Because you know, that's a droid's lot in life.  It's our purpose!  To serve!  Labor and service, right?  That's what droids were built for!  I'm fine with it, this will take no time at all...  Really!  You just go and lay down in your bunks!  I'll get these aboard in... say, another two hours or so!  Not long at all!"</em><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.gyazo.com/943e88a21908eefc7cbb4f0c705fee7b.jpg)</div>The "Queen" tooka, in the meantime strutted up and down the decks, inspecting each of the new crew members with a tentative sniff, tail stuck high in the air, imperious in her dainty manner of inspection, barely giving a sense of approval or satisfaction at these long-legged bipeds.  Finally, she seemed to settle upon supervising Hira and just watched her silently with the aura of a stern auntie.
