Summary: C-3PO gets his memory wiped.
Disclaimer: George Lucas owns Star Wars.
Captain Antilles took the droids into his workshop. Bail Organa had ordered the protocol droid's memory to be wiped. And it seemed the droid was not too happy about it.
"Artoo! Please don't let them wipe my memory. Oh dear, this is not good at all!"
Artoo whistled in response.
"Captain Antilles, I assure you. I am much more useful to you with my memory in tact. Even Artoo here agrees with me."
The Captain chuckled. He had never seen a droid so resistant before.
"Sorry, Threepio. I have orders."
"Oh my - This is all your fault, Artoo. In fact, I'm glad I won't remember you!"
Threepio preceded to kick the small R2 unit which warranted an annoyed series of beeps.
Captain Antilles led the golden droid over to his workbench.
"I'm going to shut you down now, Threepio. I'll wipe your memory and then assuming all goes to plan, you'll be back on in no time."
"Oh yes, very well. Goodbye Artoo. I hope you will remember me."
Artoo beeped and Captain Antilles shut the droid down.
Taking only a few moments, he removed the memory device from the droid and wiped it.
Placing it back in, he looked at the smaller R2 unit.
"It's gone now, Artoo. I have some good news for you though! Bail has given approval for you to retain your memory. But you must never tell Threepio here. Understood?"
The hurried beeps confirmed it.
"Okay then, here we go!" He turned the droid on.
His eyes lit up as he stood.
"Hello, I am C-3PO – Human Cyborg Relations."
Artoo whistled.
"Well, hello there Artoo Detoo. Nice to meet you."
The Captain smiled at his success and left the two droids to get to know each other all over again.
