"I do recieve combat pay, don't I?" The speaker was Squeaky, situated behind Wedge's seat on the Millenium Falsehood.
"If we're fired upon, yes." Wedge said. "Otherwise you just recieve hazardous duty pay."
Chewbacca grumbled something. Squeaky said, "Shut up, you."
Wedge grinned. He'd never met a 3PO unit as verbally abusive as Squeaky. Most of them, because of standard programming and because they knew themselves to be defenseless, attempted to ingratiate themselves with everyone they met - usually with so much talk they ended up aggravating those they wished to befriend. But Squeaky was a manumitted droid, owned by no one, and had a few quirks. "What did he say?"
"I don't have to translate comments like that."
"Translate everything. I'll decide what's important and what's not."
"He said he could guarantee I recieve combat pay by pulling off my legs and hitting me with them."
