Ship, locate Waitstate Waitstate is in his office * Artifice heads for Waitstate's office * Artifice steps in front of Waitstate's office Hey, Wait, when are we gonna do something? * Waitstate hears a faint voice outside the door Wait, what are we waiting for? * Admiral-Lilwall approaches Wait's office, nods to Artifice then hits the door buzzer enter * Admiral-Lilwall enters I can never remember when we just enter or ring the buzzer * Artifice walks in here's that evaluation for that Tip Over bot that's wanting to sign up * Waitstate looks up from his work * Admiral-Lilwall hands the data pad over Hi... what's this? the evalution I just mentioned... thanks... opinions? Let's take him we HAVE to let him in take a look at his history why the urgancy? We've got nothing better to do than recruit lost bots * Artifice folds his arms and leans againts the wall this guy is a matrix bearer nominee whoa... that's an impressive resume in itself yeah. but of course it's not all good news He doesn't want duty placement, he's strictly civilian *to Artifice* I hate it when he does that * Diablo walks off to his quarters * Deadlift enters the sim room Ug How many civilians do we need on this boat? slag, we rather need duty officers at the moment he would have been ideal Why don't we just go to Cybertron and pick up all the losers walking the streets? We'll start a boarding home, breakfast every morning Heh, we need lots of both at the moment :\ Artifice, That's an awfully bad attitude about it. what's got you so upset? It seems to me that we get an awful lot of bots wanting a free ride The purpose of LONAC isn't a military operation the last I checked, Artifice. Civvies are more than welcome IMO, less chance for fights to break out among crew :\ we've had enough of that type for awhile for sure What good is he to us then? and besides, more civvies means more business on the plaza, which means more internal revenue In case you haven't noticed, we've got enemies now * Deadlift runs through an Earthen sim nevertheless, we aren't a military organization, and I don't intend to become one Some day we're gonna be smack dab in the middle of a war and we're not gonna have any means of protection Where is this bot? I'd like to see him in person If anything, an even balance of both would be nice. Besides, I'm sure if we ever boarded, Tip Over would do something other than run about screaming like the average Civ Indeed. I want good people to join. Of all types. He's planetside gathering his things together, I believe So be it, but I'm gonna make sure that bot pulls his own weight around here You can't make a civilian do anything That really isn't your job, Artifice Then who's? * Backtrack walks past Bit's quarters Lil's, I suppose. He's still in charge of internal affairs. I'm sure Tip Over will be a good addition, whther it's duty or civil * Shadowstrike sits up and looks around medbay dazedly. I had hoped to eventually establish a commerce organization, but that will have to wait until we have more commerce. * Restore approaches Striker How are you feeling? * Firestorm removes his flame tubes and cleans them out * Shadowstrike takes a minute to respond. Surprisingly... OK. I'm sorry, perhaps I'm finding retirement a little too uneventful I'll still be watching this new bot, I'll give you that much I understand old friend... it's in your nature * Backtrack enters the sim room and joins up with Deadlift You should be, you've been treated by some of the best * Shadowstrike gives Restore a questioning look. The level of stress you had was most alarming. Your head could have very well exploded. ... I see. You've been planetside in one the finest medical facilities in this sector of space Do we have a timetable on when we'll be picking up Tip Over? An hour or so For how long? A few days I believe. I've not long been back to the Freedom myself That's right... you were gone... with Lil and the others. I'd like an interview before I make a final judgement on him, but I think he'll be a good addition All you need now is a few days rest and you'll be better than ever :) Something like that I'll make the arrangements and let you know :) *exits* What I'd like better is *indicates the monitoring devices attached to her* these off. * Waitstate starts to go back to work, then notes Artifice isn't leaving fine fine * Artifice leaves Heh, definatly doable :) Just make sure you get some rest, Dr's orders *takes off devices Thank you, Restore. * Waitstate watches the orange bot leave, apparently upset, and shakes his head * Waitstate returns