Shadowpaw.. they're mine * Blacknife sharpens his blades I really like the computer set up Well at least give the lady some! The comm system is independent of the main system, unless we need the extra channels for something, at which point the computer re-allocates them hmmm, ok. * Awol offers SP some energon snacks * Blacknife gazes around his quarters..and sighs I'm hopeing Avalon contacts me soon * Shadowpaw takes some "Thank you" the comp is a Terran design, tweaked by me :) thats good be my guest * Blacknife exits and heads to the bridge thats better * Shadowpaw sits down and munches on her energon snacks * Blacknife finds the two bots munching on Energon I'm really sorry about all the trouble Avalon and I caused nibbles a few snacks.. then notices Blacknife and looks worriedly at his few remaining snacks. * Waitstate sighs * Shadowpaw looks up at BK Uh oh... eh aren't we supposed ask for rations first? Did you have ANY idea she was going to be like that? uh.. ask for rations? oh right. yeah, ask for rations. yeah I did that. * Shadowpaw keeps quiet and looks at her hands * Blacknife gives Awol a look not really. Her program has the ability to evolve. * Awol looks at Shadowpaw You know it's going to cost you some to keep me silent well, I'd wager she was doing a lot of that * Shadowpaw looks at Awol "What u lookin at?" listen... I just used the Snack dispenser on the bridge.. don't get worked up * Awol grins * Blacknife grins You think? :) you're a shark Blacknife..

I'll go stand over here".. moves to controls heh does your sister know? not yet * Awol tries to change topic. "so.. where we headed?" Just call me Jaws * Blacknife places his blade over his head like a shark fin and hums the familiar Terran Tune I named the station that because their personalities were at one time similar * Blacknife draws closer and closer you weren't a decepticon in past life were you? * Awol hides behind ShadowPaw * Shadowpaw stands up and steps in between Awol and Blacknife * Blacknife draws closer and slices his blade right by Awol ahh Nothing ..much did they ever meet? BK!

He takes the sword and strolls over the BK and AWOL * Waitstate checks Status um, yeah... I'd better go... * Blacknife goes grab his blade I found something you lost. Take this elsewhere if it's going to get violent. * Awol faces no one in particular "this is what I get for eating energon snacks from a dispenser" I'll join you * Waitstate walks out of the room, then runs to the bridge * Ayreon runs after Waitstate, and trips over Dark Star * Awol nods to Lil and leaves to find some part of the ship that is more friendly Excuse me hey!

What are these, energon snacks?! * Awol finds some quiet part of ship and sits to look at stars sadly will someone tell me what happened here, or do I have to go check the bridge logs? grenades? *looks around* Oi vey no confetti... REAL grenades?! * Awol murmurs to himself. "maybe.. maybe, one day I'll fit in. Cyclonus, you may have been a jerk.. but you were right about me. I am trouble." I don't know ...I just sliced my blade by Awol and he gets a temper and people call *me* immature I was playing a shark Blacknife you started an argument over nothing! playing a shark? * Ayreon walks of the bridge in disgust * Awol spinds his leg tire thoughtfully, "ah well. Can't let it get to me" * Blacknife makes a motion with his blade and places it over his head * Blacknife slices it by Wait * Ayreon heads for the bar * Waitstate flinches I see... I see what happened now * Waitstate points to BK follow me And he just went ballistic * Waitstate goes to his office * Blacknife sighs * Shadowpaw smirks and follows Ayreon to the bar * Awol continues talking to himself, "made a fool of myself last time. scared myself witless with that Avalon comp. Don't know what the guys must have thought of me." * Ayreon gets himself a drink * Blacknife follows Wait * Blacknife enters now then... you were mock attacking AWOL? * Ayreon looks towards the jukebox Yah SP and Awol were chowing down on Snacks and I was given them a hard time Awol called me a shark * Awol stares back out to space blankly. "twinkling little stars. tell me little star. Am I crazy?" then after that ..boom Like my blade triggered a fuse in that bot * Ayreon walks over and begins playing Apocolyptica's "Fade To Black" I think I need to send out some rules concerning bridge behavior * Awol chuckles to himself.."don't answer that." Long overdue *to Awol* Hey 'bot, where you at? Yeah well I guess Awol is still affected by that Avalon Maybe I might be too..since I argued back I think everyone is stressed * Blacknife nods * Awol does not answer for a while.. * Ayreon pages Awol again "you there?" * Waitstate calls up his internal main daemon and sends the new bridge rules to everyone yeah, sorry Ayreon. lost in my sorrows. whats the matter? and I hate to point out you might have added salt to the boiling water by adding Ayreon to the roster *to Awol* you want a drink? How is that? I guess I could do with one. .... *to Awol* I'm in the bar If Awol acts like that to a joke *to Ayreon* I'll meet you there in a minute. thanks * Ayreon geta a drink for Awol and waits Imagine what might happen if Ayr brings up Avalon Avalon is not Ayreon's fault. * Ayreon takes off his new emblem and looks it over * Shadowpaw walks into the bar and sees Ayreon looking at his emblem I know he knows...but what I saw of Awol's personality programming today he might not * Awol meets Ayreon in the bar.. seeing him looking over his new emblem. As he joins him at the table, he looks at his own new emblem too. * Ayreon toasts to the air "To new beginings" and downs his drink AWOL will adjust soon enough *to self* I hope * Awol takes his glass and nods, before taking a sip. * Ayreon hands Awol a drink You OK? It's a new environment... it takes getting used to :) yeah sure. * Shadowpaw gets a drink herself and quietly joins Ayreon and Awol Well..I hope you sure? * Blacknife tries to see if Wait is thinking the same *to SP* hi I guess. Just trying to settle in I guess at any rate, we should all relax for a while *to SP* hey. :) Hey. * Waitstate activates internal PA, not realizing the redundancy of his announcement * Shadowpaw looks at Awol Yeah a little R and R wouldn't hurt "All active duty personell, please report to the Bar" * Ayreon replaces his emblem and gets himself another drink Don't take what BK was doin just before seriously, he's like that sometimes. R and R is pretty much all we get here although nothing named Avalon, Paradise I guess I mistook BK. I don't know everyone well enough. or any vacation spot that's too perfect heh C'mon, lets go get pleasently intoxicated :) Don't worry Awol, we all take a little getting used to why's BK like that? I used to get flack for doing little things like that when I was with the 'cons Sounds fun.. I guess I saw something that reminded me of them in him * Waitstate head to the lift well, none of us are 'cons or 'bots anymore * Blacknife follows Wait * Shadowpaw nods in agreement with Ayreon Deck 5 * lift hums yeah. paranioa kicks in. I still feel like an outsider. I guess I still am. my best friend is a 'bot, but I'd never join them * Awol nods. I know some good bots Should I keep my eye on those two just in case Wait? * Blacknife fidgets by his swords naa... we should let it evolve on it's own * Waitstate arrives at the Bar hey everyone!

I was too tight to realise. Excuse me Wait... fill at your leisure * Blacknife gets up grabs his sabres and leaves hastily cool, thanks * Blacknife grumbles more to himself 'salt in the water...' I didn't realise he was just being silly. Had stuff on my mind. Still on my mind. I don't like having stuff on my mind. * Awol looks like he's tongue twisted Well, BK can get much the same way don't worry about it :) * Awol looks at the instant coma again * Blacknife goes down the lift again * Shadowpaw smiles at Awol It's a drink *to Awol* calm down. its OK. * Awol grins, "yeah.. it's ok.

Uhm, get back to your quarters * Blacknife watches as the two Seekers are caught by the Autobot forces... * Ayreon heads for the back * Awol slumps tiredly in his chair. * Waitstate quietly brings along some HE and some beer this bar is so great ShadowPaw. Yeah it is Excellent job..do you know how powerful that stuff is * Ayreon enters the back room and waits for Waitstate * Blacknife glares at Autobot... * Waitstate sits down in the private lounge in the back room, motioons for Ayr to do the same reminds me... of .. some place I don't quite remember.. yet it's there.. in the back of my processor.. * Ayreon sits down You mean this is why you didn't tell me what the cargo was? * Awol smiles, but looks somehow vacant Now then... what's up? she's gone Wait, Avalon's gone............ Awol... I think we better get you back to your quarters * Blacknife sees a spark eminate from the Transport Seeker 1's outlying circuitry I'm ok. I want to stare at the stars a little longer Avalon? Gone? what? * Blacknife shuts down Awol - OK, sure. Just stay here and stare at the stars... don't move, OK? The message I got was from Ytsejam. He is at the site where Avalon's station was at, and reported only debris remained * Awol smiles dreamily, "hmmmmhmmmm"... *somewhat horrified* Oh gosh... was it an attack? something happened after we left, and her power core detonated *Internal Comp* Shut down achieved full program back on-line in 1 cycle * Admiral-Lilwall enters the bar and sits with the rest of the group Ytse thinks it was an imbalance caused by forcing us away * Shadowpaw wonders what's going on in Awol's mind as she walks back to the bar. * Shadowpaw looks at AL and glances at Awol "totally drunk." * Blacknife gets back up as one cycle passes The only thing he was able to retrive from the wreckage was Avalon's primary datacore Always the same no matter how I play it * Blacknife sighs * Waitstate is dumbfounded *breaking down* she's gone Wait.....she's gone............ Comp End Program Ultra Access BwaKV * Ayreon begins sobbing * Waitstate sees the odd sight of a robot crying * Blacknife exits the holodeck c'mon... get off your body and out of the suit... you'll feel better * Blacknife goes back up the turbo lift * Blacknife enters the bar ...again I miss anything? Emotion is a tricky thing... you can deal with it better in your natural form * Ayreon takes Waitstate's advice, and reverts to human form Not much *quietly* thanks let's go back to your quarters... we can take the back exit Uh oh, there goes Wait and the fleshy * Ayreon follows Waitstate out of the bar care for a lift? It looks like Awol is too drunk to take an apology * Blacknife looks at the bot with a chuckle yeah, thanks * Shadowpaw nods at BK * Waitstate carries Ayr to his quarters I'll get your body back here later will my body be OK back there with BK? What was that all about with Ayreon? I locked the lounge door. it'll be fine that's good * Waitstate puts Ayr down once we get to his quarters * Blacknife looks at SP let's go inside and talk * Admiral-Lilwall decides to wander the ship, so exits the bar * Ayreon enters his room, and gestures Waitstate inside * Waitstate comes in, sits down, and sets out the drinks he brought you two were... very close, weren't you? she was like a child to me, and a lover I made her what she was perhaps the drunken one may answer better she grew, and returned my affection * Blacknife looks at Awol Hey twinkletoes...Do you know what's going on with Ayreon? so you two really WERE close... * Ayreon sits down on his bed * Awol is mildly snoozing.. it its possible for a robot I've... never been that close to someone in a sense, yes * Blacknife doesn't get the answer from the drunken asleep bot but I think I know what it would be like to lose them * Artifice exists the bar * Blacknife looks at SP again What happen with Ayr? I can... only imagine how you must feel right now You talkin' to me? yes I used her as a way to explore myself. Losing her is like losing a part of myself OK.. Awol is so drunk he's asleep So I'm talking to you I dunno what happened... He got a msg on his private comm and went to see it. Then came back and was really upset. I dunno what happened Ytsejam has no idea why her core exploded, but he thinks it had to do with us * Blacknife thinks * Ayreon begins to cry again I am so very sorry... There's only one thing that could upset that one * Admiral-Lilwall aimlessly wanders around the corridors on deck two Something happened to that little woman base of his * Waitstate tries to think of a way to comfort Ayreon... Yeah... you're right. That's the only thing that would upset him so much... *breaking up* my only hope right now is that Avalon's datacore is intact * Waitstate, not for the first time, curses his robotic body... Ytse won't know for a few days * Ayreon sends a silent command to his body in the bar * Waitstate slumps in his chair, a mix of frustration, sadness, and guilt filling his mind So...Wait probably took him and had a little chat with him * Ayreon has his headless body leave the bar * Blacknife sees the headless body walk out What's that?! * Shadowpaw looks in shock It looks like Ayreon without his head! Uuh.... He's a HeadMaster! * Blacknife is forgetful due to drink * Shadowpaw looks at BK "You are so right!" oh yeah darn memory banks * Admiral-Lilwall is standing in the lift going back to his quarters when the lift stops and the doors open. In walks a headless Ayreon and the lift continues erm... * Shadowpaw grins and stands up to get herself another drink forget something did we? * Admiral-Lilwall chuckles to himself *the headless body shrugs* * Blacknife quickly thinks and formulates Wait, you didn't cause this hehe none of us did, directly * Waitstate half sighs, half growls * Admiral-Lilwall watches as the body exits the lift..."Don't hit your head on the low ceilings" the doors close and lift continues but... I feel responsible... something was wrong with Avalon maybe I shouldn't have reacted so extremely... * Ayreon wipes his face off * Waitstate pulls a tissue seemingly from nowhere * Waitstate hands it to Ayr thanks * Admiral-Lilwall stands outside his quater's door and decides to keep walking down the corridor to the observation lounge Um looks like we get forklift duty * Blacknife points at Awol I don't think there was anything we could have done * Ayreon tears up again *quietly* I just wish I could have said "goodbye" or should we just leave the bot her here * Awol snoozles * Waitstate starts feeling REALLY guilty can I be alone for a little while Wait? * Blacknife puts a few grenades on Awol so he gets confettied when he wakes up * Waitstate is suddenly embarassed * Blacknife chuckles uh, yeah... Hehe * Shadowpaw grins at BK can I do anything for you? * Waitstate stumbles up out of his seat it's OK man. I just