* Roadkill sits around in the bridge doing not much So, what's the plan, grey one? if we have any, that is. * Splitwit moseys down the hallway with a mug of steaming hot hypergon in one hand and a datapaper in the other Mmm, nothing like Rollgers to start the day. I'm still looking in to a few things. I figure it's best we stay in one place for the moment, in case we need to be found. * Diablo walks into a simroom, makes sure the door is shut good, then lets Hellfire take control, load up a sim and grabs his new axe * Hyperion is on the bridge too Looking into what? * Splitwit walks into the Armory, inputs his password, enters, and sets his stuff down on the desk. Leads *looks around, looking sort of discouraged* Hm... aah. For Slip, aye? * Splitwit pokes a gun rack. Nothing happens. "Hmmm...." [Comm to Bridge] Alo? Alo? [comm] Bridge here, what's up? [Comm] Splits here, uh, in the armory. [Comm] So what do I do? [comm] Make sure things go boom properly, but only when they're supposed to. [Comm] okey dokey [comm] and make sure there are LOTS of things that go boom properly. *grins* * Hellfire hurts things heaps in the sim Coming up on orbit number 45,638... gosh this is fun ;p Heh, glad someone's enjoying themselves... somewhat. *chuckles* Well... better get to work. * Roadkill hears something in the air vents. Again. *frowns* Wait, y'been hearing those weird noises in the vents recently? * Splitwit goes about the Armory (filled with lots an' lots of GUNS!) checking them out and making them do good work. Damn spiders... In other words, yes. More active than usual I think It doesn't sound quite like the spiders though... Maybe we should block the vents flood them with corrosive gas }:) and what would that do to the vents themselves, hmm? hehe I doubt their owners would appreciate that, heh * Roadkill releases Scrabble and lets it sit on top of his console, where it beeps nasty things at Lilwall * Admiral-Lilwall ignores it Probably not. They'd only make more anyway I suppose * Splitwit picks up a particularly nasty looking shotgun. Mmm. Exactly, heh. I'm just glad the things don't lay eggs like real spiders. Ever gotten infested with those? ... I don't think I wanna know... *shudders* None of the Tactibots except for Diablo build spiderbots yeah, but many of them use them, don't they? Yup, I've seen Cham use 'em before. When on missions they will have two with them For recon and stuff, aye? Correct I'm afraid they've become a bit more recreational of late Aw, poor Waitstate... *chuckles* *hears the scrabbling in the vents again* Well, whatever that is, it's getting annoying... think I should send Scrabble in t'see what it is? you think he could convince them to leave the vents? assuming it IS spiderbots, and not something else as you suggest *shrugs* No harm trying, aye? * Anchor scrambles about in the engines doing stuff that's somewhat important, like making sure the ship doesn't vaporize itself when it moves unless he starts partying with the others, heh Nah, Scrabble's more likely t'beat 'em up and throw 'em at people, hehehe. hehe Go get 'em, Scrabble! * Scrabble beeps and scuttles into the vent * Admiral-Lilwall waits * Much banging is eventually heard in the vents, followed by loud spiderbot noises and a weird yowl Looks like I'll have to get that resealed, heh Looks it, heh. Maybe we picked up some sorta native rodent from the planet * An orange ball of fur rockets out of the vent, leaps off a console and lands on 'killer's head, with Scrabble close behind it That is not a rodent O_o Um... eek? * Hellfire tires of the sims easy targets * Roadkill doesn't move, but just tries to see what's sitting on his head. * The orange furball hisses at Scrabble and swipes a paw in its direction Lil, I think you'd know better than me... is that a -cat-? Yeah, it is ... I have a cat on my head? *nearly goes crosseyed trying to see it* Someone wanna tell me how a cat got on board? How did we get a cat on board? Musta snuck on board during the refit, I guess... Not often you see a spider bigger than a cat Not that Scrabble is the average spider Heh, true. * Scrabble beeps at the cat from its position on top of the console * Twitch emerges from the vent, looks around at everyone and decides to turn around * Admiral-Lilwall looks to Waitstate Can we keep it? * Waitstate looks to Lil * Waitstate starts laughing uncontrollably * Scrabble beeps something up at Twitch * Twitch squeeks back * Waitstate manages to pause in laughing Yes, I suppose you can *starts up again* * Hellfire ends the sim, puts his axe away and leaves the simroom * Lightning enters the bridge what the pit is that? My new