Sit down, enjoy the music :) * Fragment taps his foot on the ground along to the music * Artifice sits I don't think so... Prime considers your mission too important now... especially with the Neutral Faction gathering the attention of enemy groups... you'll have to play the dumb Liason for quite some time Slag Hey, at least your other half isn't a full decepticon program * Restore arrives outside Deadlift's quarters and hits the buzzer Yeah, but you won't have to deal with it becoming sentient anytime soon. Speaking of the other half, he's wanting to come out of the bottle so how much longer are we living the good life, boss? Yeah, who is it? Well, I guess you better go before he takes over Dunno. I suppose as soon as we have something better to do * Archlight hands the report to Punch Leading lasertorch lady here to make a house call Yeah, see that gets to Optimus * Dead_Lift opens the door.

I hear there's a great club down there Club? * Fragment gets up without warning and follows a femme-bot * Waitstate laughs Ah well, maybe I should get some relaxation in... * Shadowstrike settles in at the bar and orders a particularly *strong* drink. yeah you know, night club, dance club, or some such thing.

I guess I can do it myself.... * Dead_Lift goes to a shuttle and fires up the engines Open the shuttledoors. Tell Deadlift not to collide with Archie. * Lightning opens the flight deck doors * Dead_Lift notices the doors open The music is good.

Alright, I want the full scoop on the Ice Queen Misfit how can you watch such fodder * Misfit laughs Moron, why would I tell you? c'mon... I got us dinner reservations across town. Best energon cuisine on the planet, or so I've heard Don't laugh it's no joke. What is her history or else you'll join that trader bot Like I'm afraid of you. You did hear his scream I'm sure * Blacknife laughs * Admiral-Lilwall enters the club and is overcome by the noise. he looks around hpoing to find Waitstate quickly Why won't you spill the beans on your former boss? * Dead_Lift stops a passerby and asks for directions to the club * Scope begins walking around looking for a place to do something 'Cause she worries me more than you do.

Looking for me? * Dead_Lift looks across the street to see the club *yelling* What?? Speak up * Dead_Lift heads over and enters * Waitstate motions Lil over Well, excuse me.

"how the slag can you stand this noise?" * Misfit snickers * Waitstate yells "Noise filters" Ya get used to it big red, and because of the presence of femme-bots What the slag is that horrible noise!? What's so funny? * Dead_Lift looks around for the dying cyber-bovine You are Why me? You think you're so slaggin' scary, and brilliant Well if it's all the same to you, I'd like to get to this place you made arrangements for. it's not cheap and they don't refund you know Is that so... * Windscorcher spots Waitstate * Windscorcher runs over to him Hi! Remember me? right, I called us a... *is is cut off by the newcomer* uh, hi... should I? I came to your bar a few times back on Cybertron! * Windscorcher takes Waitstate's hand and shakes it How about your friend in the next cell? * Dead_Lift looks over and spots the rest of his group It was a long time ago, how did the bar get totalled anyhow? I hate to break up the happy reunion, but I'm heading over, I'll save you a window seat hm... sorry, I got a lot of customers you know * Admiral-Lilwall leaves the club with Fragment close behind You know the autoguns activate upon an attempt escape I understand. Anyhow, I've been tracking you for a while, took me this long to find you uh, that's a complicated story, and one I don't like to talk about * Dead_Lift watches Lil pass by Anyhow, you still got a position for me Waitstate? I'd love to join your group Seems to be the only way I can get some noteriety uh, I suppose so... contact my ship and we'll get you some signup forms * Dead_Lift walks up and stands behind Windscorcher Where is your ship Waitstate? in orbit Can I catch a ride on one of your shuttles then? If not, I'll just stay and hang out with you * Waitstate notes Lil disappearing in the distance listen, I have to be somewhere now. Can you get back to me later? Sure can! * Admiral_Lilwall arrives at the place Wait was talking about and enters with Fragment * Waitstate gives him the Freedom's recruitment line comm number * Shadowstrike browses through the weapons shop What is it that Strike is hiding, you know she decimated an entire city because of it? I'll call right away! * Snake-Eyes lies on her lounge chair at her quarters and watches the galactic news *laugh* That was before Strike's... hm. Never mind. * Waitstate sighs, leaves the club, then TFs and drives off as fast as possible Before Strike's what? Usually a bot gets a makeover when they try to hide...she got a new body .. * Dead_Lift transforms and follows Wait she doesn't want to be recongnized either... interesting * Shadowstrike selects two Mark V blasters, and a vicious looking dagger, and pays the store