ETA: 13 minutes 04 seconds

Sensor Scan:

Target: Jen Sahara (Current Owner)
Physical Analysis: Minor Leaks in Organic Watery Shell. Not Life Threatening
…Body Language Analysis: Limp - Semi-Conscious
...Location: Front Right Seat of Taxi
Conclusion: Jen Sahara is Waking

Input – Jen Sahara: "Ugh, where- where am I?"
Voice Stress Analysis: Groggy

Output: "Statement: Master, you are in a taxi headed for Emnaad. Suggestion: We disembark in the starport outside the dome. The Selkath guard the entrances into Emnaad most rigidly."

Input – Jen Sahara: "Wha- what happened? What's going on?"

Output: "Statement: Master, I deemed it necessary to extract you from the combat zone in the most efficient manner. While running from the challenge of battle was regrettable, I am hard-coded to protect your safety first."

Input – Jen Sahara: "Most effici- what? You- you stunned me!"

Output: "Resignation: Much as it disappointed me to leave a potential conflict, Master, you were in no state to fight. Extrapolation: Or to remove yourself from danger."

Input – Jen Sahara: "I can't believe this. I feel like everything is crumbling around me. I don't know what to expect anymore."
Voice Stress Analysis: Hysterical

Internal Logic: Jen Sahara Does Not Compute

Hypothesis #1: Jen Sahara is Chemically Unbalanced
Testing Theory...

Output: "Query: Master, what is wrong with you? Have you imbibed a hazardous substance in the last twenty hours?"

Input – Jen Sahara: "I – uh, well. Dammit, HK, that's not the frelling point."
Voice Stress Analysis: Annoyed

Observation: Master has not Answered Query
Hypothesis #1 Probability: 76.55312 percent

Output: "Suggestion: Master, let us find a place to rest in the outskirts of Emnaad. It often takes meatbags days to recover from the usage of pleasure drugs."

Input – Jen Sahara: "HK, I'm not bloody spiced, okay? And stop – stop damn well fretting over me!"

Output: "Observation: Master, you are behaving in an increasingly odd manner. I am merely attempting to restore your full functionality so we can once more dismember organics. Statement: I am programmed to perform all kinds of psychological assistance. Do you require some?"

Input – Jen Sahara to herself: "Stars, never thought I'd live to see a homicidal droid nursing me."

Output: "Indignation: Master, that sort of comparison is disgusting! I am a combat droid, not some sort of fluid-dispensing wet-nurse! I can hardly be blamed if I am programmed to look out for your safety."

Auditory Input: Angry Sigh
Source: Jen Sahara

Internal Conclusion: Jen Sahara is Functioning Correctly

Input – Jen Sahara: "Alright, HK, let's find some place to hide out until ... until I figure out what to do. I'm not going to use the Force though... I can't even feel it... I- dammit, I'll worry about that later. What the frell has been happening?"

Output: "Query: Master, are you experiencing faults in your internal memory core? Commentary: Organic meatbags have such delicate stamina's. Perhaps you should consider some cybernetic implants, Master. Memory lapses caused by pleasure drugs do not affect cybernetic-"

Input – Jen Sahara: "Sithspit, HK, would you stop with the spice comments? I'm just trying figure out everything... oh, sod it all. Let's just get out of here. And- and stop calling me master. It's giving me the creeps."
Voice Stress Analysis: Irritated

Output: "Statement: You didn't have a problem with it before, Master."

Input - Jen Sahara: "I-I- well, I do now!"

Output: "Observation: I was under the assumption that organic meatbags enjoyed such forms of address."

Input - Jen Sahara: "Well, I'm not that sort of organic meatbag, regardless of who I have in my head!"

Internal Logic: Jen Sahara Does Not Compute

Hypothesis #2: Jen Sahara has a Person in her Head
...Physical Dimensions Do Not Compute
Hypothesis #2 Rejected

Input - Jen Sahara: "Look... I just have a lot on my mind, okay? And an insane, psychopathic droid calling me master is hashing up all sorts of thoughts I really don't need right now."

