Session Start: Sat Jul 15 2000 * Waitstate sits in the command chair What's the status on the repairs? * Splitwit walks out of the sims almost complete good. I hate being dock-bound. * Splitwit walks around the ship * Slipstream tries t'get some sleep in her quarters * Deadlift does stuff Well, I suppose I should go check in on some of our new guests I guess you can take the bridge Lil. I'll be out among the people ;) have fun * Splitwit enters the bar and orders some unnamed thing * Takedown, Backtrack and Crimson are all in their quarters resting * Waitstate gets up and heads to a lift, then enters Computer, locate Lifeblood * Lifeblood continues getting settled in. * Deadlift walks the hallways * Shadowpaw sits in her quarters listening to 20th century Earth music * Slipstream gives up tryin' t'sleep and heads for the bridge * Splitwit finishes his drink and leaves the bar LONAC... whee Unit Lifeblood is moving between his quarters and the medbay. * Misfit helps Storm settle into his quarters. Take me to the lift exit closest him * Deadlift turns on a radio he is carrying with him and turns the volume up * Computer beeps acknowledgement and the lift begins moving * Waitstate exits when the lift stops, a few meters away from Lifeblood's location * Lifeblood continues with his busywork, with the aid of Knock-Off. * Waitstate walks over to him Good evening doctor Ah. Waitstate. What is our status? repairs are almost complete how are you settling in? * Slipstream arrives at the bridge I am proceeding well. The medbay controls are of reasonably recent make. good. I hope our CMO hasnt given you too much trouble :) only a few years old. Spared no expense :) * Splitwit passes by Dead-Lift Superior to much of what I had to work with when beginning my last assignment. good to hear er, I guess... heh * Shadowpaw mumbles to self "how could they consider this Elvis person 'talented'?..." She has been very lenient in allowing me to roam around. good, good I just wanted to make sure everything was going well * Splitwit heads towards his quarters Have you some business to attend to? not in particular * Deadlift runs down the hall, tosses the radio in the air, transforms and lets the radio land in his seat as he speeds down the hallway * Slipstream enters the bridge and notices Lilwall there Heya Admiral. :) Slipstream Ah. May I accompany you to wherever you head next, then? I still wish to acclimate myself to the ship and its crew, and Knock-Off can handle most of the menial transportation work himself. * Admiral-Lilwall continues over old paperwork * Shadowpaw switches the music from Elvis, to The Beatles, and hums along hm... well I'd just thought I'd see how people were adjusting. suppose you could accompany me to some of the other crew * Splitwit enters his quarters, and begins typing away on his computer I would appreciate that. * Slipstream sits down idly at one of the bridge stations alright... you're sure your, um, drone? can finish the task by itself? Certainly. Any further organization, I can attend to later. alright then. Hm, I guess I'll check up on our other recent arrival then * Waitstate motions to the lift after you :) * Splitwit spins in his chair Thank you. * Lifeblood proceeds to the lift. * Waitstate enters the lift with Lifeblood Computer, locate Splitwit * Crimson exits his quarters and looks down the hallway, his red insignia shining brightly * Shadowstrike sits in her quarters reviewing the reports of the battles she missed Splitwit is in his quarters ah, take us there then * The lift proceeds So, I take it you haven't done much exploring yet? I have been very busy... So. Are we due for departure soon? Have we departed, for that matter? * Shadowpaw stops the music with a sigh and heads for the bridge a few days at most Where are we headed? Splitwit's quarters oh, you mean when we leave, heh * Deadlift comes tearing around the corner and nearly hits Crimson Mmm-hmm. we're going to look in to some shipping contracts in the Inner Rim * Crimson ducks back into his room to avoid collision * Deadlift comes to a screeching halt and transforms Whoa, sorry bout that. Just felt like letting the old treads let loose, *singing lightly* can you take me higher... to a place where blind men see... Do you carry a great deal of freight? not in general, but we have rather signifigant storage capacity. Especially considering all the empty rooms. * Shadowpaw arrives at the bridge, and enters Where you headed? Is the ship generally self-sufficient, then? No place in particular. Just joyriding. generally, yes. We often need credits for repairs and such though *looking around, then at Lil* Anything I can do? Mmm-hmm. * Slipstream notices SP come in oh, heya Shadowpaw. :) I was just going over