* Maximum-Magnum storms down the hall towards the brig * Sunspot is sittin' in the Observation Deck. * Patchwork sits in the observation deck quietly, updating his starcharts * Mystery sits in SP's quarters and swings his legs, looking around for something to do * Diablo is in his quarters * Maximum-Magnum stops in front of the door, waits for it to open, and barges in. * Sunspot plays with Moonstone. Come to see the prisoner? * Patchwork looks around "way to quiet a day...." * Maximum-Magnum ignores Recoil and stops in front of Bentnose's cell Guess so. *Goes back to playing Solitare* * Bentnose looks up, "Evening." * Arashi sits around in the rec area I suppose you're here to explain to me how much trouble I'm in, no? * Sunspot sits up and looks at Patches' stuff. "Whatcha doin'? You know what I'm here for. * Bentnose leans back on the single bunk. Ah, yes. The seekers.... I already told you about your friend Fuse, now shoo, I'm trying to relax. I thought you only did one contract at a time? * Slipstream is at one of the bridge stations, downloading some stuff. Hm? *closes eyes and leans back* Normally, yes. But, when Soviet asked me to give them a little information-- You decided it would be to your benefit to get info for me at the same time as working another contract for them. Updating my starcharts. I never did so when I was reactivated on Junk * Panelbeater exits the theatre, toolkit in hand, and heads back to the main engineering room Ohhhhhh... * Bentnose opens one eye and smiles "Very perspective, Maximum." * Mystery sees the door leaving SP's quarters and decides there must be something better to do, somewhere else And my contract? * Slipstream does some more searches on the hypernet and downloads more stuff, then starts going through it all Oh, you only /requested/. I signed no contract. Next time, be a little more consise. * Patchwork looks at Moonstone, then does a doubletake "what is that?" * Panelbeater enters the reaches the end of the plaza and waits for the lift to arrive You will complete the contract. * Bentnose sighs He's my dragon! Tough as a lime, Magnum. You know me all to well. I built him. * Bentnose taps the energy bars and is rewarded with a little shock "Of course, there's no way I can finish while locked up here." * Panelbeater enters the lift, with Hitchhike already inside Hmm... this ain't right... * Maximum-Magnum backs away a little "I'm not going to spring you." Don't tell me this place needs fixing already? You've changed. A year ago, you wouldn't have hesitated to kill everyone in the area and drag me out of here. * Mystery gets up and leaves the room, wandering around aimlessly, looking for something to do Ohhh... sorry I'll talk to the captain. * Slipstream slows the vid she was watching and examines it closely * Patchwork walks up to Moon and pokes him in the head In the meantime, I trust you'll be comfy. Heh, hardly so. Just detailing. Computer, main engineering deck. *lift proceeds* * Maximum-Magnum heads for the door. *Moonstone chirps surprisedly and sniffs at Patches' hand. Ciao, Mr. Magnum. *grins in amusment*. *mutters* this ain't right in any way... damnit... You can pet him, he's friendly. The work crew for the refit did some extra sculpting to the theatre's walls, just returned it all to the norm * Maximum-Magnum pauses before leaving, "And you're not forgiven for shooting me in the back" and heads out. Ah. Anytihng good playing this week? Nothing playing at all. No one has made a booking since the relaunch. * Diablo watches Scarab fall from the ceiling * Thrashmane slinks into the OB Lounge in cat mode Hm, might have to make one myself sometime. *lift stops* Evening! Kitty! Hiya Sunny! ^_^ *Moonstone chirps at Thrash. My stop, cya round Bye Who's this? *Twilight is sitting in a back corner of the bar, doing not much* So, Recoil was it? When's feeding time? * Patchwork strokes Moon's head * Slipstream goes through all the vids she's downloaded and examines them minutely. * Panelbeater evenutally reaches his level and starts his walk * Bentnose looks over at his weapons stored behind another shield, on the far side of the brig "It's always cliche` how the prisoner's weapons are held no more than twenty feet from him... heh." This is Moonstone! * Thrashmane lays down next to Sunspot * Sunspot pets Thrashy. At least it's quiet on this deck. Though a little too quiet for my liking. * Thrashmane kittypurrs ^^ *mutters to herself* wrong, wrong, wrong wrong -wrong-! I can't believe it... * Panelbeater reaches his console and looks over the refit crew's reports, looking for anything else that requires a touch up * Patchwork goes back to making his starcharts So what have you been up to, kitty? * Bentnose makes more amusing snide comments about the brig. * Diablo grabs Scarab off the floor and leaves his quarters Nothing really, ya self? * Recoil looks up at the prisoner The power packs and ammo are locked up somewhere else entirely, idiot. * Panelbeater is now known as Cuffs I appreciate the repairs you gave me, but to throw me in a luxurious little hotel like this... too kind of you! I've been teaching Moonstone tricks. What kind of tricks? * Sunspot pulls out a little bit of energon. * Thrashmane watches with intrest I can't believe nobody's noticed all this before... *frowns and rewinds one of the vids, then watches it again* * Sunspot holds it over Moonstone's lil' dragon head. The Captain's too nice to prisoners. Figures some of 'em might be innocent or something. *Moonstone does a backflip. Well, I -did- attack one of your crewmembers and give vital information to the enemy. Yay! * Sunspot gives the energon to the dragon. What's fair is fair, I suppose. Heh, cute. :) * Cuffs sits in his office planning a long list of updates for the already top of the line internal defenses the ship has to offer, while periodically looking up at the monitors above him to observe the brig If it wasn't for your friend the captain probably would have dumped you on the nearest asteroid with no fuel, so shut your smartass trap I got the hint, Mr. Missiles. By an order of magnitude. doesn't mean I like you any better. What a charming personality, I'm sure you're popular with the ladies. [comm] Cuffs to commander Waitstate, Sounds like you spend too much time with the humans. Rot your processor out. * Slipstream sighs and leans back in her chair, watching the vid replay itself [comm] Yes Cuffs? Something wrong with the prisoner? *chuckles* [comm] No sir. May I ask what the ship's next stop will be? I wish to acquire extra tri-linear distribution nodes for my systems upgrade Well, by telling me to stay here and rot away, I suppose you must want me here? Why, I've never been so touched in my life! Idiot. "Recoil and Bentnose, The tale of two friends and the one that got away." * Sunspot pats the kitty and sighs. * Recoil ponders the modelock controls briefly, then goes back to his game * Patchwork leaves as quietly as he entered, heading to the airlock I can see this is the start of a beautiful friendship, Recoil. * Bentnose grins beneath his mouthplate and relaxes on the hard steel bunk. * Diablo wanders into the plaza * Patchwork radios the bridge *Patchwork to bridge* [COMM] yeah Patch? Wait here *A ship, slightly larger than a shuttle, drops out of warp not to far from the Freedom and moves towards it, broadcasting friendly signals* * Thrashmane yawns and stretches Hey, kitty, you wanna go down to the plaza? Sure. * Slipstream picks up the friendly shuttle signals Okay! * Sunspot picks up Moonstone and heads out the door. * Thrashmane follows in lion mode <`Patchwork> *comm* open the airlock, woulda sir? I'd like to stretch my engines....I need to test certain modifications [COMM to Cuffs] I don't know yet. Dont we have any in storage? [comm to shuttle] Freedom here, identify yourselves please [comm] I don't believe so, sir. May I be informed when a destination is chosen? [COMM to Patch] Try the flight deck. I'll clear you to depart [Shuttle] This is Anchor's Apartment, IRN 833453. *comm* Roj that, commander [COMM to Cuffs] I'll let you know. Meanwhile, try comming the engineering staff. We have one now you know ;) *shuttle slows a bit* * Patchwork walks torwards the flight deck [Shuttle] *small explosion in backround* Argh... put that down!! * Sunspot looks around the plaza. "Where you wanna go?" [Shuttle] Er, requesting docking clearance... [comm] Cuffs to main engineering, wow, my first call *comm* in the flight deck, sir. * Thrashmane and Sunny get to the Plaza. [comm] Engineering here, * Bentnose scratches himself with his only arm [comm to shuttle] Please hold a moment [COMM to Patch] Hold on Patch, we seem to have a visitor outside [comm] Are you aware of any spare tri-linear distribution nodes? *Comm to Wait* Unwelcome visitor? *to Wait* Yo grey one, we've got a shuttle here requesting docking clearance. Signiture's friendly, scans show nothing unusual. So where ya wanna go, Thrashy? [COMM to Patch] Unknown I dunno, where do YOU wanna go? [comm] Not as far as I know, I think Sunspot and I used the last one yesterday. can we get an ID on the pilot? [comm] Thank you, Cuffs out. There're always people at the bar. We could see who's there. Sounds good to me. * Thrashmane walks into the bar--avoiding a moody Magnum--and takes a seat at a table * Sunspot goes to the bar. Not the pilot but the shuttle itself has an id of IRN 833453, if that means anything t'ya. :) * Diablo leaves the plaza *Comm to Wait* where are they landing? Doesn't sound familiar hail 'em, let's see if we can get them on screen [COMM to Patch] Nowhere, yet. will do. *hails the shuttle* * Sunspot sits down at the table with Thrash and sets Moonstone in the middle. * Patchwork readies his laser cannons *The interior of the shuttle pops up on the screen, with no one at the controls and a 'bot in the back of it.* *to Wait* Well, at least this unknown is registered. This is the Freedom. Please identify yourself *A green tape ejects from the controls and transforms into an ape, who sits down at the steering wheel* This is * Anchor, what may I do for you? * Slipstream hands over the comm to Wait * Cuffs is now known as Download you requested docking clearence. That's a bit unusual for an unknown vessel Yes, and? well, er... state your business? This -is- LONAC, correct? Correct. * Sunspot ponders ordering a drink for Magnum 'cause he looks like he needs it. And, am I correct to assume you've got at least two rooms avaliable for two recruits? * Thrashmane hos and humms around.. ahh... you want to join! You should have said so :) Ne... Please lower your shields so we can perform a standard security sweep, then we'll get on with the docking :) * Anchor presses a button. "Done." [off comm] been wanting to try out the new sensors... Docking? Not exactly. heh, I bet y'have. *Background from shuttle* 'Anchor! The trigger-*small explosion*-went off again!' [off comm] Security sweep please? * Download hands a datapad to Goannis * Slipstream does the security sweepy stuff *turns around* Then PUT IT DOWN, Runastray! nothing out of the usual, Wait. I didn't let you come with me just so you could frag up my junk, all right? is this statement really needed? [off comm] these guys look like fun... [comm to Patch] You're clear Patch. Watch out for the incoming shuttle though * Sunspot orders a drink and some snacky things. How big is your landing bay, by the way? *a loud clang, followed by another explosion 'It's not me! These damn plasma converters you dug up of Betasi-9 are horrible!' * Diablo goes off to the observation deck Well, no, but Waitstate would rather have it in case of any future misunderstandings More than adaquate to hold your ship *Comm to Wait* I'll greet the newcomers, then I'll be off, roj sir? Hey! Those are the best plasma converters ever built, so put them down and get away from those before you screw up anything else!! All it says is that he, or at least this bar, is agreeing to pay you the discussed during your employment, as such [comm to Patch] Alright then. Clear the floor in that case. ah... well, ok then. So, what do I do? *background 'Anchor, you spit on the outwire to hold it to the capacitor!' * Patchwork is now known as Runastray` Just read it through, and if you understand and agree to everything there, sign it :) Do you have a PROBLEM with that? It works just fine, move away from it! Get over to the door, stand still, and don't touch anything! Alright "Apartment", you're clear to land. Please turn telemetry over to our computers so we can guide you in *Patchwork to Wait* Roj thaaaaat commander Kirk boldly going! *sprints out of the landing bay* * Slipstream grins slightly as she listens to the two on the shuttle over the comm * Anchor hits a button, doing so, then leaps out of the chair and drags Runastray over to the airlock and starts yelling at him ok then *starts reading* *to Wait* Well, this lot looks like fun. Hehe. *The "Anchor's Apartment" is guided into the landing bay *airlock finally opens*-AND if you hadent pissed off that ex-autobot, mr.Negotiator, we WOULDN'T have to deal with a core drive that has to be kicked to work! It worked, didn't it? And I didn't piss him off, he held a GUN to me! And he WOULDN'T have if you hadn't mistaken his wife for a gunturret droid! * Anchor shoves Runastray down the ramp and shuts it behind him. Well maybe if she had a little more pride she would have kept better care of herself and I wouldn't have made that mistake. It was your idea to land there for fuel, anway. * Runastray rolls down the ramp "owww! I hope you find the smog bomb I put in your recharge bed!" I'll check for it, thank you. I guess I should go meet our visitors. Besides, the fuel ramscoop worked just fine. you DO remember we stole the ramscoop, right? Your bridge, Lil :) * Slipstream gets up to