** Waitstate changes topic to '-=2000.251=- RP In Progress 
* Diablo watches the spiderbots pile over his old body then leaves his quarters
* Splitwit hangs out in the bar, sipping on a drink
* Trihorn runs around in circles in the plaza
<Waitstate> So Lil... have our businesspeople been responding to the increased business?
* Slipstream heads up to the bridge
<Admiral-Lilwall> certainly have.
<Waitstate> hm?
<Admiral-Lilwall> the only one lacking is Snake-Eyes. She says she's going to remain closed for a week until she has enough stock to last her more than an hour or so
<Waitstate> that's too bad... she's the only one that's actually selling products other than food and entertainment
* Diablo walks into the plaza and transforms to dragon mode
<Admiral-Lilwall> yeah
* Slipstream enters the bridge. "Heya Wait, Lil."
<Artifice> Ruse has a few goodies
<Admiral-Lilwall> Good morning Slipstream
<Waitstate> heya Slip
<Waitstate> How're you this fine day? heh
<Slipstream> Not too bad. The crowds still in the plaza?
<Admiral-Lilwall> Nope. we're closed at the moment
* Gate_Crasher wakes up once more, wondering out of his hotel and through the space station
<Slipstream> oh, goood. 
<Waitstate> We're considering another day open
* Diablo stretches his wings and sticks his head into the bar. "BOO!!!"
<Slipstream> remind me t'stay away from the Plaza then. 
<Waitstate> Though Snake-Eyes is staying closed for a while, regardless
<Admiral-Lilwall> perhaps we should wait until we reach the next station. then everyone, not just Snake-Eyes, has time to be fully prepared
<Slipstream> that wouldn't be a bad idea
* Splitwit spins around to see the dragon "What in the name of Primus?"
<Diablo> Hahahahaha
<Waitstate> Maybe one last day... I think we can bring in just a bit more. And Cuffs reported a few people interested in joining.
<Splitwit> Oh, Diablo. New look for ya
<Admiral-Lilwall> Just one unfortunatly
* Splitwit relaxes a bit
<Waitstate> is that all? drat, I must have misunderstood
<Admiral-Lilwall> Some bot named Patchwork, you've got a meeting with him a little while from now
* Diablo transforms back to bot mode. "Yeah sure is, and I'm loving it"
<Splitwit> glad I couuld help; no spiderbots?
<Waitstate> oh, I do? heh... I haven't checked my schedule today yet
<Diablo> Nope. Scarab's around here somewhere though
* Patchwork stalks up to the LSS Freedom, looking up at it
<Splitwit> heh, think I'm getting used t'those guys
* Ghost-Stalker walks over to the brig area*
* Splitwit quickly looks over Diab "Isn't it a bit strange not being a car?"
<Slipstream> y'actually have a schedule? miracle. ;)
* Diablo transforms again, into hovercar mode. "Not at all. Just like my original form too"
<Splitwit> triple changer, nice
<Admiral-Lilwall> keeping to it is another matter, Slipstream
* Splitwit takes a gulp "Glad you like it"
<Slipstream> ah, of course
* Waitstate laughs
<Waitstate> You should hear Overwrite get on me about it
<Slipstream> ... I think I'll skip that experience, thanks.
<Waitstate> heh
* Patchwork notices the Freedom is closed, so sits outside and watches a t.v in his wrist
* Splitwit finishes his drink and walks out the bar past Diab "later man"
<Diablo> Yeah I've gotta go too, I've got stuff to do. See ya around
* Splitwit transforms to car mode and zooms out of the plaza
<Slipstream> so what's on the supposed schedule t'day, anyway?
* Diablo leaves the plaza and heads for the bridge
<Waitstate> that meeting of course
<Waitstate> And now that Diablo is in his new body, he may have some business to attend to...
<Slipstream> that sounds ominous, hehe
* Splitwit reaches the airlock and tries to open it, but finds it locked "damn"
<Waitstate> for a certain brig occupant, that's right
<Slipstream> heh. Lucky brig occupant
<Waitstate> lucky? heh... not the word I'd use
<Admiral-Lilwall> lucky for us if anything.
