Entry One


ENTRY » START NEW

GALACTIC DATE » 35:3:3 GrS
GALACTIC POSITION » CR90 Corvette Tantive IV; Tatoo System, Tatooine's orbit
SITUATION » Under attack by the Empire


»» Been ordered to report to Princess - a.k.a. She-Who-Must-Not-Know-Of-Her-True-Origins - and now having a hard time pinpointing her in the middle of ongoing battle. If only she would just stay in one place or consent to being tagged with a locator device - yes that would be best, then I would be more efficient in watching over her.

»» Managed to miss being hit by 9.4 blasterbolts while crossing a hallway in search for Princess and being followed by C-3PO - Maybe one of the bolts should hit him and make him shut up already. If he says we're doomed one more time...

»» Ooh, looky. It's Ani. He looks taller. I wonder if he'll recognize me. Hmm, best not find out.

»» Found Princess - MISSION STATUS - COMPLETED » DO LITTLE HAPPY DANCE.

»» Been entrusted with secret Death Star plans. » ENTER NEW MISSION PARAMETERS » TOP SECRET - MAXIMUM PRIORITY - deliver plans to General Kenobi A.S.A.P. How fortunate that we're orbiting his base's planet.

»» Advise Princess to stay away from Lord Vader a.k.a. He-Who-Must-Never-Be-Named-As-Anakin Skywalker-To-His-Children. Don't think she understood me. NOTE TO SELF » Get voice synthesizer.

»» Must locate working escape pod. Consider ditching C-3PO - No, I can't do it - he's a drag, but he's my drag.

»» Escape Pod located - TASK STATUS - COMPLETED.

»» Get in here you mindless philosopher! And shut up already.

»» Successfully detached pod from Tantive IV - Hey, I'm good! Gee, I hope they don't use us as target practice.

»» NEXT DESTINY » Tatooine./>

OT from Artoo's POV? OH YEAH!!!!

I love Artoo's AKAs, Notes to Self, and thoughts on Threepio. I can't wait for the next entry!

EDIT: If you're doing PMs, can I be on the list?

This is going to be great! This is just what I needed right now.

Brilliant!

Brillant start I see Artoos memory banks were never erased. More soon

Funny Artoo. with his comments on Darth and the Princess

A nice start

LOLZ

Laughed too much!

Your R2 is so funny!

If you are doing a PM list add me to it!

Artoo's voice is hilarious! The notes to self and running commentary on Darth Vader, Leia, and 3PO especially!!

I'd also adore PMs for updates

Oh R2! This diary is going to make me laugh.

Smart droid!

>> Must locate working escape pod. Consider ditching C-3PO. No, I can't do it - he's a drag, but he's my drag.

No truer words have been tweetled by a droid.

Wonderful start! PM list if you are doing one, please?

Excellent start! I will definitely have to follow this diary.

No, I can't do it - he's a drag, but he's my drag.

That was fantastic! I think Threepio and Artoo are the most succesfull couple in Star Wars Universe... Can't wait to see more! Do you have a PM list?

Thanks Book-Geek, JediMara, taramidala, JediFalcon, earlybird, Misty, Jade, Briannakin, Tarsier and Mondra!

R2! WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!


Lol! Snuggle with C3PO! I sense a hate/love/hate (mostly hate, but some love) bromance going on here!

and - Fun update! Droid snuggling -

Sorta like the cyber/tech version of guy bonding

»» Found sand in navigational systems - I hate sand! It gets everywhere.



So much like your former master, Artoo.

Oh, droid snuggling. Those crazy kids.

Can't wait until he meets Luke!

»» I AM NOT LOST! I AM NOT LOST! I. AM. NOT. LOST !!! - Rechecking coordinates for General Kenobi's home base - I'm lost.

ROFL!!!!! Poor, poor Artoo!

Um R2 you were the one to dump 3PO not the other way around.

R2 hates sand just like his former master/friend.

I love this. That's Artoo and PM please

- Threepio, I've found you. Don't ever leave me again.

»» Snuggle with C-3PO and prepare to shut down to conserve energy - It has been a long long day!

Hahahahahaha! This. Was. So. Cute!
I think that's exactly the way Artoo's circuts work - great job! Can't wait to see more of it!

Oh man, this is funny! To see ANH through the photoreceptors and strings of programming of Artoo is gonna be a riot. Yes, add me to the PM list!

I'm never over in the Saga era...so I forgot all about this story until I saw the link in your sig. Can you please ad me to the PM list. Thanks.

I love Artoo's thoughts. He likes Threepio...he just won't admit it.

Count me in for PM notifications, too, please! Artoo is a real hoot. I love his snarky comments!

I wonder that his reactions will be to Luke

can't wait for more