hat. Y'like? * A triumphant quack echos throughout the bridge * Twitch hops out of the vent, does a quick little dance on its hind legs and runs off * Launch parades out of the Vent in which the catthingy and Scrabble emerged .... it's the duck! lunchtime! * Launch quacks It's raining pets... * The cat mews and leaps from Roadkill's head, then lands in Wait's lap * Twitch runs in and tackles the cat * Launch flaps furiously and manages to land up on Lightning's shoulder * Launch quacks * The cat yowls and slashes at Twitch * Hyperion watches on from where he is seated ...help me... * Roadkill picks up Twitch hey now, leave the poor li'l squishything alone, ratty. * Launch runs around in a circle on Lightning's shoulder. * Twitch begins to chase the cat around the room * Lightning harshly knocks it away and leaves the bridge * Twitch emits a "barking" noise * The cat huddles down in Wait's lap, fur all fluffing up, and hisses back at Twitch * Waitstate raises his voice. "I'm giving everything mechanical and under 3 feet tall 1 minute to vacate the bridge before I turn on the autoguns!" * Launch goes flying into the air, but fortunatly its fall is broken by landing on the Comfy Chair * Twitch looks at Waitstate * Scrabble quickly retreats back to Roadkill, who puts it away *quack of contentment* This means you. * Trihorn shoots out of the tape slot on the comm console and tfs to triceratops mode * Twitch opens a panel in the floor and begins removing energy canisters from the autoguns, which he had stored a week earlier I'd like to know who let all of these in It's the dinodude! *picks Trihorn up and pets it* Look you little beast, I have my own guns, so MOVE. I believe I can get them to move * Twitch leaps up onto Waitstate's lap and gets in his face making a nasty chatter * Hyperion tfs to dragon mode * Hyperion lets out a roar loud enough to scare em all away * Waitstate holds on to the cat * The cat fluffs up even bigger in fright * Twitch stops and looks at Hyperion for a second; then goes back to telling Waitstate off. * Hyperion returns to robot mode * Waitstate kicks Twitch across the room from his chair * Twitch rolls across the room * Twitch gets back up * Cirrus leans over and puts a gun to its little head * Twitch's front left leg falls off * Roadkill picks up Twitch, sans leg, and Launch, goes to the bridge door, opens it, dumps them outside, then quickly closes the door again * Hellfire instructs a number of spiderbots as he enters his quarters * Roadkill looks at Trihorn, who's taken over his chair. good. someone hold this while I seal the vent shut * Waitstate holds out the terrified cat * Roadkill takes the terrified kitty carefully awww, it's so cute.... * Trihorn roars then tfs back to tape mode * Waitstate gets up, hovers up to the ceiling, and seals the vent shut with his lasers there. not pretty, but it'll do * Waitstate lands * Roadkill is busy gently petting the kitty with one finger now then... you wanted to keep it Lil? Looks like you may have a fight on your hands * Roadkill leans against the arm of an unoccupied chair, still petting the kitty I was joking, but if no one else wants I suppose I'd take then No, mine! *sticks his tongue out at Lil* * Several spiderbots remain well hidden in engineering Doesn't bother me in the slightest, I won't have to watche where I walk everytime I'm in quarters :) *chuckles* I think Restore can plant a transponder in it. should help us avoid missteps heh, that might be a good idea. kitty's calmed down now, should I take it down t'medbay for that? yes, probably a good idea. Heh, Restore's the right height to even attempt it mkay then! I'll be back 'fore ya know it, heh. I don't want wild organics traversing the ship undetected if I can help it * Roadkill takes the bridge lift down to medbay * Admiral-Lilwall notes a flashing console and moves to it * Hidden spiderbots start beeping every once in a while Waitstate, sensors have detected an energy build up of some sort in engineering * Anchor hears a beep Hm. What's this now? *looks around* analysis? * Roadkill arrives at medbay with the kitty * Anchor drops down from a pipe and searches around Yo Restore, you home? Spiderbots charging to explode I'd say * Restore peeks out from her office Slag, stasis fields? Ah, there y'are! Got a challenge for ya, doc. A cat?? Where did he or she come from? *shrugs* Prolly snuck on board during the refit or something. Decided t'make an appearance on the bridge, heh. *Goes all puppyeyes* C'n I keep it? *chuckles* Bringing them online now. Spiderbot configuration is slightly different, Hyperion, take a look Get security drones down there now. Bomb