* Waitstate changes topic to "-=2002.342=- RP on!" * Restore explains stuff to Waitstate * Waitstate listens So long story short, I think I can successfully severe the mental link what kind of effect will it have on them? It's hard to say. Most on board don't even realise they have the link in the first place. It's not like they're best friends. But I can only do it with them both present. In the meantime though, he should be fine to wander around as normal now that I've got the stablizers properly installed we'll have to rendevouz with Welder's team ASAP then Welder has the tools to install the stabilzers in Aries, he feels confident he can do it We just have to hope they get there in time, because if they don't, then stabilzers aren't going to do much good for AL anyway * Restore brings AL out of stasis will these work long term though? One way to find out * Admiral-Lilwall comes online and steps out of the stasis chamber a little groggy How do you feel? Like someone was playing in my head That was me. *starts a scan* * Waitstate steps forward do you know what happened? Did you fix the link? Yeah Kinda had a heads up from the last time It's temporarily ok for now. Scans come up normal, you can go. But check back in daily Restore tells me she's not sure how long this stuff she's installed will last. Thanks. Better not samba too often then * Redliner hangs out at the Quickbite! :D * Terrafirma hovers about Did I miss anything? How long have I been out? Not terribly long. We've snagged a beacon or two I think easy ones. I dunno what to make of that, heh Better than hard ones, just hope we aren't still months away from whereever they lead * Redliner sits at the counter and pores over a series of images on a primitive-looking palmpilot datapad thinger, his enercoffee relatively untouched... * Admiral-Lilwall checks his internal clock you and me both. we seem to be drifting further and further away from explored space Oh good, I woke up just in time for the holo flick I reserved for the theatre, feel like a walk? * Flashpoint (Diablo) leaves his quarters, datapad in hand. * Rockbox sits in his quarters playing heavy metal music for Hi Fi and Eequ to train to Sounds like a plan, if the doc says you're clear She did I did See yes, yes. not what I meant. anyway, let's go, heh [comm to Waitstate] Hey. Got something for you if you're not too busy * Rockbox watches as Hi Fi and Eequ get all crouching tiger/hidden dragon on each other * Admiral-Lilwall walks out of the medbay with Wait and heads for the plaza * Waitstate looks to Lil Looks like I have another possible appointment... [comm] whatcha need Diablo? [comm] Just need to give you a datapad. Nothing else. [comm] Alright. Can you meet me on the Plaza? [comm] Sure thing. *to Lil* Shouldnt take long :) Doesn't bother me * Flashpoint makes his way to the plaza * Admiral-Lilwall enters the plaza area after a short trip * Waitstate follows behind Nice and busy down here today, *noting the 30 to 40 bots around the place* Wonder if there's a sale on quite a nice change, if you ask me * Admiral-Lilwall stops and stares what? * Waitstate looks about Maybe it's just Restore's hands in my head, but is that Autumn I can see over there? *points* * Flashpoint arrives at the plaza, then heads over to Wait and Lil. * Redliner holds his datapad out and looks at from a distance for a moment. Then he turns it upside down. * Autumn Beauty goes about her business, carrying a few items she's purchased from the few stores that are available * Waitstate looks in that direction * Autumn Beauty seems a little more comfortable in a crowd of no one's, but still on edge Well slag, it is * Autumn Beauty takes her shopping and heads back for her quarters * Waitstate watches as she leaves the Plaza area Well, she's obviously doing better what do you suppose changed? *walks up behind Wait and Lil* Maybe she got possessed by something. :) Dunno, girls gotta spend money I guess. Hey Slip heya Lil, grey one. She's probably more at ease with a bunch of unarmed civvies if nothing else I guess Or possessed. *grins* could be... hey Slip, wanna join us for a movie? Until the all the new bots arrived, everyone was big and scary and triggerhappy * Flashpoint meets Wait and Lil shortly after Slip does. Mehe, I don't think I feel like sittin' still for anything t'day. Wanna kill something. ... metaphorically speaking, of course. Hey Diab... said you got something for me? Yeah. *gives Wait the datapad.