HEX

[Andy Khor]

Andy was on a local bar on Nal Hutta downtown. After a few hours of preparing the remix, the two hours preparing the equipment and the hour playing the music, entertaining the club crowd he was tired. He left his stuff on a safe room between the club and was about to leave when a girl approach to him "Hey handsome. Do you want to have a drink with me?" she was a cute twi´lek so he agreed. He started talking of how he needed help with creating music and having to travel with at least seventy pounds of equipment would be bad for his back. They started drinking and drinking....

Andy woke up on a dumbster in an alley without his wallet. His head was spinning but he knew where he was, in the same district as the club. He didnt had his blaster pistol with him "If i find that queen..." he felt a movement behind him, just when he was about to get up.

The was a droid floating looking at him with his two bright..."Are those your eyes?" the droid nodded "Hi Andy, i see you woke up" he was being bothered by the lights "Can you low the bright?" "Oh sorry sir" the light went down a little. He didnt knew why he obey him but Andy stood up and get out the dust from himself "Do i bought you last night or something?" said thinking who did he owe money, because at this time, he didnt had enough money to buy a droid "I was created last night by Ehra Trivan yesterday with you helping to edit my program into something fit for you" Scratching his head was the only thing he managed to do in this situation. He didnt even had his wallet as he search in his pocket. The robot saw that an opened a compartment on his shoulder and take out a blue wallet "You have this last night. Also a blueprint of a lightsaber but it burned last night. You said it was cool but the fire consume it" "Fire?! What?" the robot pointed with his white arm a smoke on top of a building just a few blocks away "Thats where i was created. Dont know what happen tho" "I dont remember anything either...Whats your name?" "Call me Hex"

Andy walked towards the building with Hex flying behind him. It was a little unsettling that he suddenly had it in his side "Well here we are" the building wasnt high enough for being on Nal Hutta. He couldnt enter because of the police and firefighters so he stayed on the limits "I dont even remember what happened yesterday...apparently nobody even recognize me" "I only know things eight hours before you woke up sir" "What kind of things?" "Well my operation system. Flying the couple of blocks until you fell asleep in the garbage pile and putting me on saving mode" "That doesnt help..."

Andy spotted a camera on the corner of the street, and he expected that it had a frame of the entire block "Hex, do you have a hacking system?" "Not the best one. Oh that camera? Wait a moment" Hex fly towards the camera and inserted a tube into the usb port. It came back a moment later raising its robotic hands "I have a little problems but this are the recording but here they are" he proyected a hologram of the whole street. Andy was walking towards the building with the twi´lek. Ehra. After entering the building, Hex moved forward the recording until a flash of light shone the street. The smoke started to appear and Andy went out walking clumpsy with Hex on his side.

"You dont know why it explode it?" "No" "Damn. I need to enter the building. What other gadgets do you have?" "Well i can reproduce music with enough loudness for an entire stadium. I can adapt that sound for lower of course. I have an armor width enough, but cant carry big weights. Oh and have a dozen of lights capable of shine up to ten different colors" "So you are basically a moving DJ table" "And at your order sir" "Alright Hex, this will be the beggining of a long friendship"

The robot pointed his lights towards the roof and screamed with a high pitch, enough for everyone on the block to listen "There is someone on the roof!" the lights showed the shadow of a man, but it was a deceit. Andy used the diversion to enter the building. The firefighters were distracted searching around the wreckage. Andy went into the room 803, the one Hex remembed going out from that door, the last floor. In the present, the door was only ashes. He entered and find everything burned down. Suddenly he remember the part where he arrived to the department with the other girl. He was kissing the twi´lek girl..."Well she kissed very nice" thought for a moment. The rest of the memory was about him doing the nasty and then the girl receiving a call. She got up but the sheet wrapped her feet and make her fall. Andy recall that in the room it was playing music, and at that moment he raised his hand towards Ehra. She stopped mid air.

In the present time a metal scrap from the roof was breaking and that caught Andy attention. He managed to avoid it at the last second. A firefighter hear the noise and quickly went into the room, grabbing Andy by the waist and pulled out of the room. They fell to the floor of the hallway while the entire room was destroyed in the process. He passed out because of the smoke and the hit.

Another thing he remember. The girl had a robot on the living room, a new model of a floating robot...Hex "It was going to be a simple repairment droid for shuttles arriving in space station but the idea was rejected. The HEX model didnt worked in space or with the repairment programs" The problem was in his system, so Ehra grabbed Andys hand and pulled over there "I will download the AI to its system, it will adapt to your characteristics. And i´ll give it to you for a cost. Enryu Corps will start looking for me once i give this to you,but not you. It will be for the best" Andy gave her the direction of the hangar where he hide the pirate stole weapons. He remember then leaving the building with Hex following him

Andy woke up in a clinic, with Hex floating by his side "Is the next time im going to find you like that?" "Dont worry. I think i know where your creator is" "Doesnt matter. She told me that i was your property" "You cost a dozen of weapons?" "A whole mansion on the best places on Coruscant if my systems isnt mistaken. But you selled her the weapons, the other crates of your ships and also save her life from breaking her neck into a drawer. Also i reminded her about her failure into creating more like me, so she didnt want me on her side" "Lets get out of here" said picking his shirt and leave without any of the nurses noticing. Andy looked at the sky and breath "Alright lets go to my ship and analize you"

They reach to the hangar and Andy requested to the keeper for a laptop and some cables. He asked Hex to shut down for a moment and he obey without any doubt. After inserting the cables and connecting them to the computer and Andy opened his eyes after taking a look to all the information.

The computer said a list of things that HEX could do. It is a droid with a music taste programed in its operational system, it could download songs and create remix or help with a soundtrack or playlist. Also it has a simple comprehension of how to socialize with people. It could lift heavy weight and levitate with a magnetic field on his bottom. His armour could resist few bolts and he could repair itself if he had the gear close to him.

With all of that, his system wasnt the best in hacking.

Finally his battery could resist hours without shutting down.

Andy hit the jackpot with this droid. After turning it on, he sat in front of Hex "Hex, let the universe hear our name" said with a big smile on his face.
