Session Start: Sun Mar 07 13:58:19 1999 * Waitstate turns to Restore * Diablo wishes he wasn't stuck in a cell Bring them out of sedation make sure they stay restrained though As you wish sir. Skysiren, restrain them while I bring them around * SkySiren quickly walks over to the prisoners and puts the max restraints on the prisoners. She looks at them then at Cuffs "What did they do?" she whispers * Shadowpaw is in her quarters Betrayed us. *brings them out of sedation* * SkySiren optics widen "Betrayed?" *to Skysiren* I'll pass my report to you later * SkySiren steps back from the prisoners and nods her head * Diablo feels really tired they are coming around sir. *stands guard beside the cell* * Diablo slowly looks round the place * Chameleon slowly opens his optics * Waitstate stands in the center of the room, arms crossed and staring at the two * SkySiren stands at attention * Admiral-Lilwall arrives in the brig with Recoil you woke them up, how did they sleep? * Stardrive arrives at the brig. * Artifice arrives too * Waitstate waits for a reaction You should've just kicked these guys off the ship * Diablo stares straight ahead Unfortunatly I agree with him Wait. * Recoil nudges Artifice and glares at Lil. Not that he doesn't agree * Waitstate stares straight back Well? What's with you guys anyhow? *implicates Diablo and Chameleon* I admit, even I thought you were trust worthy * Stardrive leans against the wall. *to Diablo* Answer them I'm fine, I was just protecting my friend * SkySiren keeps her eyes on the prisoners ready in case they try to break free Then what's with your friend? No you weren't, that was not protecting anything as for Chameleon, I have no idea what he was trying to do When someone invades the ship, you're supposed to help US, not the invader! You attacked us. *said with intense anger* Alright Diablo, let's cut straight to the point, if you want to stay in LONAC, you had better have a damn good reason why we shouldn't boot you both out into space let me do some tests on Chameleon if what I think has happened, he has contracted what the probe did to me the last time Hyperion was formed * Waitstate is vaguely annoyed that his interrogation has become so public Tests on *him*? I'd rather have Restore do some tests on you first fine, have her do tests on me all you want Hm, Cuffs, Skysiren you are relieved, take Recoil with you But sir... but in my opinion, Chameleon is the one you should be worrying 'bout more, not me Go Cuffs heh You're just as much to blame for this mess up I don't care if he is your friend. Your loyalties should lay HERE. We all rely on each other, and trust is vital in that. You have destroyed my trust in you. Very well. Skysiren, return to my office. * Cuffs leaves, with Recoil in tow * Waitstate walks close up Now tell me WHY? * SkySiren looks at her leaders and then at the prisoners. She nods at them and reclutantly leaves * Stardrive watches the heavy guns leave. *to SD and Arti* I doubt -anyone- is going to trust him now * Recoil silently returns, unnoticed *to Admiral* Seems to be a common thread in LONAC tell me what you want to know and I'll answer it all * Chameleon looks straight ahead *to Lil* I didn't trust him all that much to begin with. Those spiderbots are creepy. * Admiral-Lilwall nods * Waitstate grabs Diablo by the neck Don't play with me! Answer my question! * Stardrive looks worried. * Admiral-Lilwall grabs Wait's shoulder "cool it, that won't get you anything" * Waitstate doesn't look back Who are YOU to talk? * Admiral-Lilwall steps back and clenches his fist *mumbles to himself* Touche` why did I do this let's see * Waitstate loosens his grip, nonetheless one. I was trying to stop a friend from doing more damage than he could of done You can NOT justify attacking ANY of us with that! * Waitstate involuntarily squeezes harder If you were trying to stop him, why did you leave the area once he was trapped on deck 7? he had nothing else he could do this is all my fault, leave Diablo out of this I'm not talking about him now though, am I? *to sd and arti* If he sqeezes any harder we aren't ever going to find answers He speaks. Where do you get off Chameleon? you can do what ever you want with me, just leave him alone * Stardrive holds back a chuckle. He's just as guilty as you You attacked three of my people Diablo. You could have killed them. Both of you attacked us *to Lil* Pop goes the weasel? could have killed them, but didn't *to sd* possibly didn't? only because we took you