to his paperwork * Firestorm examines one of the tubes. "This one definitly needs to be replaced" * Firestorm throws it away * Shadowstrike swings her legs over and stands up carefully. * Restore goes back to some med reports I'm going to catch up on my news. Later, Restore. * Restore waves * Shadowstrike leaves the medbay. * Goannis sits on the observation deck staring out at the planet below through the massive window * Cirrus walks to MedBay * Cirrus enters * Firestorm picks up another tube and looks at the junk clogging it up. "No wonder I nearly blew up the other day" Hey Restore! :) * Restore looks up from her desk, of the side of main medbay Hey Cirrus, something I can do for you? yeah, actually * Restore comes out to meet Cirrus Just before we left New Iceland, I was in stunt flying competition. I think I knocked a servo out of whack. It's been bugging me ever since * Restore preforms a quick scan before having Cirrus get up on a 'medbed' thing * Cirrus sits on the platform * Shadowstrike takes a lift up, and goes to her quarters. * Restore opens Cirrus' chest and does some slight reconfiguring before closing him up * Restore takes out a small device, preses a few buttons then veiws the resutls with smile Good as new :) * Cirrus beams thanks! :) It's good to have you back :) * Restore nods then goes back about her work * Deadlift leaves Backtrack to the sim trust me, definitely good :) * Cirrus laughs * Deadlift heads to the cargo bay I'll seeya later then :) cya * Cirrus exits MedBay for the Plaza * Scamp heads for the Plaza * Firestorm puts the tube down then removes his flame tanks * Goannis exits the obeservation deck and decides to explore the rest of the ship * Shadowstrike uses her terminal to find Wait. * Scamp looks into Terra's shop Anyone home? * Cirrus exits into the Plaza and heads toward the Quick Bite Come in! hey sweety I don't think I've been here before, what do you sell? Well, it's a gourment fuel shop, I suppose. A cafe :) * Cirrus enters the shop Hi Terra! * Cirrus sits down at a table * Scamp looks at Cirrus So, what do you have Terra? Hi there Cirrus. Your usual? Mind if I call you Terra? yeah, please :) * Terrafirma turns back to Scamp go ahead. Everyone does :) What's the difference between this place and the bar? Aside from the company? * Deadlift enters the Cargo bay Well, for one thing, we don't sell alcohol here. I like to think the atmosphere is a bit more pleasant, too. And you won't find most of my wares at the bar. * Terrafirma brings Cirrus his EnerSmoothie and snack bars Where's your wares? Mind if I take a look? * Terrafirma gestures to the big picture menu behind her Help yourself :) * Backtrack exits the sim and heads for the bar Don't mind if I do Oh, I almost forgot... I have a special deal on a sampler pack for first time customers I'll have some of yours Special deals : ) One sampler special then? If that's what you got, that's what I want alright then... cash credits or ship account? * Backtrack enters the bar and takes a seat at a table * Firestorm checks how full the tanks are then put them down with the tubes and leaves for the plaza Cash credits are good * Scamp fans some credits in his hand and slaps them down like cards alright... 3c for the special deal. You want that wrapped to go, or will you be staying a bit? :) Oh, I'll be staying Ah, good. Have a seat anywhere then. :) Hmm my table is pretty empty! hehe Ur Well, I guess now is as good a time as any * Scamp sits across the table from Cirrus and puts his feet up * Scamp sighs * Cirrus smiles across the table * Scamp squints at Cirrus * Scamp casually waves his hand slightly in the air so, what do you you like to do here? On the ship that is * Terrafirma walks up and sets a small EnerSmoothie tankard in front of Scamp * Firestorm walks into the plaza and looks around On the house :) Why thank you * Scamp retracts his face plate Oh, I like everything here pretty much. I'm particularly keen on these snack bars though :) * Scamp makes a gun with his fingers and makes a clicking sound This is all very strange for me. I was a Decepticon for years, and now I'm supposed to hang out with Autobots and Decepticons alike * Cirrus retracts his own faceplate and crunches down on a snack bar Dark Star always encouraged us to interact with the rest of the crew. Kinda funny, I don't ever recall him leaving his quarters for anything other than a mission It was a little weird for me, too. But I was never a front lines kinda guy, so I never really developed any sort of real dislike for the 'Bots. * Firestorm