squad Anyway, Wait thought it'd be a good idea t'plant a transponder in it so we don't lose it or step on it or something. * Hyperion moves over and takes a look Got it * Anchor decides to not stay where he is--in engineering--and makes a hasty exit. A good idea, put him or her over there, I'll be back in a minute aye aye, Doc. *sets the kitty down where indicated and keeps petting it* * Admiral-Lilwall sends some security drones to engineering alon with Cuffs, Scope and Hitchhike What do you make of those spiderbots, Hyperion? Seems as if the explosive devices within them are not of the usual type * Anchor nearly gets stepped on by the Security team as he exits Engineering "What's the rush?" * Restore returns with a few small devices Normal spiderbot is built to be able to de limb a bot when detonated. These ones are specially made for alot more damage So what now, doc? Alright then, I assume you'll be keeping *checks* her in your quarters? Most the time, yup, prolly. either that, or with me, heh. *goes all gooey* such a cute li'l kitty.... *quickly snaps out of it* Do you recognize the configuration? um... heh. *looks embarrased* Ok, this device will let you know where she is at all times. I'll just quickly set up so that it gives her a small zap when she tries to move to an area that probably would be hazardous to her and giant bots * Hyperion shakes his head "No" That section of the ship can be sealed and exposed to space if needed Alrighty... *holds the kitty for Restore.* * Restore does techy stuff with the tiny device then implants in the back of the cat's neck All done? She is, you aren't, me? *blinks* It seems as if they will need more time to charge fully. If the team down there can find them and get them off ship it should be fine * Restore picks up another tool and motions Roadkill to kneel down * Roadkill kneels What, y'gonna knight me or something? hehehe I'm just going add a chip to your cranial, that way you can know where she is even when out fo range from the transponder [comm to security team] Be ready to vacate engineering at a moment's notice. we may have to open it to space Um... heh, okay. Acknowledged. The drones are attempting to disarm the devices [comm to security team] Good. Keep me apprised * Restore does what she just said she would All done :) Cute kitty, what will you name her? Hm, I have no idea.... any suggestions? /:) heh, don't ask me, I'd just call her Puss *chuckles* I'll think about it, heh. Thanks doc! *picks up the kitty, waves, and exits medbay* * Hellfire vacates his quarters and heads for the armory * Roadkill heads back up to the bridge, kitty perched on his shoulder and purring all happylike * spiderbots beep even quicker * Roadkill arrives on bridge and nearly sits down in his chair, remembers Trihorn's there in tape mode, picks him up and puts him on the console, -then- sits down * Hellfire grabs his axe and walks into the armory What's goin' on? [comm] Waitstate, the drones have thus far been unable to disarm them, the spiderbots are beeping faster Intruder alert, main armory. Hm, not good. * Splitwit notices Hellfire. "Hey, uh Diab. Nice to see you in here. What can I get for ya?" Who is it? * Security autoguns target Hellfire. "You have 5 seconds to vacate the premises" ... What they said? * Hellfire ignores Splitwit for the moment, grabs a nice looking plasma rifle off a wall and shoots it before running out Woah! * Splitwit takes the handy little stun-gun on his desk and chases after Hellfire. whoa, weaponsfire in the armory * Hellfire rushes towards Medbay [Comm to Bridge] I assume y'all know that Diab just went nucking futz in the Armory? * Splitwit follows in car mode we have bigger problems. Tell the security team to evacuate Engineering. we're going to have to open to space 'kay then. [comm] Security team, evacuate Engineering. We're opening it to space. * Restore and Welder overview some recent med records * Hellfire turns, shoots behind him, then turns back * Waitstate starts sealing off the deck [comm] Acknowledged * Splitwit cries out as the plasma melts away his right arm [comm] enjoying the game, Waitstate? *shuts his comm off* let me know when everyone is clear. will do. [comm] Bridge, engineering is clear Engineering's clear, Wait. Where's Hellfire headed? and tell security that Diablo is now a valid target. Try to disable, but shoot to kill if absolutely nescesary. [Comm] Y'all mind if I open fire? Diab just blasted off me arm! * Hellfire rushes into Medbay and shuts the door behind him * Waitstate finishes sealing the deck, then begins unlocking the external bulkhead seals Whee... [comm] Cuffs, Diab's lost it again. Disable