some details about the crew, you know, to get to better know who they are? I was wondering, would you mind filling in some details? We also have a few other items that we can't produce locally. For instance, some of the bar's more... exotic fare. Well, there's plenty of old science data that's never been attended to *singing lightly* love me love me, *say* that you'll love me... Sure, no problem! perhaps you and Slipstream could get it into some sort of order Hi, Slip. And how do you usually accumulate the wealth to procure this? * Deadlift enters Crimson's room and the door shuts behind him. Aries would probably appreciate it *to Lil* No problem... Generally with shipping contracts, and the occasional trade. We have a full energon production system, for instance. I occasionally will delve into, shall we say, grey areas for funding in a pinch, as well. *singing lightly* you got the touch... you got the powerer... yeah! sure thing Such is existence. Definitely. Especially back on Cybertron. A solo operator has to survive by whatever methods are available * Takedown exits his quarters and looks down the hall * Shadowpaw takes up the science console, and begins sorting the data *snort* You sure you know how to work that thing SP? * Takedown transforms to bull mode and wanders off down the corridor * Slipstream wanders over to watch what SP's doing. * Takedown wanders to the docking bay * The lift stops well, this is our floor * Waitstate steps out I shall follow you. alright * Waitstate walks down the hall, then stops at Split's quarters. * Waitstate hits entry chime * Splitwit hears Wait and Life and stops singing come on in. *opens door* * Waitstate enters * Takedown enters the docking bay and goes over to the door Waitstate, Lifeblood. How's it goin'? Good, thanks. Is this a good time? I am well. just as good as any what can I do ya for? * Takedown opens the door to the dock and steps outside into the station I just came by to check up on you. See how you were adjusting to the ship and such * Splitwit leans back in his chair "well, it's a lot better than I expected, quite franky" oh? mind if we take a seat? * motions to a couch * no problem * Waitstate sits * Takedown shuts the door behind him and wanders out into the station *to Slipstream* There's a heap of data here... this could take a while * Lifeblood stands to the side of the couch. so, can I get you anything? Not that I have much thanks, I'm fine :) * Takedown looks around. "Hmmm..." so, you were saying? oh, heh Well, my *pauses, searching for the right words* partner, didn't share my enthusiam about LONAC. So... *to SP* Mhmm. Y'want a hand with it? * Shadowpaw nods and moves out of the way a bit so Slip can help * Takedown turns on his comm Bridge. * Slipstream starts helping SP sort the data stuff. partner? we decided to split up, Me joining LONAC to see if it was worth it or not. Then, sooner or later I'm gonna call her on this little gizmo *displays small pad* and get her to come in. if that's ok with you of course Bridge Here just a good friend of mine. A Targetmaster by the name of Che-Cri ahh... shouldn't be a problem Hi Bridge. Takedown is outside! *Snort* Hahahaha human TM partner? no, a slightly defective Sniper Rifle by the name of Triggerlock * Waitstate laughs I'm sure that's very exciting Takedown. Have a pleasant day. You too! * Takedown shuts his comm off ok. We have provisions for humans on board is all :) they're both pretty nice, just Triggerlock can be a jerk at times. But if you can stand me you should be easy with him ;) * Admiral-Lilwall goes back to his work Hmm. Targetmaster in the binary-bonded sense? Or merely partners? *small slightly nervous laugh* * Takedown chuckles to himself "Takedown outside. hehehe" Binary-bonding between two mechanoids is rare. I have only ever met one such pair, myself. There's too many idiots on board. *looks up at Artifice* Takes one t'know one. *grins* well, at least most of the idiot crew are harmless, Artifice well, from what Che told me they just decided that they would work great together. and belive me, they do. * Crimson exits his quarters and heads for the docking bay Mmm. I don't think they're bonded; gonna have to ask them when they get aboard Idiocy is never harmless *if* they want to come that is *cough* * Shadowpaw grins at Slip * Crimson reaches the docking bay that's about it have you had any problems on board? anything I should know or could help you with? * Takedown opens the door to the bay just in time to come face to face with Crimson well, aside from having a rather rough entry *rubs his back* I think I'll be fine Where you going? Move. Huh? I said move. You stupid, half functioning bucket of bolts. Um, ok. I move. * Takedown steps aside heh, alright