need to wait for Ytsejam's report thanks.................for everything yeah... If you need anything... * Waitstate steps to the door * Waitstate looks back, then leaves * Awol mumbles in snooze, "you are sooo... zzzzzzz.... hmm. beuatiful" * Waitstate passes a headless body walking down the corridor * Blacknife looks at Awol with a raised brow * Waitstate says "Hi" Why is he looking at you SP? * Shadowpaw looks at Awol strangely, hoping that she isn't the one he's dreaming about... * Ayreon has his headless body return to his room * Shadowpaw looks at BK worriedly You don't think....? * Blacknife chuckles * Waitstate does a doubletake just in time to see the body disappear into Ayr's quarters Well I hope to Primus he's not looking at me So it must be you Unless he's THAT drunk Uuh... I think I'm gonna go back to my quarters... * Blacknife shudders * Blacknife chuckles profusely * Shadowpaw stands up and walks out of the bar towards the lift * Blacknife pats SP on the back before she goes * Blacknife grins beneath his faceplate *mutters under her breath* Now what a bad thought that is... * Ayreon looks out his viewport 5 4 3 2 1 *quietly to himself* why....................... * Blacknife can imagine the confetti grenade going off * Awol mutters in his snooze "I miss you Charr" *screaming* WHY?! GODDAMMIT, WHY?! *quietly, breaking down into tears* why.............................. * Blacknife looks at Awol in suprise So he's a former Decepticon * Blacknife looks around ...everyone is gone but him and Awol eh ..look kid ...about what I did back there * Blacknife looks around again I'm sorry hehe * Ayreon reverts to his headmaster form and rejoins his body * Ayreon leaves his room and heads for the holodeck * Awol is hardly conscious... but mubles something. "no... you purple freak.. NO" * Ayreon enters the holodeck * Blacknife's lightbulb goes on as his processes begin to return to normal oh yeah that's right Must not have that double again computer, access standard battle simulation, and begin But at least I'm not off as bad as this poor bot * Ayreon begins trashing the holodeck *to self* at least Ayr is finding an outlet for his emotions... * Blacknife looks at the confetti grenades and laughs * Blacknife leaves Awol to himself and goes down the lift again * Blacknife looks for Wait * Blacknife thinks faster noww [comm] Oh Wait? [comm] yeah? * Admiral-Lilwall is in the observation lounge... "Computer, eta to destination?" 3 days, 4 hours, 16 minutes [comm] I heard about Ayr...is it what I think? *sigh* that all [comm] What exactly did you hear? * Ayreon blows the doors off the holodeck "FUCK!" now I gotta fix this * Admiral-Lilwall sighs and makes way to the bridge, hoping it's still in one reasonable piece [comm] Ehh I always keep my sources secret * Admiral-Lilwall is nearly wiped out by the holodeck doors whoa pal..you're on our side remember? you ok? oh, sorry [comm] But I know the only thing that could make Ayr that ticked off not really An explosion has occured on deck 6, in the holodeck damn! listen, BK... we can talk later I have to handle something quite alright....not often I have the chance to get creamed by an angry door, anything I can do to help? I know quite a bit about human behaviour * Waitstate runs out the door [comm] never mind I heard...I was right um, could you help me fix the door? *quietly* then the holodeck? *to BK, annoyed* whatever! heh, leave it, I'll get a maintenance bot up here * Waitstate arrives at the holodeck the holodeck?! * Admiral-Lilwall peers inside oh my.. oh, man... Um, are you *sure* there's something I can't help you with Ayreon? Wait, I'm sorry. I was just trying to blow off some steam It's seem the water just got done boiling I need to work this out on my own Lil, but thanks * Blacknife mutters to himself You must have been using live ammo or something to damage the holodeck... um, live force cannons.............. geez... I'll fix the damage [comm SP] I was right ConfettiPaw * Waitstate momentarily forgets about Ayreon's recent loss as he assesses the damage... This'll take WEEKS to fix... No, I think you should go take it easy for awhile, the Observation lounge perhaphs [comm SP] Avalon must've bit the big one or something close to it * Admiral-Lilwall nudges Wait and pretends to 'clear his throat' *quietly* fuck I'm sorry guys * Waitstate looks up at Lil, still oblivious * Blacknife thinks to himself..with the rather stressful memories still running through I've been there Ayreon, it's alright. Look, go relax for awhile, think things over. But keep away from the Bar alright? *comm BK* Really? That's bad... Poor Ayreon... Oh, AND NEVER PUT A CONFETTI GRENADE ON MY BACK AGAIN! all right * Blacknife chuckles profusely * Ayreon looks at whats left of the holodeck, and leaves quietly * Admiral-Lilwall walks into the once holodeck as Ayreon leaves [comm SP] How about a kick sign? * Blacknife chuckles more [comm BK] How about I