Building a Goliath

[Makkik]

Makkik stood in the large junk lot behind Jawamart, staring up at his latest creation; a droid over seven times his size. The huge droid loomed de-activated and suspended by a pair of wooden beams, it's large head with a singular oversized optical sensor sagging forwards to the ground. two huge arms hung down, both ending in a fray of wires rather then hands. Hands hand't been built yet. Three large legs, each ending in a huge clawed foot, kept the droid standing with the beams.

The Jawa who built the droid, with the help of Uncle Alakikk and Merikk, stood in front of it, staring up at it's completed hands.

He'd been waiting for Alakikk to deliver the missing parts for about five minutes. Way to long to be waiting! The impatiant Jawa tapped his foot rapidly against the sand as he stared up to his incomplete droid.

"Heshouldbehereanyminutenow!"

 

[Makkik]

A few moments later, another slightly taller brown-robed Jawa came in, leading a Dewback pulling a cart. Makkik spun around, and ran over to the cart like an excited child, compeltely ignoring Alkikk. In the cart was just what he'd sent Uncle Alakikk to search for; a good sized laser canon, and a small land-to-air missile launching system. When Suvian Sciences started mass producing these droids, they'd use new parts, of course... But for the prototype, salvaged ones worked just as well.

"Good, good, pulltheDewbackoverthere!" Makkik pointed over to the large droid in his Junkyard, smilling under his veil.

 

[Makkik]

Uncle Alakikk did as he was told, and led the cart-pulling creature over, where Makkik waited. After the cart was where he wanted it, the ropes were untied from the Dewback, and it was let go back to it's stable. "Nowwww!" Makkik smiled, and turned to a grumbling Alkikk. "Where'sthehoverplatform, hmm, hmm?" Makkik smiled at the thought of being able to use the hover platform again, while an annoyed Alkikk went off and fetched it. While his uncle went off to get his toys, Makkik glanced up to the droid again. "Oooooh! You'llbeagooddroid! Shotlotsoftanks!"

 

[Makkik]

A few minutes later, Alakikk came back with a small floating platform. It had originally been a Columni's floating chair,but Makkik had re-wired it, taken off teh chair part, and basically made it into a floating platform, controlled by a little remote. His uncle handed him said remote, before stomping off. "Riiight!" The Jawa glanced at the large laser canon, and frowned. It'd need a lot of power... would probably short out the droid, if he'd connected it otehd roid's power source... He'd need another one. Another crystal core in the canon! Makkik ran off into Jawamart. "Meriiiiiiikk!"

 

[Makkik]

A few minute slater, Makkik was standing back in the junkyard, next to his brother Merikk; who held a cofee mug almost as large as he was in both hands. The more exciteable of the two Jawas ran over to the laser canon, and lept up onto the cart. "We'regoingtoputthecanononthat!" Makkik pointed to the droid. "Youcanputacrystalcoreinit, right, right? Extrapower! Wireitup, wireitup realgood! It'llbecontrolledbythedroid,butwithit'sownpowersource. Canyoudothat? Hmm?" Merikk nodded silently, and placed his giant mug on the sand, to go off and get his tools. A that, Makkik turned to the little missile-launching system and rubbed his hands together.

 

[Makkik]

Makkik grabbed the small missile launching system, about six times as large as he was, and pulled with all his might. Nothing happened. Not even a little. He considered trying to use his tractor wand, but there was no way it could move this either... Makkik spun around, passing his brother as he ran back into Jawamart. "Bigtractorbeam! Whereisit, whereisit? Iknowit'sheresomewheeeeere!" The Jawa ran into his workshop, coming back out a few minutes later with one of teh small tractor beams used by construction beams, about twice as long as he was. Makkik began the slow job of pushing it to the junk lot.

 

[Makkik]

After ten minutes or so, Makkik laid the tractor beam on the sand, and fired it at the missile launching system. Keeping one hand on the button, the Jawa pushed all his weight against the beam projector, slowly turning it. In turn, the launching system slowly moved as well. Meanwhile, Merikk worked on the laser canon system nearby. After another ten minutes or so of pushing, a sweaty Makkik took his hand off the beam projecting button, allowing the launching system to lay on the hoverplatform. "Easypart'sdone!" The Jawa exclaimed, as he ran towards the platform.

 

[Makkik]

A minute later, Makkik was floating in the air on the platform next to the droid's left arm, slowly attaching wires from the missile launching system, to the droid's stump. He'd already programmed the droid to be able to control the device, he just hadn't had it yet. Now the Jawa hummed at the top of his lungs, probably annoying as kriff, as he connected it.

