"Heya Nova" Hey Wait, what's today's game plan? * Admiral-Lilwall takes his seat * Scope leaves his quarters, whistling to himself as he heads for the plaza Well, if our merchants have recovered, I was considering opening the Plaza back up Hi Slipstream.

Haven't heard from Terrafirma yet, but Snake-Eyes says she's got enough to reopen * Backtrack sits guard at one of the entrances She also mentioned something about wanting someone else to work the counter while she stayed out back to keep working on stock I know the bar is still sufficiently stocked... * Novaburst looks at the station through one of the windoes * Terrafirma looks at her shelves and storage. "This place will never be as clean as it was before yesterday... ah well, the price of business." * Splitwit gets up from his seat and exits the bar * Scope sees Backtrack at one of the entrances and heads over * Lonac_Shuttle appears off in the distance * Diablo makes several spiderbots with some of the parts he got I'm detecting one of our shuttles *clears voice and says quietly* I was thinking of helping with security if the Plaza is opened to the station again. * Terrafirma sends the all clear and opens for business hail them Scanners indicate it has been heavily damaged life signs? Just one. Hailing... One? Two left... Yo. Deadlift, what's going on? * Chameleon and Firestorm leave the simroom and head for the bar Oh, not a lot. Just making sure this pile of parts stays moving until I land it. You? What happened to the shuttle?? * Splitwit enters the observation lounge and takes a seat Can't say that I like the idea of opening the plaza to the station occupants Long story. Oh. Someone here wants to say hi. I thought there was only one on board... So do the scanners... * Waitstate waits, intrigued * Deadlift_In_Shuttle holds up the head of Crimson and does a imitation while moving the head's mouth. "Hi guys, I sure missed you, glad to see me? Hey anyone see my body!?" * Slipstream notices Split come in. "heya" oh, didn't notice ya there Slip * Aries chuckles Charming. That's disgusting... I take it your mission was a success then? * Deadlift_In_Shuttle looks at the head, sneers at it and tosses it back behind him. hehe, not surprising. Where's Takedown? excuse me? nemmind Split. :) * Chameleon and Firestorm grab a seat in the bar *rolls eyes* sure thing That's part of the long story. I'll fill you in when I am in less of a, um *looks around shuttle* death trap. *Download approaches* heh...

Are we ready to open up? * Ghost-Stalker and Starstorm wander the station That would be a nice mix of Arojiu oils Might as well * Deadlift walks past a few unknowns and grins at the looks they give him * Splitwit leans up against one of the walls * Deadlift enters the conference room I guess we are. I'll notify security to move into position, and inform the store bots Hey troops. Ah, Deadlift... welcome back. *motions to a chair* hmmm, very nice. What exactly do they do because I've never heard of them before? * Deadlift tosses the head to Lil "Heads up." hmph... you about ready to get rid of THAT? *points to Decepticon sigil* * Deadlift takes a seat * Admiral-Lilwall places the head in the center of the table * Splitwit takes out a small device from subspace and looks at it for a moment before returning it "Not today" * Deadlift looks at it and chuckles * Admiral-Lilwall accesses a console and puts out the various notices * Novaburst quietly leaves the observation lounge * Terrafirma gets the message and prepares for actual customers * Splitwit returns to his quarters *after getting msg* here we go again... So, what did I miss? a busy day on the plaza * Patchwork walks through the halls of Motan orbital, sighing at his bordom... Not much on it's own, but mixed with a medium grade of energon, it could turn out potent, but pleasurable * Deadlift grabs the head back [comm] All security personell, please move into position, the plaza will be opening in a few minutes That'll do just fine then * Splitwit collapses on his bed and turns the tv back on So... spill it. what happened? the plaza again? *sighs* Deja vu * Download mixes up the drinks and reads his message "Uh oh." When? um, while you were gone? * Novaburst decides to pay Hellfire a visit and heads for where he's being held Oh, I killed this guy *holds up head again* * Splashback, Hitchhike and Cuffs head for the plaza, while Goannis also makes her way there to assist in the bar I think we guessed that part Care to elaborate? * Slipstream leaves the lounge and heads up to the bridge Well, let's see. Takedown and I tracked his ship, we blew a hole in it, went in, killed him and then I came back. And here I am! Woohoo! that simple, eh? * Lightning arrives on the plaza, considering his current role as security there to be more like a punishment then job Well, I don't know. I think he took it a little hard. *nods to the head* Where's Takedown? * Slipstream arrives on the bridge * Deadlift leans towards Lil "Who?" * Misfit is booooored in her quarters and decides