* Waitstate changes topic to '-=2000.351=- Game ON!' Yeah, well as exciting as digging in the ground might be for you, I'm happy to stay here and catch up on reports So have fun grey guy * Patchwork listens to old terran punk rock while dancing down the hall, turning it off and walking stiffly whenever someone passes him in the hall Your loss, mwaha ok... everyone ready to go? * Thrashmane chuckles yup Depends on your veiwpoint all set boss Yes, ready. Affirmative. [com] Waitstate, the equipment is aboard, ready to launch when you arrive * Hyperion leaves where ever he was and wanders around to get used to the surroundings * Thrashmane runs a quick internal systems check And on that note, I'll head back to the bridge and leave you lot to it. Have fun * Admiral-Lilwall returns to bridge from outside flight deck * Patchwork walks into the docking bay "Hey, can I come?" thanks, you too ;) * Waitstate rechecks his personal gear and heads to the shuttle * Sunspot is lurking around down amongst the archaeological stuff. * Lifeblood follows Wait dutifully. * Thrashmane follows 'State * Aries and Goannis sit at the shuttle controls ready to launch * Shadowstrike follows behind the rest * Waitstate climbs inside and takes the front passenger seat we're set. I made sure we had proper flight and ground clearences. Well, actually Overwrite did. We're good to go * Knock-Off rolls into the shuttle and Lifeblood secures him next to his seat. * Thrashmane takes a seat * Splitwit cruises down the hallways in car mode shuttle ramp sealed, let's do it. lets Got it. *launches shuttle* * Hyperion heads up to the bridge * shuttle flies out of freedom and heads to far side of planet ETA, 5 minutes * Patchwork looks out the window "Cool, where we going? a VERY old Autobot settlement, from before anyone was thought to be out this far * Patchwork nods "What can I do?" * Thrashmane shrugs * Lifeblood sits quietly, which probably goes without saying. [com] bridge, we're ready to start construction here, just so you know. [com] got it Panelbeater, don't make too big a mess on the plaza, eh? * Hyperion reaches the bridge and accesses the panel by the door [com] We'll try. Panelbeater out * Splitwit arrives at the sims room, transforms, and enters So... anyone else excited? I am Yes. I guess... *nods* I am it seems interesting enough * Patchwork looks at Wait "Excited about what?" so, I suppose yes eh. * Thrashmane looks at Patchwork and chuckles um, about the dig? * Admiral-Lilwall keys a button and opens the bridge door. "Yes, Hyperion?" A bunch of bots got out here sooner than expected. I don't doubt it. Most of the Bots I have known have a perchant for traveling..... * Hyperion enters the bridge * Patchwork shivers obviously and hops up, not liking what ever he was thinking of * Panelbeater sets up a large tarp over a large section of the plaza, and he, Splashback and Tip Over begin some rennovations there's the landing zone I see it, touch down in 30seconds Hi.. Admiral Lilwall, isn't it? * Aries lands the shuttle on the rocky desert like ground** * Two bots and a hook truck are around the dig site. All 3 have a similar yellow/orange/black color scheme Yes, something I can help you with? * Patchwork looks around and then blats in a flurry of feedback 'Wow this run down canty just like brand new with 'This Old Ruins'!" * Goannis opens the shuttle door so bots can disembark * Waitstate is the first one out * Thrashmane exits behind Waitstate * Patchwork stands next to Thrash * Fragment, Aries and Goannis exit after everyone else * Hook truck transforms into a third robot * Lifeblood stands and begins sorting through his personal equipment. * Shadowpaw gets out of the shuttle to stand with the others Nice scenery. For a desert. Greetings, I'm Pinnacle. I run this dig. Are you the LONAC group? There is. I'm as familiar as I will ever be with this body, so I'm here to see if there is anything I can do * Lifeblood and KO exit the shuttle. * Thrashmane nodds to Pinnacle *to Fragment, quietly* I know what you mean... * Sunspot, who has been lurking around but hiding from the dig crew, eavesdrops. Good... *looks at the sun* afternoon. yeah, we are. I'm Waitstate * Thrashmane backs up to Shadowpaw and Fragment "I've seen worse, but this is pretty bad..." * Patchwork powers up his blasters "I don't like it. It's too dead"" Fascinating. *grins* relax kid, nothing but digging here Nice to meet you. These are my partners Dredge and Heavy Haul Hm, there's not much going on at the present time. Unless you want to check over security systems with Cuffs, and trust me you don't. If you're interested however, a group of bots have just started rennovation a section of the plaza to install a new theatre. Wanna help out? * Thrashmane notes his feet sinking into the sand somewhat, and repositions himself *would grin if she could, along with Thrash* It's been dead for millions of years Patchwork. Noo need for concern Any new finds? The info we got was a few days old Actually, we think we may have found an entrance. * Thrashmane turns to SP and extends his left hand "By the way, Im Thrashmane. I dont belive we've met." They think. I'm not so optimistic * Patchwork looks around and nods to Aries Not what I'd call fun but since there doesn't seem to be anything else, I might as well go and see what I can do * Shadowpaw shakes Thrashmane's hand "Shadowpaw... good to see you aboard" :) * Thrashmane detaches his hand in SPs hand and laughs *laughs* An entrance, eh? That sounds interesting hehe, got a hand? >:j * Shadowpaw takes a step back and drops Thrash's hand in shock * Patchwork laughs and extends his hand to Thrashmane "PatchWork" * Thrashmane sends signals to his hand, causing it to 'walk' on its fingers over to SP heh, my pleasure, Patchwork * Shadowpaw steps back again, even more freaked, and bashes into Patchwork "Uh... sorry. Get your hand away from me!" These old Autobot sites tend to have a lot of shielding. We have no idea what's inside or how far it extends * Thrashmane picks his hand up out of the sand and reattches it heh, sorry about that. Won't happen again *eagerly looking towards the site* So just how old do you guys think it really is? We got a strange report * Patchwork shakes TM's hand and laughs at SP "Nice to meet you to" * Hyperion leaves the bridge