<Splitwit> I have the worst luck with doors these days...
<Waitstate> one less of those scum in the universe...
* Splitwit sighs and walks away from the airlock
* Ghost-Stalker enters the brig area and looks if anyone is around
<Slipstream> heh, the less scum in the universe, the better
* Diablo arrives out the front of the bridge and waits for the computer to tell him to go away
<Computer> Diablo requests bridge entry
<Waitstate> eh, let him in. I'm bored ;)
* Cuffs, in his office, observes Ghost-Stalker via the security cameras
<Slipstream> bored? Poor diddums...
* Diablo enters the bridge
<Waitstate> yes, yes
<Waitstate> Morning Diablo. How's the new bod?
<Diablo> Hi Wait. Body's going fine
<Waitstate> What'd you need? :)
<Diablo> I think that we've got something to discuss
* Splitwit wanders the halls, looking for somthing to do
<Diablo> like, try getting info then slag him, or just slag him
<Admiral-Lilwall> I someohw doubt he'll give us any info
<Waitstate> aha...
<Waitstate> I'm all for torturing him anyway though
<Admiral-Lilwall> hah. you know what happens in the movies when they do that
<Admiral-Lilwall> they get away and we regret it later. slag 'im
* Splitwit hums to himself "transformers... da da da da daa..."
<Waitstate> you make a good point
<Slipstream> but we ain't in a movie. still, prob'ly better safe than sorry
<Diablo> Doesn't bother me, either way I still get to use these *lightning claws spark a bit*
<Waitstate> those look nasty... I approve
<Slipstream> neat.
* Ghost-stalker sees the camera, ignores it and continues looking around
* Splitwit activates his jet booster out of boredom, and drifts down the hallway
<Waitstate> So... what are your plans?
<Slipstream> apart from rippin' our 'guest' into li'l pieces with extreme prejudice? ;)
<Diablo> Hurt him. A lot. Then maybe let Ghost have fun with the Neural Shredder
* MaximusPrime is in vehicle mode
<Diablo> Don't want to keep him waiting, I'll be around. *Walks off the bridge and heads for where Hellfire is being held*
<Waitstate> I hope he waits... I want to watch
<Slipstream> shall we go down there then?
* Splitwit heads back to the airlock to wait for it to open
* Waitstate hears a beeping from his console
<Waitstate> actually, that meeting is supposed to start in a few minutes
<Admiral-Lilwall> the bot's application is already waiting on the conference table next door
* Ghost-stalker takes the Neural Shredder out from subspace, still ignoring the camera
<Waitstate> thanks... do we have any contact info on him? We should send an escort
* Splitwit heads back to his room
<Slipstream> I'll go, if y'want
<Admiral-Lilwall> he's staying at a hotel on the station, though I assume he's already near the ship
<Aries> one moment and I'll scan for cybertronians
<Aries> yes, there appears to be a seeker style transformers near the lower airlock, where customers have been allowed entrance the last few days
<Waitstate> probably him...
<Waitstate> alright Slip... go find him. I'll be in the conference room reviewing our data
* Diablo spots Ghost-Stalker as he walks into the brig area. "Thinking you could get rid of him before I got here, were you?"
* Cuffs and Hitchhike enter the brig also
<Cuffs> there will be no unauthorsied activity here.
* Waitstate exits for the conference room. "You have the bridge, Lil"
<Admiral-Lilwall> Yay
<Ghost-Stalker> I could have
<Diablo> Oh, there will be activity here. Open Hellfire's cell
<Hitchhike> Diablo has clearance. You do not.
* Hitchhike and Cuffs have their weapons drawn as a precaution
* Cuffs enters a code and the cell field deactivates
* Patchwork laughs as the coyote falls for the umpteenth time off a cliff on his monitor
* Hellfire laughs from his cell "You really think you'll be able to get rid of me? You're wrong"
* Slipstream heads for the airlock
* Hellfire takes out an axe from subspace
* Cuffs and Hitchhike keep their weapons trained on Hellfire
* Ghost-Stalker has her neural shredder ready
* Slipstream gets to the airlock, opens it and sees the bot sitting outside.
<Slipstream> Heya. You here t'join LONAC?