accompany Wait to the launch bay * Waitstate gets up and goes * Slipstream follows Wait coming with? yup, heh. * Waitstate gets on the lift *patchwork walks quietly up to Anchor, extending his hand "welcome to Freedom. I am Patchwork. Our leader will be here shortly Correction, -you- stole the ramscoop after I bought it because -you- thought the guy was ripping us... me, off., Looks good to me, *signs* * Diablo sits somewhere in the observation deck and lets scarab wander about NINE credits chits and my favorite lamp for THAT junk? I HAD to steal it! * Anchor looks at Patchwork quickly, then returns to yelling at 'Stray, "Next time you decide to do anything, ask me first" * Slipstream and Wait do the whole walky-lift-walky thing and end up at the launch bay * Waitstate exits the lift as it stops at the Docking Bay. * Anchor snarls "Your 'lamp' was the reactor I found on Alpha Centauri." * Runastray smiles "kept your room warm that time it overloaded, didn't it?" Ok, well, it's not busy today so we won't be needing you afterall. I'll make the adjustment to your roster, and I guess we'll see you tomorrow :) *Patchwork looks at Anchor, then 'Stray, and comms Wait *Uhhh Wait....hurry...I'm out to check my engines Ok :) *leaves the bar* * Waitstate walks up the newcomers Now shut up, we've got to look presentable. Welcome to the Freedom * Anchor stands as straight as he can... and comes up to about Waitstate's hips * Runastray looks at Wait, pokes him for a second, then offers his hand "howdy!!" "Greetings, Captain. I am Anchor." * Slipstream stands behind Wait and slightly to one side, and watches the two newcomers with interest *Patch smiles at wait "good luck" and tfs, tacking off into space I'd like to extend my warmest greetings to you and everyone else on board. * Waitstate shakes the offered hand * Runastray tinkers with a high density shrapnel bomb while Anchor chats with Wait, humming the Oscar Mayer Weiner song * Anchor sighs That fellow is Runastray. * Slipstream wanders over to Runastray and watches him fiddle with the shrapnel bomb. * Waitstate looks warily at the various weapons... Bit of advice... *points out a part Runastray's holding* That should go in the other way. * Battalion is now known as Overdose Anyway.... seveal stellars' ago I came aboard your fine craft while you were docked and had your plaza area opened to the public. * Waitstate nods * Runastray looks at the bomb, then at the spanner in his hand "but that way the whole bomb works properly, also giving off the delay warning that goes with these riot control type of bombs," I decided it would be a good establisment to set up shop at. * Overdose looks down at the project. "Hmm. Battalion, hand me the neo-torch." Much better than my previous base of operations. *waves at the Apartment* *Battalion hands over the tool* You sure he's not going to try and kill us again once he gets up? Hmm... gimme a look... Hm, I see. Well, in that case I guess I should tell you that our Plaza only gets sporadic business. Rather intense when we have it though. He won't even be the same guy when he gets up. Not if Overdose knows what he's doing. That's fine. I don't sell much anyway. The bomb was made mainly as a scare tactic, but has excellent prospects. See it gives off a small radio beacon *hands Slip the bomb* see? the transmitter is there...but I can't severe it properly * Download goes about the latest inventory figures after transmitting the info on the datapad to Overwrite * Overdose looks up at Deadlift "Of course I know what I'm doing." Hm. *takes a closer look at the bomb thing* Ah, there's the problem... may I? *holds out her hand for the bomb so she can tinker with it* * Runastray hands the rest of the bomb to Slip * Anchor pulls some disks out of subspace and hands them to Waitstate "Anyway, here are the specificatiosn for my ship, my yearly gross accounts, my monthly bill statements from the last eight vorns..." * Runastray looks around, and when Anchor's blabbing, sprays 'Blow me up please' on his back armor plate Hey! * Anchor reaches back and grabs Stray's arm. * Slipstream pulls out a couple of small tools from subspace and fiddles around with the bomb a bit Matter of fact, I'm almost done. Amazing job I did, all things considered. I'm very very glad I don't have to share a tiny ship with you any more... *growls* You know what they say, the harder they are to hurt, the harder they are to fix. * Runastray smiles and hugs Anchor tightly "You know I'm your hero!" * Waitstate takes the datapad ... Never heard anyone say that before. Uh, me niether. * Anchor sighs "I hate you". * Runastray dances around with Anchor before dropping him, becoming very interested in what Slipstream is doing and walks over to her ... * Overdose looks up at the two with a glare and gets back to work * Anchor looks up at Waitstate, "Well?" there are various financial concessions you'll be required to make. I'm afraid I don't have them with me, but they aren't anything to major there we go, that should do it... *tweaks one more thing on the bomb then hands it back to 'stray* Have a look, see what y'think That's perfectly understandable. * Battalion looks down at all the extra parts laying on the floor. "Um, shouldn't he have those?" * Bentnose wonders if he can get the local news from Recoil... * Waitstate downloads the info on the pad into the ship's systems, then uploads membership data into it. * Waitstate hands the pad back * Anchor takes it You want a nice bot, or a killing machine, Battalion? Those are what we call in the medical field, "Bad pieces". * Runastray looks at it , then takes out a small array of tools "great work! but look...." and points to a frayed wire "...you severed the second explosive charge when you disengaged the trasmitter. use this right now and you'll only get half the BOOM!!!" and snickers to himself a little * Anchor looks over at Runastray here, this is the standard membership form. I think I got the various Plaza operating contracts in there as well. I'll have to doublecheck with my assistant later I don't konw how I survived two months in space with you, Stray. "Bad pieces"? Can I look at your credentials again, Doc? * Anchor takes it "Thank you again." * Runastray smiles "The Ion Flux in your refresher stall never went off" Heh, no problem * Anchor tosses one to Runastray, "Fill that out and we're in." * Runastray reattaches the wires, smiling and showing it to Slip "hows that?" That's because I found it and removed the blasting caps. hm... much better. Heh, good boom potential there. * Slipstream raises a browplate at Anchor and Runastray, then smirks slightly and goes to stand next to Wait He's still keeping a fair supply of weaponry, but he won't be what he was before. At least not till we get to know him better. Hey, Thrash, I'm gonna go over and talk to Magnum for a bit, 'kay? * Runastray smiles and fills out his name as 'Zaphod