we're estimating 6 to 7 million years. I'd like to say more, personally. Maybe Haul is right... I am an optimist, heh * Thrashmane walks over to Wait and co. "Six million years? What have you found of interest so far?" so we gonna go have a look or what? Overwrite here is busting to see *pat OW on back* Not a lot. That's why we don't have major funding yet. * BlackFin wakes up slowly, looking around.... * Shadowstrike looks on quietly * Patchwork turns to Wait "So some bot scientist made it out here a little quicker than we predicted...what's the big deal?" This is EARLY Cybertronian. Who knows what relics we may find? * BlackFin sits up, trying to remember how she got in here. * Fuse, his color scheme blending into the sands, observs from a distance Check one. the big deal is a colony this far from cybertron wa unheard of for that time era Interesting.... it must have taken many years with the flight systems they had in those days to reach such a distance * Hyperion enters the plaza and approaches the construction area may we? *motioning to the site* Roger. * numerous construction like noises are heard on plaza * Patchwork nods and looks Lifeblood "Hey Doc, you remember that femme I brought to you a while back?" Go ahead :) But BE CAREFUL! Affirmative. * Dredge glares * BlackFin stands up feeling a bit disoriented, I'm a historian, care is my specialty At present, she remains functional but powered-down. *a flare pops up via a hatch in TMs left arm, TM takes it in his other hand* does that mean I can't touch anything? * Sunspot gets a bit antsy at hearing that everyone's going to be looking around. * Sunspot prepares to bolt for a better hiding place. * Patchwork nods "Wait, it okay If I do some recon? I have a feeling about something..." No, it means you can't BREAK anything * BlackFin walks to the door, and opens it * Thrashmane chuckles at Frag' and OW Well, shall we? *motions to the site* Patch, I suppose. Don't go too far though... * BlackFin closes it behind herself, looking around deciding to inspect this place a little. * Patchwork nods and runs, tfinging in mid-jump and accelerating through the desert * Tip Over moves girders over to Panelbeater *to Patch* keep in touch * Shadowstrike watches Patchwork leave and mutters something about being asked to leave again just under audible range. * Splashback continues to weld some segments in place Hey! Watch it! Damn flyers... aw cool off big guy. No harm done. *walks over towards site* * Trihorn runs from Powerplays store over to the construction area and rams into Hyperion * Thrashmane tosses the flare and catches it several times This is what we get for inviting people... * Patchwork flies through and around the ruins at top speed, using his sensors to echo for anything moving around other than the big group * Shadowstrike chuckles * Shadowpaw follows Fragment, looking around in wonder * Sunspot hears people start to move and bolts from behind one equipment tent to the back of another. * Fuse drops into the sand, and reports the flyer on his com Pinnacle. Yes? * Aries scans some things of interest * Thrashmane looks around the site Admiral Lilwall told me you are adding a theater here. Want some help? I request your permission to enter the ruins and run some biological trace scans. * Patchwork gets a small trace of something, tfing and gliding slowly down So where was this enterance? Slag... * Patchwork readies his guns "Show yourself.....you're here somewhere...." This way. We pulled off a cover plate, and found a wall with a big seam down one section [Comm] I've got trouble Hey Diablo. Sure, Splashback could use some help rebuiling the walls for starters Hm, I suppose so. I hadn't considered biologics here. Why your interest? * Thrashmane follows Wait and Dredge Get out of there, and *don't* engage in combat unless necessary * BlackFin wanders down the halls, wondering why it is so empty and where is she anyways. * Shadowstrike glances over her shoulder in the direction Patch flew, then follows Wait * Sunspot peeks around the corner, sees Patchwork...and, not being the best of warriors, lets out a shriek and runs. * Patchwork hears the shriek, turning and firing at Sun * Fuse relaxes One of my current areas of research concerns a primarily organic variant of the pathogen known colloquially as the Waste. * Sunspot trips ungracefully in the sand. Hmm... I can see why you might think this was a door. That looks like a smashed up control panel there * Thrashmane hears the shot and turns, shocked "What was that?" * Hyperion realises his voice is similar to that of Diablo's and quickly alters it to his own * Sunspot tries the "If I don't move, they can't see me" approach. *nod* Or some sort of exposed circuitry. We aren't sure what kind yet You heard something? a laser shot, in the distance... I think.... I didn't hear anything The Waste? That's some nasty stuff Nor did I. Ok. By the way, it's Hyperion probably a glitch... never mind Affirmative. Which direction? * Hyperion walks over, with Trihorn following Thankfully, its most pernicious incarnation has been eradicated. * Thrashmane waves to where Patch was that way * Patchwork flies over, floating down, his scanner picking up Sunspot "Who are you?" * Shadowstrike sighs. So I heard. I wasn't aware any other variants existed whoa. nevermind, I won't ask. but your help would be appreciated. Waitstate gave us a week to get it finished before we arrive at the next trading station Oh, joy. Ten to one we're going to be asked to leave again, if you did hear what you think you heard... You...you...you tried to shoot me! I hope not.... The data are admittedly inconclusive. You tried to hide from me Primus willing, the analysis thus far is incorrect somehow. * BlackFin sits and waits, for some to give her some answers. I... *sigh* Okay, fine. *nod* Primus willing... * Thrashmane turns back to Waitstate "I'll be right back, don't go in with out me" * Sunspot sits up. *transforms to lion mode and bounds up to where he heard the shot* should.. uh, should he go alone? eh? * turns for a moment, then dismisses the sound he thought he heard * * Patchwork turns off his blasters "I am Patchwork, a member of LONAC, who are you?" Patchwork! *transforms back to bot* Whats going on? (to Wait) He thinks he heard a blaster. My name's Sunspot. I'm...I used to be an Autobot. But now, I don't know what I want to be... huh? Who did? a blaster out here? * Thrashmane watches the exchange Waitstate, I assume he is the one in charge of this ship, correct? * Waitstate is very distracted :) A blaster where Patch went. I didn't hear anything, but he insists. * Patchwork nods to Thrash "I found someone hiding, his name is Sunspot aw slag. again? * Patchwork looks at Sunspot "How did you get here? Her, thank you. And...