clerk. Before Strike's time. Slow down Waitstate, I'm no sports car here! * Misfit smiles. "The Commander's several steps ahead of you, Butterknife." * Blacknife gives an evil look * Misfit smiles super-sweetly. * Admiral_Lilwall waits outside 'The Laveit' where waitstate had made reservations By the way, if you'll tell I--- er, Strike, that I'd like to talk to her. * Blacknife grins beneath the faceplate * Waitstate slows down for DL, once he's sure he's gotten away from the freak stalker even in relaxtion mode the boss is too busy * Blacknife smiles super-sweetly as well now ;p So...that's why she reacted to me calling her an Ice Queen What? * Blacknife chuckles So, where you headed? * Windscorcher calls up the LSS place called "The Laveit" * Windscorcher taps his foot as he waits I think I got enough info from you Misfit... I wonder how long she'll let you live, Butterknife. My bet is not long. Yeah well if he doesn't show up real now like, our table is gonna go to someone else * Blacknife chuckles I am so worried. You ought to be. * Trilana answers. Transmission incoming... If you only knew... Hey LONAC! Now what... this is the poker episode... onscreen. That's what I do best....knowning... Anyone there? but you don't know *smile* Um... yeah? Who are you? * Blacknife shakes head And even if you did... it wouldn't matter. Hey! * Waitstate arrives, drives under the awning at thw front door, and TFs I'm Windscorcher, Waitstate gave me the number Well then why not tell me now? * Dead_Lift follows Wait * Waitstate enters Ah... ok. If I'll end up dead so what if I know everything? What's the deal with you, anyhow? Why are you so obsessed with the Commander? Trying to get into her quarters or something? Bout time. Where did Artifice end up going? * Blacknife feints at the obvious attempt to get him off subject I hate anyone who hides something...it spells trouble *from the other cell* Hell, Mis, he's not denying it. he isn't here? I thought he was with you. I'd watch yourself if I was you. Her last consort ended up dead. He was, for a while Yeah... so... what? I've been looking to join the group I don't want to be her consort What do I need to do? * Blacknife wiggles in disgust at the notion Uh... hold on... * Cobalt chuckles, a grating sound You got something I need to sign? Maybe a physical test? * Misfit laughs Tri, send him the forms in electronic format. so let's find our table already, I'm hoping we get that waitress-bot over there * Blacknife shakes head Then why so many questions? * Trilana sends the forms. * Artifice catches up to Waitstate and Admiral I want to find out everything Ok... fill those out in triplicate. Then what? At least try and be gentleman like Fragment, I don't really want to be thrown out of here :P Like I said I hate information being kept from me She's out of your league, Frag:) Just send them back and I'm in? * Waitstate steps up to the matre'd You two popped up then who's next? And then send them back, and we'll toss it in the review pile. You could find everything you need in the Cybertronian archives, if you were bright enough to know what to look for... Hey Waitstate, sorry I was late Waitstate, party of 4 I'm sure someone else is after her head... *I* was the only one who knew where to go. Hey great And Wait will go through them when he's not loaded. Better make that five When can I expect a call? Why would anyone be looking for someone who's dead? * Misfit laughs. Well... before we leave... this way *lead them to their table* Well, I'll get back to you guys, thanks! I already found out about the dead bot she named herself after, Misfit * Windscorcher cuts off the comm link and leaves Freedom out Sanford and Son... onscreen. :D Just what are you talking about? * Stardrive wathes. * Waitstate sits *snarls with disgust* youth element, they should all be locked away until they 'grow up' Oh spare me...you know exactly what I mean * Admiral_Lilwall and Fragment sit Someone who never existed. * Stardrive looks at Lighting... huh? Why don't you just mention that to the Commander, Blacknife, it would make her day. So Wait, what's on the venue? * Artifice sits * Dead_Lift sits as well bah! my shift is over. *leaves the bridge* *to Cobalt* You shut up. You're in deep enough as it is. So tell me Commander Ice decided to Kill this ShadowStrike herself just to take his id? * Stardrive sighs. "He's a professional to the end. * Waitstate checks the menu I owe her nothing. Not anymore. She hung us out to dry. Well then Cobalt why don't you tell me everything I know I retired so I could get away from stressful work but I still feel antsy in such a comfortable surrounding heh If you get me out of here, we'll have a deal. But not until. Kind of an oxymoron I guess * Trilana gets up from the comm and sits on SD's lap. "We've got the whole bridge to ourselves." * Waitstate decides on a selection Hrm, I might be able to arrange that.. * Admiral_Lilwall looks over the menu. * Admiral_Lilwall turns fragment's to veiw the menu as well, instead