then * Takedown sees a blue emblem in Crimson's hand Wait... What is that? so where ya headed now? Not sure yet None of your business! I've been a tad bored lately... * Crimson turns and takes a shot at Takedown * Takedown sidesteps just in time You not friend Crimson. You fool. * Takedown transforms and rams into Crimson, knocking him off his feet Ug!! at any rate, we've taken up enough of your time. I'll see you later :) * Waitstate gets up to leave * Takedown picks up the Crimson by the throat no problem Wait, cya around Until we meet again, Splitwit. * Lifeblood nods. you, er, too Lifeblood *waves* * Waitstate exits *Whispering in a menacing manner* You tell me WHO that belongs to, or I will have yours in my hand very shortly! * Lifeblood exits. * Lifeblood follows Wait. Wha...? Your voice... NO ONE turns their back on me... Who does it belong to!!? So you're interested in binary bonding as well? Deadlift...urk.. * Splitwit goes back to his computer I have a certain degree of interest in it. The technology is, after all, reasonably new. * Takedown sees people closing in. What you do to Deadlift? I noticed you were especially interested in two mechanoids engaging in it... any reason? * Splitwit sighes and exits his room, heading twards no where in peticular Simply because, in my experience, that is less common a pairing. Presumably because the technology originated with Cybertron-Nebulan physiology. It is more readily adapted to mechanoid-orangic pairs. Strangely enough. hm... * Crimson kicks Takedown in the chest and sends him back against the opposing wall * Waitstate walks down the corridor * Takedown quickly shrugs off the blow * Slipstream continues sorting thru the science data with Shadowpaw * Splitwit heads for the airlock, hoping to check out the station * Crimson transforms to car mode and speeds off, leaving the LONAC emblem on the ground * Waitstate stops in front of a small private meeting room and opens the door * Splitwit turns, deciding to check out the plaza Have we arrived? * Misfit becomes decidedly bored and decides to visit the station. * Takedown takes a few shots at Crimson, but quickly loses him in the crowd. heh, I suppose so. * Waitstate motions LB inside * Lifeblood enters. I'll get you back later, traitor. Some Autobot. * Splitwit notices Misfit "Hey Misfit! How are ya?" * Misfit inwardly sighs. Um, hi Splitwit, no time to talk.. * Takedown picks up the sheet of metal and returns to the ship * Takedown storms back in no problem. Cya round * Splitwit continues to head for the station * Misfit heads off to the airlock. [comm] Waitstate, come in. see, actually... I HAVE a binary partner of sorts. Me and Bit initiated a binary link in order to better pool our computational resources hm, hold that thought I am unfamiliar with Bit, I think. As you wish. * Lifeblood waits. [comm] Um... Takedown? Is that you? [Comm] Yes, and we may have a problem. [comm] Has something... happened? [comm] Have you seen Deadlift lately? * Misfit nearly gets plowed over by Takedown [comm] No, not for a while... it's a big ship... Hey! Watch it you. * Splitwit notices a large bot storm past "yikes" [comm] Crimson just made a run for it and tried taking part of Deadlift with him. [comm] what?? [comm] Meet me in the docking bay. *sigh* [comm] Takedown out. I guess we'll have to finish this later * Takedown turns to the other two bots * Splitwit activates his hologenerator, making it appear that he's left the ship As you say. * Waitstate picks up a pad from a wall receptical Shall I investigate the ship further on my own? * Waitstate keys in Bit's vital stats * Misfit looks at Takedown * Splitwit, in reality, turns around and follows Takedown to see what he's up to yeah, do that. You have, as they say, the run of the ship and take a look at this when you have the time, ok? * Waitstate hands LB the pad Uh, Takedown find this...ah, screw it. I got this out of Crimson's hands. What is it...? anyway, I have to get to the docking bay. Something ODD is going on * Takedown holds it out. I shall. I hope you do not encounter too much trouble. And when did someone teach you proper grammar? * Lifeblood takes his pad. Deadlift's LONAC emblem off his chest. Thanks... but dont bet on it Crimony * Waitstate exits into the hall and hurries down to the lift [comm] Deadlift, you there? Docking bay * Takedown tries again * Lifeblood magnetically clamps the pad to his hip and sets off out through the corridors at random. Not good. * The lift hums as it moves * Splitwit hides behind a shuttle * Waitstate exits on to the docking bay that guy does not look friendly... * Waitstate walks across to Takedown and the small crowd around him * Splitwit extends one of his shrapnel blasters "just in case..." * Takedown