to go down to the plaza. * Waitstate starts to get concerned * Scope spots Lightning as he arrives at the plaza * Cuffs and co move into position * Splitwit tosses the device nonchalantly on his table * Waitstate wonders who he should call... security, or medbay Er, Lightning! Somebody? I came to help... * Deadlift hums some song to himself and sways side to side * Waitstate decides to call both Scope, your assistence could be used near the bar * Slipstream leans against a wall in the bridge, not noticed by the others there That's what happens when you let neutrals run wild What? * Waitstate covertly signals Restore and Recoil Neutrals? * Scope nods and stands near the entrance to the bar * Restore gets a message and turns to Welder * Waitstate starts to get concerned about Artifice now * Misfit wanders around the plaza So Shockwave, what are we doing at this outpost? Keep going with this, Waitstate needs me upstairs for something Another energon raid? * Recoil also gets the message, and heads to the corridor outside the conference room to wait Deadlift, are you ok? * Admiral-Lilwall thinks to himself that perhaps Deadlift's memories have been tampered with Of course I am Sho- Waitstate. you almost called me Shockwave again. I did it a first time? yes * Misfit ends up in front of the bar. Heya Scope ... *nods in greeting to Misfit* * Deadlift looks over at Artifice whatcha doing? Get away from me * Security in place, the Plaza opens to the station Security. The Plaza is being opened for business again. What's wrong Vortex? You look...different. Uh boy. Y'mean all those bots and stuff are coming back again? * Scope motions as if to say 'see?' as the Plaza doors open * Waitstate signals Restore again, urgently Why don't you have a seat Deadlift? Don't talk down to ME, Combaticon! * Deadlift stands up You'd think they've never been on a ship before. They horde in here. Combaticon? * Waitstate covertly pulls out his sabre * Admiral-Lilwall stands up Artifice....I'm...sorry... Calm down, we're all on the same team here * Deadlift shakes his head * Waitstate does as well, keeping his hand behind his back You don't sound yourself, Deadlift Did something happen to you? Other than what you already told us? * Patchwork looks over at the docked freedom. his curiosty getting the better of him and he walks torwards it * Restore arrives outside the conference room * Deadlift backs towards the door Don't worry about it Deadlift, we'll get you fixed up You...you're not Decepticons!!! No, we aren't Neither are you any more if you remember. * Deadlift transforms and speeds out the door past Restore Whoa Recoil, catch him! * Recoil runs after him what's going on?? Something happened to Deadlift while he was out on a crusade * Backtrack hears the sound of an engine coming Deadlift, stop! * Backtrack looks around the corner in time to see Deadlift fly by him Deadlift!? Hm. Well. I'm going to get out of here before I get stomped all over again. * Recoil is close behind Later Scope. *gives Misfit a small wave* What's going on?! If he gets onto the plaza, who knows how many civilians he'll run down good point... * Patchwork walks up to the port connecting the ship to the station and up to the plaza, looking around * Waitstate activates the security lockouts from this side * Misfit tries hard to get to the plaza door through the mob. * Deadlift transforms and flies uncontrollably into a wall * Recoil tackles him Excuse me... excuse me... c'mon move, I'm trying to leave... Recoil, what the slag are you doing? Trying to stop you! Get off me, Autobot! * Deadlift throws him off and starts to run * Misfit wades through visitors. * Download and Snake-Eyes watch lots of people flood through the plaza * Backtrack takes down Deadlift at the legs * Patchwork pushes past Misfit, looking around, then heading to the bar * Restore also chases after Deadlift Get his arms!!! * Recoil does so I've got em! * Deadlift shifts back and forth between modes hold him down! *at Patchwork* Hey, WATCH IT, bud! * Artifice pulls out a laser pistol and shoots Deadlift That should help a little * Restore grabs something from subspace, trying to sedate Deadlift * Deadlift thrashes around * Recoil struggles to hold him between shifts Pushy, annoying visitors. * Restore jumps onto the much larger bot and applies the sedative * Deadlift suddenly goes still hey! watch what you're doing, bounty hunter! * Patchwork shakes his fist at Misfit "Next time alice, bam! whack! To the moon!" * Artifice shrugs * Misfit finally gets to a a plaza exit, pulls on the door... only to find it locked. Looks like you've got this one down Restore * Waitstate arrives on the scene *to Patchwork* Threatening our crew will get you thrown off our ship, is that clear visitor? This isn't going to be my day. Not at all. * Splitwit decides to head to the Plaza *calls to Hitchhike* hehe, you tell 'em Hitchhike! * Snake-Eyes makes numerous sales as the customers continue to come through So... is Deadlift having a bad day today? What's with