* Don't know any Diab's around here anymore though.. * Rockbox watches as Hi Fi attempts to throw an energy bolt and get knocked the hell out by Eequ huh? Feel like a change eh? * Waitstate looks at Diab funny Nice going Eequ * Flashpoint points at the datapad. "Look at it." That or you're some other evil you again.., * Redliner reaches out, takes a sip of his enercoffee, sets it back down... Whoops. I thought he would drop the e-bolt and dodge * Waitstate reaches for his sabre playfully ;) Doesn't look that way * Rockbox transforms to robot mode * Slipstream just stands back and watches curiously * Waitstate pulls up the pad instead Nah, no more evil me's ever, hopefully. * Waitstate starts to read GANG WAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! * Rockbox bends down examine Hi Fi "He's out cold" I think we can all let out a cheer to that one. a cautious one, but still. heh That's good t'hear. So what d'we call y'now, dragondude? * Fragment, surfing on Crevas, comes zooming through the crowd in the plaza * Redliner casually glances up, spots Wait, Lil, Slip and Flash standing around... Flashpoint will do. Overwrite's not gonna be pleased, but I'm glad to see you've found peace and stuff... Flashpoint :) * Fragment and Crevas zoom through Redliner's legs and continue on elsewhere whoa, hey--! * Trihorn chases a random person in the plaza crowd Well, let's get him to the Medbay * Redliner blinks... then he sighs. He polishes off the rest of his enercoffee and sets the cup back down onto the counter. "Thanks Terra!" And then he runs out of the Quickbite, waving his datapad at Wait, Lil, Slip and Flash... * Slipstream blinks as she spots Redliner. Look out, here comes another one! * Terrafirma waves bye and laughs This place is crazy. *looks around at all the people and wonders why she came down here in the first place* * Rockbox leaves his quarters with Hi Fi on his shoulder and Eequ in tow oiiiii Greydude, can I get you t'check somethin' out fer me..?! If we run now, we could get away, heh I have a feeling I know what you want to show me... * Redliner approaches Waitstate and holds up his datapad like he's advertising pepsi or something. * Rockbox arrives at the Medbay um... hello? Think I'll be finding somewhere to sneak off to, now Sneaking off sounds good. Too many people around for my liking. * Admiral-Lilwall wanders off and heads into the theatre * Dark_Star enters the theater and sits in the back I know I wasn't around when Rockbox came to talk to you, but I thought I'd catch you while I still could... * Outreach naps in the medbay, finding his quarters to far away for him to be comfortable :) well, Lil's up and running again... so I guess now's a good enough time * Slipstream just waves bye to Wait and Lil, then wanders off in search of quieter stomping grounds. * Ruse walks around the plaza * Fragment and Crevas reappear and zoom around Slip then through Ruse's legs before annoying the crowd in general and disappearing again * Redliner blinks. "Who?" * Rockbox walks into the Medbay and sets Hi Fi on an examination table such havoc * Slipstream just makes sure not to step on or trip over the two diskbots and continues on her way. I love it * Flashpoint heads off to the bar, where hopefully its a little quieter at least. * Redliner is totally unaware that he's scaring off Wait's theatrepals. XD * Scamp walks into the bar * Waitstate takes Red's pad and scans over it * Phoenyx sits quietly on Scamp's shoulder for a change A moment of peace, imagine that * The datapad lists costs and whatnot of running a casino, combined with Rockbox's numbers... * Waitstate beeps Lil so he can come take a look I thought I was going to have to fill you up with toxic drinks * Phoenyx just looks around the area, having forgotten what it looked it * Earshot and his buddy Spazz walk into medbay, looking around for something * Outreach naps on a med-bed, so he's unaware of the newcomers in Medbay * Phoenyx threatens to squawk out an audio receptor * Gravix walks into the bar * Waitstate looks over in Lil's direction and beeps him again * Phoenyx steals a energon snack from the bar counter when no one is watching * Talis heads into the bar area I figure Waitstate will show up here sooner or later * Admiral-Lilwall reappears from the theatre, deciding he didn't like the movie after all * Earshot finds a laser scalpel and some other tools, and decides to borrow them for a second. he and Spazz exit the medbay * Admiral-Lilwall decides to see what kind of trouble Waittate is allowing this time and heads back over ah good, there you are I wanted to get your opinion on this * Admiral-Lilwall looks at the data pad * Slipstream wanders down to the ventral observation deck. The floor is completely see through, giving the feeling of floating in open space. * Amethyst and Diamondfire walk into Terra's shot Hm, I dunno... *To Redliner* Are you willing to put up with a nagging cheif of security who has little personality or tolerance? * Flashpoint ignores two drunken minibots that seem to be trying to smash each other at the back of the bar. I take it you're ok with this idea then? * Slipstream sits down on the floor and leans against a couch, just enjoying the view for the moment. uh oh. Well, I was prepared for that... I guess so, if it