kicks himself for not seeing Crimson's deceit. What's going on? * Takedown hands Wait the metal Part of Deadlift. Any idea where the rest of him may be? ... none * Splitwit notices Wait and Misfit around the bot and slowly comes out of hiding I tried to contact him on comm and I got nothing. what's goin on here? I'll try a digital line Crimson just shot out the back door. why would he do that? Seems he isn't the sparkly clean Autobot I thought he was. [netcomm] Waitstate to Deadlift *silence* Of course, I wasn't the brain dead fool I made him think I was either. * Splitwit puts his blaster away "So we've got a missing member eh?' hm, nada. Not even a point of presence. He's out of the ship's network range * Misfit looks at Takedown oddly You can say that again. We should check his quarters. Crimson's too. * Lifeblood wanders. probably a good idea mind if I come along? * Takedown transforms to bull mode I'll call in a few bots to help I'll try to sniff him out. sniff him out... *repressed laugh* * Takedown snaps his head around to Wait. "Sumthin funny?" [netcomm] Shadowstrike, Backtrack, please report to the docking bay * Misfit stifles a snicker. * Takedown turns to Misfit * Takedown moves forward heh... er... sorry, caught me off guard Ug, Neutrals.... * Misfit just looks at Takedown I'll check Crimson's room hey Wait, mind if I help? I can be good in a chase... *transforms to car mode* * Waitstate raises his optic ridge er, ok Splitwit.. how are you at tracking? [comm] what's up? * Takedown turns to Splitwit, "IF you can keep up, you can come" [comm] Missing persons report. Deadlift is missing, and it might be foul play. By our new friend Crimson no less yeah, pretty good [comm] on my way. You said Crimson left the ship? * Shadowstrike finishes the process on her computer and leaves her quarters for the lift, and proceeds to the docking bay. He was on the station, doubt he's there now though. * Takedown exits and heads for the lift * Shadowstrike arrives at the docking bay. Hm, if he's on board, the ship's sensors should be able to locate him * Waitstate starts a shipwide scan * Lifeblood peers through various doors. * Takedown gets to Crimson's door just as Backtrack does * Splitwit's engine humms Is he still on the ship somewhere? What is going on? I think Crimson scrapped Deadlift. * Backtrack's optics widen What...did you just say...? * Waitstate refocuses on the physical world. Yeah yeah, I speak normally geez. Ok, ok, gotcha! * Backtrack tries to open the door. * Shadowstrike waits rather impatiently for an answer. It's secured so how's that scan going? Well, break it open. Scan's done. Crimson's not here. I found Deadlift though... Where? We can't just break it open. Wanna bet? great * Takedown slams his fist into the panel * Lifeblood strides down the corridors and between decks, looking for something sciencey. * Door opens See? Well, at least you are still as destructive as before... So why are we- * Backtrack is cut off as he sees Deadlift on the floor * Both bots run in Oh, this is bad... * Deadlift's chest plate is ripped off, there are two giant blast wounds in his abdomen and his head is halfway disconnected from his body. One optic is smashed out Takedown and Backtrack just found him in fact so... *where* is Deadlift? [comm] We found him, Waitstate... [comm] actually, I know already [comm] Crimson's quarters. damn [comm] medical emergency, deck 5 Here we go again. Deadlift, are you still with us? so where's Crimsons quarters? * Takedown checks the wounds Striker, you take Splitwit and look for Crimson. I'm going to see if I can help with Deadlift * Shadowstrike looks at Splitwit. * Backtrack locates DL's chestplate *to Striker* let's roll! He's not on the ship, so he must still be in the station Medical...hrm. Mis and I will find him. * Splitwit speeds towards the airlock and stops, waiting for Strike *distracted* whatever... Computer? What is the current response to the ongoing medical emergency? * Waitstate gets in yet another lift and heads to deck 5 * Backtrack turns to Takedown Do you hear that? *softly* we're not really taking that moron, are we? No registered units currently available. That tone? Yeah... *quietly* hush, let's go. Affirmative, computer. Register Lifeblood heading for Deck 5. Confirmed. * Shadowstrike and Misfit open the airlock and step onto the station. ...computer, advise quickest route to Deck 5. * Backtrack follows the sound to a crate not far from DL's body Holy slag! * Splitwit slowly follows Strike and Misfit in car form *to Crimson's quarters* Medical team is en route That damned freak planted a friggin bomb! Split up? * Takedown runs over to the box No, I don't think that's wise. I may be able to disarm it... * Backtrack opens