It shouldn’t have been possible for a droid to feel disgust.
And yet, in this particular case, it was. In stunned silence, Lucia watched with some measure of awe as a hulking war troll relieved himself off of the very cliff she had been scaling, his brackish yellow stream narrowly missing her in the process. While she had already known that organics and their bodily functions could be nasty, this was the gynoid’s first time witnessing one such function up close. Nevertheless, not long after the war troll had finished his business, Lucia continued her ascent up the cliff face, a cold, yet resolved expression borne across her pale features as she did.
Once the gynoid was just a couple feet beneath the edge, she floated one of her katanas into her hand and pulled herself up onto the cliff. As soon as she did, Lucia sent her katana flying like a missile towards the troll who had just finished relieving himself, willing her weapon to impale the monstrous creature through the back of his skull with little more than a flowing gesture. Striking with a dense, bone-crunching thunk, the katana impacted blade-first, causing the troll to immediately collapse, dead before he hit the ground. At almost the same time, the other troll glanced up. However, before he could turn around to see the source of the sound, the gynoid’s second katana cut through the air in boomerang-like fashion, before traumatically rendering the massive creature’s neck as little more than a spurting fountain of crimson fluid as the troll’s head was severed from its base, an expression of confusion and shock borne across its eyes.
Picking up the troll’s severed head by the hair not long after it had hit the ground, Lucia briefly studied it, before letting it fall once more. With that, the gynoid called her katanas back and tapped at her OmniLink to project a three-dimensional holomap of the Techno Magorum camp, mapped out by her drone only moments before. Her mission was to retrieve a specific vial of black liquid that had been stolen from a group of allied cultists and thereafter, punish the group responsible for the theft, if possible. Such an action would not have been necessary had the substance in question been of the mundane variety. However, this particular black liquid could imbue those who came into contact with it with the power of the Force. It went without saying that it could not be allowed to remain in the wrong hands, or else, there was a risk of the liquid’s formula being copied or reverse engineered by those who might use it towards heretical ends.
It was of minor consideration that the camp also held a number of slaves. Lucia did not intend to free them out of pure benevolence, but the possibility of leveraging them as a distraction to help her retrieve the vial had crossed her computerized mind more than once. Nevertheless, it didn’t take long for the gynoid to decide on her next course of action. However, upon closing her map, the gynoid’s photoreceptors narrowed in focus when her bodysuit’s sensors registered another presence.