Beeblebrox' and fills out the rest of the sheet backwards and hands it to Wait * Anchor leaps up onto Slipstream's shoulder and whipsers to her, "If you know what's good for you, you'll keep away from the insane Battlecharger there." Sure, good luck. I'll make some popcorn * Anchor smacks Runastray, "Do it right." * Waitstate looks at the sheet, blinks, blanks it, and gives it back to Runastray. * Slipstream glances at the ape on her shoulder and smirks. "If y'know what's good for ya, you'll get off my shoulder." ;) * Sunspot wanders heasitantly over, hoping not to get blown up. * Anchor hops down from Slipstream and starts filling in the sheet with a pen in his index finger. My pleasure.. * Runastray pouts and fills out the sheet normally and then cartwheels around "Hooooray! nooo moore apppaaarrrtmmmeeenttt!" * Magnum looks up at Sunspot "What?" Erm. Hi. There. Now, all we need to do is plug in his personality component. You say Backtrack worked on this Deadlift? * Overdose flips over a small chip and examines it Yeah, but Takedown did a few small changes to it from what I was told. Would it be okay if maybe I talked to you for a minute? ...and you STILL want me to do this? * Runastray lands in front of Wait "Runastray T Blight at your command!' and shakes his hand vigourously, leaning in and whispering to Wait "Actually... my real name is Yancy... don't tell anyone! Knock yourself out. As long as you have him as unarmed as you say you do.:) * Anchor shakes Waits other hand "Anchor A. Anchor" * Sunspot sighs. Ok. But when Waitstate finds out about him, this was YOOOOUR idea. yeah... ok then By the way... *quiet to Waitstate* We do seem to attract some odd ones, don't we. ;) * Deadlift puts his hands up "As long as it doesn't attempt to destroy the ship, I'm sure he'll be fine with it. I hope." I thought of something the other night that I wanted to tell you about. * Anchor drags Waitstate away from Runastray and Slipstream for a moment * Runastray smiles and walks over and shakes Slip's hand "Him I'm Runastray? Who are you?" Th'name's Slipstream. :) well, we'll be running some standard checks before you're officially members. In the mean time, I can set you up with quarters. Do you want rooms near each other? * Dark_Star walks into the room Since you've not seem to have much 'business' about, I can always be of hand in engineering. My primary function, after all. NO! NO! * Slipstream snickers * Overdose plugs in the component. "Here goes everything." ok, ok! hehe * Runastray turns away from Slip for a second, horrified at the idea * Anchor and Runastray at the same time, "I couldn't STAND to be with him any longer!!" * Waitstate puts you on seperate decks * Slipstream grins and shakes her head slightly Engineering, you say? * Runastray turns back to Slip, handing her the bomb "Keep it!" Yup. Sunspot will be pleased :) Sunspot would be the head of engineering? * Runastray turns to Anchor "YOU could stand to be with me? WHO got drunk on overrefined energon and spent all our money on kareoke machines? Such disorganization indeed she would. Those seekers we keep running into, that one who you used to know...he's the one who didn't kill me. I...thought that might make you feel better. Or something. I dunno... * Slipstream takes the bomb and puts it in subspace. "Why thankee" :) **The form on the table lays still until a flicker of his optic visor flashes blue** * Anchor turns to Runastray, "That was because YOU spiked the first drink and then told me that I could win big!!" * Overdose takes a step back Hm, Fuse? He did what? He didn't kill me. * New_Bot sits up * Runastray dives onto Anchor, tackling him "BANZAI!!!!" When did you meet him? * New_Bot takes a look around the room at the three occupants. * Anchor gets tackled and slammed into the ground, "What the slag are you doing?!" They were the ones who killed my team. All of them but me. * Slipstream wanders back over to Waitstate. Hello, how are you feeling? * Anchor fires his air cannons on a power setting just high enough to stun 'Stray, but not hurt him I see... *to Wait* Heh, they kinda remind me of 'Killer and me, way back... *chuckles* * New_Bot looks himself over. "Well, I'd say I'm feeling great, but I have nothing to compare it to." * Anchor scrambles over to Waitstate I...I'm sorry I bothered you... * Runastray falls back and grrrrsss... but smiles knowing that he set an olfactory disrupter, a stinkbomb for transformers, under Anchor's nose N... no, thanks. * New_Bot scoots himself off the table and stands for the first time * Overdose looks up at the bot hoping he did everything right * Anchor rips the OD off his chin and crushes it between his fingers "Try that again and I'll rip your bolts off." I thought maybe it'd make you feel better to know that maybe he's not so bad. Yes, thank you... Should I try transforming? * Sunspot smiles a little. * Runastray walks over to Wait and look around "I need to speak with you in private, sir" *All three robots rush forward a step yelling "Not in here! No! Bad idea!" *Magnum tries to smile back, but can't bring himself to* * New_Bot looks at the other three in shock for a moment. "Just asking..." *to Slip* Kinda reminds me of half the people here, heh I'd surmise that I'd be the -better- half... excuse me Now that y'mention it, yeah. hehehe * Waitstate steps to the side with Runastray *Battalion looks over to Deadlift and Overdose. "Did you guys name him?" I have a name. Anyway, Slipstream was it? Last time I checked, yeah. ;) I am... Interstate. * Dark_Star wanders around the deck with member quarters I guess I'll go back to Thrashy now and leave ya alone... .... * Runastray smiles, speaking calmly "Demolitions and Espionage expert Runastray, sir. You must know, this is all just an act. I realize I must sound crazy, even now, but I have perfected the ability to hide in plain sight, AND am looking forward to my first mission" I do want to give you and your body some tests. ::looks at the other two LONAC bots.:: "Lets take him to the holo-chamber." ... why does his voice seem so familiar? aha... I suppose I can follow. Try not to damage my ship in the process? *weak smile* You're sure you don't want company? * Waitstate offers a hand Heh heh heh, well see, his form was fitting, so I kinda... You didn't... If he finds out he'll kill you! * Anchor hobbles over to a corner and looks thorugh some unused power regulators Oh sure, I'm sure we will run into Prime waaaaay out here. * Runastray smiles back, and calmy shakes his hand "and...uhm...I ask, to keep this between us, unless the mission calls for otherwise, sir" ! You made him sound like Optimus PRIME!? Change it! of course. One of my best friends was in espionage. Can't. Wouldn't be right. ::grins in a scary manner:: * Anchor wonders if Waitstate would miss one of these mini-reactor flow regulators and pockets it ::Deadlift facepalms:: "Now I'm dead. I'm so dead. You