*sigh* It's a long story. But I'm no spy. Again. *makes an annoyed gesture* Got it in one. Thought you would have known that via being the Tactibots combined form. Assuming your the same guy that is. *Positions some framework and starts welding it into place* * Waitstate shakes his head in disgust * Patchwork nods "I believe you....sorry I shot at you" * Trihorn pushes various materials around with his horns ok *dissapears in a flash of light or somthing* It's just...a week or so ago, I was out here with my...my team. We're a combiner team. We were going out across the Midnight Expanse, but just after we left here we were ambushed by Decepticons. Do you need help? * Waitstate turns back to the "door" May I? Decepticons?Here? Go for it. None of us have had any luck Not on-planet, but out in the Expanse. I don't know if they were operating under orders or just taking potshots at undersized Autobot shuttles. I can't wait to see what's inside, all the aritifacts could very well be still in an excellent quality. * Patchwork nods "Where is the rest of your team?" * Waitstate pulls an electronic testing kit out of seemingly nowhere * Sunspot sighs dejectedly. I'm the only one the salvage team found alive. ....I'm sorry hmm... no current I came out here to think. And I saw this dig going on and got curious... I really shouldn't go sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, I know... * Goannis decides to hang about by the shuttle and observe the landscape * Shadowpaw wanders over to the others at the "door" I wouldn't imagine a current to be still active with this thing's age * Sunspot looks up. * Patchwork shakes his head "No harm done, I don't work here, I am here with a neutral faction named LONAC" You're from LONAC, you said? I've heard of them... That is correct, although the process used for our combination was experimental. The last few years I don't remember much of at all, since I was only started to be formed again recently. *Extends lightning claws and places a panel* bah, don't forget that station we got you at so why not shoot the door open? * Patchwork nods again * Aries glares at Fragment what? * Waitstate hooks up some "jumper cables" That could damage things on the inside Shooting generally isn't an acceptable method on a dig, Fragment. well, yeah, but so what? it's only old stuff anyway I think...if you have any more room, I'd like to join up with you. I'm sick of fighting Decepticons, sick of fighting at all. * Patchwork nods "I understand how that feels.....I really do....want me to comm the boss?" Fragment, it's because they're old that we don't want to damage them. fascinating... * Sunspot smiles. "That'd be really great. But do you think you could help me up first?" * Chameleon kicks a wall Did he say "fascinating"? * Patchwork laughs and lifts Sunspot up, leaning her against a Rock and hitting his Comm *Waitstate, this Is Patchwork" He did. * Waitstate has his comm switched off * Shadowstrike looks at Wait and realizes a response is probably not forthcoming Why did you say "fascinating" Waitstate? [comm to Patchwork] This is Shadowstrike, Patch. What do you need? hm? oh... because the system isn't dead [comm to bridge] Is it ok if I fly down to the planet and take a look at the dig site? I hear it's old Autobot. in fact... sigh. you'd think everyone could go at the same time. *activates com* "Go ahead starstorm" [comm] I have a injured 'Bot here, wants to join our happy little band and was going to ask Waitstate how? it's so old? * The sound of metal scraping and other loud scary noises is heard. Then, with a resounding metallic -thud-, the doors open! nevermind... let's look around!! * Starstorm heads for shuttlebay Primus, he opened it! Heh, nice work. Hey, Wait, Patch has encountered a potential new member. What should I tell him? * Lifeblood observes the doors opening. Fascinating. anything computers is Waitstate's specialty. I'm gonna wait out here. sounds dull. OW will go to keep you safe though, Wait wow, two in one! Bring her to the shuttle and have Lifeblood look at her when he gets done :) * Restore exits her office and notes her patient is gone. You have no patiences whatsoever, did you know that? Right. [comm to Patchwork] Take her to the shuttle and wait for Lifeblood there. great. computer, locate the last bot to exit medbay You have no sense of fun whatsoever, know that? now get going * Patchwork nods and turns to Sunspot "up for a fly?" * Sunspot smiles weakly. "I think I can make it." * Starstorm enters shuttlebay, transforms and leaves for the surface unidentified cybertronian located outside medbay * Waitstate shines an arm beam inside the door good. not far. *heads over to the door* Never thought I'd see myself doing construction work Need a hand? Wow... dusty! Here, let me try... * Sunspot tries to transform, being more suited to the terrain in her hover mode. Construction work isn't as hard as many think it to be, Hyperion * Sunspot manages, after a little groaning. * Patchwork watches, ready to help.... There. Lead the way! Hey Trihorn, pass me that cutting laser Blackfin? Are you alright? * Shadowstrike makes her way over towards Lifeblood. * BlackFin turns, seeing a unknown bot ... "how do you know my name?" * Trihorn picks up the cutting laser in his mouth, then runs over to Splashback and drops it Lifeblood, Patchwork is taking a potential new LONAC member to the shuttle and he indicated she might need some medical attention. you were brought here by some of my fellow crew, they told me your name. I'm Restore, the chief doctor on board Acknowledged. Does this require my services immediately? Thanks... what is this place ? uh, no Trihorn, the other cutting laser. its the one that isn't the wrench you just gave me He didn't say it was urgent. the blue cylinder tool by the box there * Patchwork tfs and flies low "Follow me, we'll go slowly. The Shuttle is due west" * Sunspot follows. I can assure you I've done harder work before. Being a tactical expert is no easy job So, when you have a chance, if you could check with them... Affirmative. This is the Freedom, a neutral Cybertronian starship. You really shouldn't leave Medbay like that, I need to make sure you're ok before I release you * Trihorn runs back and picks up the blue cylinder then rushes back over to Splashback As have I, Hyperion. Leading a planet full of Autobots was a daunting task, I assure you. and yeah to the last question.. I'm feeling just allright. Thanks * Starstorm enters the atmosphere near the dig site * Aries enters the now open site with extreme eagerness * Patchwork does tiny corkscrews and sideslips absentmindedly, "We're almost there....you still back there?" * Shadowstrike nods to LB and returns to the entranceway of the site Yeah, I'm managing! * Restore runs a few quick scans Aries! * Lifeblood stays with Wait and Aries, thoughts of his own exploration of the exterior temporarily ignored. hm? Isn't this neat? :) oooh yeah I can arrange to have you taken back to the planet if you like * BlackFin looks at Restore... "sure" think it's safe for me to transform in here? I have some portable lamps in my trunk * Starstorm gets closer to the ground and transforms to bot mode before touching the ground * Patchwork tfs outside the shuttle, opening the door to it there's ample space over here good... looks like there was a shot after all.... * Sunspot transforms behind him and follows him in. * Shadowpaw follows Aries, wanting to have a good look around * Sunspot limps a little, though. * Waitstate checks the ground and, finding it clear and stable, TFs * Starstorm walks over to the others [com] Cuffs, think you can arrange someone to take a visitor back planetside? we've just healed her up * Waitstate pops his trunk and Overwrite unloads the lamps [com] acknowledged. I'll met her at shuttle bay * Waitstate TFs back and carries one of them to the middle of the room Aries, you want the honors? * BlackFin looks at Restore.. and that is...? I recall hearing when contact was lost with your group. How long were you there? * Aries takes a lamp and looks around, scanning stuff like wild * Patchwork helps Sun to a chair "Just sit there.....Doc's on the way...he can fix everything" Found anything interesting yet? You can get a map from the console on the wall just there. *points* * Waitstate turns on the big lamp and the whole room is lit, though rather dimly * Sunspot takes a seat and look around. * BlackFin nods "thanks." * Lifeblood mutters to himself. "Fifth or Sixth Restructuring, perhaps." Almost three thousand years, unfortunatly. Although we originally lost radio contact with Cybertron many years prior to becoming stranded on that planet * BlackFin gets the info and leaves Restore heading for the Shuttle Bay wow... is that an AE-35 unit? I saw one of those in the New Iacon Museum Hey Panelbeater, where are these slabs going? * Waitstate walks over to the console by the far wall Hm, AE-34 I believe * BlackFin finally reaches the shuttle bay By the far corner, the area needs extra support * Patchwork sits down, jacking in his headphone and turning on his punk music got it, help me move these, Hyperion? There were some who wanted to send out a search party. Others higher in the chain of command thought otherwise and said we should be more focused on the Decepticons. * Cuffs waits by a shuttle hm... 9 pin interface. Not much throughput over that I bet Sure, Splashback * BlackFin spots Cuffs and walks to him.. Sounds typical of Autobot command structure, particulary back then. A shame they never came looking, we lost many good Autobots by the time I made commander Speedy for the times * BlackFin looks at Cuffs... "shall we." * Starstorm looks around the dig site * Sunspot rests while she can waiting for the medic to be freed up. I've found another area over this way *points* yes. *boards shuttle and prepares for launch* * BlackFin follows him. slag, no power here anyway. I guess the doors were on a backup battery * Waitstate follows Aries * Patchwork turns off his headphones for a minute "So why was your team all the way out here, Sunspot?" * Cuffs gets clearance and takes hte shuttle planetside Hmm? Oh, we hadn't gotten our full mission plan yet. We were supposed to report to some base on the planet where we were going for further orders. somewhere particulary you'd like? I guess it was a bit of a sensitive case. * Patchwork does a double take "A... base? Hm, this door seems ok to force open by hand. I'm detecting various forms of equipment inside well, I don't have a place in mind, so anyplace will be good. * Drill_Master runs up to the dig crew You're having a dig party without me? I'm shamed! Like I said, I got the impression it was a pretty sensitive mission. Something nobody was supposed to have the details on. Honestly, I've probably told you too much, but I really don't care anymore. * Waitstate comes over and helps pry the door open * Drill_Master flails his arms at the dig crew * Starstorm looks around for someone who will actually say something * Patchwork shakes his head "Errrr...nevermind...sorry....so How long you been a 'bot? Why'd you quit? This isn't a tunnel, drill bot. It's history I was created an Autobot, lived all my life thinking that was my proper place in life... But after this, after my poor teammates getting killed on a mission we weren't even allowed to know about... I just don't think I can do it anymore. Not the constant warring. * Trihorn runs around some slabs laying on the ground I came out here to decide whether I wanted to just leave things as they were or make a change in my life, and I think running into your group helped me make that choice. [comm] Can someone tell me what I can do here to help? * Patchwork nods "I know how that feels.... I was up there with Starscream on kills and up with Soundwave when it came to loyalty....but When Shockwave sent me and my friend on a suicide mission, and I woke up a mixture of my now DEAD best friends...well, I guess I lost the faith...." Well, I'm sure the bots inside would appreciate some more hands. Hi! Maybe that's the only thing that can stop this war, too many of us waking up to find