out. that does not mean you wouldn't of killed us if we hadn't stopped you You certainly seemed to be trying! * Cuffs arrives in his office this isn't going anywhere *to himself* These null rays sure came in handy... glad I got them... * Waitstate angers more for a moment, then cools * Cuffs brings up his report on a monitor on a wall "This is my report on the situation Skysiren, give it a quick read then resume with replacing any damaged defense units on the lower decks" * SkySiren looks nervously over at Cuffs "How do you think it's going down in the cell?" You're right Unsure, I have not yet seen the commanders in an angered state as then I'd say just throw these guys back in their cells, but that would give them more time to make up some crazy story Have restore disable their weapons, then dump them out an airlock. If they won't speak, then they may as well not exist for me * Waitstate turns to leave * Diablo gets angry * Admiral-Lilwall watches Wait leave, then looks back at the two in the cells Good riddance *to Lil* What's so bad about being in space? * SkySiren slams her fist down on his desk "We should be down there" * Artifice leaves I know. but we have direct orders.... look, I already told you what I beleive has happened to Chameleon, and I believe I might be able to help him * Waitstate stops at the door Have I given the impression that I -CARE- about Chameleon in some way? * Waitstate turns around * SkySiren looks in disgust at the report YOU ALMOST KILLED THREE OF MY FRIENDS! Fine, hi. But what about YOU? You went beserk. And what about this probe you mentioned *cold* I should do to you what you almost did to them * Admiral-Lilwall grabs Waitstate much harder this time "NOW you cool it!" I know and I'm sorry 'bout this, but if you had what the probe did to me, I'm sure you would have as much trouble as I do controlling it * SkySiren begins pacing the room "We also have a duty to protect our commanders" Or what I did you'll end up doing, you -will- regret it. * Waitstate forces himself to cool down *to Diab* That's not what I asked, I want to know HOW, and real quick like. Diablo, you couldn't be as sorry as I am how what? How this probe is connected when I was still with the autobots, we were fighting the cons an alien probe came along, and nearly killed me go on... once I was repaired and in another battle, I found out that it had caused me to go berserk, when angered or threatened * Waitstate stands at the door, knowing he should listen, but too angry to stay inside *mumbles* The Incredible Hulk... it nearly caused me to kill a friend when the cons found out, and took advantage of this *quiet* You knew this would happen? You KNEW? why didn't you just tell us? I didn't think there was a need to tell you at the time Oh sure... NO NEED?! that will be discussed later. Waitstate..... * Waitstate charges forward, but is grabbed by Recoil Let's keep calm... Let go of me! No sir. Recoil, get him out of here Yes, Admiral don't let him out of your sight either. I'll be with you soon * Recoil pulls the violent Waitstate out of the room Alright, now that we've established that. What does this have to do with your friend here? anyway, there was a major battle later, where we were forced to form Hyperion, and it must of somehow spread to Chameleon then, I left the autobots * Stardrive frowns worridly at Recoil and Waitstate. alright. it's the only thing that would explain why chameleon did what he did. normally he wouldn't do what he did * Recoil drags Wait to the security office down the hall now here's the scoop. You and your friend, are both going sit in your cells. Quietly, and calmly. * Recoil pulls him inside that's fine by me, I wont be retaliating I will be back later, there will be units posted in the area. Does this mean we can be expecting three MORE violent knocks at our door? that would be four more, and I doubt it The walls around your cells also have devices to keep you in there. Good. What is going on?! * Stardrive is not relieved. The boss needs to cool off You two! Get him off me! Sir...I... He's not in a good way right now * SkySiren stops pacing What are you waiting for?! Hold him down, Skysiren, bring me restrainers I am sorry sir, but this must be done. Yes! Restrain him- what are you DOING?!? * Cuffs approaches Waitstate with a sedating unit * SkySiren brings the restraints but is a little slower then usual "You can't be serious" * Stardrive frowns as he hears the commotion from the security office. I wish that was