Re: M64

HK examined the bandaged finger. "Gratitude: Thank you, meatbag." ...He couldn't make it a complete positive statement, after all.

"Explanation: Binary can be vocalized by droids by use of specific tones, most commonly compared to whistles." He still had his vocal mimic functions, didn't he? Maybe this would work. "Statement: I will attempt to replicate it, although human vocal chords are not suited for the language." He blinked a few times before opening his mouth and releasing several trilling whistles and whines, in near-perfect replication of the noises most often heard form Astromechs. "[Statement: For your information, meatbag, this is droidspeak. Your puny cognitive processors are ill equipped to comprehend it.]" He coughed slightly upon finishing the statement- it had made his vocal cords itch, somehow. "Discontented: That was much more difficult to vocalize than it should have been."

HK took the pad. "Statement: It looks similar to an LB-1 loading droid." A fifth-degree intelligence. But he wasn't going to mention that aloud. "Some meatbag cultures I have encountered construct equivalents to this."
