There is a nine-foot-tall combat droid in Milliways. Right in the middle of the room, crouched in a very awkward and uncomfortable-looking position.

The droid realizes that this is inconvenient, both for others and for him. But he's got a good reason for it.

That reason is that his owner's fourteen-month-old son has fallen asleep propped up against the robot's left shoulder. D0G isn't going anywhere until the kid wakes up from his nap.

Fairy Fixit flies by, and seeing D0g's current immobility, she takes advantage of the situation to do some exploring.

Not much, though. After failing to find anything she can identify as a loud speaker, she takes of her hat and lays on D0g's back on her back so that her antennae touch D0g's metal exoskeleton.

It just the perfect addition to this already odd situation.

She taps out a message.

HI D0G THIS IS FAIRY FIXIT. I AM LYING ON YOUR BACK SO THAT I CAN FEEL LOW VOLUME VIBRATIONS THROUGH YOUR METAL SHELL IN CASE YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITHOUT WAKING THE BABY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR AUDIO RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER LOOK LIKE BUT YOUR SHELL TRANSMITS JUST FINE.

Long winded, even when she communicates in Morse code. Sheesh.

...well, that's new.

D0G is silent for a long moment before, very quietly, beeping out a reply.

D-0-G W-O-U-L-D L-I-K-E T-O T-A-L-K T-O F-A-I-R-Y F-I-X-I-T

"WHAT DOES YOUR AUDIO COME OUT OF ANYHOW" she taps out.

A M-O-N-O-P-H-O-N-I-C S-P-E-A-K-E-R O-N D-0-G-S C-H-E-S-T, D0G beeps back.

"I SEE." Actually, she hears. Staring up at the rafters isn't that informative at the moment.

"YOU ARE GUARDING THAT HUMAN CHILD CORRECT?" she taps.

Y-E-S, replies D0G. T-H-A-T H-U-M-A-N C-H-I-L-D I-S E-L-I F-R-E-E-M-A-N

"HOW OLD IS ELI?" is her next query.

1 Y-E-A-R 2 M-O-N-T-H-S 2-3 D-A-Y-S 2 H-O-U-R-S 1-1 M-I-N-U-T-E-S

"THAT IS A TEETHING AGE FOR YOUNG HUMANS, I BELIEVE" she taps in response. "I AM SURE THE CHILD'S PARENTS APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE GUARDING IT AS IT SLEEPS."

D-0-G B-E-L-O-N-G-S T-O E-L-I F-R-E-E-M-A-N-'-S M-O-T-H-E-R

"IS SHE ALSO YOUR BUILDER?"

D0G nods a little.

To the fairy it feels like D0G is bucking. Well, not trying to buck her off, but moving unexpectedly.

There may be confused an nonsensical taps from her boots followed by voiced whoas and heys before Fairy Fixit is hovering in front of D0gs optics with a confused look on her face.

Wrrp? D0G cants his 'head' to one side a little. What's the problem?

"I thought you were moving." She takes a quick glance at Eli. "Wait, where you nodding in response to my question?"

Another nod.

"I see." She ponders getting back on top of D0G briefly, but...

"Do you have any queries for me or any requests I can fill for you, seeing as you are stuck where you are?"

D0G thinks for a long moment, then shakes his head.

"All right then, I'll talk to you later."

She flies off to check herself for bruises.