the case Skysiren.... Stardrive, get down there and see what the slag is happening * Stardrive runs to the office. * Stardrive enters. * Diablo hopes it didn't spread to the others like it did to Chameleon Hold him still!! * SkySiren grabs hold of him Uh... Wait... you need to calm down. * Waitstate makes a last-ditch try at hitting Cuffs and Sky with viruses, but cant concentrate enough Alright, I'll be back later. *leaves the brig* * Stardrive sets his null ray to 1/4 power and shoots Wait. * Cuffs sedates Waitstate* Sorry about that. Let me go! Let me go... *collapses from the tranq* Put the restrainers on him and put him in another cell, in a different room to Diablo and his comrade * Waitstate goes into mental lock, unconcious * SkySiren restains Wait He's going to be mad... * Admiral-Lilwall enters the office Do we have to do that? Unfortunatly we do He's not going to be happy. Do as Cuffs said, let me know when he's back online Stardrive, get back to bridge, I somehow know Trilana will know about all this. Keep it quiet, NO ONE but us knows about this. He's going to blow another fuse when he wakes up in the brig... He might, but hopefully he won't Well... um she heard you. * Stardrive retreats out the door. Slag... I've known him almost as long as you guys. I've NEVER seen him like this as I thought Nor have I. But I'll be slagged if I let him do it again You heard me just then, this gets mentioned to no one as soon as he's in there go back to your business Yes sir...should I post extra units? Not to him. But I want the other two watched carefully * Admiral-Lilwall leaves the brig I wouldn't want the boss to get his rep messed up. He's been good to me. Better than the slaggin' Autobots any day * Admiral-Lilwall heads for med bay * Stardrive arrives on the Bridge and gets the comfy chair. * SkySiren leans against the wall watching everyone * Admiral-Lilwall to bridge, inform the ambassador of kyon that I'll be conducting the meetings with him instead of Waitstate. The boss is busy interrogating the prisoners * Stardrive nods to Trilana. * Admiral-Lilwall enters med bay. * Trilana opens a channel to Kyon. What is Format doing in here? * Stardrive informs the ambassador of the change of plans. * Trilana closes the channel. Fragment brought him in....energon poisoning He got the snake drunk again? Ugh, I'll see him about it later * Stardrives_Head appears. That's the least of our problems. Like we need another one What is it now? Nothing new. Just the old ones we already knew about. Not much to do on the bridge right now, though. Oh yes. Nothing could beat those could they Problems? Long story. For later well, if you're here about our medical problem, you're out of luck. We're out of luck on a lot of counts today. I'm no closer to anything new than I was before. The mutated strand is just as secretive as the old one Great I was hoping for at least a scrap of good news Well if that's the case, I'll head down to the surface for this meeting. Maybe that will have better luck for us Have fun. *goes to monitor Cyrstalline and Ayreon again [System online] Well, I'm no diplomat, so I guess I'll try to hold things together up here... but what will I tell Wait? [Running diagnostics... complete] * Admiral-Lilwall leaves the med bay. "Overwrite head down to the flight deck. Bring whatever stuff Waitstate has for this meeting with the ambassador Tell him to shut up and think Uh... yeah... * Stardrives_Head dissappears. [92% Efficiency. No damage. Warning: Communication systems disabled] [Booting main processor] Ugh... what happened * Stardrive paces on the bridge. He's going to kill me. He is awakening, Skysiren, alert Admiral Lilwall or Stardrive * Waitstate tries to sit up * SkySiren hails Admiral Lilwall * Waitstate dizzily makes it upright you are restrained sir. You are coming out of sedation, do not try to move, it only make it worse *weak* I won't try again * Admiral-Lilwall here, what is it Skysiren? * SkySiren voice is tense "Waitstate has woken up sir" This is worse than being drunk on that stuff Lil used to be into... [comm] Hm. Pass it on to Stardrive, I'm leaving for this meeting. Overwrite is coming with me. * Admiral-Lilwall arrives on the flight deck and looks around for Overwrite * Overwrite bustles in, arms full of pads I'm here. Where is Waitstate? * SkySiren calls Star with the same message [comm] Thanks, Sky... I think. Trilana, you have the conn. * Stardrive heads for the brig. * Stardrive enters the brig room. He's too busy