if possible Slag! Hey! * Welder fires on Hellfire with his cannon * Hellfire barely dodges Set inertial dampeners to maximum. This is probably going to rock the ship a little * Restore takes out her weapon and moves for cover Aye. * Restore and Welder continue to fire on Helldiab Decompressing... NOW [comm] Security to medbay! now! * Hellfire lights his axe up "We want our body back. now" * The main engineering compartment is opened to space, sucking everything not part of the ship itself into space [comm] On our way Restore * Welder blasts at the axe * Hellfire drops the axe and shoots back with the plasmarifle "You'll pay for that!" By the time you get to it you'll be overwhelmed Tactical, find the spiderbots and toss them away from anything in they could damage with a tractor beam * Hyperion does as ordered * Welder is struck in the arm and falls back * Cuffs, Scope an Hitchhike rush for medbay still * Restore fires into Hellfire's face He's too powerful for us, Restore * Hellfire yells out and ducks We have to hold him till security gets here * Welder transforms and lands in Restore's other hand * Restore fires again * Hellfire feels around for his axe on the ground then throws it * Restore dives, missing being sliced by a few centimeters * Restore scurries for cover again before firing * Hellfire is hit and knocked back by the shots fired at him * Cuffs and co arrive outside medbay *to himself* Pathetic drone armour The door is sealed We don't have time, blast it down * Cuffs and co fire on the door * Splitwit fires on the door * door goes boom * Hellfire grabs the rifle again, faces the door and shoots towards it as best as he can * Roadkill frets on the bridge, feeling useless * Cuffs move aside the door as the blasts go past * Restore fires on Hellfire while he's distracted Spiderbots found and moved a safe distance away * Gearwheel sends a transmission to lonac ship * Hellfire drops to the floor, holes in his back Good. once they're far enough away, detonate them with the pulse lasers. we dont need to leave explosives floating through space Waitstate, we're recieving a transmission from outside the ship. put it onscreen? * Splitwit scatters fire somewhat randomly into the Medbay, not being able to see through all the smoke * Hyperion nods and does so move in! secure him! source? * Hellfire gives control back to Diablo * The transmission has no image and partially sound Seems t'be a ship of some sort. The signal's kinda garbled though... * Hitchhike and Scope move in first, surrounding Diablo with weapons drawn on him see what they want * Roadkill does his best to clear up the signal somewhat. [comm] Freedom here * Waitstate monitors the action in Medbay *****tings, we have a ***tle troub** her* * Cuffs moves in and pokes at Diablo with his foot. * Diablo mutters something in an old cybertronian dialect he shouldn't be able to remember Splitwit, ensure the medical team's condition [comm] What kind of trouble? * Welder returns to robot mode * Splitwit is missing an arm... okay * Splitwit moves between the whole Diablo thing and the medteam. Spiderbots destroyed the recic**ng plant is, uhh, und** att**k * Cuffs places a modelock onto Diablo's back and activates it He looks bad, we should keep him in the medbrig * Diablo grabs Cuffs by the neck Wait, the guy on the comm says they're under attack.... * Splitwit waltzes up to Diab and looks at him sternly * Scope and Hitchike jump Diablo, while Cuffs drops his weapon and mode lock control BAD Diablo! Very very bad Diablo! No cookie! any evidence of it? Shut up and get the control away from him! * Splitwit turns his back to Diablo whilst the rest of the security team jumps him y'mean besides the lousy signal and sounds of fighting in the background? * Scope and Hitchike wrestle Diablo I'll remind you of that when my body is mine again, Splitwit I see. **** one of the d**** (big booom) !! [comm] Come in please, are y'still there? is orbital security doing anything? one of the b** ma***ines *****crazy * Cuffs struggles to break free of Diablo's grip Not that I can see.... I'm not sure if the signal's even making it to orbital security... it's pretty weak and garbled. * Restore grabs another control unit and tweaks it to the modelock frequency on Diablo, * Diablo loses hold while wrestling with Scope and Hitchike Hyperion, are we in tractor range? * Restore activates it and has Diablo release his grip and sit still *ell, th*e machine a******lates the *** ships It appears so * Cuffs backs off to regain himself Welder, you alright? A bit cooked but ok tactical readout on the ship? * Splitwit scolds Diab a few more times. Splitwit, I