our friends dead, unwilling to fight for them anymore... * BlackFin looks at Cuff "just get me down somewhere... I will have a flight around then." * Cuffs lands the shuttle by the main city on the planet and opens the door * Patchwork nods "But when all of the friends are dead, who's left to live after the war?" Guess I'll be going inside then *walks to the entrance* * BlackFin walks out That's the trick of it, I guess. It'll only be the handful left who are willing to make peace, and after all that loss... Hey! Come help us with this door! ....Who's gonna want to keep going? * Starstorm spots the others inside and hurries over * Goannis transforms and goes walking in the desert while the other explore the dig On three... * BlackFin runs and tf's into jet mode, speeding up... a lot better now ... But I guess if the ones who enjoy the battle want to keep at it, I'll just step out of their way and let them all kill each other. * Cuffs returns to the Freedom * Waitstate braces to push That's a great metaphor for LONAC really * Patchwork laughs one.. two.. three! * Sunspot smiles again. "Then I guess I've found the right place." * Aries applies force on the door * BlackFin does some rolls and then flies low * Patchwork laughs and hits his Comm *Life, you still busy?* * Drill_Master cracks his knuckles * Waitstate pushes with all of his strength [comm] Um...no. No. I was distracted. I apologize. * Starstorm helps push the door "Looks like you need some help here" [comm] No problem * door gives way I will head back to the shuttle now. I can come back to run tests at a later time. Waitstate, I am returning to the shuttle to attend to the damaged unit. Do not let anything exciting happen in my absence. So, uh, what should I do? Hmm... No one move then! ;) * Aries peers inside the new room * Waitstate grabs a second big lamp Aries> check this stuff out... I hope I brought enough of these... * Lifeblood heads off back to the shuttle. * Thrashmane um... wakes up wow... you think it's some sort of command center? So Wait, what do we know about this other than that it was an Autobot ship? A ship? hm... it could be a ship no, this is ancient communication equipment. * Patchwork looks up at Sun "Her come the doc" * Sunspot looks to the door expectantly. * BlackFin surveys the landscape, wondering if all the bots actually are here somewhere.. nothing ever said about a ship actually. although theres every chance they rebuilt their ship into the colony, it wouldn't be unheard of for the time frame really? Wow... Stardrive woulda had a fit! hehe * Chameleon checks an arm panel on the chance that he has a spiderbot with him * Thrashmane notes that everyone's inside the site, tfs to lion mode, and bounds inside * Lifeblood enters the shuttle. * Thrashmane passes LV and nodds at him * BlackFin spots the shuttle. * Patchwork shakes LB's hand "Sun, meet the Doc * Lifeblood nods to Thrash. * Sunspot waves and slowly begins to stand. * Lifeblood nods in acknolwedgement and points a handheld scanner at Sunspot. What period of time is this from? They estimate six million years or more * BlackFin tf's and lands it's estimated 6 or 7 million years. give or take I don't think it's anything too bad, it just hurts a bit, is all... Given the state and design of this stuff, that could be a pretty accurate estimate Hmm, alright then Minor structural damage. Superficial exterior damage. hey Shadowpaw, bring that main scanner over this way * Thrashmane arrives, tfs, and greets everyone * BlackFin walks to the shuttle Field repairs will alleviate neurological disruption and prevent interference until full-scale medical equipment is available. Hey there Thrash. Look at all this... stuff! *ahems* What's going on? wow, thats a lot of stuff...? * Patchwork waves to BF "Hey BlackFin" * Shadowpaw looks over and grabs the scanner, before walking over and handing it to Aries * BlackFin smiles "hey Patchwork" * Starstorm walks around the room can I come in? Anything you can do would be appreciated. * Lifeblood opens a panel into Sunspot's interior. we might be able to extract the last few signals sent or recieved with this scanner * Sunspot giggles. * Shotlock hides in the shadows, near everyone* [Comm] Check two. KO, rerouter. * Sunspot gets distracted watching all the people going in and out of the shuttle. * KnockOff extends a medical device to LB. * Patchwork waves a hand "You joining the family BlackFin?" * BlackFin shrugs.. "perhaps, I don't know, it's not like I can get much going on here, what do you think, is it a good idea to join?" * Starstorm opens a panel on her arm and lets a Spiderbot out * Lifeblood sets about rerouting Sunspot's neural grid to eliminate the pain signals. hm, I'm picking up one trace. terminal four. it's in bad shape, but you of all bots might be able to do something with it. there's a black box under its second panel Ooooooo... That feels much better. right *nods, as if to agree with Waitstate* I don't know much, but what can I do? This seems interesting... * Waitstate walks over * Patchwork nods "At leasts it's a place to cool your engines and everyone's real nice.....cept for the bartender, but we won't go ino that" * A large ship drifts just outside the Freedom's scanning range I think I can adapt a connector * Lifeblood closes the panel. That should allow you full functionality until such time as replacement parts can be arranged. * BlackFin nods "I see, so a pretty nice place, to be at... I guess it wouldn't hurt to join, at least they fix ya, when needed" there, got it * Sunspot leans a little to the side, testing things. "That feels *much* better..." Thanks so much! * Lifeblood nods. hm... no active memory * Lifeblood heads back out of the shuttle towards the dig group. heh, I suppose there wouldn't be, eh? ahh... non volatile memory! Doubtful. * BlackFin looks at Sunspot.. "I think I know you... you were on the planet before they *motions to Patch* came in." Do we know anything about the group who put this thing here? * Sunspot nods. "I've been hanging around here for a few days now." * Patchwork looks at Sunspot and BlackFin "You two know each other?" just that they seem to be autobot colonists. nothing else * Lifeblood arrives. * BlackFin looks at Patch.. "as much as a 'bot and 'con can know each other yeah..." * Sunspot shrugs. "Not