lock *you* in the broom closet? * Ayreon heads for the observation lounge slowly * Admiral-Lilwall surveys the damage and waves his hand across Wait's face "Wake up boss, he'll be alright comm SP Why I never knew SP [to self] ...emitter diodes... secondary transmitter array... format translator... huh? Lil? oh, Hi * Blacknife rolls on the floor laughing out loud He? oh... damn. * Waitstate suddenly realizes that Ayr must feel even worse now :/ Ugh, listen Wait, it doesn't take a professor to figure out what's with Ayreon. And by the looks of it you feel responsible. Well you're not, you did what you thought was best for the ship. No one can blame you for it But I should have DONE something... * Blacknife heads for the bridge Hmmm *kicks some debris on the floor* quite a bit of damage....it will take weeks to mend. *turns back to Wait* Done what? NOT sever the link? Allow what you didn't want to continue? I KNOW I could have done something... I should have just tried harder... * Ayreon stops at the observation lounge, then heads for the bridge Oh what a load of turboworm sludge. That's what everyone says after something bad happens. It's pointless and nothing can be done about it If Ayreon had blamed you for any of this he'd have tried to slag you ages ago * Admiral-Lilwall walks to the other side of the room and picks up a smashed console observing it * Waitstate sighs heavily You're right... I know you're right. I just can't help it :/ * Blacknife sees Ayr enter Something I learned some time ago Wait is that blaming yourself for something that wasn't your fault is natural. But natural as it is, it's rather pointless. * Ayreon sees Blacknife I see you didn't lose your head completly after all or did you *sigh* * Blacknife looks at Ayreon with a sharp glance Ayreon will be fine. Just give him time to recover, and above all else keep him away from the Bar what? Good advice Lets get started on this mess? * Waitstate hunts for an open (and functional) access port Oh please I heard about the holo incident and the one before that So... What's your point asshole? * Admiral-Lilwall nods and clearing debris away looking for a clear piece of floor "He's much like me some ways...more ways than you'll ever know or understand. Trust me, he'll turn out fine." * Waitstate jacks in, clears away some static, and starts the nanobots to work on the microcircuitry * Awol snoozes Are you okay now? or what? * Blacknife states coldly it's none of your concern Blacknife, so slag off!! Oh really, like this whole ship hasn't figured out what happened You can't shove it away.. I'll do whatever the hell I want! Just leave me alone! * Ayreon walks over to the science station Are you sure the holodeck was enough or did you just come here for something else * Admiral-Lilwall looks over a piece of wall from the holodeck It's funny how you came to find me...didn't you * Blacknife looks at Ayr *joking* find an undamaged part? * Awol is glad he is sleeping.. but voices get any louder 'den he be waking up what are you getting at?! I know your Terran and terrans love to pin the blame on someone I started this whole mess. I was the first supsicious one *jokingly sarcastic* yeeeah....this part doesn't have any scorches on it ;) what part is it? What the hell are you talking about?! I'm pretty sure you feel I'm partly responsible for whatever happened to Avalon *jokingly sarcastic* I could be mistaken....but I do believe it's a piece of wall! :D * Ayreon glares at Blacknife Funny Lil Funny Well? Hi everyone And just what the hell happened to Avalon Blacknife? I try.....so..how many maintenance bots you think it's gonna take? She's either dead or out for quite awhile * Cirrus looks up from the comm station Hi Shadowpaw, how's it going? Judging by your reaction No idea... Oh geez... And what business is it of yours? Huh? What the hell do you care?! I just need to know if you still need a little steam blown off...I certainly do * Blacknife pulls out his blades No holodeck *quietly, over comm, to Wait* We have a situation up here! A little sword play? * Blacknife gives Ayr a blade slag off Blacknife. Better yet, go sit on your swords * Ayreon hands it back * Waitstate looks to Lil * Admiral-Lilwall looks over to Wait... "trouble?" * Blacknife shrugs *sadly* It never ends Fine * Blacknife takes the blade back * Waitstate summons Recoil, and heads to the bridge * Waitstate and Recoil arrive on the bridge * Admiral-Lilwall laughs... if it ever did end Waitstate....we wouldn't get fun jobs like this *motions to the mess around him* The water's going to boil again though Ayr...let me know when you're ready * Admiral-Lilwall follows to the bridge * Admiral-Lilwall also arrives Do you two have a problem? * Blacknife sees the big cheeses enter No * Shadowpaw gets bored in her quarters... * Blacknife leaves He does, I don't [comm Wait] Hey, where is all? * Blacknife more to himself 'not yet' Great... GREAT! I came here