Do they taste good at least?

I'm testing methods of incapacitation.

[ she's going to tase it and see what happens ]

[clavesregni]

They do. But I prefer my tea and scones at tea time. This one badgers me no matter what time it is, wherever I go or whatever I'm doing, as though it's afraid I'll die if I stop drinking tea or eating scones for even a moment.

Do you think that will be necessary? They seem harmless enough.

[vdovy]

Your droid sounds extremely British.

Sure, these ones do. But I'm told there's an infantry of them at the tower with the beacon and I doubt they'll be this harmless when we're breaking in.

[clavesregni]

British? [Caitlyn is the most British person to ever come from a world where Britain doesn't exist]

I suppose that does call for proactive measures, then. What sorts of methods do you suppose will work?

[vdovy]

British like from Britain? The land of tea and scones?

I think overloading the circuitry should do the trick.

[clavesregni]

I've never heard of it. Is that a place in your world?

Were you planning to test anything else? Bullets, for instance.

[vdovy]

It is. Where I'm from, it's the place where tea time and scones are huge in the culture.

I would if I wasn't conserving bullets. Tasers can be recharged but bullets are one and done.

[clavesregni]

A taser would allow you to, as you said 'overload the circuitry'? [She's never heard of tasers either.] Even if your tests are successful, how is someone who hasn't got a taser meant to combat the droid infantry?

[vdovy]

Yes. It releases a high voltage electrical payload that should fry the circuits.

I suppose that is where the bullets come in. But until I know the ammo situation up top, I would prefer to conserve mine.

[clavesregni]

Very well. Do let me know the outcome of your experiments. And if your taser doesn't work, enjoy the tea and scones.
