Still, I'd rather sacrifice a level and most of my character background than have Arley be controlled by some insidious (and condescending) computer program. :\I'm sorry, I didn't intend to mess up the campaign by playing a difficult character. I know droids are usually treated as a second class slave race in the Star Wars universe and that it'd be possible that someone might try to claim ownership of Arley and/or try to shackle it with a restraining bolt at some point in the campaign. That's not much different than any PC being taken prisoner or handcuffed however; a character can eventually get himself out of it. This T.R.A.P. is insidious however; there's no telling what it's capable of making Arley do.Arley chose to seek refuge with the Rebels because he thought they stood for freedom and equality for all people in the universe. It just made the mistake of assuming that it itself was included in that group. The problem now is that even if Arley beats this T.R.A.P., he's not going to be particularly anxious to do any favors for this traitorous Commander Bosch, whoever he is.Your idea of Arley backing itself up in case of erasure actually occured to me when I was first putting the character together. I was intending to role-play it in game once the campaign got rolling just to make it official. I just didn't imagine it would be crucial to do it before our first briefing. I also had the idea to erase the contents of the data-chip and use it to back myself up now, but Arley is already infected. I figure that any back-up I'd make at this point would be likewise infected.As for Melkor's character, I think we should let Aeson play it until Melkor affirms his desire to play. Actually, to be more fair, Aeson could just make a new character and we could retro-game a bit so that he is the one snoozing at the table. Melkor could join us later if/when he comes back. Just an idea.</blockquote>
