[ thomas has never been a droid, and thus, doesn't understand how scary short circuiting in a big gross lake might be, so he's on cable's side for not trying to stick them in there if they don't seem like they'll be okay.

that, and, you know, resources. waste not, want not, etc.

not gonna lie, though, chasing down a droid kind of seems like a lot of fun to him right now.

thomas gives him a sharp nod, stepping back, moving to cover the routes of escape for the droid as the two of them close in on it to get a closer look. ]

It'll need the arms retracted, or a seal around the openings. You know, if we get some plastic and duct tape, we could make any of 'em water proof...
