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.

[ BB-8 knows that voice. It doesn't even have to look at the username to know who this is. It makes a low worried note, and then, in binary out-loud, says: ]

None of the information I have hereto supplied is information that Poe would consider confidential.

[photophobic]

No?

[ Kylo knows binary– of course he does. He is, after all, Han Solo's son. But it isn't quite a welcome reminder.
His voice is low, even and steady. ]

Then why ask how to erase the evidence of what you have done.

[ BB-8 lets out a worried trill. He shouldn't be having this conversation, but... ]

I believe he would be embarrassed, which is not my intention.

[ And then, with a worried note of defiance, he added: ]

Attempting to use any of this information against him will not cause any severe detrimental effects.

Dameron feels shame for anything outside of his control. He prefers to think of himself as failed rather than powerless.
But you haven't exposed your master to danger. I have no need or desire to cause him further suffering.

[ BB-8 lets out a low 'oooo' noise, as if trying to make sense of that, its head tilting.

Then: ]

You don't?

[photophobic]

Dameron's enemy is the First Order. Mine is the Resistance.

[ A pause. Well. Mostly. He continues: ]

Neither exist here. Everything I have done– all of it– was for a purpose that doesn't exist here. Destroying him here would gain me nothing.
It would be as meaningless as tearing you apart for that map.

[ BB-8's head swivelled, looking off-camera to Poe, still snoring gently on the couch. It looked back at the camera. ]

I am not sure I am able to ascribe meaning to all of your past actions - at least not a meaning that I would be able to understand.

But you are right. Neither the First Order or the Resistance exist here.

I am not sure if Poe would consider that a good thing or a bad one.

[photophobic]

I don't expect any of you to understand my reasons.

[ His voice swells with seething, surging bitterness. But he crushes it down in the next breath, where it becomes a low, simmering resentment. Misery. ]

He doesn't know. A galaxy without need for a Resistance or a Rebellion is what they have always fought for, but they have no purpose beyond that fight. Without it, they crumble. There is nothing beneath.
