Video: BB-8 says hi

[flightforfreedom]

[ Hello network. When the video first comes on, all that's really visible is the ceiling, and the audio is a soft, gentle snore. A second later, however, a spherical white and orange droid rolls into view, looming over the camera. He beeps a hello in Binary, though the meaning translates well enough regardless, and then proceeds to type using a tiny extendable arm onto Poe's communicator. ]

Network query: How best to make idiot human happy?

Additional optional query: How many have idiot humans?

Additional request: How best to delete network messages and/or bribe communication devices to not show them.

Thank you.

He sounds like he's feeling down about something.
Did something happen recently?

[flightforfreedom]

Most recently he was involved in the Shimmer anomaly.

While he has physically recovered, I believe he has not fully mentally recovered.

[ Ah. ]

People get back on their feet on their own time. Sometimes some take a little longer, that's all.
He should try to eat something filling, though. Food can improve your mood in wondrous ways.

[flightforfreedom]

I expect he will recover eventually. But I will endeavour to make him as happy as possible in the meantime.

Is there a particular food you would recommend?

[girlybruiser]

Does he at least have friends coming to check on him?
Chicken soup would be the first because it has all the protein, calories and vitamins a person can use.
Then I would suggest having tea, adding garlic or ginger to food, and bananas for nutrients and calories as well.

[flightforfreedom]

Yes. Poe has many friends, even though he loses many. They check on him.

But I would like to ensure his recovery, too. I am searching chicken soup recipes now. He likes bananas. He says they are pre-wrapped for convenience.

[girlybruiser]

That's good he has friends, although I'm sorry he has lost friends, too.
You can always try adding a bit of garlic to the chicken soup as well!

[flightforfreedom]

I believe it is the fate of any imPort who remains on Earth for any length of time. The average stay for an imPort is not conduisive to long term friendships.

Garlic. It has been noted.

[ Of course, BB-8 has no sense of taste, so 'a bit' might be a very large variable... ]

[girlybruiser]

But aren't there some imPorts who have been here for years?