promotes healthy plaza activity, * Redliner smiles and shrugs. ^_^ "So long as he doesn't get too expensive, I don't mind." I've already had one complaint about the idea. Though it was mostly more of a zoning issue * Drillmaster hangs out in the plaza with Ruse Zoning shouldn't be a problem, is it not going down near Line-In's store? You know, the noisy end of the plaza? Terra doesnt want it too close to her shop. Can't imagine Snake-Eyes would want it across from her either. should I call Rockbox down here? I mean, I -am- spending his money here... * Goannis goes about being the waitress in the bar I dont mind it near the bar. It's a bit apart from the rest of the plaza anyway * Ghost-Stalker enters the bar, holding a small datapad. She doesn't look too happy. Why don't you have a seat Ghosty? * Scamp pats his lap a casino isn't all that noisy either, it's the club below it that'll be the loud part. * Solder is wandering around the Plaza. * Earshot goes back to working on in his room * Waitstate pulls up a diagram of the Plaza * Outreach keeps snoozin. He's one tired bot *venomously* That isn't ever going to happen. * Phoenyx pecks at Scamp's head Darn buzzard * Ghost-Stalker moves over to the bar counter and throws the datapad at Download * Scamp hands Phoenyx an energon goodie Hey! The complaint department for your particular case is with your buddies, they made me do it there's very little on this wall adjacent to the bar, and it's blocked off by this row... I think it's a compromise we can live with * Solder leaves the Plaza to go acquaint himself with Medbay some more. * Ghost-Stalker doesn't care * Redliner nods. "Is this what you told Rockbox as well?" You can go find Arashi and make him pay. I certainly won't be paying. * Slipstream does something she hasn't done in a long time... pull out some demospheres and start tinkering with them. Within minutes, bits of explosives are all over the floor around her. I'm not going searching for anyone, I'm working here! You find him, it's your dispute no. I came up with most of this since then * Phoenyx watches the fun at the bar with this layout, you wont face the main part of the plaza. it might cut down on some of your customers, but it wont bother any of the established businesses * Goannis comes back to the bar, mixes a few more drinks and heads back out to the tables again Believe me, I will be finding him and dealing with him in my own way. You want your money though, you go find him. * Scamp waves at Goannis Hello there, I could use a bit of service * Solder enters Medbay and begins wanderig around it. you want it reversed, then you SEND him here, I do NOT have the time for a walk * Ghost-Stalker leaves the bar and begins the hunt for Arashi * Redliner chinrubs. "Iiii dunno... err, let me comm Rockbox for a sec, he's probably around here somewhere..." Then you'll have to wait your turn * Phoenyx chuckles like a bird bot would, at Goannis' comments of course, as compensation, I can grant you a larger site to work from. Call it lower property values :) I like them spicy * Scamp winks welp... it's Rockbox's money, and I'm relying mostly on him for PR and all that... * Download hands out a few other drinks [comm] NG to Waitstate * Solder finds nothing in Medbay, so goes back to the Plaza. just a moment... [comm] Wait here. what's going on? aaand besides, he's probably not gonna care too hard. so where's this space in realtime here? [comm] If you've got free time, we're pretty swamped in here and good use a hand, * Goannis comes and goes a few more times before stopping at Scamp Ok, what would you like? Well now [comm] I'll be in as soon as I can then I'd like a nice tall drink Well, it's not far. I can show you if you'd like Yes... Scamp> Surprise me! right. that'd be ace, boss. Bosses. * Redliner grins and gives a dual thumbs up to show that he's all for it. :) * Goannis goes behind the bar and mixes up the most foul tasting beverage she can imagine then passes it to Scamp * Solder notices all the commotion in the bar and walks in. this way then *motions and starts walking away* This one's on the house, 'sweetie' * Flashpoint decides to flee from the madness of the bar. He should probably warn his brother about Ghost being after him, too * Goannis goes back to serving other customers * Spaz flits about the Freedom, looking for something to cure his boredom Come on now I can't drink it all alone * Phoenyx takes a drink of it then * Redliner follows Wait and Lil around! :) Heh heh! Wow! The whole durn ship must be here! * Admiral Lilwall casually wanders off again, this time to the bar * Waitstate leads Red toward one of the far Plaza exits, near the bar, but turns the opposite direction once he gets there, and leads Red up the unoccupied back row * Phoenyx hides a contorted expression and decides to fly off to someplace less toxic as the drink It's a miracle