of the femme-bot near by * Artifice looks over the menu * Cuffs arrives in the brig* * Stardrive and Tri watch TV. ups.. guess not Up until LONAC I don't think I ever had a decent recharging. I took energy from wherever I could get it I was not aware you were on board again Blacknife. Hey! Where the hell have you been, guard boy? * Cuffs ignores the prisoners Your friend here is trying to break Cobalt out. Just making sure our two 'guests' are ok * Blacknife shakes his head * Misfit glares at Cobalt * Dead_Lift looks through the menu I'm sure you are. But I will handle that duty for now. Anything to get yourself free from the cell Thank you. * Blacknife nods Hey, "Cuffs"? Question. Look at these prices * Blacknife leaves the brig giving Misfit a darting glance * Cuffs turns to Misfit* D'ya think you could pass along a little message to Strike for me? Have you all decided on your orders, or do you need a little more time? Meal is on me, guys slaggin' guard showed up at the wrong time... No arguments there. But don't be asking for a loan later ;) heh and that would be? I'll have whatever Dead Lift is having * Waitstate gives the Waiter his order I'm game, whatever they're willing to eat I am as well Just a phrase. Carpe diem. She'll understand. * Dead_Lift tells the waiter what he wants And make that an extra charged. *to waiter* can I have the number of that waitress-bot? *points to other table* * Admiral_Lilwall slaps Fragment on the back of the head. "Activate your manners, shorty." I'm sorry sir, employee information is confidential :) fine fine * Dead_Lift shakes his head. "It's always the little ones..." Gimme the same as these guys Hey, us short bots get the best views * Admiral_Lilwall shakes his head. * Phoenyx recovers from her crash and joins Crevas in racing again Well just to fill you in, the rest of her body above the legs isn't bad either. * Dead_Lift grins hmph. shut up fork boy. * Dead_Lift chuckles * Shadowstrike returns to the landing pad, noting the presence of a LONAC shuttle there, proceeds to the shuttle. * Junky_LaFord fiddles with some stuff in Engineering. It'll be about 15 minutes. I'll bring you some appetizers, on the house, in the meantime * Shadowstrike stores her new acquisitions in one of the crates and leaves a message to that effect, then departs again. * Restore finishes work on the last of the drones her comrades never completed * Waiter walks off Slow food... not something I'm used to :) finally. running short on materials, I'll have to have Waitstate get some more at some point Food, heh * Admiral_Lilwall turns Fragment's head back to their own table by the sounds of it you'd think you spent more time with organics than me Well, early on, I probably did hey, what's wrong with eye-candy before a meal? I'm a few thousands years older than you and most of my clients are organic I'd say it ruins the appetite but in your case I'd say it makes it worse. [comm to Stardrive] everything ok up there? I guess it all depends on your roots well, my experience was probably a bit more... immersive [comm] Yeah... * Meteor rushes into the bridge [comm] One applicant... sorry I'm late for du-- erm.. Heh, I doubt that [comm] Other than that, it's pretty quiet. * Meteor notices Trilana on SD's lap [comm Stardrive] eh? That figures. Well, I'm off again. Take care, SD. * Trilana smiles sweetly and waves. trust me on this. I seriously doubt you were closer to organic types than I was Uh, well if you don't need someone to run the science station I can skip this shift * Trilana goes back to her console. No offense Waitstate, but you have no idea how close I got with some orangics althought it's quite ridiculous to * Stardrive chuckles. Just watching TV. Fleshies are strange beings aren't they :) I mean, we're practically immortal. Please you two, I will be eating soon, and I don't want the thought of fleshlin, er organics in my mind * Waitstate decides to change the subject before he gets into topics he doesn't wish to discuss I got accosted by some weirdo at that club. that's why I was late. * Blacknife decides to look up Autobot archives for Cobalt * Blacknife thinks of a way to get Cobalt out Yeah, yeah, and I was raised by them in the earthen forests:) Heh, I just got lost Weirdo? Not that bot that's been staring at us from his table since we got here is it? Hrm...the slaggin Auto may be handy if Cobalt has a history... who's he? he doesn't seem happy to see us Beats me, but he's been staring at us since we sat down * Waitstate looks nope, not the same guy at all * Large, red, yellow, blue and white robot stands and leaves the 'Leveit', staring nastily at the group as he does so Oh dear.. * Archlight reads msg on left on internal comp what the slag? * Archlight grumbles * Admiral_Lilwall calls the waiter over Ooo, what was that all about? * Archlight gets proper requisition forms Hey buddy, do you know who that bot is? *pointing out window to the bot as he disappears in the crowd* * Archlight enters brig * Cobalt notes Archlight's