ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE BRAINS ARE ON THE DROIDS? WHERE THE BRAINS GO? WHO HAS ACCESS TO THEM?
OR ANYONE JUST WANT TO BUY A DROID?

Asking because you plan on taking them out or for some other reason?
"Brain" is slightly generous. They run on fairly rudimentary clockwork mechanisms, with code engraved on metal plates.
If you're asking because you want to take one apart, I've already done that.

Lucky for both of us, if we can fill in particular knowledge gaps.
Are you suggesting a collaboration?

What is your background, if you don't mind my asking?
I'm unfamiliar with the term.
[He's steampunk please explain]
Theoretical physics, but more recently mechanical engineering. Specifically, technological applications of the arcane.

It may be more helpful for you to tell me the kinds of things you do.
[rip he has no idea what any of this means]
No--this was my work back home. Recreating it here under a different magic system has been a challenge.

( she did.... sobs )
I HACK THE SOFTWARE PART OF TECHNOLOGY. THE THINGS INSIDE THAT TELL IT HOW TO WORK. ALTHOUGH, USUALLY MORE TECHED THAN THESE DROIDS.
NO ARCANE IN WHAT I DO. OR IN MY WORLD. THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR ME. ANOTHER POINT YOU COULD HELP ME ON.

Software meaning the instructions carried out by the automaton, versus the physical infrastructure on which the instructions are written. I understand.
[He's still wrapping his head around it, even if he is still unsure of what 'hack' means, in this context.]
Magic and technology have more in common--or, rather, work in more similar ways--than one might expect. There's a certain synergy in it.

Something about you was altered, when you arrived here?
You have some kind of technological implant?
[yeah maybe he. he wants to get a look at that.]