drink! * Scamp pours the drink into a compartment in his arm Gonna save this for later I can give you a double lot for the same price as a single back here. For a dance club with extras, that should come in useful * Redliner walks alongside Wait. "...hmm... " ....y-eahhh I could see that... but see, the dance club isn't mine, it's Rock's. But his interests are mine too I guess... * Solder notices Scamp. "WOAH! D'y'see much action there? Y'just made that there arm into a bomb!" * Slipstream continues to tinker with her demospheres, parts scattered on the floor around her. It's the only place I could put the stuff, heh uhh, alright. Throw some numbers at me... * Spazz flitters into the bar, looking around, beeping occasionalyl Yeah, yeah... just don't go lettin' it be shot at! You'll feel worse in the morning than if you'd drank it! Heh heh! * Waitstate hands Red the pad, and it's been updated with the numbers he quoted Rockbox You're new here right? * Redliner takes the pad from Wait and eyeballs it. Yeah. Already got meself a job, though. Medic! * Solder points at his chest as if to point at a badge. Nevermind that there isn't one. We could use more boring medics Boring?! * Redliner fights the urge to haggle an outrageously stupid offer. Instead he smiles, looking up from the pad. "Awright, it's a deal." Oh come now, I can't remember the last time I've seen a medic in the bar Heh, you'll get to know Scamp real well, medbot :) He's often in there having Phoenyx's claws removed from his head I guess it goes against their code or some such nonsense works for me then :) *to Download* Heh heh! Does he, now! * Waitstate shakes on it That or dents from other femme bots, hehe Anyway, I just heard all the noise an' got curious as a turbokitten. Nothin' more than that! Yes, I've had my share of claw removals and dings, but it's all with the territory Besides, I could have any one of them if I really wanted * Redliner sticks a hand out and shakes Wait's hand vigorously. ^_^ "Faaantastic, bossbot! Thanks bunches!" * Goannis laughs in the background pleasure doing business :) speaking of which, I believe I have one of my own to check in on * Admiral-Lilwall enters the bar and manages to secure a free table as a group of bots leave it to exit the bar * Ghost-Stalker enters the ventral obs deck and spots Slip with her demospheres, but no one else. She leaves quietly and continues looking elsewhere for Arashi no problemo. I'll let you know when we're up n' running, and you'll get the first drink! Turbokitten * Solder notices Goannis' laugh and looks back at Scamp. "Heh heh!" Too many pets on board if you ask me She's a cutie isn't she? feel free to make use of the shipboard construction facilities :) Er... uh.. * Waitstate waves and heads toward the bar [comm to Arashi] You'd better be careful little brother. Ghost's after you. Don't ask me for help, either. You got yourself into this one. ya-huh, you bet we will. We're gonna make your ship bloody famous! Is that any way t'talk about a lady in public?! * Redliner watches Wait head off. Then he runs off to find Rockbox. :P * Arashi just swears something crazy back over the comm. He fears Ghost. He wants to hide. Public? I guess you could call this public * Spazz flies behind the bar, looking around some more * Waitstate steps inside the bar I'd call it public... * Goannis and Download continue about tending to customers and whatnot I feel rather boxed in at times, but I guess it's not much worse that working for the Decepticons * Waitstate takes a look around and raises an optic ridge at the crowd Hello Waitstate * Waitstate waves across the room * Spazz lands on Goannis shoulder, looking quite pleased that he got through the bar without getting hit Well, it's better 'cause you're not a De - oop. Er, well, y'just gotta accept whatcha got! * Waitstate starts around, checking up on all the customers * Admiral-Lilwall talks with two refugee bots that decided they wanted to sit at that table too Hello, what are you? * Arashi runs around in his quarters madly, trying to find somewhere big enough to hide. Starstorm doesn't bother to ask what's going on. Bleep!! I've got it all * Waitstate makes his way over to Gravix's table ...wow, really? What's 'all'? I see, *trying to take notice while attending to customers* so, settled in ok yet? Stylish good looks, a wit that doesn't quit With all these newcomers, you must not feel quite as lost :) Heh heh! * Admiral-Lilwall waves over at Waitstate for whenever he has a moment Not to mention I'm one of the best flight attack soldiers there is [comm] Cham!!!!!! You've gotta help me. That crazy femme of yours is after me. Where the slag can I hide?? Well, I don't think so really, but everyone tells me I am * Scamp grins * Spazz looks at what Goannis is doin, looking from the drink to employee, beeping happily like he's important to the whole