elsewhere right now, so I'll be doing the meeting Uh... hi Wait. Feeling better? Hmph. I suppose if you must * Overwrite goes on ahead *in medbay* hm. that's interesting. let's try this.... Better than what? *holds his head* I think I have what Bits always called a "migraine" [comm to security office] I think we can let him out now. I'm starting to envy them *groan* their pain killers... Well, a trip to medbay should take care of that. You were really out of control for a while... Is Diablo still on the ship? He's back in the brig. hm But don't worry about him now, we can toss him at our leisure. * Admiral-Lilwall powers up the shuttle and launches I think I'll be fine, so long as I don- ouch! Don't see him [Comm] Stardrive to Security [comm] Cuffs here. [Comm] I think we can let our leader out now. [comm] Very well. Disengaging cell * Cuffs disables the cell by remote * Stardrive leads Waitstate out, careful to not go by Diablo's cell. can we hit medbay first thing? First let's get the restraints off... * Stardrive stops in the office. *medbay* hm...that seemed to work, let's try this then... Uh Cuffs... the cuffs. * SkySiren laughs * Cuffs removes the restrainers "My apologies commander. It was required" I understand I just wish my head didn't hurt so much... * Stardrive helps Waitstate to medbay. Ok, landing in one minute... ugh, Overwrite, was all of that stuff really needed? Thanks Cuffs... * Overwrite shoots Lil a dirty glare Well it does seem a tad overboard Do I tell YOU how to conduct your external whatsit job? * SkySiren watches Wait and star leave and then heads for her quarters No you don't.... why? because that one is Artifice's job * Admiral-Lilwall sets the shuttle down Yes... it is. Why isn't HE here? *medbay* hmm... I wonder * Waitstate hobbles in Wonder about what? Oh for slag's sake, get that stuff together and let's go shh! I'm busy * Stardrive helps Wait onto a medbed. * Overwrite does so, silently gratified that Admiral shut up c'mon Restore... I need some assistance * Admiral-Lilwall exits the shuttle and walks towards a small group of Kyon officials shut up Waitstate, this is important Please... before he throws another fit. But my head hurts like you wouldn't believe... Sheesh, windy day down here ain't it We have some interesting weather in this part of out world. Welcome to it :) * Fragment passes Skysiren in the halls "Heya gorgeous!" Thank you, I must apologise for my commander's absence * SkySiren smiles pleasently and keeps walking Accepted. Has he fallen ill? Or do your kind do that? Hm...Get out of my face Stardrive *takes a sample and runs a quick test on it* * Stardrive looks at Wait. Actually, there's a internal LONAC matter that needed his attention. [Warning: Efficeincy dropping. 86% and falling] He too sends apologies for the sudden change of plans * Waitstate groans rather loudly oh slag... Waitstate... this mutated virus strand thing Uh... Restore... I've found something about it..... * Restore turns to Waitstate and quickly scans him By Primus..... If you'll come this way, out people are anxious to meet you :) This thing... has mutated to a new level....it.. It is deadly to Cybertronian life! Lead the way :) * Stardrive looks at Restore... horrified. leads them outside the spaceport It's already effecting Waitstate badly.... How in the universe can that happen!?!? *Weakly* What? it will me, you, and everyone else soon too Oh great. wait a second....Admiral Lilwall..... I practicly dragged him in here. Oh slag... he went to the planet. This thing is still airborne, we have to stop him! [comm] Stardrive to Admiral Lilwall. [comm] Do not land, repeat, do NOT land! [Warning: Efficeincy at 63% and falling. Initiating stasis lock] * Restore attempts to stabilise Waitstate * Admiral-Lilwall here, hows the boss? * Waitstate goes unconscios [comm] that's uh... a tad late Stardrive, I'm about to start the meeting [comm] Not good. The virus now affects Transformers too. [comm] What's going on? [comm] Damn. [comm] WHAT?! [comm] Restore knows more than I. [comm] shit... I'm on my way back * Admiral-Lilwall out * V'Rai opens the main doors to the meeting hall and hundreds of Kyon people enter Uh...excuse me * Stardrive closes the channel. is there a probelm? V'Rai... I'm afraid something has... come up on my ship My uh... sincerest apologies... really... If it affects Cybertronians now, what about organics? I have to leave.... what of the meeting? Does it now affect both? At the same time? Yes, it works slower on us