don't suppose you have you other arm nearby? :) *clear* the machine assimilates the another ships Well, my other arm got severed from me whilst I was driving. Shot of plasma burned off the upper part I could go find it though? * Scope and Hitchhike restrain Diablo further Appears to be pretty badly damaged. No threat to us * Splitwit moves his stub in a circle Woo They said something about some machine assimilating other ships... No, you wait here. We'll fix you up in a minute Try and get an explaination **ed keep the machine away... *shots and some insults* * Hitchhike nods to Cuffs Y'all have any idea how much this could hurt if I wasn't a giant robot and stuff? *nods back, standing up* [comm] Bridge, Diablo has been contained. Damnit, we should send a team, Wait... [comm] We'll need a repair crew down here [comm to Cuffs] Acknowledged, Cuffs. that SHOULD hurt, even for being a giant robot Well, it doesn't. Is... is that a bad thing? Yes, we should. but we don't know what we're dealing with Probably. Well, at least Diab's been secured, though they need a repair crew down there. Internal sensorary equipment is probably just shaken up a bit. All I did was turn off me pain receptor thingys. So, it doesn't hurt! dispatch repair drones [comm to Gearwheel] Freedom to unknown vessel, what's your current status? I believe it would be wise to search for other spiderbots that could have been planted over the ship * Cuffs, Hitchhike and Scope put Diablo into a cell in medbrig, and activate the energy field * Waitstate seals the outer bulkhead and begins repressurization * Roadkill sends the repair drones Also, dispatch someone to retreive anything that might have flown out of the ship that we want to keep *to Wait* I'll be medbay *exits the bridge* * Waitstate nods at Lil * Restore reapears in medbay dragging Splitwit's other arm Wow, where'd you find that? Alright Splitwit, onto one the main examination table thanks Down the hall * Splitwit uses his backpack-booster to hop/hover onto the table ***re the vessel righty. [comm to all flyers] Anyone feel like collecting anything we might've dropped outside the Freedom? *Looks at the arm* Jeez, he melted off more than I thought. * Splitwit lays down The upper section wil need to be reconstructed [comm to Gearwheel] What's your current status? I have Chameleon on the lookout for spiderbots. He should be able to find any without being noticed *** in one piece *boom* Agreed, you can start on that while I clean him up Good, we dont need any more suprises like this ***woo damnit, my arm!! * Welder nods and moves away to work on the arm t*o pie**s * Restore starts repairs to Splitwit's shoulder * Splitwit humms an annoying tune as Restore fixes up his arm Stop that. Stop what? That humming. It's distracting, and out of tune It's Flight of the Valkries! (clear)the 50 percent of the ship is assuming a organic pattern!! [comm] Hold tight, we'll send a team over to help It'll be me repairing your other arm in a minute, hold still *continues to work* Wait, we gotta do something. And fast. * Admiral-Lilwall enters medbay with some repair drones They're sayin' that the ship's assuming some organic pattern. alright... assemble a team Gotchya. *looks around medbay* What a mess. Yer tellin me. *moves over to Restore* Everyone alright? Mostly, medbay and Splitwit here took the worst of it maybe you should go yourself. if we're dealing with organic attackers, flamethrowers may be useful Briggard shot off me arm! If that is the case, I'd suggest Firestorm aswell hey *** are you **** me ..... Admiral-Lilwall> Looks like you're the better off. Repair drones are here, hopefully this place will look normal again tomorrow *static sound* 'kay, we'll take one of the shuttles... [comms Lightning, Recoil, and Firestorm] Heads up guys, get to the launch bay, we're goin' on a rescue mission... of sorts. Let's hope. And let's hope Waitstate has another idea on how to deal wtih Hellfire, because something like this is likly to happen again [comm to ship] hold tight, we're on our way. [comm] affirmative * Firestorm heads for launch bay * Roadkill quickly heads for the launch bay * Roadkill runs back to the bridge, hands the kitty to Wait, then runs back to the launch bay. /:) I imagine that will be pretty high on his things to do list. * Roadkill meets up with Lightning and Firestorm at the launch bay. "Where's Recoil?" lost, one hopes. * Recoil runs in [comm] Wait, found a few little friends in the plaza. Checking around the computer core now. Here he comes Hrmph, you had to ask. Ah, there y'are. C'mon, we've got a ship being attacked by some kinda organic mess out there. That