walks into the bar and takes a seat Dark Star... that guy gives me the jaggies. No offense, of course. * Download continues to do general cleaning behind the bar Hey, he was new to me too. I'm too used to being a Decepticon As far as I'm concerned though, the Decepticons can all burn in the pit. After what they did to me * Cirrus raises an optic ridge * Scamp takes a few sips of his drink * Backtrack goes up to the bar for a drink *quiet* It wasn't something they did to me that drove me away... it was what they did to others * Terrafirma walks over to Cirrus and sets down some more snack bars, patting him on the shoulder as she leaves Some day I think I'll give a few of them a visit Hey, didn't notice that anyone else was in here * Goannis ends up at the main cargo bay, but decides not much of interest could be in there so she heads back to her quarters for awhile Hey Terra * Terrafirma turns her head yes? * Scamp smiles I'm here now and then. Name's Download. New civvie on board, working the bar while the boss can't :) So Cirrus, How did you meet up with LONAC? it's not an interesting story really. They were resupplying at a planet I was stationed on. * Backtrack extends his hand "I'm Backtrack, I'm fairly new here myself." Same here, I'm Firestorm * Download shakes what he can of Backtrack's hand, seeing how is just a small disk-former * Cirrus takes a sip, noisily emptying the drink So...what's your expertise? Me? heh, just barstaff I'm afraid Goodness We've got a lot of newbies on board, kinda strange how they all just started showing up eh, they seem to come in waves. We got the 5 of you all at once, for instance Yeah, and three of us are gone now Flamer and Repairs, though I won't be doing any flaming until I can get more Flame Tubes and fill up my flame tanks a bit do you miss em? They'll be back I'm sure. LONAC is the only relief from the war they'll ever get to see in their life times I don't miss anyone * Scamp takes another sip of his drink you don't just mean them, do you? * Deadlift appears in the doorway behind Scamp. What do I look like to you? Some kind of Autobot fluf? What's goin' on in here? * Scamp finishes his drink oh come on... everyone has friends Conversing * Cirrus turns and waves to Deadlift hehe, no Scamp, you're the LONAC fluff * Deadlift grins Hi Cirrus If I were as uncivilized as the rest of the crew you'd be getting a good look at the floor now * Scamp closes his face plate I don't like angry arguments in my store. Fair warning. So Backtrack, what about you? * Deadlift stifles a chuckle, "Yup, I bet" Don't worry Terra, they won't make trouble :) Ex-Autobot Military strategist. Warfare is my game:) * Terrafirma laughs, and mutters to herself "Optimists, heh" Warfare eh? So how come you left the Autobots? Strategist hey, Novaburst's into that sorta stuff too among other things I needed a break. The years of fighting wears down on your gears after awhile * Artifice checks the ship's computer for the location of the new bots Geez, everyone seems to go to the bar * Artifice heads off Download> Heh, I'll agree on that one * Artifice sits down at a table away from the new recruits * Terrafirma focuses on Deadlift So... are you going to just stand there, or are you going to buy something? Hmm. Yeah, I'll have whatever they're drinking * Firestorm watches as Scarab jumps out of a dark spot and approaches him ship account, right? Affirmitive alright... one medium EnerSmoothie, 2.5c * Firestorm picks up Scarab and places him on the table Thanks say your name for voice authentication please Deadlift. Thanks... I should have the energy reader set up pretty soon, so no more of that voice stuff Besides, no one wants to hear Deadlift's wreched voice * Terrafirma eyes Scamp I don't know how anyone could over yours anyway. * Deadlift casts a side glace at Scamp But, I digress With the grace of a con heh * Scamp kicks out a seat making sure it hits Deadlift Have a seat with us will you? Thought you'd never ask * Deadlift takes the seat We're having a party, three old Cons talking about LONAC * Cirrus watches nervously Well I'm off now, going to look for some place to refill my flame tanks. * Firestorm picks up Scarab and leaves. "See you guys around" What was the unfortunate situation that brought an unfortunate like you to LONAC Dead Lift? See you later Firestorm * Scarab beeps Ah, that unfortunate situation goes by the name Blacknife. He met up with me, and I decided to join [comm to Lil] Lil, is that Tip Over guy on board yet? [comm] Negative [comm to Lil] hm, alright. Keep me informed.