the doors? I don't know. He's been acting extremely odd. He called me Shockwave, twice * Patchwork looks at Hitchhike "Crew?" his voice now deeper than before, his normal tone "This does not look like a autobot or decepticon vessel, who mans it?" * Misfit walks back toward the bar. *quieter* And I'm a little worried about Artifice actually... Shockwave? You are much more like Megatron... * Slipstream heads for the plaza... and finds the doors locked. "heh, odd." * Splitwit reaches the Plaza, but finds the door locked "What the...?" At least Vortex has some class ;) * Backtrack chuckles and takes a step back to avoid retaliation Don't YOU start We're neutral. And more than capable of defending against trouble, so watch your manners. Sorry, sorry! I'm getting some strange readings from him * Splitwit tries the door several more times before giving up * Patchwork laughs and heads torwards the bar, sitting down We need to get him to medbay * Waitstate decides to keep his eye on Artifice, but not to act just yet * Slipstream decides to go to the sim rooms for a while * Misfit motions at Hitchhike "What's up with the doors? It won't let me out." * Hitchhike shrugs That's not a good answer. * Splitwit transforms to car mode and drives around the ship * Recoil motions to help carry DL, but can't carry the huge bot on his own Ask Cuffs, he's watchig over the airlock with Splashback * Backtrack looks at DL's body Well, I did it last time, I guess I can do it again. * Backtrack transforms to tank mode Toss him on This works * Slipstream starts up the simulator * Recoil hefts DL on top, straining *makes a face* It was hard enough to wade back here... fine, fine. * Patchwork motions to the bartender "Barkeep, can I get whatever's the cheapest, shaken, not stirred?" * Misfit works her way to the airlock. Yeah yeah yeah, can't you see how busy this place is? Wait a second * Backtrack feels his shocks compress under the weight hmm, I feel like a bit of a dog fight t'day... *simulation starts, and Slip switches to spacefighter mode* Hey Cuffs! * Hardcase makes his way through the Plaza * Patchwork nods "I can wait" he looks around "So, barkeep, who runs this place?" * Cuffs looks up as Misfit approaches * Backtrack rolls for the medbay *to Restore, walking with her* So... any idea what's wrong? We need to get this guy his own bed. He's been there enough lately. Why're the slaggin' doors locked? I want out of this mob scene and they're not cooperating. no time to chat, I've got a bar to handle. *to some other customer* alright already! sheesh * Splitwit zooms past Backtrack and co. and continues on his way Leave it the the forklift to need a forklift * Goannis quickly rushes back to the bar, grabs some more drinks and heads back to hand them to the customers * Patchwork shrugs "I'm in no rush" *whispers to Misfit* Something happened a few levels up. They locked out the plaza in case it spread down here and got visitors killed. the last I heard everything was under control * Artifice enters the bar and sits next to Patchwork but I don't think they'll open the gates from the sihp to the plaza until they're certain it's safe * Misfit's optics widen * Slipstream has a bit of fun in the simulator blasting things Not a clue. I need to run some tests * Patchwork looks over, nodding to Artifice "Top o' the morning" in a british accent Whoooa.... then I guess I'm stuck in here *sighs unhappily*. I'd let you out myself, but I can't leave the airlock while we're taking all these visitors I'm worried about him. I guess I haven't known him all that long, but I wouldn't want anything to happen to him * Lonac_Shuttle shakes I know, I know. Can't let any of the bad guys in. :) I guess I'll just go get a drink. Admiral... yes? Cya Cuffs. :) *The back panel of the shuttle pops off* Something is happening on the flight deck... * Misfit walks none too carefully back through the huge crowd and into the bar. * Artifice ignores Patchwork and looks toward the bar * Takedown hops out What? Could that space BE any smaller? * Takedown takes the sensor blocker off his shoulder. Another lifesign just appeared from the shuttle Deadlift arrived in... * Splitwit reaches another entrance to the Plaza and tries it, only to find it blocked. "Damnit, I could really use a drink..." * Takedown checks the cockpit to make sure the loon isn't still in there. * Misfit glares some visitor off a chair near the front of the bar. It's Takedown... * Takedown looks at one of the holes in the hull * Patchwork looks around "Nice place...too bad you really can't get a drink..." Whoops, I guess that one was mine. Hey Artifice, you stuck in here too? [com] Waitstate, I think we're going to need some forces at the launch bay right now * Splitwit kicks the door a few times and finally gives up "Ayy... whatever's goin on better be over with soon..." Hey Misfit. I'm just a little disturbed, trying to get in some relaxation * Takedown gets his stuff out of the shuttle. gotcha Relaxation? in this mob? good luck. What's