to check the sensor logs of the sector, and Blacknife challenges me to a fight * Admiral-Lilwall watches BK disappear down the corridor I can't take this anymore I just... can't! * Shadowpaw gets no answer so returns to the bar He thinks I blame him for Avalon's explosion * Waitstate leaves the bridge just like you do Wait explosion? you know it was an explosion * Shadowpaw finds the bar abandoned... except for Awol - snoozing. * Waitstate starts to head to the holodeck, then remebers the damage * Waitstate heads to the workshop instead yes, Avalon's power core exploded Oh man... Ayreon... uh.. go about whatever it was you were doing.... *runs after Wait* * Ayreon returns to the science console * Shadowpaw walks up to Awol and smacks him "Oi, Wake up." Thanks Cirrus I just didnt want anyone to get hurt... * Awol shoots up and confetti explodes WOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHH OH NO * Shadowpaw runs away, remembering the grenades Hey....HEY! *catches up with Wait* Slow down..... * Shadowpaw grins I was seeing stars.. now it's confetti what do you want? wow.. what a offline system dump 'Morning, Awol. Sleep well with your beautiful... uh, whoever you were dreaming about? *to Cirrus* I know, thanks. I don't want to fight right now. Maybe never again * Waitstate doesn't stop walking What I want is to keep this rig together that's what why? so everyone can kill each other? For crying out loud Wait...no one expects you to be the galaxy's best commander... but * Waitstate stops, turns to face Lil dreaming? me? don't run away from your problems heh... * Ayreon works the console I wasn't sleeping .. honest. I was meditating Uh, yeah. You were muttering in your sleep... *quietly* .........nothing............. Yes you, 'bot Running away isn't going to solve anything Lil, I think the dream is dying I'm not sure I can do it anymore muttering.. *gulps*... muttering what? * Ayreon jumps as his internal comm beeps Then fight for it! Running away is letting it die! I ran from my problems... my fears once before... it's just not worth it * Ayreon quietly answers his personal comm Well... let's see. You muttered something about someone being beautiful and you missed Charr. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did?... gee.. * Ayreon transforms and flies off the bridge There's an old human saying..."run away to live another day" this whole thing was about peace... we seem to have less of that than before we started Yeah you did So... who exactly is this Charr ? I'm searching memory banks.. I don't think they log dreams. * Blacknife heads for the bar you can't expect things to come easily Wait Charr? thats where we Decepticons hung out for a while * Ayreon transforms back to robot mode but continues to fly through the ship that human saying is so wrong! if we run away there might not be another day to live * Blacknife enters and sees confetti * Blacknife chuckles if you give up on the dream......it will only die because of that Ooooo yeah.......... sorry, I guess my drinks aren't exactly settled yet. * Shadowpaw sits down Mornin' Sunshine *looks at Awol* *to Lil* just... help me remember that? You know I will. Not a chance in hell you'll ever forget when I'm here * Ayreon comes upon Waitstate and Admiral Lilwall arguing in the corridor * Ayreon tackles Waitstate in midair "SHE'S ALIVE!" * Admiral-Lilwall watches Wait go down Hey ConfettiPaw who? what? alive? SHE'S ALIVE! AVALON'S ALIVE! *forgetting about Wait* Alive? * Shadowpaw glares at BK *pushes Ayr off him* * Admiral-Lilwall picks Ayreon up off Wait and helps them both to stand what do you mean, "alive"? yeah! Avalon's datacore was fully intact and functional! SHE'S ALIVE! Ayreon....slow down...now, Avalon is alive? Her core is intact? *sighs* that's the best news I've heard all day * Waitstate brightens considerably HER PERSONALITY PROGRAM IS FULLY INTACT! SHE'S OFFLINE BUT SHE STILL EXISTS! * Blacknife glares back at SP yesssss? erm... Ayreon, I know how incredibly excited you are...but if you don't stop bouncing up and down like that there's gonna be a hole in the floor *awkward as it is, Wait does his best to hug Ayr in happiness, or something* * Ayreon tries to calm himself * Blacknife decides to go back down the lift since the bar is no fun * Blacknife walks around the ship * Blacknife manages to bump into the trio *happily* Hi Bk! Blacknife. * Blacknife looks confused at the happy greeting Eh...hello Ytsejam just contacted me. He told me his preliminary scan of Avalon's datacore inadvertantly came into contact with her personality program. It was fully intact! She was offline, but functional! oh Avalon is ALIVE! Good, glad to hear it So just what can you do with it? err... her? Ytsejam thinks he can place her datacore in a cybertronian body Um about that little challenge...I was blowing a bit of steam myself back there .... * Blacknife looks down a bit in shame * Awol meanders around the