* Diablo approaches Hellfire and begins to attack with his lightning claws
* Patchwork stands up, turing off his t.v and nodding slowly
* Hellfire swings his axe several times while dodging. "Not even your new body will help you"
<Slipstream> Neato. Come with me, Wait'll see ya now.
* Slipstream heads back up to the bridge, with Patch following
* Patchwork nods again, walking slowly behind Slipstream, the only sound is his rusty joints moving
* Diablo takes his sword and lunges at Hellfire. "I reckon it will, and so will this"
* Slipstream leads Patch to the conference room, and gestures him in.
<Slipstream> Here y'go, Wait.
* Hellfire doesn't move in time and gets a large slash on his side
<Waitstate> ah, good, Slip... and you must be, ah *checks his pad* Patchwork :)
* Waitstate reaches out to shake hands
* Patchwork shakes Wait's hand, slowly saying "....people call me Patches"
<Waitstate> Patches then... welcome to the LSS Freedom. Well, again I guess. You've been to our Plaza, as I understand it :)
* Diablo hits the axe away and grabs Hellfire, with his lightning claws going into his side. "Time to take this elsewhere"
* Waitstate motions him to sit
* Patchwork looks at the seat for a second, then sits down
* Waitstate sits as well
<Waitstate> So... you want to join LONAC, eh?
<Hellfire> *unable to move and in pain* Is that so?
* Patchwork nods "I would like to, if you will have me"
<Waitstate> What brings you to us and why do you want to join?
<Waitstate> Standard question :)
* Hellfire manages to move slightly and gets one of his back spikes lodged into Diablo's chest
* Ghost-stalker tries to shoot, but can't get a perfect aim
* Patchwork shrugs "I've been at this station for a while now....and I'm tired of it. I want to fight again. I don't enjoy the Decepticons company anymore, and the autobots all wouldn't have me, so I've floated around for years. your organization seems to make sense
<Waitstate> well, you do understand that fighting isn't one of our goals I hope.
* Diablo breaks off the spike and pushes Hellfire into a wall
* Patchwork nods "I can understand peace is your goal"
<Waitstate> We do, unfortunately, have enemies... a capable fighter would have combat at times.
* Hellfire grabs his axe and stands up
* Diablo fires his plasma cannons at Hellfire and hits him and the wall
* Waitstate checks his pad
* Patchwork looks around the room
<Waitstate> It says here you spent some time on Junk. I can, erm, see it left its mark on you... tell me about that.
* Hellfire slowly gets stands up again. "You have a lousy aim, Diablo"
* Hellfire fires his own cannons at Diablo, which hit him
* Cuffs and Hitchhike mov to fire on Hellfire, but Diablo remains in the way
* Admiral-Lilwall monitors the weapons fire from the tactical station
* Diablo watches Hellfire move away, and transforms to dragon mode and gives chase
* Slipstream enters the bridge
* Patchwork nods "As a seeker for the cons, I didn't always see eye to eye with my commander, Shockwave. He sent me and two other seekers to deal with the bounty Hunter Defcon. We were not sucessful. The junkions found most of the parts of the other two, but I was mostly intact, so they just added on."
<Admiral-Lilwall> Lightning, find Recoil and get down there. We shouldn't take any chances
<Slipstream> Hellfire causing trouble, aye Lil?
<Lightning> rr, must that oversized fool join me?
<Waitstate> ahh
<Admiral-Lilwall> Yes he must. Now get going. 
* Hellfire dodges Diablo's acid and fire breath attacks as he continues on
<Admiral-Lilwall> I hope not Slipstream
<Waitstate> Says you got a bit of Junkion programming from the experience
* Lightning scowls and heads out
<Slipstream> Think I'll pop down there, just in case
* Artifice sits back in his chair
<Cuffs> Brig to Bridge
* Slipstream follows Lightning out
* Artifice pulls out a sword and begins to polish it
<Admiral-Lilwall> go ahead Cuffs
* Diablo gets closer and jumps onto Hellfire, lightning claws going straight into his back
* Recoil sits in his quarters, arranging his crystal figurines
* Patchwork nods speaking in a higher tone "Yes sir! No money down risk-free obligation to danger, will robinson!"