sounds unpleasant. Organics splat, not explode * Roadkill boards the shuttle nearest the launch bay doors and quickly preps it for launch Where did Cuffs take DIablo? They burn well 'xactly, now c'mon. Do they now? * Recoil follows Hell yeah. *grins* To medbrig I believe, we shot him up a bit more than I'd have liked. * everyone gets on the shuttle, it launches and heads for the ship in distress *nods, exits and moves into medbrig* * The shuttle arrives near the ship that's under attack Looks messy Very... can y'see anywhere we can dock? * the vessel becomes more "organic," with veins and big bubbles of some green liquid its form has... altered Cuffs, how is he? Looks good, let's go. *takes the shuttle in and does docking stuff* * Firestorm checks his flamers *turns to AL* Sir. We have him secured. He is both restrained with energy bonds, and a modelock. Let's hope whatever that organic stuff is doesn't infest the shuttle... Actually, lets hope it doesnt infest us And medically? Don't even say that. ugh *shudder* I will never be infested with organic matter. Sounds fun, doesn't it? C'mon, we got organics t'fry Restore has yet to examine him. Looks to be in rough condition though, if you ask me. * Recoil charges his laser cannon * when the lonac ship arrives the organic thingy becomes irritated * Roadkill leads the others into the larger ship * Firestorm follows * Lightning follows RK * the green bubbles leads out some green goo pools I don't like the color in here * the organicy stuff does irritated organicy stuff towards 'killer and the others. Alright, Cuffs, you and Hitchhike remain on guard with him. Scope, help Chameleon search the ship, we're on the look out for any more exploding Spiderbots. Neutralize and dispose of them. * Scope steps out of his pretender shell Whee, this looks fun. Spread out and search for survivors... I shall send my shell in search also, I can cover twice as much ground * Roadkill unleashes a wave of flame at some of the organicy stuff that's trying to slime him * the green goo pools erupts some alienoid creatures with no friend faces Good idea, start with the occupied crew quarters before moving to the empty ones, don't want anyone to blow up * Recoil turns his cannon on them and fires! * Scope nods and set off with his shell * Admiral-Lilwall heads back tot he bridge * Lightning heads in a different direction to Recoil, hoping not to be noticed * Roadkill fries any alien goo things that approach and heads in the direction of the bridge. * Recoil watches the critters splat, but burn [comm] Keep in constant comm contact, team * Lightning fires on a few organics things that head for him * some tentacles comes from the walls and tries to smash some 'bots [comm] Righty oh * Welder moves back to Restore and Splitwit [comm] Don't bother with the areas that have already been heavily infested, survivors will prolly all be in the less infected areas. * Roadkill ducks a tentacle and flames it good as new, *places arm on the table* * Firestorm flames some tentacles good timing, I'm ready here * Restore reattaches Splitwit's arm and makes a few final fixups Yay! * Lightning turns a corner and sees large amounts of organic material * Roadkill is grabbed around the leg by a tentacle, and quickly flames it off. "Eew..." * Firestorm shoots a napalm missile or two down the corridor [comm] grid delta is blocked, moving to next grid there, all done. [comm] Acknowledged, Lightning. * Recoil starts burning designs into the organic masses Dammit! Get off! alright Welder, let's get this place back together * weapons fire can be heard from around the next corner. * Roadkill hears a voice and weaponsfire, and quickly heads towards it, flaming stuff left right and center * Recoil does too Is someone there!? Anyone? In Primus' name, help! We're coming! What he said! I don't think.... slag.. HELP! * Roadkill and Recoil break through a wall of organic crap and spot the source of the voice. [comm] all grids to the fore of the ship are blocked, I am returning now * Firestorm follows behing Roadkill and Recoil What about Diablo? ah slag... *quickly starts flaming the organics attacking the bot* He blew this place up, he can wait. * Admiral-Lilwall arrives back on the bridge * the organic thingy becomes more and more irritated * Switchbox blasts a few baddies between Roadkill and himself. Hi! Glad to meet you! * Recoil switches his cannon to wide dispersal Betchy'are, heh. Lovely garden y'got in here... shield your optics, I'm gonna burn it all off you! [comm] I've taken care of the spiderbots I found on the plaza, and the ones on the lower obs deck too. * on the ship another big boom