharon. I do hope Artoo wasn't bothering you via the communicator."

"Of course not," she grins, "He just volunteered you both to help me with a project of mine."