up the side of the crate *to LB* Follow the indicators. *Lights on the wall begin pointing the way* * Lifeblood follows the computer's instructions to the emergency site. If this one disabled Lifter, he is dangerous indeed. * Splitwit slides into Robot mode "So, where do we start?" Oh, this could make a fairly large boom *Internal comm* Knock-Off, rendevous at my coordinates. I'll work on this, you get Deadlift ready for the med team *Internal comm* Affirmative. so I take it Deadlift is a big bot... this is gonna be a pain Ok * Shadowstrike looks around. "Hm." You may always return to the ship if you like, Splitwit. * Slipstream finishes with the data sorting, and decides to go for a wander round No way! I'm not about to back out of a fight. I know you're not thrilled about being paired with me... Look around for a terminal, we're going to need to schematics to organize a search. * A small shuttle flies off from the station undetected * Splitwit looks around for a terminal * Lifeblood arrives, coincidentally at roughly the same time as Knock-Off. * Waitstate arrives on deck 5, just behind LB but listen, just bear with me... And the bomb is... dead. got it! c'mere The nature of the emergency is fairly self-evident. * Splitwit heads over to Misfit * Shadowstrike moves to where Mis is standing. This is a larger station than I thought. * Takedown looks at Lifeblood * Waitstate enters behind LB, but stays out of the way * Splitwit whistles What's his status? * Shadowstrike checks out the schematics and then looks at Mis and Splitwit. Really? You think so? What gives you that impression? The fact that most of him isn't attached TO THE REST OF HIS BODY!? * Lifeblood motions Knock-Off over to the body, and the drone starts waving various sensory implements. so, how are we gonna go about this? Can you two manage the common areas? no problem... Check all the common areas *points on the image on the terminal screen*. * Slipstream wonders where everyone is If you encounter our perpetrator, radio back. Is he going to make it? * Splitwit flips out one of his shrapnel blasters *to Misfit* "lets go" I'll check the shuttle docking manifests and the lower levels. We'll reconvene here. * Deadlift's fist clenches * Misfit gives Strike a longsuffering glare and storms off behind Splitwit. Readouts indicate the unit retains basic life functions. Spark maintainance equipment stable and holding. Most higher functions, however, are offline. Housekeeping systems do not respond. * Slipstream heads for a terminal and asks the computer where everyone is Does anyone have a suitable transport mode, or shall we carry him to the med bay? * Splitwit glances around the station * Shadowstrike hurries to the lower level of the station, searching carefully room by room. I can carry him * Splitwit and Misfit begin searching * Backtrack transforms to tank mode Rest him on top * Deadlift makes some unrecognizable noises I'll check the logs. maybe I'll find something Hmmm... lot of people there... wonder what's going on... Hang ON! I'm trying to finish some basic preventative measures, here! * Slipstream heads down to Crimson's quarters, curious. ... Damn. nothing. *to Knock-Off* Finish what you're doing, and prepare him for transport. Affirmative. * Knock-Off finishes a few last placeholder repairs and extends upwards to secure Deadlift's remains to the top of Backtrack. Hm... Crimson was effective, but sloppy Ready to go, Backtrack? Yep, let's roll out. * Slipstream arrives just as Backtrack leaves with Deadlift Whoa... what's happening round here? I've got a full security scan logged in here. Video of the crime itself. I'm checking personal logs now [comm to SW and Mis] No sign of him down here. Anything topside? *to Backtrack* What transpired here? [comm] nothing so far nada, boss. Yeah, what happened? From what I can tell, Crimson turned on Deadlift. Then attempted to blow a signifigant chuck out of the ship. This is an unusual occurence, I take it? ... *looks at Lifeblood oddly* * Takedown is still there * Shadowstrike moves to a terminal and with some effort puts in a less than legal block in the station's computer system so that no ship will be allowed to disengage its berth until she removes it. * Waitstate looks up * Slipstream has just arrived there ah, you might find this interesting... To think he had those Autobots fooled too. What is it? a personal log entry * Waitstate plays it back * Lifeblood is on his way to the medbay with Backtrack and the indisposed Deadlift. Oh? * Splitwit continues searching I'm in. They suspect nothing. [comm to Wait] Wait, do you have the capacity to scan the other ships in berth here at the station for Crimson? He may be attempting a departure.. that's all there is * Lifeblood