[Ahsoka sounds very enthusiastic and as if she's been running for a while.]

I spoke with Master Kenobi, he approved of me training with you on shielding. I'd like to start as soon as possible - right after I find this blasted droid.

[Nomi responds a moment later, sounding cheerful herself.]

Of course, Apprentice. And...about this droid, what is going on?

voice.

[padawansnips]

[Oh, Nomi wouldn't know.]

He was programmed by the enemy and we had him on our ships. Turns out he was a spy who leaked our intel to one of the enemy's generals. And he tried to kill us a few times. Stubby's just an astromech droid so he doesn't actually fight, just mucks things up for us.

[ridesthesun]

[Nope! and neither does her mun, actually. I've seen 3 episodes of TCW]

An astromech droid can do any number of nasty things. What does he look like? And if I find him, how should I deal with him?

voice.

[padawansnips]

It can. He's 1.09 meters tall, with a cylinder body and dome head, painted up in gold and black. If you can find a way to shock him or shut him down then Anakin can reprogram him to work for us.

Voice.

[ridesthesun]

And where did you last see him? I'll certainly be on the lookout.

Voice.

[padawansnips]

He was heading into the lift shaft. Stubby could be anywhere. I'm sure he'll pop out eventually to mess with the stove or something while I'm using it.

Voice.

[ridesthesun]

...you're joking.

Voice.

[padawansnips]

I wish. Master Kenobi instructed me to stay in the known areas and I wouldn't put it past Stubby to have found a hiding place in one of those unknown spaces.

Voice.

[ridesthesun]

Probably. So, make sure you check everything before you do anything dangerous, right? And deadlock your door.

[A pause...]

Are you familiar with using the Force to disable electronics and droids?

Voice.

[padawansnips]

I will. Stubby is a tricky droid, it wouldn't be good to let my guard down when he's after me.

[An equally long pause.]

I've seen someone use the Force to make them work but I don't know how to do it.

Voice.

[Stars, what do they teach Padawans in your time...]

Maybe a trick I could show you as well. There are plenty of the little cleaning droids that are easy enough to practice with. But if you want something to experiment with on your own, just try pulling on the servos and capacitors and internal things. A gentle tug in the right place and most will stop entirely.