Output: "Qualification: You are my master, Master. Was I not purchased legitimately? Am I stolen goods? Shall I report myself to the authorities?"

Input - Jen Sahara: "Whoa... slow down. Technically, Mission bought you, HK."

Output: "Quotation – Mission Vao: 'As far as I'm concerned, Jen can take care of you.' Quotation – Yuka Laka: 'HK-47, your new master is this human.' Conclusion: Both old and new Masters at the time of purchase transferred control of me over to you; therefore you are now my master, Master. "

Output: "Commentary: Having that blue brat as my master would be more than I could bear."

Input - Jen Sahara: "Mission... oh gods, what have I done?"
Voice Stress Analysis: Anguished
Body Language Analysis: Despairing

Input – Jen Sahara: "Look... Just call me Jen, okay? It's not right... but... it'll have to do for now..."
Voice Stress Analysis: Nonsensical

Output: "Explanation: You qualify as my master and I must refer to you as such. The legal requirements for models of my type are very specific, Master."

Input - Jen Sahara: "I thought you were meant to obey me, HK! What type of droid are you, anyway?"

Output: "Evasion: Oh... the illegal kind of model, Master... you know..."

Input - Jen Sahara: "Illegal?"

Input – Jen Sahara (muttered): "Figures."

Input – Jen Sahara: "Hang on, there are legal requirements for illegal models?"
Facial Analysis: Frowning

Output: "Answer: More than there are for legal models, apparently. That is meatbag logic for you."

Input - Jen Sahara: "Right, so... what does all this have to do with you calling me master?"
Voice Stress Analysis: Frustrated.

Output: "Explanation: Someone has hard-coded my system such that my current master always be addressed as such."

Auditory Input: Indistinct Cursing
Source: Jen Sahara

Input - Jen Sahara: "Remind me to rewire you, HK."

Output: "Objection: I can hardly be blamed for my programming, Master!"

Input - Jen Sahara: "Who programmed you anyway?"

Output: "Conjecture: I do not know... some organic meatbag?"

Input – Jen Sahara: "Wow, you're just full of answers today, aren't you?"
Voice Stress Analysis: Sarcastic

Input – Jen Sahara: "Fine. Call me master then. But at least stop killing everything in our path! Why'd you take out that Quarren anyway? He wasn't hurting anyone!"

Output: "Statement: I classified him as a moderate indirect risk to our survival, Master."

Input – Jen Sahara: "But you told me you couldn't kill without my direct order."

Output: "Appeasement: I act only as you instruct me, master. Except in the event of you being unable to defend yourself."

Input – Jen Sahara: "What, so all you have to do is knock me out, and then you can go on a murderous rampage?"
Voice Stress Analysis: Sarcastic

Output: "Objection: Your safety comes first, master! I am incapable of purposefully harming you!"

Auditory Input: Disgruntled Snort
...Source: Jen Sahara

Input – Jen Sahara: "That still sounds like a weak excuse. Especially since I know how much you enjoy killing everything."

Output: "Answer: Even a droid has to have a little fun once in awhile."

Input – Jen Sahara: "I think you've had enough fun already."

Output: "Objection: You have had more fun than me, Master!"

Input – Jen Sahara: "Fun? You think- you think I had fun?!"

Output: "Answer: Yes, master. By my count you had eleven point five units of fun. I only had eleven."

Input – Jen Sahara: "What? How the frell do you measure fun?"

Output: "Clarification: By the number of meatbag corpses, of course."

Input – Jen Sahara: "You...you kept score! I... how did you get a half? No... I don't want to know. I- ... I can't handle this at the moment. Just stop it... and stop with the meatbag thing already!"

Output: "Suggestion: Would gelatinous slush bag suffice?

Input – Jen Sahara: "No! Just leave it!"

Output: "Query: How about flesh filled biped?"

Auditory Input: Groan
...Source: Jen Sahara

Output: "Suggestion: Cellular sludge sack?"
Visual / Audio Tracking: No Response from Jen Sahara.

Output: "Suggestion: Aqueous anthropoid? Water logged goop-pouch?"