<Cuffs> [com] Hellfire has escaped the brig. We are in pursuit
* Hellfire slides along the ground with diablo on top
<Artifice> Suppose I should join the battle?
<Admiral-Lilwall> Understood. 
* Patchwork sigh and shakes his head, his voice normal again "Unfortunatley, yes, I did get some retooling
* Ghost-Stalker follows them
<Waitstate> well, luckily, we have experience with Junkions... you shouldn't get any trouble from that
<Admiral-Lilwall> go for it
* Slipstream arrives at the brig and quickly steps back as Diablo and Hellfire slide by
* Artifice makes a yawning motion
<Artifice> Should be over shortly
* Patchwork nods, obviously more relaxed
* Artifice leaves the bridge
<Diablo> Not as easy as you thought, was it Hellfire?
<Admiral-Lilwall> *shipwide com* All crew be advised, we have a hostile on board, be on guard.
* Admiral-Lilwall puts the ship on alert
<Artifice> Computer, locate Hellfire
* Waitstate looks up at the sound of it
<Waitstate> hm, that isn't good...
* Cuffs and Hitchhike wait for a clear shot on Hellfire
* Slipstream draws her weapons and waits as well
* Patchwork stands up, looking around "Someone leave the oven on?"
* Diablo picks the still sliding Hellfire off the ground and flies into the shuttle bay
* Lightning arrives at Recoil's quarters and presses the buzzer repeatedly
<Cuffs> follow them!
<Recoil> Come in
* Cuffs and Hitchhike transform and follow
* Slipstream chases after Diablo
* Artifice makes haste to the shuttle bay
* Hellfire switches his axe to flame mode and swings at Diablo's underside, dealing a lot of damage
<Lightning> Duty calls, follow me
<Aries> why couldn't he just slag him?
* Diablo crashes to the ground, landing on Hellfire
<Admiral-Lilwall> Hah. It wouldn't be Diablo would it, keep on the tactical, if he escapes with a shuttle, shoot him down.
* Recoil reactivates the restraining field on his figures and leaves
<Slipstream> ooh, that's gotta hurt...
<Aries> got it.
* Patchwork looks at Waitstate "So am I in?"
* Download closes the bar in case the hostil passes through the area
<Diablo> You'll regret doing that Hellfire. *fires an acid breath attack at hellfire's chest*
<Waitstate> well, your background info checks out...
* Waitstate stands
<Waitstate> Welcome to LONAC :)
* Slipstream waits again to get a clear shot...
* Patchwork snaps to attention, changing gears fast
<Waitstate> no, no need for that. We're informal here :)
<Hellfire> arrrrrgh *Throws his axe at Diablo's neck, which gets lodged in it*
* Cuffs and Hitchhike return to robot form, ready to fire is need be
* Lightning and Recoil arrive
* Artifice arrives just behind them
* Diablo jumps back, grabs the axe out of his neck and throws it into a wall
* Cuffs sees the clear shot
* Patchwork looks confused a bit, then laughs and shakes Wait's hand "Now. I heard alarms sounding, and that means a fight"
<Cuffs> Diablo, stay back
* Ghost-Stalker jumps onto a shuttle and readies the shredder
* Hellfire rolls to his side and gets up
* Slipstream takes a shot at Hellfire
<Waitstate> Indeed it does. I should get to the bridge. *taps some keys* follow the lights to a waiting lounge, if you wouldn't mind?
<Cuffs> Open fire!
<Slipstream> way ahead of ya there!
* Artifice fires
* Recoil launches a heavy missile
* Hellfire jumps out of the way and fires with his cannons
* Patchwork slumps "awww, no fight?...okay" and looks for the lights
<Waitstate> sorry... pardon me
* Slipstream ducks a shot from Hellfire and returns fire
* Waitstate exits into the bridge
* Diablo dives at Hellfire again
<Waitstate> What's going on?