comes to the ears of the lonac 'bots gah, that didn't sound friendly... You're a Cybetrtonian. Are your friends Transformers too? * the ship trembles [comm] acknowledged, Cham. Head for the crew quarters and assist Scope in searching out any more * Recoil fires a relatively low power microwave beam at Switchbox and effectively melts the organic matter off of him Last I checked I was a transformer still Hell, it's been doing that. Not quite so loudly before... yeah, we're Cybertronians. Now, less talking, more escaping, hmm? *grins* * Roadkill helps the bot up. That help? Thanks, big guy. Welcome *to Waitstate* Well, Diablo is in the medbrig. Lucky we put him into that drone body, Restore and Welder managed to shoot him up enough until security arrived and took over not a prob. y'know if anyone else is on this ship still? * Recoil goes back to full power and burns more crap [comm] I doubt quarters would have been a priority for them. Thinking more of things which could cripple this ship, and large areas where we meet and stuff. * a halfgoo bot comes to the lonac bots eek, walking slime thing! *flames it* Ok, that is just disgusting *halfgoo bot scream and tries to slash someone!! * Firestorm gets a little too happy with his flamers Well, no, I don't think so. I was in stasis when... well, when whatever happened happened, but I saw what was left of the crew. [comm] agreed, but I don't trust hellfire would be the type to not consider blowing some of us up in our own rooms * Roadkill dodges the halfgoo bot thing and flames at it again * Recoil fires a small incindiary device at the former bot * anothers halfgoo bot transforms to bot from goo and tries to eat all of the no goopeople There shouldn't be any... dear god. He must have been alive. [comm] Good. Looks like I made a mistake letting him free C'mon, let's get outta here.... [comm] Lightning, status? * Lightning shoots up some more organic stuff, still not finding any survivors * Firestorm shoots several more napalm missiles [comm] No survivors located Ur, right. I know there aren't any survivors in the uninfested section, so anyone left -- * Recoil fires several more explosives, then detonates them, reducing the goobots to an icky brown mess ... icky brown mess there. * Chameleon helps Scope search Well, they'd be like that. So we should go. You have a ship, I hope. * some more big booms become audible, and the ship trembles 'course we have a ship... * Switchbox is firing into the goo, la de da... * Roadkill nearly falls over when the ship shakes We hope we still have a shuttle well, yeah, that. * Recoil catches RK and steadies him * the goo tries to catch some more bots thanks Recoil. *quickly flames a goo thing approaching Recoil from behind * Firestorm chases after a gooblob and flames it I wish that I could just *assume* you had a ship, but since *I* had a perfectly good ship until a few hours ago, I suppose that you never can tell. Heh, true, which means we better get back to it damn quick. * Recoil fires explosives ahead, clearing the way somewhat Right. Someone lead the way. [comm] Lightning, we're returning to the shuttle. hey, here!!! on another corridor *to wait* What's going on outside? here!! [comm] on my way * Roadkill perks up at the voice and heads towards it, flaming yet more stuff. You hear that? Yup. Not entirely sure. Some sort of organic infestation. What, more cats? ;) * Roadkill spots Gearwheel What? Another survivor? Could anybody tell what direction that scream came from? Over here! Good God. Not unless cats come in green. I'm trying to follow the comm traffic, but it doesnt make a lot of sense * Gearwheel screams more loud, because he's only a head "HERE!!!" Cringer was green * Switchbox fires his hydraulic rifle into the goo around Gearwheel, dissolving it. I have no idea what you're talking about You there! What is your condition? * Roadkill flames the goo surrounding Gearwheel, burning it away Heh, just a reeeally old cartoon character. * Recoil hits him with a microwave beam, clearing him more But we're transformers, not cartoons, so I guess it wouldn't be green cats anyway still a head, bah weep graaagnah wheep ni ni bong Ahh... Roadkill name that kitty yet? man, that's a lotta gunk there.... *keeps burning it off* Ahh. So I suppose we're free to fire at the area where one would expect a torso? I think he's been a bit busy... Shouldn't we prepare the launch bay incase some of the organic infestation is carried over on the shuttle? well, err, welcome to the DELARIS, a science and other stuffs ship He on the organic ship too then? Do you know if there might be any other survivors? heh, friendly welcome.