wrong? *comm* Waitstate to Recoil, meet me in the flight deck * Waitstate heads there himself * Takedown tosses his backpack over his shoulder and heads for the door Too many things Misfit * Hardcase walks into the bar Heh, the only place worth visiting on this sissy ship Like...? * Slipstream finishes in the simulator and shuts it off, then comms Wait. * Panelbeater heads over to the wrecked shuttle after having been called to help repair it* [comm] Hey Wait, anything goin' on? *to the newcomer* You can always LEAVE. Looks like I'm the first one here. * Splitwit drives in circles * Takedown nods to Panelbeater * Hardcase looks over at Misfit Heh. * Hardcase takes Patchwork's drink and downs it Sheesh, talked about messed up. What happened to the shuttle? * Patchwork leans back in the stool looking around "This place doesn't look too shabby.... and I could stand buying some plants or holovids..." * Takedown looks back at the shuttle and then back to Panelbeater. * Hardcase looks around the bar Hey, he paid for that y'know. It, malfuctioned? Like its pilot, probably. Where is that overgrown crackpot anyway? Hey! * Patchwork jumps up, swinging his fist into HardCase's face [comm] Yeah Slip, you could say that Malfunctioned? Looks more like it was shot up and rammed a few times * Hardcase flicks his glass at Misfit * Download hears the fight breakout Well yeah, that too. * Hardcase turns to Patchwork and laughs * Waitstate enters the flight deck, with Recoil behind him what's going on? * Misfit pulls out a blaster What are you laughing at? that was my drink! HEY! Get out! Both of you! No fights in the bar! You'd better just get on out of here right now you twerp. [comm] Oh? Need a hand? who, me? that's what I'm wondering... [comm] We might. We're on the flight deck No, the other twerp. * Misfit motions at Hardcase. Both of you! Take it outside! * Patchwork nods "Oh" then relizes what she said "Hey!" * Takedown sees Waitstate [comm] 'kay then. be there in a sec. It's more crowded outside, DL. Sure thing boss. * Slipstream heads quickly for the flight deck Please tell me you have Deadlift somewhere under control I don't care who started it, get out! Take it off the ship for all I care Takedown, you're here *blink* * Hardcase picks up Misfit by the neck and starts to leave the bar * Misfit punches Hardcase in the shoulder yeah, we do. He's sedated, and prob'ly in medbay by now LET ME DOWN!! * Hardcase drops Misfit * Takedown looks at Waitstate "Yeah...I'm here..." * Patchwork aims his guns at Hardcase That's *IT*. * Download pages Security * Slipstream arrives on the flight deck * Misfit tackles Hardcase Good. The guy freaked out back there. * Hardcase falls over but gets up quickly He freaked out here, too. Any idea what's wrong with him? slag, [com] Lightning, Scope, there's a fight at the bar * Misfit pushes Hardcase out towards the door * Artifice jumps up onto Hardcase's shoulder and wedges his sword into it * Artifice kicks off * Hardcase graps his shoulder * Lightning heads for the bar Not a clue. About an hour after we left the ship he started referring to me as Tantrum. I corrected him about five times. Eventually I gave up. * Scope gets a message from Cuffs and immediately ducks into the bar * Scope sees the fight in front of him and yells "what's going on?" We found Crimson's shuttle, boarded it, and Deadlift was all over him. *points at Hardcase* get him! That much I expected.... hm * Lightning moves to fire but too many visitors are in the way * Hardcase sees security and starts to walk away * Admiral-Lilwall sighs Lousy bar. Oh no you don't you creep * Artifice holds back Misfit We don't need any more trouble Let me go Artifice! After he killed Crimson, he started coming after me, so I faked my death and hid until he had taken what he wanted from Crimson's ship. I then used a sensor cloak to hide myself on board. * Patchwork leves his guns at Hard "Don't you move or I'll turn you into cinder!" * Scope grabs Hardcase by the shoulder "where you goin', scum?" Cuffs wants him in the brig sensor cloak... that explains that what did he take? aside from Crimson's mortal remains I mean * Lightning restrains Patchwork also * Scope nods to Lightning and pulls Hardcase out of the bar, warning Patchwork not to fire * Misfit wrenches loose of Artifice I've had my fun, just let me go * Patchwork sighs, sitting back down at the bar, putting more credits down "Another, please" That's easy for you to say, he didn't insult *you* He's just a jerk looking for a fight ...mortal remains? he played puppets with Crimson's head, for instance ... * Misfit leaves the bar in a huff. now that would be something t'see, heh. * Scope begins to consider Hardcase's plea, and looks at Lightning * Lightning notifies Cuffs [com to lightning] let him leave, Splashback and I can take him if he tries anything as he goes * Patchwork sighs "He took my drink, I'll pay for another, just remove him before I gut him" Anyway, I figure he either snapped and lost his mind, or he has some sort of brain