just buried me." * Anchor sifts through some more Thank you sir! *and turns to Anchor* Oohhhhhhh no! last time you TOUCHED a flow regulator I was covered in dirt from the explosion for WEEKS!" Should have given him a voice like Galvatron where he goes "BWAHAHAHA" on odd occasions. That would have been hilarious! * Sunspot goes back to her own table. ::looking at Battalion:: You are SOOOO not helping. People are going to think I'm insane... Too late, oh mighty grey one. ;) Whaaaat? I don't know what you're talking about * Interstate looks at the others like they are nuts * Anchor plods away from the machinery Hi, guys? Remember me? Ohhhh really? don't remember the Dractakin who sold us those regulator of Nimbus and YOU tried to install them in an old Iacon-6000 Combuster? Oh, sorry. Anyway, follow me, I'll take you to the training grounds * Overdose exits DL's quarters with Interstate, Deadlift and Battalion in tow. * Pheonyx sits on Scamp's shoulder per usual. Quietly for a change The machine worked just fine after I debugged it. I'm going to have to get pest control Of course, if I did that, the Freedom would be rather vacant... Granted, the 'bugs' tried to eat us... THEY ATE MY HAND! You got a new one! Computer, locate Slipstream Unit Slipstream is in the launch bay ::Along the way, Deadlift fills Interstate in on what LONAC knowledge that wasn't already programmed into him:: * Goannis walks past Scamp on her way back to her quarters Nice bird :) Urg And anyway, they only destroyed -half- of the city. It wasn't like we had to nuke them. It was from a dead seeker we found in a junk yard! I STILL have creaky joints from that! I wanna wander around and see if anything fun's going on. You up for a walk, Thrashy? Say, Gonas, you interested in a walk? * Diablo watches Scarab climb the big windows Er, it's Goannis, actually, and.. ok. I don't have anything better to do :) Would you rather you didn't have a hand? It's because your little "Let's See How Mad We Can Get This Monster" shenanigin that I lost MY ARM. Well then, finally some life in this dull ship. hey! he SEEMED friendly! I didn't NOTICE the bodies until he stood up Dull? I don't think I've had a dull moment since I joined... Perhaps a trip to the launch bay later You didn't notice the GIANT BLOODIED HORNS he had? * Interstate and the others enter the holo-grid thingy * Sunspot gets up and wanders out of the bar. It took me three weeks to fix the motivater and get all the burrs out. * Runastray sighs "You know what we need?" * Anchor turns to Waitstate and walks to him "Anyway... *annoyed* What? A bar. You had enough last night. * Slipstream watches Anchor and Runastray's argument with amusement Deck 4, Plaza }:) I've got a program of Backtrack's that will suit his first run. I didn't have ANY last night!.....that I can remember... * Deadlift enters the disk I try to make it a habit not to drink when he's around. Geez Wait... y'really wanna see what they're like when -drunk-? That's why. for all I know, they are NOW ;) ...good point. * Slipstream lets Scrabble out to sit on her shoulder ::A large battlefield opens before them, bodies scattered here and there on the ground:: So, whats going on? Hey! I'm not as thunk as you drink I am! I'm as jober as a sudge! * Anchor smacks 'Stray's knee Right now, just us : ) Ah. We headed anywhere in particular? ::Bruticus appears from behind them, nearly stepping on them:: You want to go to the observatory? The bar has become almost as tiresome as my quarters **All four bots dive out of the way** Ok Interstate, take him! * Interstate looks at the large bot Hell no! You take him! Um, nooooo, YOU take him! I'm going to look around. So how long have you Dark Force lot been onboard, anyhow? * Scamp arrives at the observation deck with Goannis A guy that size!? I don't think so! Hmm, been a few years About three I would say, assuming my database is free of error * Diablo notices scamp and goannis enter *Battalion transforms* "I'll get him!" Ah. I think it's been nearly two for me * Overdose reaches out and holds Bat back "We're supposed to be training HIM, remember?" Before Dark Force though it was just me and Drill Master and a few thousand Decepticon soldiers heh Former Decepticon then? * Interstate looks at the others "What am I supposed to do!?" until I joined LONAC, I'd only been a slave to the decepticons for my whole life Oh, I don't know. Maybe SHOOT him? Oh, sure :) I was a slave too, only I didn't know it ah * Diablo gets up, retrieves Scarab then leaves ::ports begin to open on Interstate's legs and a cannon swings over his left shoulder.:: * Pheonyx squawks a hello to Diablo as he passes * Interstate lets loose a simultaneous blast from all ports Waitstate, where's my room? * Anchor tugs Wait's arm "Do you think you could allow me to speak with the head of engineering?" *Holo-Bruticus falls apart with a noticable hole in his chest.* I owe my life to Dark Force Like that? But enough about that Sure, that doesnt sound like a problem *The other three stand there in awe* I can see if she's busy if you'd like * I thought that Diablo would never leave... Whatever works. ::Side whispering to Overdose:: "You did take out ALL those bad parts didn't you? You said that right?" [comm] Wait to Sunspot. you busy? * Sunspot perks up. ::without looking away from the rubble. Yeah...think...so... [comm] Nope, just taking a walk. Something need fixing? Guys? Good? Is that what you wanted? I wonder where we're headed now? Now, can I go do something else now? [comm] I don't think so. We have a new member down here in the launch bay that wants to talk to you. He'll likely be joining the Engineering staff [comm] Okay, cool! I'll be down in a minute. * Diablo wanders about the ship It's all up to you ;) she's on her way * Sunspot makes her way down to the launch bay. Company ::Looking at OD:: YOu done with him, 'cause I ain't telling him what he can and can't do. * Sunspot sings a little song on the way. Thank you again. * Anchor sighs No problem :) Yes, yes, that's plenty fine. We...can introduce you to the crew now if you'd like. Hey Wait, I'm headin' back up to the bridge, mmkay? That'd be great! This fighting stuff is boring. * Runastray unloads all his junk off of the ship, humming happily Sure thing Slip :) Put that spare thruster back, that's mine. Bye Slip! * Interstate heads for the door heh, cya later. ;) Me? But I don't set the ship's flight plan... Farewell, Ms. Stream *winks* * Slipstream heads for the bridge No way, Monkey Master! That thruster is MINE * Sunspot enters the launch bay and ooohs over the big pile of stuff being unloaded from the ship. See the big red "X"? THat means it's MINE Ah, Sunspot! Over here :) Hello! * Sunspot walks over. Great. He's a pacifist. My big bad bot doesn't like fighting. I blame Backtrack for that one. Anchor, this is Sunspot, our chief engineer * Anchor turns around and sees Sunspot "Oh, hello!" * Runastray looks over the top of the box at Sun "Are you cheif engineer? If so, don't let Monkey Master Touch ANYTHING important! give him a toy, building blocks, something easy!" Yeah, but the point is he CAN fight, as we've just seen. Just takes...a little convincing. * Anchor reaches up to shake Sun's hand "It's a pleasure to meet you. I have a few questions regarding your current state of technology." Oh, hi! Okay, ask stuff. * Anchor asks some big long winded question using a lot of words over ten letters long Hmm, you're a tough one aren't you? * Slipstream arrives back on the bridge and sits down at her station, then continues going through those vids of hers. * Sunspot thinks for a moment. Seriously, don't let him touch the engines or weapons! give him lincoln logs and tell him it's important to build a playhouse or something! Yes. ... * Sunspot nods convincingly. * Scamp retracts his face plate and visor I'll take him to the bar and start introductions there. Knowing this crew, there should be plenty to meet in that area. It's a rare treat, reserved for a select few ;) Your plasma node supplier IS injected with accetaline nitrox?! Why? * Waitstate is impressed that Sunspot is able to keep up. Despite everything, she doesn't exactly radiate chief of anything ;) Great, Battalion and I shall go clean up the mess in your quarters. Good luck. * Phoenyx takes a good long look at Scamp's revealed face * Sunspot thinks. What sort of technology are you using in this thing? I have GOT to have a look at that. * Runastray walks past anchor as he's unloading "show off" Slackass. It's all pretty custom stuff. * Interstate exits the room with DL right behind him Yeah, this ship's like nothing I had ever seen before. I still don't see how your ship is flying... let alone intact, with that sort of stuff being injected into the primary plasma flow. But I figured it out! Even though I don't know the exact terms for it all... * Interstate looks around at everything as he passes * Anchor mutters Nice place you have here. Why? A face this good shouldn't be wasted * Runastray smiles at Sunspot "The red thing connected to the blinky thing! the blinky thing's connected to the wire stuff!" * Waitstate designed the original DEM designs on a napkin in the original bar, but doesn't tell people that. ;) Yeah, just got retrofitted. Used to look a lot different. What's different to anyone elses? * Roadkill spots Deadlift and Interstate in the halls and walks up to them * Phoenyx squawks with amusement Amazing, must have state of the art shielding material? It's mine my dear Heya 'lifter, heya new guy I don't know. :) * Deadlift sees Roadkill * Runastray keeps unloading the ship "Waity! We got tons of stuff, 3/4 of this ship is cargo bay! any chance some LONACers could give me a hand?" Hi Roadkill, this is Interstate. Interstate, this is Roadkill Hi Roadkill Nice t'meet ya, Interstate. You are a strange, strange character * Waitstate goes to a wall panel and activates the cargo drones * Anchor finally notices Runastray unloading, "Well well, you're actually useful for somthing." Ohhhh, wow... This is some neat stuff. * Sunspot goes to poke at the pile of stuff. * Interstate looks at Roadkill then goes back to admiring the view. Talk to the Quartermaster program if you need help with them * Anchor walks up and takes a box from Runastrays' hands "Hands off the bombs, though. * Runastray 'accidently' drops a rusty steel beam on anchor Strange? Perhaps. ... We are on our way to the bar. Seen Waitstate around? I MADE those bombs! Givem back! * Anchor picks the beam up in his other hand and tosses it to the other side of the bay Computer, can we get some drinks up here? I dont trust you with them Nope, haven't seen him. The bar, aye? What a coincidence. ;) Wanted to introduce him to as many as possible in one shot. Figured it would be the best place to look :) Oh, I don't drink * Runastray leapfrogs over Anchor and snatches his bombs back Yoink! I give up. Ah, I need to stop by the loading bay first, Interstate, to pick up a few things before we hit the bar. * Sunspot picks up a shiny box from the pile. Ahhh!!! my collection!!! * Runastray dives and grabs the box from sun "oh! PHEW! sorry! wrong box!" and hands it back before hiding his explosives from Anchor * Deadlift turns down the corridor towards the loading bay * Interstate follows * Roadkill continues on to the bar * Deadlift enters the bay and looks around * Goannis idly looks out to space * Sunspot wanders back over to Waitstate. * Anchor wanders over to his ship Runastray? Come here. They're gonna blow us all up, aren't they? I think they are, yes... o_o * Runastray walks over to Anchor * Deadlift sees Waitstate and Sunspot * Slipstream mutters to herself and makes notes on a datapad as she runs through the vids she downloaded earlier Leave all the cargo in the ship. I'll handle it later. * Deadlift approaches them with Inter in tow * Deadlift catches sight of the new bots unloading their ship * Sunspot turns and sees Deadlift with the newcomer. "Hi, guys!" * Anchor looks, "Howdy." * Runastray nods, taking only his stuff and putting it in subspace Hey Sunspot... Hiya....er...guy! * Interstate nods to Sunspot and looks at the bots everyone else is looking at Greetings, I am Anchor, junk expert. Um, yes, I'm Deadlift... I'm Runastray! I blow up things! Uh, anyway, Waitstate, I brought you someone here to meet... * Deadlift finally pulls his eyes away from the other newcomers * Anchor and Runastray clap in unison, "And we are brothers! *Clap* From diff'rent mothers!!!" (whispers to Deadlift) I think they're gonna blow us all up. O.O Meet? You are Waitstate, Captain of this ship, aren't you? At least it says so in my data files. * Waitstate turns and see the massive bot Slag, how did that get here?! * Waitstate draws his sabre and backs off Um...Overdose brought him. Whoa! Whoa! * Interstate backs off Hey, I don't want any trouble, friend! * Deadlift gets in between Ok, I'm confused. * Sunspot looks way, way up at the new 'bot. It's ok, Wait. Same body, but the "tin man" has a heart now. * Anchor looks up... way up, at the big guy * Waitstate puts away his sabre, slowly care to explain then? His name is now Interstate. A few of us figured he could come in handy. We, or rather Overdose removed the Quint technology and reprogrammed him. He's one of us now. * Runastray sneaks behind Interstate and writes 'too big!' in tiny red letters on the back of his leg Don't worry. He's harmless unless you piss him off- * Deadlift sees the unknown bot a second too late * Sunspot waves up at Interstate. * Interstate turns around well... welcome to LONAC I suppose * Interstate stoops down and picks up Runastray You have altered my leg in a way I consider inappropriate. Fix it, or I will hurt you in ways Unicron himself couldn't imagine. ...Aaaaaand that would be Takedown's part of the