"Wait so explain again the bit where you're going to make a computer person so we need to go to spooky caves?"
"No reason to think they're spooky."
"All caves are spooky."
"You have quasi echo-location, I would think you'd be fine in caves! Besides, you're staying with the ship."
"The hell I am, I saw-"
"You shut up about what you saw. Not even here. Not a word."
Previously amused voice was suddenly filled with ice and warning.
"I-.. Yes Boss. You know you can count on me."
"I know."
There was awkward silence for a few moments before the Togruta spoke again.
"So! Computer-folk and spooky caves."
"Spooky caves full of crystals."
"Spooky crystals?"
"Could be so, I suppose."
"Couldn't we just like.. Buy one? Pay a smuggler? Somewhat like that? We are a giant criminal organization, can't see why we have to go do this ourselves."
"I don't want anyone else to have touched it, ever. No one else's aura or signature, no little bits of their soul and self."
"So it's a soul-stealing crystal. That is basically the definition of the concept of a spooky crystal."
The Twi'lek laughed.
"It doesn't steal it.. Mirrors? Attunes to? If everyone had their own chord, their own unique sounds, these crystals sing them back to you, and then they remember them."
"Still spooky. So you're making a computer person of yourself?"
"No, I'm not even using my own brain mapping. This might not make any difference at all, but it might also be a kind of basic.. Imprinting I suppose?"
"..like puppies?"
"I-.. Yes. Like puppies. Exactly like puppies. Let's go with that. Fly the ship."
The only reply was a snicker.