damage Heh, see you later chumps what DID he take then? * Hardcase transforms to jet mode and flies off *mutters to herself as she walks toward an exit* I'm leaving, if I have to unlock the door myself. You just find a seat and sit in it mister, anymore trouble out of you and you'll be thrown out as well. Well, according to you, a head. *mumbling to himself* starting fights, sheesh. you didn't see then? No, I was hanging on to an outer hull while he was playing inside. that must've been fun hm * Artifice sits back at the bar * Misfit works the panel next to the door open. so nothing out of the ordinary happened ASIDE from Deadlift's breakdown? nothing that might explain his condition? Hm. Let's see here. Can't be *that* much to it. * Splitwit sits outside the door spinning his Shrap Blasters Nope. He was fine for the first hour and then slowly started getting wierd. hm * Misfit pulls a little wiring out from the wall. mid-life crisis. heh. well, you don't look in that great of shape yourself... perhaps you should pay medbay a call as well? someone is tampering with one of the plaza doors Anyway, I need some rest. I've been cooped inside that container for some time. * Misfit pulls out one of her blades and slices two of the wires. open a line to them * Patchwork looks at Download, pushing his credits to him and throwing a couple more "He's for the stress I caused you" Done. Trying to make your way to the brig Misfit? * Takedown looks at his shoulder. "Minor repairs are needed. I'll get over there in a bit." Whoever you are, unless you're one of us, don't even think about trying. now... if I splice this one, and the other one like this... *pushes the open wires together and the door pops open* Voila! *klaxon* Security breach. Security breach. * Splitwit is taken by supprise as the door opens "All right!" they've opened the door. [comm to Lil] Bah! Alright then... I'll leave you to it then. Welcome back. [com] all security units close in on the origin * Splitwit leaps into the Plaza and runs towards the bar, not even noticing Misfit * Takedown exits and heads to his quarters whoops! Dammit Misfit *shuts off alarms* [com] return your posts, security. Misfit, you can double take and fix what you just broke. [comm] Well you wouldn't unlock the doors... how else was I supposed to get out? Hmm? [com] you com the bridge and ask. now get fixing. don't be so harsh. * Splitwit grabs a seat next to Patchwork "Wild paint job ya got there pall" * Waitstate returns to the bridge to monitor the situation bleh to you [comm] well according to Cuffs you were so busy with your big emergency up there... blah. * Aries decides to leave big red alone * Slipstream heads for the bridge * Waitstate arrives Yo Download, gimmie your cheapest What's this I hear about a security breach? * Download mumbles something as he busily mixes all sorts of drinks * Misfit seals the wires back together crossed and closes up the panel. eh. just Misfit breaking a door This does not surprise me... * Waitstate shakes his head oh, and two bots starting a fight in the bar * Patchwork gulps down his drink, looking at Download "What kind of stores are there around here? a bar brawl? and I missed it? Slag ;) I can recall a few doozies back on Cybertron... you? * Patchwork laughs "Believe me, I didn't choose it" what's the deal with it then? * Slipstream enters the bridge * Misfit skulks back to her quarters. * Patchwork looks at Splitwit "Most people aropund hear aren't to receptive" depends on your point of view * Patchwork sips his drink, turning to Split "So you part of this crew, er... what was your name?" Fairly new to the crew, the name's Splitwit. yours? * Patchwork puts his hand out to Split "PatchWork, but people call me Patches" * Splitwit looks over Patch "I can see why" * Splitwit stares curiously at Patches hand, then shakes it You'll excuse me, I'm not familiar with human customs * Patchwork laughs, his voice like a infommercial guy "Yes, and you to will learn the ways of those spunky humans in three simple steps! Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too? And sleep well!" *blinkblink* excuse me? * Shadowstrike enters the bridge. Gah, who are you? ;) * Shadowstrike snickers Junkion. I was rebuilt on the planet of junk after a bit of a skirmish hey there Strike... feeling up to bridge duty today? Someone wondering why the security klaxons are going off. ahhh Mis got claustrophobic ;) umm, Ok false alarms I suppose. * Patchwork leans back "So what exactly is this group? Autobots? Decepticons?" Oh lovely. What'd she break out of? the Plaza. We had a security lockdown in place I hear there's also lots of smaller species there too, hope none of them get trod on by accident. or intentionally for that matter * Shadowstrike laughs Well, its a neutral faction, LONAC OK, actually, I shouldn't laugh. She doesn't like to be confined with a crowd. believe me, it IS a crowd... Leauge Of Non Aligned Cybertronians. Our leader, Waitstate, started it when the war picked up again I haven't