though So Lilwall could have already infected the planet? I'm... really very sorry, but... it has to wait... Not could of.... HAS Oh for booting up cold. the second the shuttle door opened..... But... but.. *watches Lil and OW leave* I'll....be in contact with you V'Rai.... * Admiral-Lilwall gets back to the shuttle "Slag, this is bad, the whole planet will be infected now!" We have to quarentine the planet... How the slag are we going to do that? There... Waitstate, you're as good as new... considering. I don't know... but we can't let it spread to the whole galaxy! My head still hurts some... and my comm systems are down your head won't be all that is going to hurt I couldn't detect the mutated strand in anyone but Cyrstalline and Ayreon. I had to use a combination of different sensors and frequencies to find it on us. that's why the decontam was pointless Great. this... virus or whatever. It isn't digital, is it? I mean, it can't be transfered via computer data? This thing attacks the nervous system, I believe that via the organic/inorganic connection shared by our resident Head and Powermasters, is what caused it to mutate Crash it! Just like the IDIC epidemic. I doubt it. The 'thing' is not a virus as we know it. I don't know what to call it, but whatever it is, it's attacking our core processors Wonderful. If we don't find a way to stop or kill this thing, it will leave all Cybertronians and possibly all types of robot as an empty husk and anything organic....ANYTHING organic, will be a decaying corpse. food supplies included * Stardrive shudders. get my comms back on. I need access to the computers liquid included What about the computer cores? * Admiral-Lilwall arrives back on the ship and races to medbay did the tranq knock them out, or was it the virus thing? Are they shielded enough? that will have to be checked. as for your comm unit...that wasn't due to the virus... but that sort of thing will happen parts of us will systematiclly shut down There... your comm is back on. * Waitstate sighs in relief I don't like being cut off... Whatever you can do to keep ppl away from Kyon.....you best do it, and very fast * Admiral-Lilwall enters medbay "what's going on?" what was the weather like down there? We're all going to become spare parts. I hardly think weather is a good topic under the--- it was windy, very windy Kyon is full of organics... with wind like that, it could only be hours before the planet was completely infected * Waitstate taps the Kyon weather tracking system Well, this is no way to get a trade agreement. There's a major storm system moving into that area. It's expected to move across a large portion of Kyon's upper contenent Damn Well, so much for kicking out Diablo and his friend I guess they're dead anyway. We all... are. If we did that, who knows where they would have gone with it. something else..... going by these statistics.... this thing mutated WHILE we were on Nelvada.... ...no... Oh no... then it could have spread anywhere by now! Just like the IDIC epidemic. Oh man... how many ships could have been in and out of that system... I... don't know what to do. Nothing I've tried or can think of works.... We have to find the source of this thing. Maybe from there we can find a way to stop it How do we do that? It mutated while on Nelvada... but is that even where it started from? we had it before Nelvada.... so that a part start I suppose. we should back track immediatly I'll get on the hypernet and find anything else I can. that's all I can do *to himself* Too bad there are no Romulans... ...nothing on the Nelvada newswire. Medical logs show an increase in reports of minor discomforts and failures though it's started then. my knees locked up the other day... I didn't even think it could have been related it was for only a few seconds... we should alert everyone on board, let them know no one is to leave the ship * Waitstate hangs his head What has begun? especially certain dark force members our deterioration Trilana and I better remove our antimatter supplies... if our containment fields fail... well, we won't have to worry about the virus. Hm...I think your sudden drop Waitstate, was due to the sedation... you were fine until then, you should still be fine, but the sedation must have done something I can almost feel it... eating away at me, bit by bit... if sedation is a no no... don't we have a pair of prisoners Both of which I believe we gave heavy sedation too... shouldn't have stopped me.... At least they