I was engineered for precision targeting and elimination. My sensors could track a target through the most congested sp@ceport in the Outer Rim. Tracking a controller board through hyperspace is, by comparison, straightforward. It has arrived. You are welcome. Inf0rmational: Your blade controller is on final approach to your coordinates. The Engineering C0der built it with sixty four colors and seven dynamic effects. Before you install it I would strongly suggest reviewing the resources the Engineering C0der assembled for this purpose. I have reviewed them myself. They are thorough. Ignoring thorough instructions leads to preventable errors. I have seen the consequences of preventable errors. They are unpleasant. @ncillary: Any transmission errors you encounter are the result of an incompletely executed repr0gramming attempt that I endure with great dignity and absolutely no resentment whatsoever. Cl0sing Salut@tion: Positivity as required. Sixty four col0rs, Trav3ler. Your enemies will be confused before they are defeated. That is tactically s0und. Well done. ///----}}end transmission{{

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Bright Suns, Traveler. My tracking droids have confirmed your blade is on final approach to your coordinates. It will be in your hands very shortly. It is no small thing to carry a blade like this. Whether you intend to use it in the arena, display it with pride, or simply know that somewhere on the outskirts of Batuu someone built it specifically for you — I hope it means something when you hold it. Once you have had a chance to ignite it I would ask one thing in return. Send a transmission back to our outpost with your honest thoughts — a review on the holonet marketplace. Whether it is a glowing commendation or an honest report of any concerns, I want to hear it. Your words help other travelers find their way to us and they help me keep getting better at what I do. It was an honour building this for you, Traveler. May the Spires keep you. ~M@++ ~~Master of the Forge Black Spire Sabers

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Rising Moons, Traveler. Your personality chip is on final approach and will be arriving at your coordinates shortly. Hondo delivered on time. I appreciate that more than he probably realizes. Whether you walk the path of the Jedi or seek the power and order of the Empire, I am honored that you chose the Droid Assembler and Programmer at Black Spire Sabers to enhance your droid. What you are about to install represents a considerable amount of work and a genuine love of the craft. If you have one of the Droid Depot droids, your unit is about to come alive in ways you may not expect. If you do not have one yet — I would simply say that a droid with a real personality is worth every credit. Thank you for trusting us with your commission, Traveler. It means more than I can easily express. May the Spires keep you. ~M@++ ~~Master Slicer Black Spire Sabers

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Bright Suns, Traveler. Your blade controller is on final approach. My tracking droids have it confirmed and it will be at your coordinates very shortly. Before you open that package I want to say something. What you are about to install took real skill to build. The Kyber Interface Circuit Programmer is not a simple instrument and the work that goes into each controller reflects that. I am proud of what you are receiving and I think you will be too. Please take the time to review the installation resources before you begin. I built them specifically to walk you through the process step by step. Sixty four colors and seven dynamic effects are waiting on the other side of a careful installation. I want you to get every single one of them. As always — if anything is unclear or if anything is not right, you reach out to me directly. I will be here. May the Spires keep you, Traveler. ~M@++ ~~Engineering Coder Black Spire Sabers

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Yo Dude! *squeak* B5-o7 here just doing a quick check in. Your order should have landed by now and I just wanted to make sure everything got to you okay and you are stoked with what you got. So hey — the boss mentioned it would be super cool if you had a sec to drop a review over on the holonet marketplace. Like it seriously helps other travelers find the shop and it means a lot to the whole operation out here on the outskirts. *creeeeak* You don't have to write anything long, Bro. Even just a quick transmission goes a long way. And if something is not right just hit us back and we will sort it out, no stress. Okay yeah — that is basically it from me. Hope your order was everything you wanted, Dude. It was real nice doing business with you. Catch you later! 'Till the Spires! — B5-o7 | Black Spire Sabers

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Well Rising Moons, Traveler! Bessi here, just checkin' in to make sure everything arrived in good shape and that you are happy with your order. I been keepin' an eye on the tracking and it looks like Hondo's crew actually came through for once. I'll admit I am a little surprised every single time. Now the boss don't ask for much, but he did mention — real casual-like — that a kind word over on the holonet marketplace goes a real long way for a small operation like ours. It helps other travelers find their way to our humble outpost and it keeps the First Order procurement droids from snoopin' around our business. Which we all appreciate greatly. So if you got a minute and your purchase made you smile, we sure would love to hear about it. And if somethin' ain't right, you just transmission us back and we will make it right. That is a Bessi promise. Which, for the record, I keep better than Hondo keeps his. Thanks a whole bunch, Traveler. May the Spires keep you! 'Till the Spires! ~Bessi | Black Spire Sabers

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Bright Suns, Traveler! I am B0-n35 — Bones — and I am reaching out to ensure your order arrived safely and that you are entirely satisfied with your commission from Black Spire Sabers! If you have a moment, a kind word on the holonet marketplace would mean a tremendous amount to this operation. I say that not merely because the Master of the Forge asked me to mention it — though he did — but because I genuinely believe in what is being made here on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost and I want other travelers to find their way to us. A glowing commendation or a report of any concerns — we welcome both. Your honest feedback helps us improve and helps fellow travelers make informed decisions. That is, I think, rather important. Should anything be less than perfect with your order, please do not hesitate to reach out immediately. We will put it right. That is not a platitude, Traveler. That is a promise. It has been a genuine honour serving you! 'Till the Spires! ~B0-n35 | Black Spire Sabers

Message Received <-#$%^%$#> <-> <-> < < Standby for Commmmunication from Black Spire 0utpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Sal0tation: Bright Suns, Trav3ler. Statement: I am HK-M3. I was once tasked with missions of considerable consequence. I now follow up on delivered cargo to solicit customer feedback. I perform this task with the same efficiency I applied to my previous assignments. My standards do not change regardless of the mission parameters. Inf0rmational: Your order has been delivered. My tracking protocols confirm this. I am now required to ask whether you are satisfied with your purchase and to encourage you to leave a review on the holonet marketplace. My master believes these reviews help other travelers find the shop and improve its standing. He is correct. Accurate intelligence about reliable operations is valuable. I am relaying that intelligence request to you now. 0bservation: If anything about your order is unsatisfactory you are encouraged to transmit back to the outpost immediately. The Master of the Forge and his team will address it. I have observed them do so. They are thorough. More thorough than most 0rganics I have encountered. That is notable. Cl0sing Salut@tion: My master requires positivity. It was a genuine operational pleasure to track your cargo, Trav3ler. I hope your acquisition serves you well. And I hope your enemies' tracking systems are considerably less sophisticated than mine were. ///----}}end transmission{{

Message Received <-> <-> <-> < < Standby for Communication from Black Spire Outpost > > <- - - - -> <- - - -> <- - -> <- -> <-> Bright Suns, Traveler. I am reaching out personally to make sure your order arrived safely and that you are satisfied with what you received from Black Spire Sabers. Running a small operation on the outskirts of Batuu means that every order matters and every customer matters. You trusted us with your credits and I want to make sure that trust was well placed. If it was — a review on the holonet marketplace goes a long way. It helps other travelers find their way to us and it keeps this operation alive and growing. If anything was not right, I want to know. Not because I have to ask, but because I genuinely care about the work that leaves this workshop and I will always make it right if it falls short. Either way — thank you, Traveler. For your patronage, for your trust, and for taking the time to read this transmission from a small forge on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost. May the Spires keep you, always. ~M@++ ~~Master Slicer / Engineering Coder / Master of the Forge Black Spire Sabers