been down there, and from the report Lil's giving I think I'll pass. * Waitstate laughs why ya wanna know? Lil: you think we should restrict the place to Class 5 lifeforms and up next time? My comm is out, just FYI. Mishap with a simulation. * Patchwork shrugs "Well, just that I've go nowhere to go, and getting back into action....do they accept both Autobots and Decepticons?" is it now? what have you been doing to my ship? heh. with all the people in the Plaza I ain't surprised Mis wanted out. ;) maybe we, they, umm us, whatever... take anyone as long as they're willing to be.. peaceful... or somthing like that I was trying to augment a process and er... It didn't quite work out the way it was supposed to. perhaps I should take a look... *glare/curiosity* * Patchwork rubs his chin "Hmmm... who do I talk to?" *hastily* No damage to speak of, with the exception of the fact that I feel slightly deaf without my comm. *sheepish smile*. * Splitwit finishes his drink and orders another why? Interested in joining? * Patchwork nods "Sounds nice...get a place to stay and possibly something I'm good at..." I imagine so. I sympathize. Next time you want to work on yourself like that, maybe you should do it under a doctor's supervision aright, gimmie a sec * Splitwit activates his comm * Shadowstrike fixes Wait with a *look*. * Patchwork nods and sits back [comm to Waitstate] Yo Wait, you got a second? We've got someone here intrested in becoming part of our merry little band * Waitstate gives Strike his "impassive" face [com] Medbay to Waitstate. You know better than that. * Takedown decides to check out all the people in the plaza Speaking of doctors [comm] Direct him to Cuffs. He's handling that at the moment. [comm] and Cuffs is where? [comm] near the main airlock *to Lil* What was all the commotion earlier? Deadlift went nutty. [comm] k *to Patches* if you'll just follow me * Splitwit stands up Deadlift is back, by the way, heh Nutty? [com] *ahem* Medbay to Waitstate. He thinks everyone is a Decepticon * Patchwork stands, throwing a tip for Download on the bar and following Split So I gathered. What's wrong with him? Heh, someone needs to talk with you I think. [comm] Yes Restore? * Splitwit and Patchwork head towards the airlock, where Cuffs is Hah, scolded by Restore. Even he's not safe. I've finished checking over Deadlift. nobody's safe from Restore. ;) * Takedown enters the bar [comm] Yeah? Got a report, or should I come down there? Well... I can't find anything treatable... as near as I can tell, whatever it is that's wrong, is all in his head * Splitwit and Patchwork approach Cuffs "Yo Cuffs, we got someone here that wants t'join and Wait said to talk to you" There is very little, if at all, that I can do for him [comm] Is there a physical cause? Some sort of electrochemical imbalance? * Patchwork puts his hand out to Cuffs "Patchwork" Very well, *takes out a data pad* Please fill out these forms and return them us once our trading is over None that I've found. He's perfctly normal aside whatever his mind is doing. * Patchwork looks over the forms [comm] A virus maybe? [comm] Sorry... I shouldn't be trying to tell you your job. Anything I can do? If I figure something, I'll let you know *to Patch* Anything else you need? [comm] Alright then... If there's anything I can do... medbay out. * Patchwork fills out the forms quickly, then hands them back to Cuffs * Waitstate sighs More bad news, eh? we will contact you later when an interveiw is set up by our commander. We should attract more medical types than we do. They always have such *interesting* problems to deal with... well, Later *waves and transforms* * Patchwork nods and walks off, looking around "Medical types" are hard to come by. Competent ones, at any rate. Well, we comparitivly, we just got two, so maybe more are already coming yes, well, you'd think they'd flock to LONAC: home of the medical mystery :p And home of the moderate battle damage, as well. :) true, alright Heck, there's a lot of positions we need filled on this crate All joking aside, are there any medical facilities in this area if he needs more advanced care? moderate battle damage? pffft! hehe OK, Slipstream, the heavy battle damage. I shall stand corrected. thankee. ;) I doubt there'd be anything more advanced that what we have. this is a trading area after all :\ probably, but I'm not overly familiar with the sector. I don't remember any. But since this place "built up" we'd moved a little farther out. how long ago was that? * Shadowstrike grins. I just got a message from Snake-Eyes, she's had to close up Hm, what about the others? Longer than I care to admit, honestly. When you are on the fringe you tend to stay out of the busier places. * Splitwit leaves the plaza and heads towards the sims Download is ignoring me, so he's probably too busy to answer then I guess it's too soon to close down, heh Still waiting to hear from Terrafirma, but Powerplay seems to be going fine heh, guess that means I'll be stayin' outta the Plaza for