Meta respected Palin's choice, he was professional enough to have Meta operate on his own and trusted him enough to do so.

[b]Meta:[/b] Good.

Sahmi then put her hand on his shoulder and asked him if he was seducing her. Even though he never really interacted with women outside of jobs, he was sure that she was the one seducing him. He stared her down, his void black visor piercing her own gaze as he said with a dead serious tone:

[b]Meta:[/b] No, I do not.

She then walks over to a nearby shelf and retrieves the transect. As she brings it back and asks where to place it, he remarks:

[b]Meta:[/b] That won't be necessary.

Meta lifts both his hands and grasps the sides of his helmet. Sahmi could hear a faint hissing sound as the helmet depressurizes. He lifts it up, revealing his face before holding the helmet in front of her. 

[b]Meta:[/b] I would like you to attach the device here.

She would then ask about his name, to which he replies:

[b]Meta:[/b] You can call me Meta.

Back on the Tempest, both droids ignore most of Rufus' statements. However, the ASP then replies to Rufus' question about returning to his ship.

[b]ASP:[/b] Should you find a way to return to your ship, then do so. I will inform the captain of your departure.