presence. He's been in a time or two I think. Why? Cuffs old chap I just got back from Cybertron and the Autobots want that bloke released to me...immediately * Archlight hands Cuffs the requistion forms he was giving us a nasty stare ever since we sat down * Cobalt is surprised, but says nothing. he bailed when we all took note of him * Cuffs looks over the forms I must clear this with Waitstate, of course... Well, he'd had a few already. Probably was just drunk. Of course old chap heh *to waiter* oh. I've seen that look a thousand times [comm] Cuffs to Waitstate... He must remember one of us, or at least thinks he does Isn't me. * Archlight whispers to Cobalt "Blacknife sends his regards...old chap" * Waitstate activates his comm [Comm]Yes Cuffs? * Cobalt smiles a very devious and cold smile... [comm] our Autobot resident has presented me with valid forms from Autobot Headquarters on Cybertron. They state that Cobalt is to be put into Archlight's custody What do you think, Lil? Strange that it's only one and not both... But, the sooner they're off the ship the better. ditch that damn autobot too I say yeah, it is Hey, stupid, didn't you hear me the first time? alright He's trying to get him out, don't you see? Jealous, Mis? I would get rid of him simply cause he's nuts [Comm] Well, I'd say screw Archlight, but Lil here is the voice of reason. Go ahead and let him. And encourage them to leave entirely, if you don't mind. I would do no such thing... He's slagging lying! He's not wanted by the Autobots... [comm] very well, but I note my disapproval. Don't! *takes out his weapon* Very well Archlight, you may proceed. You've been in the brig to long to be updated on who and who is not wanted....I'm sure you are next [Comm] Noted and agreed with. Do it anyway Never mind her. She took some damage in the battle... never was quite right in the processor. * Archlight gives Misfit a cold stare * Misfit protests more. * Cobalt smirks Do you have an extra pair of your namesake lad? * Archlight looks at Cuffs Not here. * Archlight grumbles I'll behave. After all, I have no weapon. Well, I'm not exactly taking him out without some type of restraint weaponless does not mean harmless. release him Archlight, I have you both under watch. Very well old bean * Archlight releases the doors to the cell * Cuffs stands ready for danger Well step out * Waitstate shuts off comm and takes a few of the recently delivered appatizers * Cobalt follows Archlight, the picture of good behavior. Sheesh, didn't the waiter say 15mins? I don't suppose you could follow me to the shuttle....I do have a pair of restraints there? * Archlight looks at Cuffs you are asked formerly by Waitstate to board a shuttle with Cobalt and leave the ship. He asks you not to return. Well, my word I guess Blacknife is no longer needed as well? * Cuffs motions to the door and follows them I am not at liberty to say. Proceed at once. * Misfit tries her comm to Strike and finds that it has been disabled * Archlight goes to the shuttlebay He'll kill her, you fools! You can't let him go! * Cobalt follows * Archlight slaps a pair of cuffs on Cobalt before entering the shuttle * Cobalt enters following Archlight stands away watching them enter Hey, I need to talk to Blacknife... can that be arranged? Sorry for the delay. Here's your order. *sets down plates, and smiles* One moment lad * Archlight closes the shuttle door * Archlight transforms * Cobalt smiles. * Dead_Lift takes his plate and begins to consume Peek a boo You're my kind of robot. * Cuffs opens the bay doors and waits for the shuttle to leave It's a gift Now, part 2. You help me find Strike, and I'll tell you what you want to know. * Blacknife takes the helm and departs the ship * Cuffs closes bay doors and returns to the brig Well then tell me on the way And I'll need a side arm. I'm not coming back. * Blacknife glares at Cobalt You're my ticket out of here, don't worry. I have no intentions of harming you. * Admiral_Lilwall tries the 'meal' placed in front of him I don't know about a sidearm... Let's worry about your friend first * Waitstate begins consumption hmm... pretty good stuff Eh, I've had worse. but I've definatly had better She's gone a bit astray. I just need to have a few words with her. Hopefully she just went down to the planet Keep quiet Right. So what was with the weirdo that molested you at the club? [Comm Shadowstrike] Hey Ice Queen you planet side? apparently, a stalker from the old Neutral Ground days. Kinda freaked me out [comm] Yes, you annoyance. I'm at the "Hole in the Wall" bar. What do you need? a stalker. well, we just keep getting more fans every day [Comm Shadowstrike] Oh nothing just checking on my favorite LONACIAN {extreme sarcasm} * Fragment begins hording down his meal [comm] Well, I was enjoying my day off and out of your presence. So later, pest * Shadowstrike turns off her comm * Blacknife laughs * Stardrive and Tri dance the polka in front of the main screen. * Cobalt grins with malice. I have a fix