* Hitchhike takes the hit in a leg and falls
* Artifice fires his shoulder rockets
* Cuffs and Lightning continue to fire
<Cuffs> hold fire! we'll hit Diablo
<Artifice> Heh, might do us some good 
<Slipstream> dammit! *stops firing*
<Lightning> agreed
* Artifice folds his arms
* Diablo moves his tail in the way of the shots
* Recoil TFs to tank mode and starts to track Hellfire, hoping to get a clean lock
* Patchwork follows the lights, sitting in the waiting lounge
* Hellfire watches the tail get damaged and jumps at Diablo's neck
<Recoil> Lock!
* Hitchhike returns to her feet
* Recoil fires a laser pulse and catches Hellfire's shoulder
* Hellfire falls to the ground
* Recoil transforms and brings his launchers to bear
* Diablo takes a bite at Hellfire and grabs him
<Recoil> Damnit, get out of the way!
<Ghost-Stalker>What the slag is he doing?
<Cuffs> Take him down Diablo, this must be stopped!
* Hellfire gets his sides crushed by from the force of Diablo's jaws
<Slipstream> heh, 'bout time...
* Admiral-Lilwall notes Wait back on the bridge
* Diablo throws him into the bay doors and readys his cannons
<Artifice> Perhaps we should just take them both down
<Artifice> and sort them out later
<Lightning> suits me fine
* Artifice fires all shoulder rockets at Diablo and Hellfire
<Recoil> It does?
* Slipstream opens fire on Hellfire again
<Diablo> Open the doors. I'm scattering his parts out there
<Recoil> Stop that!
<Recoil> He's one of ours!
<Artifice> heh
* Artifice shrugs
* Diablo gets hit by Artifice's rockets
<Cuffs> we don't fire on our own troops!
* Diablo sends a flame attack his way
* Artifice jumps to the side
<Artifice> Toucheee
<Diablo> Open the damned doors
<Hitchhike> [com] Bridge, open the bay doors!
<Waitstate> [comm] why?
<Cuffs> [com] do it!
<Waitstate> [comm] I want Hellfire's body here. I want to make sure he's totally destroyed.
* Hellfire is unable to get up
<Artifice> Can't argue with the boss
<Diablo> [comm] then watch him get his parts scattered on the view screen
* Diablo approaches Hellfire
* Waitstate stubbornly keeps the doors closed
<Diablo> Bah, I'll make my own door then
* Hellfire's cannons fall off
<Waitstate> Damnit!
<Admiral-Lilwall> someone's gonna be doing brig time again
<Ruse> [comm to Waitstate] Wanna go with my plan and just blast them both?
<Diablo> [comm] I'm sure he'd probably have some sort of explosives inside him to make sure he leaves a bang when destroyed
<Diablo> [comm] if that's true you'll have a big mess to clean up down here
* Diablo tears an arm off and throws it at the others
* Slipstream ducks the arm
<Waitstate> [comm] it's sounding appealing. I don't want to take any chances of him surviving
* Hellfire laughs
<Slipstream> [comm] *dryly* Who, diabie or hellfire?
<Waitstate> [comm] Funny
<Hellfire> [in pain] start selfdestruct sequence. 30 second silent countdown
* Hellfire starts laughing again
* Artifice sticks his sword in the floor and sits down
<Waitstate> oh sure, Diablo delays, and lets Hellfire blow himself up
* Waitstate sighs
* Diablo shoots a chunk out of the door and flies out with Hellfire
<Admiral-Lilwall> Doesn't want him dead much eh
<Waitstate> Emergency evacuation in the shuttlebay
<Aries> don't bother
<Waitstate> wha?
<Aries> the delaying dragon just opened a hole in the bay
<Slipstream> [comm] Diabie just made his exit
<Hellfire> Hahaha, see you in the Pit
<Waitstate> damn him!
<Waitstate> get a tractor lock on them both!
* Diablo gets a safe distance away from the ship, drops hims and fires
<Aries> can't, too far away. only seconds before the boom
* Slipstream switches to vehicle mode and flies just outside of the ship, ready for anything
* Hellfire explodes. very violently. parts fly
<Waitstate> and docked, we can't maneouver. wonderful
<Waitstate> scan for life-signs in the debris
* Diablo gets thrown from the force of the blast
<Admiral-Lilwall> You can bet the station is going to ask us to leave now
* Slipstream dodges a flying piece
<Aries> Diablo is out there
<Aries> and the station is contacting us...