process... But not with that stuff in your arm! Yeah, I kinda like the place now. I'd really like to get to know my brother's friends Gravix especially you sure, I'd love to spend some time with you. Your brother and I were close I'd also like to tie up any loose ends he may have left behind * Chameleon laughs madly over the comm at his little brother. It takes a while for him to stop laughing Debts, promises, anything like that well, he had a decent tab in here, if I recall correctly ;) * Scamp pours at little bit of the drink into a glass and passes it to Solder Then by all means please take it from my account Ehh... thanks, but no. Not right now. * Goannis spots this and tries to get Solder's attention without alerting Scamp eh, it's no big deal. For one, his account covered it nicely * Goannis sighs in relief and goes takes another tray full of empty glasses back tot he bar *whispers* I think the dame is waving at you Solder buddy. * Solder waves back to Goannis. Really noticeably. [comm] I think I can help you find somewhere to hide. Hehehehe. You just stay there... *He's been waiting for an excuse to shoot something* * Spazz fires his tiny, itty bitty little red laser at the back of Scamp's head, then acts innocent on Goannis' shoulder Did I mention I hate pets? Heh, I'm gonna like you, *mixes up more drinks to take out* Heh! * Scamp rubs his head Really? I love them, I might have one built * Chameleon disappears from view in the plaza, and knocks people over as he rushes over to Arashi's quarters. well, if you'll excuse me, I have things I need to take care of. But give me a call some time and we'll hook up, ok? * Goannis heads back out into the crowd How's your head? * Gearlock casually slips out of his quarters and meanders around the ship... I will most certainly do just that. * Spazz bleeps! and settles in on Goannis' shoulder * Arashi gets even more worried now. I'll be fine Y'sure? I can fix it up if y'need. Don't need any brain damage, y'know. * Waitstate nods amicably and steps over to where Lil is Ever since Phoenyx became part of the crew I had Dark Star fit me with a stronger head casing * Solder shrugs. You'll be the first one I think of when I need replacement parts * Gearlock goes to explore the strange ventral obs deck... * Scamp pats Solder on the shoulder Thanks! * Gearlock casually stares down through the transparent floor, looking mildly amused as he walks along... *To Lil* Busy night, eh? *doesn't look up* Watch where you step, there's explosives all over the floor. And we aren't even in port, weird huh? * Chameleon gets to Arashi's quarters. He takes out his meltas before walking in. He's still not visible. very I'm still not used to this * Slipstream finishes one of her demospheres and tosses it up and down for a bit, then makes it disappear into subspace and starts working on another one. * Arashi would be pissing himself at the sight of the door to his quarters opening and seeing noone there, if he was a fleshy. * Admiral-Lilwall passes a data pad with some specs and schematics on it oh boy, another proposition... heh Something for later when things have quietened down, meant to pass it on a few days ago what's this? * Gearlock hesitates as he was about to knock one of Spec's things away with a foot... ah... I see... But for now, 3 cab rides, thanks Waiter ;) ....a bit of an odd place to to be assembling demolitions, isn't it...? * Waitstate scans over it * Spazz looks down at whatever goannis is doin, his lens/eye turnin as it focuses The ship captain works the bar?! This place was almost the sanest thing we'd come across in a long while Heh, you haven't been out of quarters much then, have you If you'll excuse me, Scamp? * Chameleon looks around the quarters and spots both Starstorm and Arashi. "Hey Starstorm." He starts shooting Arashi a bit, then grabs him by the legs after he's fallen over "Bye Starstorm." * Chameleon starts to drag Arashi to medbay *chuckles* Good a place as any in this ship. Sure thing, talk to you later Not many people come here 'cos of the floor. Damned if I know why, heh. with this many around? the paperwork has been nuts so what is all this? Nevermind it for now Wait, business for busniess hours, :) Now.. about those cab rides..? * Gearlock stares down through the floor, not seeming the slightest bit uneasy... "Might have something to do with being stared at or something..." * Starstorm is just a little surprised at what just happened. She gets up from where she was seated and starts to chase after the Chameleon dragging Arashi. "What the slag are you doing? CHAM!?!!!!" * Solder gets up and makes his way over to Goannis. bah * Goannis hands out the drinks to the table of bots then turns to go back to the bar * Waitstate gets up and hits the opposite side of the bar Taking him to medbay, where he'll be safe... now that he's got a reason to be there. *moves as fast