now before we land? And a gun for me, please. There will be dealers planetside Anyhow, that cargo run was a bust. the run itself was real. but the cargo was contraband I assume you found the information on the real Shadowstrike. And I don't have any credits right now. damn, I knew it. Organized crime connections? New Iceland aurthorities have already cleared the situation Yeah I'll give you the creds for the rest of the info....I don't care what you do with them * Cobalt grins wider. Deal then. Yep. Almost 600,000 pounds of an human drug called cocaine. worth quite a bit You see, Strike, or as *I* know her better, Ice, was a Decepticon fleet commander. Fell out with the High Council. I've moved quite a bit of that around shit. That stuff can mess a human up pretty bad. * Cobalt picks and chooses his details, but obviously, BK couldn't know that. * Blacknife nods and listens in interest In the old days we used to use that stuff to get humans to do pretty much whatever we needed done I sent Cirrus and Shadowpaw to check it out while I was negotiating a deal with the trader. it was pretty easy for our scanners to pick up, but they somehow managed to keep it hidden from authorities here * Waitstate sighs Well go on When she left the fleet ranks, she became a bounty hunter/pirate sort. That's where I met her. We left Cybertron for a very long time. And fell out with most of Polyhex in the process. * Blacknife nods Not all bad news though... oh? To make a long story short, our last adventure was a set up. Our ship was attacked by Autobots, and our reinforcements retreated. It was pinned on Strike, and she was presumed dead in the battle, so who's to dispute? *burp* when's dessert? I did manage to track down a legit trade run though ahhhh do tell * Admiral-Lilwall ignores Fragment Now, where are my credits? Is that what she fears? Retaliation from this set up ? How bad was it? then I'll give them to you Bad? We lost crew. To us, it was bad. The real Shadowstrike was lost in there I presume Retaliation is the least of her worries. If the High Council found out she was still alive, she wouldn't be for long. It's a cargo run, 4 tonnes of generic food stuffs to a new human colony being set up in the Grik System She knows too much to be left out in the open. Even with a neutral group. slag it, and they'll go through LONAC to get to her And yeah, the REAL Shadowstrike was deactivated in that battle. when does it leave? Which means we'll have bigger problems than you two, no offense *I*'m wanted by the High Council. Slag if I'm going to tell them where she is. And Misfit is the only other who knows about what she's done. Not for a few days yet. But it pays little over 10,000 credits * Blacknife nods Here, you earned them... Your LONAC is safe enough. not a bad payoff. Grik system isn't too far off * Blacknife gives Cobalt the credits Thank you... now if I were you, I'd forget where you left me. * Blacknife takes the shuttle out of Freedom's range first We need to make it look official first Not only that, it's relatively empty space. The sector Grik is in is pretty much uninhabitable, bar the Grik system itself sounds like Nelvada the only ships I'd expect to see on the way would be human craft, transports mostly Enough time to get to Cybertron and back...we killed half of it with your info Hurry up... with payment like that we could resupply and start on all those drones we discussed earlier So why come back for her... among other things of course. ooo, good I just... *pause* want to straighten something out with her before I leave for space again. Me and Restore have been futzing around with the design of late. I think she's getting antsy to start on em. I know I am. * Cuffs arrives back in the brig * Blacknife notes the hesitation You want to buy a gun and you want to be dropped off where Strike is... Yeah, staighten out indeed I need a gun for where I'm going. I think she said she was applying the new design to the four or five drones you lot never finsihed, boss If I wanted her dead, I'd've killed her in the fracas on your ship. GUARD-BOT! * Blacknife lands at a shuttle port... so Cobalt can catch one back to planetside already? drat, without me You MORON! Don't you realize he's going to ---- There should be more than enough creds to catch a shuttle and get your gun from here... * Cobalt exits the shuttle. "Thanks again, Blacknife". I share your concern, but not it's intensity. *mutes sound from Misfit's cell* * Misfit slams her hand against the wall in frustration. * Blacknife decides to kill the other half of the time at the shuttle port bar Well, since Dead Lift is paying, I'll be gracious enough to alleviate the cost of drinks. *waves for the waiter* He's off to kill Strike and Archlight gets the blame for letting him go...now this is probably the best laid plan yet and I'll cover dessert. Who wants? * Cobalt finds a place to purchase a weapon. He chooses something practical and *destructive*, then hops a shuttle to the planet's surface. Sure thing