a while yet. that sounds like a wise decision, Slipstream. * Splitwit enters the simulator and starts up a desert battle heh! That's the first time someone's called me wise. ;) I dunno. I sometimes miss working the crowd at the bar Terrafirma just replied She's running low, but can still manage for awhile This is a different crowd, though. * Deadlift stirs a little Not your usual passive bunch, Commander. Restore, Eh, you never saw the OLD Neutral Ground. Passive isn't the word I'd use * Restore notes Deadlift's stirring hm. Where was the OLD Neutral Ground? oh? if not passive, then what? Heh, in a slum of a sector. hey, it was a mean slum. And profitable... * Deadlift dreams Annoying, Slip. Very annoying. ;) With Lil there, I ain't surprised. ;) There was a big skyk trade in the area, despite my best efforts to the contrary * Admiral-Lilwall senses a touchy subject Anyway, I'm gonna head back home and sift through some old stuff that's been in a box for a few years heh... nostalgic? Of the old bar days? Heh, thats funny. Skyk. That's probably the one thing Fury won't deal in. true... how can you be nostalgic of something you were too drunk to remember? ;) * Admiral-Lilwall throws a glare before leaving yeah, yeah... sorry * Deadlift slowly revives * Splitwit downs an enemy jet and settles to the ground "Computer, end program. I've had enough of this for t'day" * Splitwit leaves the sim room [com] Waitstate, Deadlift is coming around, should I let him? or keep him sedated? [com] can you take his motor control system offline? let him wake up, but keep him unable to move or transform? * Deadlift sits up * Restore disables Deadlift's movement capabilities by remote Restore> sooo, are you, YOU again? ... * Patchwork wanderes around the stores aimlessly * Deadlift turns his head to face Restore * Splitwit drives aimlessly around the Freedom * Deadlift holds up a cord to show Restore "Forgot one. * Deadlift disconnects the rest [com] Restore? hmmm... d'ya think it might be a good idea t'head down to the med bay? I'm thinking yes okay then. * Waitstate heads there, motioning to Slip to come with * Slipstream follows Wait [com] he's up, you should get here in case he thinks we're bad guys again [com] On our way * Deadlift looks at Restore "No need for alarm. I'm ok now. I think. You'll understand our being cautious then. What happened to you while you were away? I freaked, apperantly. * Slipstream and Wait arrive at the medbay * Waitstate enters that's an understatement Memories overlapped. I'll say Takedown! I killed Takedown! * Shadowstrike seats herself in the command chair. is it possible perhaps on an unconscious level that you might have enjoyed acting a Decepticon again? I mistook him for an enemy in my confusion! Decepticon? * Deadlift looks down at his chest Oh. * Waitstate looks to Restore, giving her a "should we tell him?" look That blast Crimson hit me with must have done something. I feel fine now though. blast? When he decided to blindside me. We aren't entirely sure what happened with him in all your rush, we didn't get all the answers I remember leaving with Takedown, finding Crimson, destroying him, taking his head for some reason and then turning on Takedown. It's kinda foggy though. * Waitstate plugs into a console and replays the "puppet scene" remember this? ... That's... disturbing. I thought so too ugh. t'say the least... * Deadlift turns to Wait I want a copy though * Deadlift grins * Waitstate raises an optic ridge I take it you don't recall that at all then Barely. The more recent events are more vague. I remember Artifice shooting me. :/ *mutters* talk about hangover. yes, that confused me as well Restore, do you think you can de-interlace Deadlift's memory? It'll take awhile, but yeah * Takedown appears in the doorway of the Medbay How is he? * Deadlift sees Takedown and is stunned Better than before Awake... and surprised to see you, heh I think I am having visions again... No visions this time very surprised, by the looks of it. ;) ...I thought I killed you! He faked his death so you'd leave him be Yeah, I'm dead. Wooooohooooo Seems Takedown had more tricks up his armor then we'd alredy seen * Takedown moves at Deadlift with his arms out like a zombie That is not funny. * Slipstream chuckles sorry, hehe Certainly not. Restore, I shall return to our project in the OR * Takedown chuckles "Hey, you shot at me. I should at least get to play dead bot walking." Alright, I'll be there in a minute What project? Not for me to say. but don't worry, it has nothing to do with you anything t'do with Diabie? I'm just a doctor *shrug* heh, sure. Anyway... I'd like to keep you here in a security field for a while for observation. With all that's happened, I hope you understand ...a security field? Is that necessary? Yeah, I'm not much for cages. Well, the good doctor isn't exactly equipped to defend herself should you have a... relapse Well, even if it did happen, she is a medic. We can confine you to your quarters for a few hours until I get