<Waitstate> any sign of Hellfire surviving?
<Aries> none
* Slipstream flies over to Diabie
* Diablo transforms to bot mode painfully
<Slipstream> y'okay there Diab?
<Waitstate> just to be safe, launch a torpedo into the area as soon as Diablo is clear
<Diablo> Heh, not really
<Slipstream> silly question. 
<Slipstream> grab on and I'll get ya back to the ship
* Diablo grabs hold. "Thanks"
<Slipstream> No prob.
* Slipstream tows Diablo back into the Freedom

<Aries> [com] bridge to Artifice
* Waitstate sighs
<Waitstate> is the station still holding?
<Aries> yes
* Diablo wonders how long it'll be before he gets to live in the brig again for a while
<Waitstate> put them through
* Aries does so
* Diablo walks over to where Hellfire's axe is stuck in a wall and pulls it out
<Slipstream> nice axe
<annoyed station guy> such business is not taken well here
<Diablo> nasty piece of equipment *looks to the missing chunk of armour*
<Slipstream> Axes usually are
<annoyed station guy> you can either leave peacefully or the station's weaponary will force you away *ends transmission*
<Waitstate> My apologies sir. A situation on board got out of control, but we have things-
<Waitstate> great
<Waitstate> is everyone on board?
<Aries> station's weapons are powered. they've given us one minute to decide
<Aries> all crew are accounted for
<Waitstate> *sigh* Very well... disengage docking clamps and prepare to leave
* Artifice arrives on the bridge
<Aries> space stations don't seem to like us much
<Slipstream> doing something about that hole might be a good idea...
<Admiral-Lilwall> At least we didn't get this one blown up
<Waitstate> *pissed* Every time we have anything to do with those Cult slagmakers... *ARGH!*
<Diablo> Think it'll be good if I just stay in my quarters a while and do nothing *heads off*
<Slipstream> hehe
* Slipstream heads for the bridge
<Waitstate> This can't go on
* Slipstream arrives at the bridge and leans against the wall
<Artifice> Now now, I thought you would have been used to this by now
<Artifice> heh
<Waitstate> USED to it?!
<Admiral-Lilwall> We can't really do much about it. they seem to vanish from existance after every meeting
<Artifice> Don't blow a gasket, I'm with you
* Chameleon wakes up from recharge cycle, steps out of his quarters and looks along the corridor. "Looks like someone had a fun time"
<Waitstate> I don't know how, but they'll suffer for what they've cost us.
<Slipstream> heh, just gotta find out how, aye?
<Waitstate> *glare*
* Slipstream grins
* Chameleon walks down the corridor following the various acid and flame marks
<Waitstate> plot a course to our next destination and engage. hopefully, this place won't blacklist us or something
<Slipstream> we're running outta stations t'visit. ;)
<Artifice> It's all we can do really
<Slipstream> what, get blacklisted?
<Artifice> Hop from one station to another and let prisoners escape
<Artifice> So much for neutrality
<Waitstate> I wanted him destroyed, irreversably. 
<Slipstream> least we managed that
<Slipstream> hopefully...
<Waitstate> I hope so. We'll never know for sure.
<Admiral-Lilwall> could have been much faster, and with much less damaging results if Diablo didn't play with his food first
<Slipstream> *shrugs* bit late now, ain't it
<Admiral-Lilwall> yup. at least the list of casualties was down this time
* Waitstate sits, brooding and quiet
<Slipstream> mmhmm. only one who really got hurt was Diabie. And Hitchhike, but she should be okay
* Chameleon steps into the shuttlebay, and walks straight out. "Someone definitley had fun in there"
<Chameleon> [comm] Hey. Uh....why didn't anyone tell me about the party?
* Diablo sits and stares at his old body
<Diablo> Hate to think what would have happened if I was still in that
* Patchwork falls asleep in the waiting lounge, drool runing over his mouth cover...