really, just ran into each other a couple times back in town..." I have some data. Pure text... thank goodness THAT convention hasn't changed over time "ran into".... would be quite a perfect word to describe that * Patchwork laughs * Aries get very excited what does it say??? * Thrashmane leans over Waits shoulder "What that guy said" * Sunspot turns to Patch. "So do you think there's anything to help out with around here?" * BlackFin watches Sunspot for a bit more then turns away sighing... "yeah Patch ?" * Starstorm walks over to the others, with spiderbot following * Patchwork shakes his head and takes off the face plate over his mouth "Nah, I was going back up to the ship, I need to recharge, Y'all should go up there and see if you can stake out some room or something... not much. It's pretty degraded. All I can make out without further cleanup is "all transports clear for departure" Hmm, can't really make orbital flights... Maybe I'll stick around down here 'till I can get a ride. * Lifeblood moves to Thrash's shoulder and clears his subvocalizer. haven't talked to the boss.. dunno if he's even letting me get into your little family hmm? *turns to LB* Yes? Thrashmane. Has anything of note been discovered? Uh.. the boys here found some records or somthing sounds like they were all leaving * Patchwork rubs his head "Alright, Well, anyone up for a scouting run? I just feel like flying..." yeah! We ought to get this data back to the ship. We have better equipment to clean up the data there Maybe I'll take a look around the site and see if anyone needs a hand. I suppose so how much cataloging has OW got so far? Assuming that this was a colony, there would be other structures nearby, right? Aries. Have you been able to determine an exact time period for the ruins from their design as of yet? I have a full record of all activity so far * BlackFin looks at Patch and Sun.. "so we going or not?" * Patchwork nods to Sunspot "Don't overstress though..." and leans in whispering "Most of these guy are history nerds" and turns to Black, waving at the door "After you" nothing exact, but I'd say 6 and a half million year is a good start * Shotlock slides out of the area quietly * Sunspot grins. * BlackFin runs out tf-ing to jet mode and speeding up.. "so what did ya tell her?" * Lifeblood nods. [Comm] I'm outta here. Winter can handle the rest *transforms to jet mode and takes off, zooming past Blackfin* * Trihorn runs past Hyperion and rushes into the bar and runs around in there before coming to a stop * Sunspot idly wonders if there're any good snacks on the shuttle, but decides she doesn't wanna get caught looking like she's looking for something. hey! * Patchwork tfs and speeds up, jockeying with black and laughing "Nothing-what was that?" seeing Shotlock and speeds after him "Let's GO!" Sixth Restructuring, then. If I retain my old historical downloads intactly. Slag! *speeds up* * BlackFin speeds up as well " yeah! " [Comm] I've got trouble, Fuse? If anyone knows, it's you :) [Comm] Im on it! *transforms to jet mode and flies up behind Fin and Patch* * Sunspot steps out the door just in time to see Shotlock speeding across the sky. * Slipstream heads for the observation deck * Patchwork's photon missles unfold, firing a three missle salvo at Shotlock Get out of there! * Sunspot decides he's got enough on his tail as it is. /:) whoa... * Shotlock hits the breaks, watching the missiles flash past him Gotta be better than that! [com] Uh, this is Goannis to dig team.... anyone copy? How much longer am I going to have to stay in here for? * BlackFin flies right at Shotlock flying upside down over him. * Drill_Master runs up to the dig crew [comm] Yes, Goannis, go ahead Hey guys, sorry I'm late, I missed the first flight [com] I can hear lots of weapons fire, I think something is wrong... * Patchwork laughs and tfs, grabbing Shotlocks wings "I was trying to make you stop" * Fuse drags up from behind Fin and fires wildly * BlackFin makes wild spins and dives... "yeeehaaw!" [comm] coordinates? * Slipstream sits in the observation deck and starts tinkering with a demo sphere. [com] 3-3 mark 8, grid beta Brilliant! *Flies up from behind Patch, in bot mode, and rams him off of SL* You want to join this dull little party? The real fun is out here! *points to missiles and such" * BlackFin pulls hard up hitting the brakes making a barrel roll and appearing behind Fuse Slag! [comm] I'm on it. * BlackFin shoots a salvo of missles at Fuse. I said get *out of there*!! * Patchwork grunts as he bear hugs Shot, grabbing the nosecone of Crosscut and shooting into his cockpit * Shadowstrike transforms and takes off for the coordinates Goannis indicated * Fuse leaps straight up and hits the afterburners * Crosscut grunts and takes out his blade Party time! * BlackFin makes a hard turn to the left * Shadowstrike arrives on the scene. None of that, brother! You heard Soviet, we're out of here * Patchwork backs up, flying up and diving down torwards Crosscut, his forarms in front of his face [comm to Patchwork] Just what is going on? Comm to SS "Can't talk, fighting" Commander, I have been preforming random scans of the site our rtoops ventured forth to. I have now detected weapons fire [comm] Disengage. *N-O-W*. * BlackFin speeds up after Fuse. * Fuse breaks out of the atmosphere What?? [com] Freedom to dig team, request status * Shotlock and Crosscut, both in Seeker mode, hit the afterburners and shoot towards the sky * BlackFin makes a turn and returns down to Patch and Crosscut * Patchwork grumbles and backs up, flying diagonally up from Cosscut "Black, dont pursue, they're-ugh!" and grabs hole in his chest where Crosscut impaled him * Slipstream leaves the obsv. lounge and heads for the bridge * BlackFin flies next to Patch.. "ya ok?" [comm] When I figure out the status, you'll be the first to know. Patch managed to engage in a firefight with some seekers... * Goannis decides she'd feel safer back at the shuttle and heads there at top speed * Sunspot watches with concern as she notices Patch looking hurt and glances around for Lifeblood. [com] does Waitstate know? * Slipstream arrives on the bridge * Fuse, Crosscut, and Shotlock fly into a medium sized ship [comm] Patch, return to the shuttle and have Lifeblood take a look at you. [com] Do what