as he can* *chuckles* Just don't come in here if y'get vertigo, I guess. *starts picking up some of the parts scattered around her. * Gearlock chuckles slightly. "Vertigo is the last thing I worry about..." *grins* Seeing as you're a flier, I'd be worried if it wasn't. * Admiral-Lilwall's at a table away from the bar * Spazz watches the intricate workings of drink-pouring * Gearlock casually walks arond Slip and her assortment of demolitions parts... "...hobby of yours or something...?" * Slipstream constructs yet another demosphere, then tosses it casually up and down in one hand. "Yeah, y'could say that." *to Goannis* Hey, Miss... so what's the deal with that guy I was talkin' to, anyway? *flicks the demosphere at Gearlock* Think quick. Scamp? Heh. Robo sleeze with high thoughts of himself, he's harmless when not so naturally offensive I guess. Hope I'm around when he drinks that slime I poured for him, hehe ?! * Waitstate does stuff * Gearlock reaches out hastily to catch the demosphere in one hand, almost drops it, and catches it with the other. Heh heh! What was the, ah, slime? *chuckles* Nice catch. ...whew... ^_^; I have no idea, I just mixed together the worst tasting items and poured. Scared Phoenyx off, so it must be nasty primus, that was close... That one was only a smokesphere anyway, so it wouldna mattered if y'dropped it. :) Heh heh! * Chameleon eventually arrives in the medbay, still dragging Arashi and being followed by Starstorm. He decides to make himself visible shortly after walking in * Admiral-Lilwall continues talking with the two bots * Solder follows Goannis around for lack of anything better to do. * Gearlock sighs and hands back the little bomb. "I'm only partially relieved, really..." So you're new around here then? *mixes up some more drinks, almost crashing in Wait in the process* ... I didn't think anyone here on this ship was so combat-oriented... ... though I suppose a ship's got to have its defenses... * Waitstate helps out Goannis *chuckles and takes the sphere* Would you be more or less relieved if it was either an explosive one, a cryosphere, or a shrapnelsphere? Hello?... Got a patient for you! *starts to wander around medbay after dropping Arashi* Yep! Though, not a whole lot, really. I'm from that refugee ship! I just only recently started checkin' out the ship, tho. *grins* Well, I guess y'could say I'm more combat-orientated than most. Comes with the job description. * Starstorm continues to yell at Chameleon. * Spazz looks at Waitstate, beeping at him yeah, same with all the other ones too, hope we aren't this busy every night does this place see a lot of action then...? *shrugs* Sometimes. It's been rather quiet lately, compared to when I first joined. Thanks Wait *moves back out onto the floor* * Gearlock kneels down next to Slip. "Hand me the cryosphere, I've never really seen one close up before..." * Waitstate picks up a trayfull and goes with Goannis * Slipstream pops a cryosphere out of her forearm compartment and casually tosses it at Gearlock. * Chameleon laughs. He's mostly ignoring the verbal abuse he's recieving from Starstorm. * Gearlock catches it in one hand this time, prepared. ;) * Slipstream then makes sure Gearlock isn't kneeling on anything explosive. ;) Maybe medbay won't be so safe after all. No ones home! how long ago was that...? * Restore heads out to the mad area of Medbay What happened to him? ... cripes. At least half a year, maybe even a year or more by now. * Gearlock isn't that thick, of course he's not gonna step on stuff at this point >;) * Slipstream starts picking up all the random bits and pieces still lying around Uh.. accident. Purely self inflicted wounds. *tries not to laugh* Tactibot's word, right? * Gearlock inspects the cryosphere, being careful not to push anything on it by accident... Chameleon, you lying *******!!! * Waitstate takes the drinks to Lil part of the original crew, I'm guessing? Right. Ok, gimmie a little while. Hehehe! Hell no. there's a lot of outsiders around this place. * Restore starts work on Arashi Oh, Don't let Ghost near him either! Yeah, we've had a lot of newcomers lately... The brig is safer than this place as you well know, Chameleon. * Chameleon runs out of medbay before Starstorm can hurt him * All of Slipstream's spheres have at least three different trigger points that need to be depressed simultaneously before they're armed. * Gearlock smiles, still examining the little round bomb. "Where are you from?" *shrugs* Around. * Gearlock is always careful with stuff! * Waitstate sets down the drinks on Lil's table uh huh. How 'bout you? colony... before it got razed and all... I think Ghost'd rather find him in the brig, rather than here. Ah. Bummer that, aye? lost my job and livelihood and got stabbed by one of the cretins to boot, but I suppose I should be glad I'm safe here for the meantime. Heh, always