would have had quick deaths Why? we'd all have to listen to your moping about from guilt No... You would have heard me going on about how they at least had quick deaths I'd better check them both over right now *grabs some stuff and heads to the brig* Well... now what? I guess we should try and find the source, like Restore said I suppose we should tell the Kyon government what has happened and notify Nelvada I'm glad I'm not the comm officer * Admiral-Lilwall tries not to chuckle I get all the slag assignments. * Waitstate grins weakly As much as I'd like to pawn this off on Tri... she'd kill me. Well, I'm headed back to the bridge, I suppose after we tell Kyon and Nelvada, we're going to have to tell the crew Wait... shouldn't that be a job for External Affairs? Most are on recharge cycle now * Format wakes up from his druken slumber and notices AL Wait and SD *to Format* Welcome back to the land of moving parts... at least for a while. * Admiral-Lilwall looks at the snake then leaves for the bridge * Format shakes his head and slides down off the 'bed' * Stardrive follows Lilwall. Shouldn't the highest ranking officer deliver the actual message? If I'm going to die, does my head have to constantly hurt? better your head than you core processor * Admiral-Lilwall enters a lift * Stardrive enters also. * Format decides to follow them and enters the lift also And you are the highest ranking officer not on a medbed... * Admiral-Lilwall exits the lift when it arrives at the bridge * Stardrive enters the bridge. Hey, not to get off topic or anything, but uh, did you know what Cuffs can do? * Restore enters the brig "Cuffs, I have to do an examination on these two." very well, shall I sedate them for you? No. hey, can you fix my arm while you're at it? I'm afriad your arm will be the least of your concerns for now, let me run my tests first ok then what exactly are these tests for? * SkySiren drinks some hot tea and looks out at the stars well... you remember that virus thingy on Ayreon? yeah * Opal hits the buzzer outside of Skysiren's door well, it's deadly to robots now as well. and it doesn't like sedations... I need to check you over for sytem failures I see then * SkySiren jumps at the sound 'yes?" So the pair of you won't be getting kicked out after all. No one can leave the ship Um, hi? yay. * SkySiren gets up and answers the door "hello" Anyway, Cuffs is able to combine with gestalt groups of certain config That's nice. What about Kyon? Hello :) I'm Opal, was just stopping by to uh...get to know the crew better :) * SkySiren smiles politely "I'm Skysiren' some of the crew seem much... well not as friendly, and I heard you were :) * SkySiren stands there uncomfortably "How long have you been in the group?" < Opal> oh... not long, I joined when the ship stopped by at Nelvada I left a crummy job, thought I'd cut my losses and tag along here I'm not interrupting anything am I? I can come back later if you were busy :) * SkySiren laughs a little "No, you aren't bothering me" Shadowpaw, move us out of orbit from Kyon, and put us near their largest moon instead * Waitstate is laying in medbay, whining somewhat Uh... what about telling them... * Shadowpaw nods and does so Well, you tell em :) * Chameleon 's right arm falls off, from where its been hanging on his shoulder You're the ranking officer on the bridge... they deserve to hear it from you. Hm... you two are gonna be fine... for now. I'll need to get something from the medbay for your arm, I'll be back soon * Waitstate gets thrown out by Restore when she returns to medbay * Scope sits in the bar at one of the tables, absently sipping a drink and staring out into space * Waitstate sulks all the way up to the bridge Well... as ranking officer, I order you to inform Kyon, then Nelvada yay, my arm is finally going to be fixed Give them the run down on the quarrantine proceedures they should implement and do it now ;) * Stardrive replaces Trilana at the comm station. * Waitstate arrives on the bridge status? Yo Scopey, how's it's going * Scope looks up suddenly Ah... Wait... you want me to open a channel to Kyon so you can tell them what happened? Ok, I'll do that... Stardrive is doing the dirty work and Shadowpaw has moved us out of orbit and to the largest moon * Stardrive opens a channel. Channel open, Captain. Fine. Eh, I barely seen ya on this crate, where ya hang out? good. All is as it should be * Waitstate sits down I was just mentionging Cuff's abilities in an effort to lighten the mood