programming I assume. sounds about right... * Runastray sits in Interstate's hand, looking around in a conspiracy-manner, whispering "I just wanted to tell you, you're a little small-impaired" and gives him a thumbs up and a wink * Interstate drops Runastray to the ground Vertically gifted.... * Deadlift looks at Wait. "I think we need to take the automatic door opener away from you if you keep letting bots like this in..." * Anchor laughs * Runastray flips and rolls, landing on his feet as he hits the ground "Tahdah!" * Anchor claps and rolls his eyes At least you didn't fall through the floor like last time. * Deadlift looks at the tumble, then back at Wait. "Seriously." * Deadlift notices the death-stare Interstate is still giving the small bot So, uh, Interstate, show Waitstate what you do. Hey now, don't hurt him. I'm sure he was just playing... Ah, Stray, I suggest you do as the big guy says and remove the paint... * Runastray cartwheels over to Deadlift, poking him in his chest "do YOU have a problem with me! WELL THEN!!!!...GRRRR" and looks steaming mad, then sounds buisness like "You'll have to fill out the 'Why I hate Runastray' form... but I ran out REAL fast" To him? ::point at the little bot:: As much as I'd like to see you pounded into a pulp, it's just not politically correct. Oh, that's it. I'm calling Takedown in here right now. *goes for his comm* I don't have it in me to kill something this small, I'll let him do it. * Interstate decides to ignore the pest and wanders over to look at the shuttles Takedown? TAKEDOWN!!!*immitates Don King* 'My boy can nevva be takyen dawne! Someone call my name? * Runastray walks over to Interstate "'Scuse me, can I call you 'Bob!'?" * Takedown appears in the doorway by coincidence * Sunspot goes to poke through the junk some more. * Runastray turns to Takedown, pointing at Interstate "Oh I was just wondering if I could call him bob!" You can call me Al.... * Deadlift looks at his comm "Wow, didn't even do anything yet." * Anchor clambers monkey-like up Interstate's leg and takes up a spot on his shoulder. * Takedown takes one good look around the room and says "Um, hell no. Later." * Takedown turns and exits * Anchor imitates the devil on Interstate's right shoulder and whispers into his ear "Go on, step on him! You know you wanna!", hops over to his other shoulder, "Go ahead! No one's gonna miss Runastray!" * Interstate sees an open steel canister. Hmm. * Interstate grabs Run, shoves him in the container and seals it Ack! False imprisonment! * Interstate takes the container and heads for the bay doors * Runastray shakes the canister * Sunspot laughs and laughs. * Anchor whispers, "No, no just keep him in there for a while. Don't throw him out like yesterday's trash." Great! I'll open the door! Throw him out like TODAY'S trash!! >:D *There is silence, then a large *BLAMMMMMMM!!!!!* and the canister is ripped into shreds, and there are a few tatered masses of armour that my have been runastray * Sunspot decides to huddle near Waitstate for protection from all the scary newcomers. *voice* 'Don't worry....I am in a better place!' * Runastray peeks out from around Interstate's kneejoint 'See? better place! there's a lot of candy stuck in his kneejoint! * Interstate looks at Waitstate and Deadlift "Is this some sort of patience test?" Yes. For all of us, I assure you. * Runastray snags an energon goodie from Interstate's knee joint "Mmmmmm...melty! * Interstate transforms * Anchor hops off. * Runastray scuttles away from Interstate As you can see, we replaced his Quint vehicle mode with that of a human semi-truck. I'm thinking I need to lock them on seperate decks * Sunspot nods. * Waitstate steps forward So! Anchor, Runastray, how'd you like to check out your new quarters? Sure! *mutters* Anything to get out of this crazy place.. Yup! Who wants to take Anchor to his quarters? * Interstate drives slowly around the area, getting used to it * Waitstate walks over to Runastray * Sunspot tries to be invisible. *sighs* No more Runastray Actually, would it be too much trouble to ask if Sunspot could? I should probably acquaint myself with the chief of staff. I, um, gues I could manage that... * Runastray smiles "Oo!OO! I want bees! Will there be bees in my quarters?" * Deadlift looks at Run and just shakes his head awwwwwww, my bees..... * Anchor leaves with Sunny So where's he going, anyway, Waitstate? Oh yea... * Waitstate hands Sunny a pad with info on it * Splitwit swaggers down the hallway All right, then... *sings lightly* Oh yeaaah, I'm so coooool, oh yeaaaah, can't beat meeeee oh yeah! C'mon, Anchor, this way. * Anchor follows * Waitstate takes Runastray and leaves with him You're the boss. * Runastray goosesteps behind Wait, walking normal whenever he turns around * Splitwit walks past Sunspot and Anchor "Hey Sunnies, An..." YOU!! YOU! Hiya, Split! * Deadlift looks over at the passing Interstate. "As you can see, we're an equal oppertunity employer." * Splitwit points and bites his fingernails... or whatever Oh... Heheh. So you know each other. ^.^ You... I... but.... Anchor? Is that you? * Waitstate takes Runastray into a lift How the frag did you get away from that? Long story.... * Runastray tries to lift the lift, then looks at the name again, "oh!' and gets on Sorry I left you there, then... Hey, forgiven! ^_^ * Waitstate waits for the doors to close Anywho, I'm off to get wasted, cya later! * Splitwit saunters off * Waitstate then decides to talk that's quite a performance... * Anchor looks at Sunspot, "Is he still a heavy drinker?" * Runastray laughs normally "Thank you. I got it from watching an old earthen cartoon I picked up on Cybertron. Think they fell for it?" Oh yeah. Anyway.... my room? This way. * Sunspot leads down a hallway to another lift. -I- was falling for it. * Anchor follows behind Might be wise to tone it down juuuust a bit, heh So you've worked on lots of stuff? Yes, hobby of mine I collect junk. * Runastray turns to Wait "I understand. So, is there anything for me to do? May I speak with your demolition and Espionage experts? I will have to, ah, CLUE them in as well" I hope you're good at improvising. * Deadlift takes this opportunity to look over the newcomer's ship It's one of my strong points. I'm quite good at making junk work again, heh. There's a lot to this ship that's not strictly by-the-book. Hey! No! Who are you? I can understand that. We don't really have any like that currently. Well, Slipstream might be considered a demolition expert. You may want to "clue in" our chief of security though Who am "I"? I'm not a talking ship, that's for sure. Who is that? *A small rod extends from a hatch on the side of the ship and goes up to Deadlift* You! Who are you? Identify yourself! Cuffs. You are in MY bay. You might want to start introductions. Here we go... Of course. Anything for me to do right now? * Sunspot watches the lift doors