L stared at the hull of the oncoming ship, his ocular sensors unmoving and void of any emotion. On the screen before him, a picture of the ship's captain eying him over as he remained perfectly still. Above the screen, the ship seemed to loom over his in space through the cockpit window. L didn't like this idea. But he was low on fuel and supplies so he needed the assistance.<br/><br/>"So you're telling me you are alone on that ship?" the man asked. As if for effect, L's neck servos craned his head around to the right, then slowly swung his head to the left, even turning to look behind him. Then slowly his head returned to its default position. Only then did he answer.<br/><br/>"Yes Human. I am alone." he said flatly, "I require fuel and supplies. I have sufficient credits to purchase both."<br/><br/>"But why are you flying that outdated thing? An XS Stock Freighter?" he asked. (m<a class="postlink" href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/XS_stock_light_freighter">http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/XS_stock_light_freighter</a>m)<br/>"I do not ask why you Captain a starship like that. I have my own reasons. Mainly it is mine so I fly it." L said, "May I dock?"<br/><br/>"Fine. But you will be under guard while aboard." he said. The screen went dark and he received codes to dock with. With a quick tap of a few buttons, his hatch was airtight to the Pacifier.<br/><br/>"Arrogant Fleshling." L muttered as he locked his controls. Taking a data pad he donned his robes and opened the hatch, his metal feet clanging over the metal grating.<br/><br/>He met the security guard at the other side of the Pacifier's hatch, a scrawny man in armor and a blaster at his side. Not much to offer. Keeping up his dumb act he walked forward in a straight line and stopped before the guard.<br/><br/>"Lead the way, Human." he said in monotone.<br/><br/>"Do you have any weapons? Please leave them aboard your ship." he ordered. L stared at the man for a long time. He wasn't holding a scanner to check so L simply shook his head and it seemed to be enough for the guard. Leading the way, the guard walked ahead, leaving L to follow as his sensors read all they could.<br/><br/>After a moment, the guard seemed to stop, check his clipboard then L noticed the slight panic in his eyes. He was adept at reading facial expressions and body language of most species and this one was clearly saying 'Oh shit.'<br/><br/>"Is something the matter?" L said flatly. He didn't really care. He just wanted to know why the man seemed to be at odds with what to do. He was starting to waste his time.<br/><br/>"Oh, um." he began, glancing at his clipboard again, "Sorry, can I leave you to finding the supply room on your own? I have somewhere I need to be."<br/><br/>"Am I keeping you from something important, sir?" he asked.<br/><br/>"Well, yes." he said, "A date actually. I totally forgot it was tonight and I'm going to be late." Perfect. L already knew he was going to get to ditch this stupid Fleshling and be free from his restriction on this ship.<br/><br/>"Please be off. I will find my way from that terminal." he said gesturing to the wall. The man nodded and ran off down the corridor out of sight, leaving L to turn and walk the other way, his gait drastically changing to becoming more relaxed and fluid, like a normal person would walk instead of a machine. He did like messing with Fleshlings....<br/><br/>He heard voices from around a corner but the sounds also drowned out footsteps approaching. Turning the corner he stopped abruptly as a Human bumped into him, as he looked him over for a moment as an oddity.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Sorry about that. Just used to protocol droids around here. You have name? Or number perhaps?" </span><br/><br/>Another waste of his time...<br/><br/>"Please move, Fleshling..." he muttered. The volume normal for the first word then sharply lowered for the rest, almost inaudible, "I mean, pardon me. I'm just looking for the supply room to restock my ship. I am L-337. Call me L." Again he put up his pre-programmed droid facade, trying to hide how advanced his AI really was.