you can to have our guys stop fighting, we don't want to be booted from here as well * Patchwork sputters, floating to the ground "Yea, I'm fine....I'm fine, but that one called 'fuse'.... fighting goin' on, aye? * BlackFin tf's back and lands on the ground next to Patch... [comm] Tell me something I don't know, Lil. I think it's under control. Wait doesn't know...yet. He's in relic heaven. * The ship turns away from the freedom, and slowly moves away * Sunspot runs over to where Patch and Fin landed. [com] let me know asap. freedom out. * BlackFin sighs... "they got away." You could say that Slip Hello, anyone out there? [comm to Shadowstrike] "One of the seekers was spying on the site earlier, I spotter something other than Sunspot moving...ugh....B-black? could you hand me that? *points to large armplate in the sand" heh. what else is new? * BlackFin nods.. picking up the armplate * Shadowstrike transforms from jet mode and lands near the group. * BlackFin gives it to Patch. * The ship dissapears into hyperspace.. poof! * Hitchhike enters the brig now what? well you shouldn't go around loosing things like that ya know.. it's not like you get 'em in every store or something * Patchwork holds the plate to the hole, slowly the plate sinking back into place, stumbling over and getting to his feet * Sunspot find the two jets and sees Patch's injuries. "Ouch... You want me to go get the doc?" [comm to Lifeblood] I hate to interrupt you again, but Patchwork needs some help. * Drill_Master walks up to Waitstate So, what have I missed? No, I'll be okay Sun....You and Black okay? You should have reported it, Patchwork, rather than engaging in combat with them. I would've thought *I* would have been more informed about this About time someone showed up. How much longer do I have to stay in this slagging cell? I've been in here more than long enough Drill Master? When did you get here? Acknolwedged. My presence at the dig is more a personal matter than one of practical or obligatorial type as it is. I didn't realize you were in to archaeology * Lifeblood heads out again, not bothering to interrrupt Wait this time. They didn't hit anything near the shuttle. * Thrashmane coughs I took another shuttle, hope you don't mind [comm] I can send him back to the Freedom if you'd rather, Lifeblood. * BlackFin grins.. well we had some fun , didn't we. * Patchwork turns to Shadow "I know, but I dismissed it until I saw him and his buddy speeding away... Archaeology nothing, I'm here for the underground adventure You'll been in here for as long as Waitstate sees fit. I'll mention you to him when he gets back to the ship, but he's the only one who's letting you out according to him This is close enough, heh well, I doubt we'll be actually drilling or tunnelling... You should know better than to open fire on unidentified bots. They weren't unidentified....I KNEW one of them... When he gets BACK to the ship? How long is that going to take? beats me *leaves* Who gave you the authority to pursue? Did it OCCUR to you to report it? * Lifeblood arrives at the shuttle. Again. * BlackFin looks at Shadowstrike.. hey he didn't report it, fighting over this now is useless.. what's done is done * Aries heads over to Wait and Drill from another room Fine, I'll find other ways out then. *enables cham mode* Waitstate, look at this * Shadowstrike glares at BlackFin Aries, where'd you go? Hey, I knew Shotlock! He a seeker of the highest order! Con command wouldn't send him out here for vacation photos! * BlackFin glares back. Unit Lifeblood reporting. * Sunspot doesn't get involved in the argument, having intruded enough as it is. welcome to try. you're in a cubed force field. and even if you did get out, I'd imagine it would give waitstate more cause you put you back in, or boot you out Then you REPORT it. You don't just go OFF on your own and decide to open fire unless you are fired upon. this way found another room * Waitstate follows what's in it? * Thrashmane follows Aries * Shadowpaw follows Wait This room appears to be a control room of sorts Well, whenever you're in an unsecured area you can always use a back-up way out * Patchwork opens his mouth, but sighs and nods, "Sun....black....you two are alright?" * Drill_Master follows I'm fine, Patch. Really. nothing to worry about, and you? but the interesting part is that there's a backup battery of sorts here as well. never been used, probably might still work true... still, I'd hate to tear any of this up :) That could be a help oho! * Panelbeater surveys the work done for the day * Splitwit drives around the ship Lifeblood, see to Patch. Patch, when you're able, report to Admiral Lilwall. If he feels thats neccessary he's more than welcome too. I'll just come back and keep causing trouble for the lot of you show me... I'll test the lines then try and hook in the power if I can * Patchwork nods "I'll be fine....I...just need to recharge..." and limps back to the shuttle Acknowledged. Good work guys. I think that'll do us for today * Lifeblood follows Patch at a respectable distance. * BlackFin nods, giving Shadow a glare before following. * Shadowstrike adds... "And stay out of trouble. If you get us booted from this planet, Wait's likely to throw you in the brig and lose the access code." * Slipstream sits down at one of the bridge stations and idly starts throwing a demo sphere up and down. * Sunspot smiles weakly and heads back to the shuttle herself. Works for me, I could use a good recharge. Later bots * Tip Over heads back to quarters over here. *points to area of dusty sockets* * Hyperion walks off and makes his way to the sim room * Patchwork mumbles about Shotlock and kill ratios holding his hand over a long gash on his side * Waitstate hooks in his testing kit [comm to Lilwall] Situation under control. Have the locals run us out yet? *to Wait* anything I can do to help? * Slipstream sees how close she can get the sphere to the ceiling without actually hitting it. not quite yet, but maybe in a minute * Thrashmane tosses the flare up and down out of boredom while watching Wait and Aries go to work [com] fortunately not. I don't think they detected it. see you soon need a hand... anything? * Shadowpaw nods and keeps out of Wait's way * Patchwork hops into a chair "Sorry about that you two" he says to