arrives at medbay. however... the timestamp shows that this log was made just after our last encounter with Spectral Death at Station 15 All right, Knock-Off, Backtrack, let's transfer him to a surgical table. Actually it all makes sense... Why he would target Deadlift in particular, I don't know [silent comm] no, but I can lock down the station's docking clamps this is a slagg'n pain * Backtrack pulls up to the table * Lifeblood and Knock-Off transfer Deadlift's body to the table. [comm to Wait] That's already taken care of. * Slipstream is with Wait and Takedown... if anyone's noticed * Backtrack returns to bot mode [silent comm] Give me time... I might be able to get you some scan access Shortly after we left Earth, he insisted on going to the station where we ran across you. ...and Spectral Death. that is... disturbing * Lifeblood begins repair work. and this whole encounter is disturbingly familiar besides I am assuming he kept me around as a strong arm, believing I was nothing more than a fool. [shortband to Wait] Affirmative. Until then, we are at a standstill - he is neither in the common areas nor the restricted zones. But nothing is leaving this station until we've determined he hasn't hitched a ride. Familiar? How? [comm to Strike] orders? a few years ago we had a member named Vanadis. We were never able to prove it, but we think she was a sabotuer of some sort. A bomb was left shortly before she left us. nearly killed me. [comm to SW and Mis] Report back to the Freedom's airlock. He's not ON the station. [comm to Strike] Gotcha [comm to SW and Mis] I'll meet you shortly. [silent comm] Stay on the station. We may need quick action if we find him * Misfit returns to the airlock as ordered. * Splitwit gets back to the airlock as well Housekeeping systems repaired. Proceeding with internal self-diagnostic and damage control systems. So what's next, Wait? [shortband to Wait] We're not leaving. I just don't think it advantageous to be split up in case he IS still here. I... have no idea. I'm going to try and expand our search capabilities though My suggestion is that we contact Prime and see what he knows about Crimson. There is no way Prime and his boys would have been behind this, and that is where Crimson was stationed. good idea. Coordinate with Backtrack. He has ties to the Autobots * Shadowstrike works her way back to the Freedom's airlock. Meanwhile, I have a few things I'd like to try myself. If you all would excuse me? * Splitwit arrives at the airlock at transforms to robot mode Sure. * Backtrack contacts Takedown and tells him to meet him by his quarters * Waitstate takes his leave On my way. Crimony. This is rotten luck, Strike. * Slipstream heads down to the airlock, with nothing better to do... We'll locate him, rest assured. * Waitstate enters his the lift Deck 1 Proceeding to higher memory functions. * Lifeblood pauses. * Takedown and Backtrack meet at the agreed point Waitstate said you have ties to the Autobots? Yeah....so? [comm] Waitstate? *to Strike* so, any plans for now? [comm] yes? * Slipstream arrives at the airlock where Strike and Co are. We need to contact Optimus Prime and see what he knows about his old soldier. I'm going to check the departure manifests. Stay here. right oh * Backtrack nods. "Agreed" [comm] Is your standard procedure to bring consciousness first, even before structural repairs can be completed? * Backtrack and Takedown enter Backtrack's room and radio Earth * Shadowstrike moves back to the original terminal and begins working. [comm] um... do whichever you feel is best for the patient Hey, Slipstream. You missed the excitement. [comm] There is more physical damage to extraneous elements such as locomotive, sensory and manipulative systems than I have the parts at hand to replace. * Splitwit notices Slip "not like there was much..." [comm] Affirmative. Yeah, I noticed. * Splitwit leans against a bulkhead [comm] Do what you can for him. We have a fully equipped stasis system if you need it So there's been no sign of where Crimson went, aye? none at all Yeah, well, ol' Crimson gave us the slip, we think. We've been all over this place and NOTHING! hmm... Strike put some lockdown on the station * Shadowstrike very carefully checks the system, and then double checks it. * Waitstate exits on to deck 1 and heads to his quarters he might have managed t'get out before that... * Shadowstrike curses in a non-standard language. * Backtrack gets a hold of Prime and speaks with him briefly before Prime requests to speak with Waitstate thats a possibility... [comm] Waitstate, you have a call. Maybe we should check t'see what ships left just before the lockdown? * Shadowstrike moves back to the group. We've got a problem. * Splitwit perks up oh?