Meanwhile, Merikk, down on the ground, finished attaching the Crystal Core, and called up to Makkik. <<"All done!">> Makkik, however, didn't hear him over his own humming. His brother simply shrugged, and walked back to his cofee cup.

 

[Makkik]

After he'd finished connecting the missile launching device to the droid's right arm, Makkik steered the platform back to the ground, next to the laser canon. His brother was on the other side of the junk lot, in the shade, drinking from his massive coffee mug. "Oooooh! Alldone? Hmm? Alldone?" Merikk glanced up from his coffee cup, and gave a quick thumbs up. The hyper Jawa simply spuna round, adn started pushing the huge canon the few inches it took onto the platform. Very... slowly....

 

[Makkik]

Soon, Makkik was hovering up at the droid's right arm, doing the same with the laser canon as he did with the missile device. "Letssee, letsee... Wiresgottabegood!" Makkik reached into one of the large pockets of his robes, pulling out a spool of heavy duty wire, only to see Merikk had already placed the needed wiring around teh crystal core. "Ooooh, Oooh! Smart!" The Jawa smiled, turning on the platform quickly to start connecting the wires to the droid's arm. "GUnnabelotsofenergy! Bigcanon! Beshootin'lotsoftanks!" He started humming obnoxiously, again, as he welded it together.

 

[Makkik]

After a long period of properly connecting the canon, Makkik hovered back towards the ground. "C'mere, C'mere, C'mere!" He called to his brother, who soon wandered over, still sipping coffee. "Watch, Watch, Watch!" Makkik straightened up, and yelled at the top of his lungs up to the droid. "ACTIVATE!" In response, light appeared in the droid's large optical sensor, flashing from a dull yellow to bright orange. A moment later, the Goliath Droid replied, in an extremely high pitched and fast voice, exactly like Makkik's. "HOWCANIBEOFSERVICE?"

Merikk facepalmed.

 

[Makkik]

The next day, Makkik stood on top a high hill of sand in the Dune Sea, next to his prototype droid. The little Jawa held an oversized notebook in one hand, and a tiny pencil in the other, ready to take notes. Out in the desert, almost to far to sea, sat a good sized wreckage. Well, not exactly a wreckage. In reality it was a bunch of junk from his scrap yard he put in a pile resembling a wreckage, for testing the droid's weapons. "Activate!" Makkik yelled. In response, the Goliath droid hummed to life.

 

[Makkik]

While the droid looked down to him for orders, Makkik pointed out to the 'wreckage'. "That! Fireyourmissiles! Killit! Killit!" The droid made a buzzing sound of compliance, before raising it's massive left hand. It's optical sensor buzzed for a second as it scanned it's target. "TARGETLOCKED." The droid's voice boomed. "Fire!" The droid did. The two proton torpedos Makkik loaded into the droid's missile launcher fired in a blast of pinkish light, spiraling around eachother as they made their way to the wreckage. "Aaaaaaand.... BOOM!" A huge cloud of flame went up where the wreckage stood.

 

[Makkik]

"Now... totestthebestpart! Thelasercanon!" Makkik pulled a little pair of binoculars out of his robes, and stared off onto the horizon. "Nothing... Nothing..." A large Womp Rat, attracted by the explosion, appeared over a hill of sand, and slowly made it's way forwards, oblivious of it's being watched. "Ooooh! Thereyougo! Locktarget! Firetehlasercanon!" The Goliath droid'soptical sensor buzzed again as it raised it's right arm. "TARGETLOCKED. FIRINGARMCANON." An audible whirring sound was heard in the droid's arm as energy was funneled from the crystal core, and a moment later a huge blast of blue energy shot towards the womp rat. Of course, the rat was to small for the droid to hit... but the ball of energy slammed into the sand a few meters from it, instnatly transforming the sand for meters around into glass. "Friedwomprat'sforsupper!"

 

[Makkik]

The Jawa scribbled away on his pad for a few moments, before looking up to goliath with a smile. "Suvian'llmakelotsofyou! Yep, yep! You'llbeshootingtanks! Mhm!" The Jawa scribbled in his notebook for a few moments, before glancing up to the desert. Where the energy blast had hit, a crater in beutaiful shining glass had formed, with small pillars of sand around it's rim showing where the sand had shot into the air.

"GoodGoliath! GoodGoliath!"