memory figured out if you prefer How 'bout I just stay around here for a bit? I can keep an eye on him. fair enough. Quarters would be fine. Some quiet time alone would be good. Takedown can guard the door, if you want. I suppose... I'd like Recoil to be there as well Like he could get past me. Hey, I already killed you once. I let you. Suuuuuure. it took Recoil AND Backtrack to stop him before neither being terribly small bots themselves. Anyway, I'll get started on this stuff and let you know when I'm done alright Restore * Deadlift gets up. Post the whole Freedom crew at my door if you wish, I'm going to go relax. * Deadlift exits with Takedown right behind him ...alright then *after they leave* what? was I out of line? [com] Waitstate, everyone is ready to close up I don't think so. [comm] alright then. have security sweep the halls for stragglers and such... They remember the drill, I'm sure. [com] got it. Deadlift is one thing, but I don't trust Takedown all that much. Let's just hope his brain doesn't do something similar even if it doesn't... he's already deceived us once. And he came with Crimson, lets not forget that granted * Recoil arrives at Deadlift's, and takes a guard position well, there isn't much left on Diablo's new body to do, we're just finalising a few things now, so I'll get that out of the way before working on Deadlift's memory * Diablo leaves his quarters with a small swarm of spiderbots following him alright then... I admit, I'm anxious to see that * Splitwit enters his quarters and falls asleep *Snore* * Deadlift arrives at his quarters with Takedown Hey Recoil * Recoil glares [com] Diablo, we're almost done here. By the time you make your way down here we'll be ready * Recoil fingers a few small dents on his arms. "Are you... better?" * Deadlift pats Recoil on the shoulder "Sorry about that whole throwing down the hall thing. I wasn't quite myself." [comm] Alright, be there in a sec Uh-huh... I just hope it doesn't happen again. * Restore returns to the OR * Diablo walks into medbay with the spiderbots * Deadlift enters his quarters and shuts the door behind him * Waitstate jumps back a bit as a swarm of arachnids swirls around him * Takedown looks at Recoil "He threw you? Why'd you let him do that?" LET him?! * Patchwork sits in the bar, nursing a drink and looking around Hey, no big deal. He killed me. Hey bot, we're closing up. non crew need to leave for now * Recoil grunts, then returns to a guard position * Goannis waves to Download as she exits the bar for her quarters Don't mind them, they won't do anything unless provoked * Patchwork turns to Download, nodding and gulping down the rest of his drink, tossing the glass to Down and walking out * Cuffs watches as the last few visitor disembark talk about a busy day... All those little things moving about. I just know I'll step on one by accident, and it'll set 'em off :p Indeed * Patchwork nods to Cuffs as he steps off the ship and back to his hotel... [com] Waitstate, please show Diablo into the OR, we're ready for him now * Cuffs nods to Splashback Looks like they're ready in there. Are you planning to take those... things in with you? * Splashback puts in a command on the console on the wall and the airlock closes I sure am *loudspeaker* Area secure [com] all security bots, you may return to your regular activities whew... being on this ship did NOT prepare me for a real crowd... * Waitstate is glad they'll be with Diablo, and not with him * Download begins cleaning up the bar * Trihorn wakes up and runs to Powerplay's quarters Ok Diablo, if you'll kindly plant yourself in the next OR, we can begin * Diablo moves into the OR. "Sounds like an idea to me" This won't take long *hooks up a few devices* That's good. The sooner the better. * Restore shuts down Diablo and begins the preceedure* * Stuff happens * Restore places the spark into it's new body and activates it So, how do you feel? * Restore runs a few scans * Diablo slowly gets up. "I'm feeling pretty good." *Looks over his body* This body is perfect everything checks out. *disconnects stuff* Better go show Waitstate before the curiosity kills him * Diablo commands the spiderbots to latch onto the old body What do you want done with that, btw? I think I'll take care of it. It can stay in my quarters Thanks a lot for doing this. Finally free from the alien tech at last uh.... well... ok then... i guess. * Diablo steps out of the OR * Waitstate stands up Wow... Pretty spiffy new look! Thanks how does it feel? * Diablo stretches his wings slightly "These are going to take a bit of getting used to. Otherwise, absolutely fine." * Waitstate extends his own wings from their storage spots welcome to the club ;) * Waitstate puts 'em away before he knocks something over Hehehe So, you going to want to extract info from our friend in the brig before I get rid of him later? You think we'll be able to? * Waitstate briefly wishes Maximus was here It would be worth a shot. If we can, good for us. If not... stuff stays the same