tables in the bar He won't know until he returns to his workshop on Cybertron I never usually let my emotion program take over like that Tell him to rendevouz with us here! *looking at Blacknife* I know, that's why I didn't accept it we have a full.. hehe... "body shop" :D Restore could build a body for her here on the ship * Blacknife gives Ayr a knowning look.. At least one of us had our heads today Er... strike that * Blacknife chuckles at the in joke *To Waitstate* He's heading for Cybertron as we speak. He has a body almost finished for a friend * Awol wonders where everyone is whoa whoa whoa Are we talking about putting Avalon in a body .....Here? * Blacknife gives Wait a surprised look What? Ytsejam has one almost finished on Cybertron, but I can't see why he wouldn't be able to finish things here * Blacknife steps back Eh.. * Awol sets off in search of the crew * Blacknife gives wait a big stare But Cybertron is weeks away... We can fix her program Blacknife don't worry * Admiral-Lilwall gives BK a look that says "for crying out loud....not now" you don't know Ytsejam :) * Blacknife glances at Ayr you're right, I don't * Blacknife looks at AL Enlighten me? I believe this conversation would carry better somewhere other than a corridor? * Awol finds them in the corridor Beside detonating his pwercore on 3 seperate occasions, he's one of the Autobot's more "Creative" scientists hey guys He can walk * Waitstate looks around hi Awol It's a miracle! * Awol rubs metal head yeah... there's a lounge done the hall back to the bar? um maybe not for Awol there * Waitstate gives Lil a Meaningful Look I've just been in the bar.. how about soemwhere else? hehe You all have heard of Wheeljack's exploits havn't you? I vaguely recall the name Eh, how couldn't we have? yeah... guy was a legend Ytsejam is worse! he made the dinobots or something? * Admiral-Lilwall nods at Wait, :) * Ayreon beams wow... 'worse'? man.. man, those big lizards are huge. * Blacknife looks at Awol curiously lets go to the bar... 'cept AWOL, who should go to the infirmary ;) He's rebuilt himself so many times he can't remember his original form! You ok? really.. hey. I remember hearing about an Alpha Triopticus.. or soemthing.. who helped the bots hundreds of years ago are the two related? ?? what did you serve him Wait? Alpha Trion. And no they weren't [to comm] Hey Restore? AWOL drank an "instant Coma" way too fast... can you come get him? * Awol shrugs. "hey it was something I heard. I had an interest in history.. but I didn't revise..." I'm okay Wait. What's eating you? Most likey those lizards of yours I don't like infirmarys. BK, they're called Dinobots. and they're mean. Sorry boss, but the best cure for that is to sleep it off, I'm afriad I'm too small to punch his lights out so what are you guys in a frenzy about? *to Blacknife and Awol* Are you to going to be OK if Avalon is brought here? I know who the Dinobots are [comm] hehe... ok then. I'll get him to his quarters Avalon? did I miss something? Do you want a blunt answer or the sugar coated version? She may be joining us joining us? yeah, as a transformer I guess it will give me a chance to apologise to her Eh...you guys...let's try and stay happy for the rest of this day ok? * Ayreon glances at Lil I will * Blacknife looks at AL then Wait.. I think my processor was suffering from my flight from the 'cons before I joined. it's been eating at me ever since I'm not the one in charge so...whatever they decide * Blacknife quickly leaves whats with him? so whats with this robot form thing? Eh, that's the way he is * Awol looks at everyone I thought she was a computer? * Admiral-Lilwall motions for the conversation to move onto the bar (or lounge or where ever it is we're going * Awol suggests the lounge * Waitstate heads to the lift to deck 5 Avalon's station exploded, but her datacore survived undamaged. A friend of mine is going to try and adapt her core to a cybertronian body exploded? how? when? [Comm Wait] Eh...just remember one thing about her...she broke your systems she can break that fixers long story long story... but I was only offline for a little while? hey.. I'm missing something here.. you missed *a lot* * Awol's chatter dies down as they relate the story * Waitstate patently ignores BK, knowing full well what Avalon-the-station could do and thats whats going on wow... I missed the action yeah * Awol smiles * Blacknife comes back I'm still willing to fix the holodeck, Wait hey... this confetti is sticky * Admiral-Lilwall sighs at BK's remarks, then whispers to Wait with heavy joking sarcasm "You always said you wanted a challenge in your life...you're commanding it now." * Blacknife chuckles Magnetically charged confetti Ayreon. I'm sorry about any trouble I caused you and Avalon. I'm glad to hear she's ok. but why is it slimy? * Awol picks strips of confetti off him piece by piece eh...that's your drool Ayr, naa... we'll take care