look on the bright side. Either that, or just go insane. I've found both work. :) * Solder has taken up standing at one corner of the bar, just watching the crowd. * Starstorm waits somewhere in medbay I wouldn't mind doing both, really. I haven't really found anyone to sympathize with me, but I suppose blanking out and going crazy works. *chuckles* Well, in the short term it does anyway. :) But yeah, I can sympathise. * Gearlock smiles faintly. He hands the bomb back to Slip. * Slipstream takes it and flicks it back into subspace. So whaddya do for a living, mainly? * Chameleon runs into the ventral obs deck, then notices the little bomb bits everywhere. He has to jump over them to avoid them. Maybe its not a safe place to hide from a potentially angry Starstorm. Heya Cham. :) * Gearlock blinks, watching Cham run past... ...? Hiding from Ghost again? Ahh, a death trap! what was that? Hey Slip. That's Cham, resident lunatic Tactibot. :) Nah, Starstorm this time. Ah, heh.What've you done this time, oh sneaky one? * Chameleon waves at Gearlock. "We're all lunatics." * Gearlock raises a browplate. Then he smiles politely and waves back. ^_^ I shot up my little brother. It's all his idea! He needed somewhere to hide from Ghost! *rolls her optics* Okay, what'd HE do this time? *to Gearlock* Get used to this. All the Tactibots are insane. I have no idea how they manage to function when combined. I have no idea. He just wanted my help. ... uh huh. How dare you call poor deceased Novaburst insane! *laughs at the thought of an insane zombie novaburst* Well, okay, HE wasn't insane. * Solder wanders over to Wait. "Need any help in here?" And I was talking about all the ones alive at the moment, you crazybot. * Gearlock smirks faintly but says nothing for the moment. Go hide somewhere else, Cham, there's a good boy. I suggest Overwrite's office. She'd never think of looking in there, and you can torment Overwrite while you're at it. * Slipstream goes back to picking up all her demosphere bits. * Gearlock listens in on the crazytalk for now, hoping to learn something from it. Even if it's just more craziness. Uh.. why? Overwrite is scary in that whole small office assistant way. *shakes her head* You're such a wuss. Fine. Go hide in the bridge. You're duty crew, neh? Pretend your on duty or something. Star -probably- won't bother you then. Much. it's a pretty big ship, I'm sure you could lose him quite easily... Oh slag. Haha, I should have been up there a long time ago. Well there ya go. Whatever would y'do without me, Cham? *grins* Off I go to suffer Hyperion's wrath I guess. He's always up there. Crazy old bastard. G'won, shoo already. Before Hyperion eats your head or something. *laughs* I'd do many, many things. * Chameleon runs off Yeah, I bet he would. Crazyass bot. * Gearlock watches Cham take off. well, that was interesting. Heh, get used to it. That's about the general level of daily crazy, give or take. Tactibots, eh? combiners were always a weird sort. * Slipstream finishes picking up all her demosphere bits and stashes them away somewhere, then just leans back against the couch, tossing a demosphere from one hand to another. You got that right. All messed in the head, the lot of them. * Flashpoint walks in after barely missing a collision with Chameleon* "So true." *laughs* You more than any of 'em, dragondude! And don't bother denyin' it. *grins* * Gearlock blinks, having never seen Dia-- I mean, Flashpoint before. :) So who's this? *looking at Gearlock* This be Gearlock. I be Gearlock. Who you? If y'ever come across him when he's stuck in mid-transformation, just give him a good kick. ;) * Gearlock stands up to greet Flash more appropriately and extends a hand in greeting. :) just don't be too enthusiastic about it. *smirk* * Slipstream hears a little *crunch* as Gearlock stands up. "Oops, missed a piece..." * Gearlock blinks. He looks down. whoops. Was that important? Well, since it didn't explode and take your leg off or anything like that, probably not. :) Flashpoint, now. *Shakes Gearlock's hand* * Gearlock shakes Flash's hand and withdraws. "Now?" He used to be Diablo. Can't remember if he decided to be called anything else. *grins* * Waitstate goes around serving customers and being generally friendly * Download and Goannis continue to serve customers ahh... Hey Wait, thanks for the help out. Crowd's died down some so we can handle it from here if you like, * Slipstream finally decides to get up and stretches, joints popping and cracking and making all sorts of cool noises. * Waitstate stops you sure? hey, sounds like me sometimes. I'm sure I've likely been called other things before None of them worth repeating in polite company though, aye? yeah, if you wanted to * Admiral-Lilwall waves bye to the two bots as they leave his table to go elsewhere, and finishes whats left of his drink * Flashpoint