open. I am ship's computer, designation Crude-10-Alpha. You can call me Crude, everyone does! It's just down this hall a bit... All right. * Deadlift looks around the ship. According to your design, the name fits... There are a few things on my ship that art by the book, too *chuckles* Is that an insult? Only if you take it as one. Since when do ships have personalities? Would you mind identifying yourself? As long as you own this bay you may as well identify yourself, too! Since me. My name is Deadlift. Though really, not much needs fixing except for when we're getting attacked. Which is an awful lot for a bunch of neutralists, really. Good to make your acquaintance, unit-Deadlift! I can understand. Not "Unit-Deadlift". Just Deadlift. As you wish, unit-Deadlift! * Deadlift starts to say something then decides against it. * Runastray looks around "Amazing ship, almost completly rebuilt. would you mind uploading diagrams, ship personel, and crew history to my room? I will need the information." * Sunspot looks down at Anchor. "So what brought you guys here, anyway? Everybody's got a reason to be here." Unit-Deadlift, do any of the other ships in this landing bay have computers I could hook up to? You would need to speak with Waitstate before such access could be provided. Me? I figure this place is a good place to sell my junk. That, and it's much nicer than staying on my own ship. Ah, Unit-Waitstate is the ship's captain? Yes. Runastray.... he's really much saner than he seems. He just puts on a show. I wish he wouldn't. * Backtrack walks around a corner and appears in front of open lift door You guys setting up a junk shop, then? Sure, after we've verified your credientials. It's nothing personal, just a precaution Forget I said that, though. He doesn't like anyone to know. And don't tell anyone. I'm setting up a temporary shop, yes. But I'd be happy to assist with whatever engineering needs you have. Well, unit-Deadlift, I am pleased to be of service. If you need anything, I'm here! * Runastray laughs lightly "I wouldn't trust me either, commander. is this my floor?" pointing at the open lift Hey Waitstate And I'll keep quiet. ;) Yeah, thanks. *alone in bar* Hey... where'd everyone go? Hello? hi Backtrack. Hey, your floor Runastray Okey dokey. * Roadkill sneaks up behind Thrashy "Boo." Oh, here's your room. * Sunspot stops. * Anchor stops Who is this? ::motions to Run:: Thanks again, Sunspot. *opens the door and walks in* * Waitstate steps out of the lift this is Runastray. New member :) * Runastray smiles "I blow things up! So do I. Glad to meet you. The question is, do you blow things up in a stylish manner? If you don't do it with style....don't bother doing it! Exactly. * Runastray turns to Wait "I like him!" and shakes Wait's hand, whispering "I will speak with you early next cycle. Thank you" and moves past Back and Wait, skipping torwards his room, yelling "wake up stevie time to leavie it's the fun bus man!" * Backtrack watches him go and looks at Wait. * Waitstate laughs, then backs away slowly What's the deal with him? * Backtrack steps onto the lift with Wait new guy. heh Two personalities or what? hm? * Aries comes around a corner and meets up with Wait and Backtrack Well, he sounded normal before he saw me, and then started acting odd. I just met the damn weirdest bot... * Slipstream sits at her station on the bridge, apparently asleep * Runastray points at Aries, yells 'Goat!' and giggles as he runs past Dunno what you mean *shrug* see? Mhm. Sharp receptors, Wait. But I'll play along. Yeah, he's about as odd as they come, I'd say. We really should create a seperate deck for his type... Not looking forward to bumping into him in the dark then. * Runastray gets to his room, smiling and opening the door * Twitch darts past Run and shoots down the hallway Nah, we'll set their quarters up in escape pods. If they get too loud we can fire 'em away * Backtrack grins "Even better." * Sunspot sighs and wanders back down to the bar. Waitstate, I think the refit crew brought in rats... Big ones at that * Roadkill looks up as Sunny enters the bar * Twitch comes tearing around the corner and climbs up onto Waitstate Hiya, Roadkill. heya Sunnymeister. :) Like that one * Runastray spots Twitch and smiles "Note to self: chase smaller tf pets around later to improve insanity standings with crew" and opens his door, closing it behind him Appears to be a less chilling experience than a spiderbot running up your leg though * Scrabble drops off the ceiling and lands on Aries' head * Launch quacks and hops up onto Aries' head, quacking again You missed our exciting newcomers. Nothin' normal has happened to me today. Quack! hm, we seem to be attracting small robot animals. Heh, knowing the kind of newcomers we get, that's probably a good thing, methinks. ;) * Launch flaps his way over to Waitstate and lands on his shoulder, "Quack!" Maybe I should get one They were pretty wacky this time. Like a little tiger or something to eat the rats and spiders and ducks. But I don't think they have anybody trying to kill them, so that's a plus. hehe, that's always a plus * Takedown enters the bar * Scrabble jumps off Aries and attacks Twitch * Sunspot looks up and waves at Takedown. Anyhow, I was sorting through some of those things we picked up from the station where we encountered the Waste this morning, Waitstate * Twitch meets Scrabble in mid-air * Runastray sets up a huge table covered in intelligence gathering equipment, another in explosive components, and plasters the walls with posters of Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Less Than Jake * Takedown goes over to where Sunspot is * Takedown sits down. * Runastray lays in his recharge bed, and sighs, fading to rest mode * Scrabble zaps Twitch multiple times yeah? find something? And I think a few might be slightly dangerous. *Shows blackened hands* * Roadkill waves absently at Takedown what happened? A few things have taken to blowing up. Nothing big mind you, but Restore couldn't get this black stuff off. So what's up, Takedown? * Twitch gets a grip one of Scrabble's legs and swings it around in the air perhaps you should get some replacements until you can figure out what went wrong I was going to call, but I've such a rotten day I was afraid -I'D- blow up heh, I know the feeling * Scrabble gets swung around, whee! * Twitch playfully runs off down the hall Yeah, thats what I'm doing now. Then I'll be recharging for the rest of the day and night before something else happens good plan Anyhow, Restore and Welder set all the remaining items up in a quarantine feild. You might want to go have a look I may. Be sure an leave Lifeblood a note about them. he'll be interested, Already done * Aries heads off to his quarters * Scrabble zaps Twitch then makes its escape * Sunspot orders herself a nice, fruity drink. * Skycat changes topic to "-=2001.203=- RP done! Yay!"