of it Awol, no problem *quiet to Lil* I never said that :P :D I'm going to snack on some energon.. Any one else care for some? oh no here we go again... I drool in my sleep. Oh please... isn't that what started this day? * Awol picks of the last of the confetti. * Admiral-Lilwall whispers to Wait again "no, but I know you've thought. ;) still wanna run away?" I don't.. drinking makes me hungry I've got a stash of Stardrive's gormet energon snacks somewhere... You also dreamt of ShadowPaw in your sleep Awol It's not intoxicating... just good :) * Ayreon laughs * Blacknife chuckles no way. Apparently I was remembering charr... uh.. yeah.. * Admiral-Lilwall shakes his head at awol and chuckles isn't she a little young for you? *quiet to Lil* things are perhaps looking up? :) who? Shadowpaw what about her.. where is she? * Awol looks around *quiet to Wait* and if you'd run away... you'd still feel miserable, take life as it comes boss. Trust me... or Ayreon for that matter... don't waste it *quiet to Lil* You know me far too well :) * Awol accepts the gormet energon snack... having found some stashed * Waitstate shoos AWOL away from behind the counter sorry Wait. * Waitstate takes his place, smiling hunger gets the best of me. no need... :) I'll do anything to get 'em and feel no regret *quiet to Wait* can't help it. besides, if you leave -I- have to run things... fat chance buddy *evil grin* hey Awol! Pick a key, will you?! *quiet to Lil* hehe... I shudder at the thought ;) * Awol admires the energon snack.. "I want it so bad I can taste it" *to wait* me too :D * Ayreon leaves the bar to get his laser guitar hmmmm, energized just right.. soo... before AWOL finishes them off, would enyone like an energon snack? * Awol opens his metal mouth and drops the snack in * Awol chews delighted eh, I'll pass oh silicon heaven.. I be knocking at your gates.. if I died now.. I wouldn't be happier * Blacknife takes one * Waitstate takes one and wonders when Stardrive will be back... * Ayreon returns with his guitar You play? * Ayreon plays a sour chord mbmbmbmmmm.. ahem.. *chomp* *chomp* *swallow* ... excuse me there.. I'm glad things have worked out. thats Awol's key hehehe oh very amusing * Ayreon plays a riff that would make Eddie van Helan wet the bed those laser guitars are going out of fashion.. they're so last week Thats *the correct* key eh...that's great stuff Ayreon...but uh, not my type of stuff none the less. I'll be on the bridge *exits* Well I can't play my nylon stringed guitar in this form, and this one has a better range I wouldn't mind some "Auto-bop"... Excuse me all but I must retire * Waitstate pulls out some guitar tabs for some tunes by some long-dead guy named "Stan Bush" * Blacknife departs for his quarters try this :) why's everyone leaving? hehe * Ayreon looks over the tabs pretty simple Try "Ground Zero"... It's an old fave of mine :) there's an old terran band called Spectre General.. lets see how good this jukebox's collection is * Ayreon begins playing "Ground Zero" flawlessly Ground Zero.. oh yeah.. I remember that. it was an terran tribute to us Tformers Awol: try looking under "Kick Axe" how come? * Admiral-Lilwall returns to the bridge to see Lightning, Cirrus, Diamond Fire and Recoil on the bridge. Lightning is at a console ignoring the others who are having idle conversation with each other about all sorts of topics Odd stuff with legalities... I filed all their stuff together * Awol neural processor is still a little slurred from the instant coma * Ayreon throws in a riff from "Enter Sandman" by Metallica Evening Bots.... really.. heh.. you know your stuff Wait. I'll give you that Hey boss :) * Awol finds them under Kick Axe.. and smiles triumphantly. what can I say? I'm a perfectionist :) hey.. here's a good one. "Nothing's Gonna Stand in Our Way".. could be LONAC's theme eh, save that for the grey one, 'just call me Al' ;) Heh... "The Grey One"... I like that :) * Ayreon begins playing "Impact 1: Fate Speaks" by Explorers Club hey.. what's Michael Jackson doing in here? I thought his stuff was banned after the court case... man that was all over the galactic air waves * Ayreon looks at Waitstate and smiles as he looks wide-eyed at Ayreon hey, Michael Jackson was a brilliant artist heh? that's right.. I kept mistaking him for something else. Heh.. terrans look the same to me As a lover of Terran music, I couldn't not include him very funny what about some Classic Cybertronian? *to himself* of course he did change his skin color seven times......... March of the Guardians I never aquired a taste for it personally... but there are a few selections * Ayreon shifts into "Primus' sixth symphony" * Awol stumbles over. ooh * Awol clutches head. think I have what they term a hangover I TOLD you... go to bed or something yeah. I'll take you up on that advise * Ayreon grins and chuckles to himself me? I wish I could Session Close: Sun Oct 11 05:20:02 1998
