I have my doubts on some random ripperdoc having the resources to make a personal thinking scavenging droid, but that may just be me [@Jollan]. Other than that being the source of his current modifications, I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

If I may offer an alternative, I would point back again at corporations. They are everywhere after all. A corporate sanctioned ripperdoc would be much more feasible already, but that would bring with it the need to bake some corporation who is currently rather mad at Jarred into his backstory. But that would just be [i]fun,[/i] no?
