- "It either works or... it doesn't. We can tweak endlessly once it's stable. It's really just a question of whether the cortex-swap is rejected or not.

- ―Fay Drolla to Cassian Andor
Fay Drolla was a human engineer that worked with with the Alliance to Restore the Republic at its base on the moon Yavin 4 in 2 BBY.

When he was ready to power it up after the reprogramming he sent a corporal to notify Andor of the test. After explaining some of the details of the reprogramming his offer of protective goggles was rejected by Andor who instead chose to grab a blaster rifle and aim it at the droid during the activation. Drolla proceeded to flip a switch to activate the droid that would become K-2SO. [1]