nods. "Yeah, something along those lines." * Waitstate nods * Waitstate finishes his current rounds, then waves off to DL * Goannis cleans a few tables seeing how things are settling some, and all the customers are currently content * Admiral-Lilwall gets up and heads for the exit Get to to go home early, eh Wait? looks it, yeah not that I don't enjoy it now and again, but I have more important things I need to do. And don't think it doesnt pain me to say that. True, but good to take a break from those things for a while. I doubt much happened in the mean time anyway * Waitstate checks the ship's logs doesn't look like anything major anyway * Admiral-Lilwall walks out of the bar and strolls around the plaza * Waitstate walks alongside * Restore finishes work on Arashi and brings him online * Solder realizes how long he's been standing in a corner of the bar. * Gearlock chuckles so what do you do? Wonder how many other businesses will open up with all these new bots around now Seems like they're all out and about now for a change Had plenty of time to adjust though I guess yeah. It's kinda thrilling Wakey wakey, Arashi. How do you feel? Depends what you mean by do. :) Only took 5years or so, heh * Arashi slowly gets up* "Ugh, I've felt better." Remind me never to ask Cham for help. How long was I out for? * Solder waves to Goannis, then steps out into the Plaza and walks around. Not too long, almost an hour I guess * Goannis waves back err, did then. Before I joined LONAC? Lots of stuff. Racing was one of 'em. *grins* And not just your normal pansy "who's fastest" racing either. Ghost-Stalker didn't stop by, so whatever you did, I doubt you're out of it yet Argh, knock me out again, please!!! professional? You betchya. Battle racing. Sounds interesting. It definitely was, I can tell ya that. well, I will admit I had some rather... unrealistic goals originally. But it all worked out :) * Slipstream smirks tell me more about it... How 'bout I show ya instead? even better. *grins* Arighty then. To the sim rooms! You comin', dragondude? *couldn't be bothered remembering Diablo's new name* * Gearlock looks over at Flash as well. I'm surprised it took us this long. I figured with the war breaking into the neutral sectors we'd havea good number from teh get go Sure Sweet. *starts for the sim rooms!* fear maybe? or suspicion? who knows now that we've got a bunch of new bots though, they might spread good word to their friends elsewhere * Flashpoint follows! here's hoping! * Slipstream leads the others to the sim rooms! * Admiral-Lilwall wanders up to a lift and steps in * Waitstate lifts a glass of energon he pulled from seemingly nowhere as if to salute * Waitstate follows, drinking to it command deck. * Gearlock follows Slip arond! * lift begins to move, and in just a few seconds comes to astop and opens the doors, seeing how the command deck is only two levels away Surely you've got something here to knock me out for a while? *thinks a moment* Gah, the things she could do if I'm out of it though. It's all Firestorm's fault. * Slipstream arrives at the sim rooms! * Waitstate walks out and lets Lil resume the lead Right, here we are. You guys wanna join in or just watch? It would be nice to continue with sane civvie types coming in *heading towards conference room* * Solder arrives in Medbay. what, and miss the fun and excitement of me messing up somewhere in the middle of a demo? *chuckles* How 'bout you, dragondude? Go stay with Firestorm then She can't brain tickle you both at once, and you aren't staying here. Feel free to return if she does injure youthough :) I'm not all too skilled with my spacefigher mode... Guess it can't hurt though. As long as you don't try and trash me too much. Not TOO many. we wouldnt want to lose our edge *follow Lil inside* *smirks* Now would I do a thing like that? Yes, I guess insane gunfighters have their moments, heh You're no fun, Restore. Thanks anyway I guess. * Slipstream enters one of the sim rooms and flicks out a datadisk, then slots it into the sim computer Hmmm... something nice and easy for you newbies... Hey, Restore. Didn't know you had customers... * Waitstate chuckles * Arashi runs like hell out of medbay. We somehow always manage to get customers here, Solder, heh You know, outside of quarters, this is the best darned room in the ship *takes a seat and picks up a data pad from the pile on the table you think? how come? Never really got to see much battle racing. Was always too busy off doing something else with the other Tactibots back when we were with the 'Bots still. No one comes here, even if they do have clearance Ah, here we go. *loads up a sim* Arighty boys, take your positions ;) ahh... good reason Heh, you're about t'see some now, Flashy. ^_^ Of course, it doesn't beat the secret mini bar in your office. Don't deny it, you MUST have one, I'm sure of it Silly