* Scarab pops out of a vent on the bridge
* Waitstate jumps, startled
<Artifice> Yuck
* Artifice walks over to step on it
* Scarab beeps and scuttles away
<Artifice> darn
* Slipstream picks up Scarab
<Slipstream> cute li'l buggy thing, hehe
* Scarab beeps again and climbs onto Slip's shoulder
<Slipstream> hehe!
<Waitstate> heh...
<Waitstate> those things are always underfoot...
<Artifice> Don't move Slip
* Artifice picks up a data pad
* Artifice walks over to Slipstream and lifts the datapad into the air
* Scarab jumps at Artifice's head
<Artifice> aah!
<Artifice> Get it off!
* Scarab beeps and latches on
* Artifice pulls at it
<Waitstate> Scarab, get off him NOW
<Slipstream> hey now...
* Slipstream gently pries scarab off
<Artifice> I never really liked bugs
<Slipstream> c'mere, buggy
<Slipstream> I noticed. ;)
* Scarab beeps friendly again
<Waitstate> Slipstream, take him out of here. I don't think he's helping.
<Slipstream> okie then
* Slipstream leaves the bridge and heads for Diabie's quarters
* Slipstream knocks at Diabie's door, Scarab perched on her shoulder
<Diablo> It's open, come in
* Diablo hopes it isn't Wait at the door
* Slipstream comes in
<Slipstream> heya Diabie, just bringing Scarab back. Artifice was gonna squash him, hehe
<Diablo> Hey Slip
* Slipstream hands Scarab over to Diab
<Diablo> Hehe, thanks. Should let this lot of spiderbots loose and see what he'd do then ;) *points to the spiderbots*
<Slipstream> heh! He'd prob'ly go ballistic.
<Slipstream> It'd be something t'see, wouldn't it... *grins*
<Diablo> Sure would, though I don't think I'll be trying it anytime soon
<Slipstream> not till y'ain't in Wait's bad books anymore, aye?
<Diablo> Yeah, It'll be a while before that happens, I'd think
<Slipstream> hehe, no argument there.
<Diablo> So, you know what's going to be happening now?
<Slipstream> *shrugs* Haven't got the foggiest
* Diablo watches Scarab climb onto the ceiling
<Slipstream> cute bug, that
<Diablo> Thanks. Hasn't fallen apart yet so I must have done a good job when I made him
<Slipstream> heh, must've. ;)
<Diablo> You want one?
<Slipstream> sure :)
<Slipstream> hehe, something t'tease Artifice and Split with. ;)
<Diablo> Hahaha. Any particular colours or stuff that you want for it?
<Slipstream> hmm... blue black'n'silver for colours...
<Slipstream> as for other stuff, whatever you think'd be best.
<Diablo> Ok then. I could probably have one done up in a while for you :)
<Slipstream> thanx Diabie. :)
<Diablo> Not a problem Slip
* Diablo grabs an unused spiderbot and a bunch of parts
<Diablo> Hehe, someone's going to have to go nuts soon about the increase in number of these guys
<Slipstream> hehe, three guesses as to who's gonna lose it first. ;)
* Diablo laughs
<Slipstream> and the first two don't count. ;)
<Diablo> hey, thats not fair, hehehe ;)
<Diablo> Got any ideas bout a name for this yet?
<Slipstream> Not yet. Any suggestions?
<Diablo> Can't think of anything yet
<Slipstream> hang on a sec... how's Scrabble sound? *grin*
<Diablo> hey, that could work
<Slipstream> thought it might. Scrabble it is then, aye?
<Diablo> Yep, sure is
* Diablo adds armoured bits to Scrabble
* Diablo gives Scrabble the right colouring, then makes sure everything is right
<Diablo> There, Scrabble is complete
<Slipstream> Neato, thanx!
<Diablo> No problem :)
<Slipstream> Hehe, cute li'l bug. *grins* Mebbe I should go show Artifice. ;)
* Scarab jumps down from the ceiling
<Diablo> Hehehe
<Diablo> I'm sure he'd just love that
<Slipstream> I'll bet. ;)
<Slipstream> anyhoo, I'd best be off.
<Slipstream> Thanks again for Scrabble, Diabie. :)
<Diablo> No problem, thanks for dropping Scarab off
<Diablo> See ya :)