Spot and Fin "It's not usually like this...I suggest we all just rest..." * Sunspot stands outside the shuttle and watches as well, not thinking her historical knowledge is up to helping out very much. *clunk* oops... ok... I think I can hook in this power, but a some equipment may blow out * BlackFin shakes her head "I'll take another flight rather, I'll be back when yer fixed" * Slipstream hopes nobody notices the slight dent now in the ceiling. Patchwork. And cause a back-blast closing us withing this structure! * Hyperion enters the simroom and immediately begins construction of a new program Yea Doc? You autorepair systems can acceptably handle this level of damage? * BlackFin waves and runs out tf'ing back to jet mode, speeding up. * Sunspot, standing by the doorway, turns to hear the diagnosis. * Shadowstrike goes off to find Wait DM: you just hope ;) hehe * Patchwork shakes his head "Nah, I need the scrap for it, Spot, you going back out too...?" I will stabilize your systems while materials are gathered. I think I'll just watch for a bit. I can only be of so much help down here. * BlackFin tests some manoeuvers she didn't do for so long. * Starstorm picks up the spiderbot and puts it away "Seem's like there's nothing I can do here. I'm heading back up to the ship" I'm going to hook it in now, if that's ok. SP, bring me that cable *points* * Slipstream goes back to seeing how close she can get her sphere to the ceiling * Splitwit arrives outside of the bridge and dings the door or whatever * Shadowpaw grabs the cable and hands it to Wait, watching closely over his shoulder * Patchwork nods to spot and smiles "Just rest, or catch a shuttle up to the ship, it's realllll cool" and laughs and coughs, turning back to Life "Doc,....I gotta switch off for a while, that interfere with your repairs?" [comm to Lilwall] Oh, and Lil? Patch has a report to make to you when he's through being repaired. Negative. ok, stand back... everyone ready? If anything, they will be facilitated. So I can? Ready * Drill_Master gives a thumbs up [com] got it * Starstorm heads back to the surface * BlackFin dives back down to the ship and tf's before landing * Sunspot sits down next to the shuttle and sighs, not ready to leave the planet just yet. You can. * Goannis arrives back at the shuttle and returns to robot form * Patchwork sighs and his eyes become dimmer, his mind going into stand-by * BlackFin enters, looking at Patch then at doc. * Fragment kicks some rocks around out of boredom by the shuttle * Thrashmane ties a small string to the flare and plays yoyo with it * Lifeblood runs a few tests on Patchwork's wound. * BlackFin watches doc work with interest.. * Hyperion runs the program and sees a model of his old body slowly spinning around when you are * Starstorm transforms upon reaching the surface and flies back to the ship 'Bout time alright then... now! * Waitstate hooks in the cable and throws ze switch! Nothing happens. well that was a let down. very oh, heh... * Slipstream wonders what'd happen if she threw Scrabble at Lilwall. * Waitstate hooks in the other end of the cable * BlackFin looks at Sunspot.. "so you are.. joining them?" * Splitwit heads twards the simulator room, needing somthing to do * Lights come on yay! I think I am, yeah. * Thrashmane blinks "Purdy" * Lifeblood finishes up stabilizing Patchwork's generators. Aries?? I had there's some data still available, most of it's probably degraded by now * Lifeblood looks around the shuttle. * Slipstream starts bouncing the demo sphere off a bulkhead It's certainly a better option than going back to the Autobots. Urg, this place is such a mess Hey hmm? * BlackFin nods ...yeah, specialy to the Autobots. * Drill_Master whipes off a few spots on the wall Is there a unit present who will maintain watch over Patchwork while he is deactivated? Stop that. I've got reports to do heh, sorry. * Splitwit walks into the sims and sees the model and Hyperion [comm] Feel free to open the shuttlebay doors any time now, I'm coming back to the ship. * Waitstate watches a few consoles start to boot up Woah... wrong time to be in here...! * Sunspot looks back over her shoulder through the doorway. "You wanna take that one, BlackFin, or should I?" well, there's four of us here, Lifeblood. I think we'll manage * Hyperion looks over his shoulder * BlackFin thinks, well, I got nothing else to do.. I will. 'Kay. It's kinda nice watching everything going on out here anyway. [com] opening now, starstorm * Thrashmane whistles * Hyperion ends the sim and leaves for his quarters Acknolwedged. * Splitwit gets out of Hyperion's way * BlackFin nods.. walkin to Patch.. "hey lifeblood is there any movies on this flight.. err shuttle?" Contact me on the standard frequencies when I am inevitably required again. * Lifeblood cocks his head and looks at Blackfin oddly. Starstorm> [comm] Thanks * Lifeblood heads back to Wait and the others. * BlackFin looks at blood.. "ok, I'll take that as a no." * BlackFin sits down * Starstorm enters shuttlebay and reverts to bot mode * Firestorm rolls out of his quarters in flametank mode * Splitwit opens a comm to the bridge "Hey, anyone in there wanna join me for a little tussle in the sims?" * BlackFin goes back to watching patch [com] no. [com] Sure, Split. hang on a sec, I'll be right down. * Sunspot sits and broods a little more. [com] no thanks, I'm working. * Firestorm watches Hyperion rush past [comm] your da boss * Slipstream leaves the bridge and heads for the sims * Shadowstrike enters where Wait, SP and Drill Master are and watches them work. [comm] Aw, have a little fun Lil ;) So you think you can get any data out of this thing, Wait? *hopeful* [com] you wanna finish these reports? I'd be glad to let you yeah, looks like I can actually [comm] neva mind cool! * Firestorm rolls into the open sim room door and lets his flamers fire away woah! * Splitwit ducks Hehehe, nearly got ya! very funny * Firestorm transforms * Lifeblood arrives back at the dig site and observes Wait's progress. It'll take me some time to work up a compatable interface protocol though. I don't have anything on hand that will work I'm guessing Hyperion was just here * BlackFin wonders why there's a need to watch over Patch, like he's not safe in the shuttle. [com] Split, won't be able t'tussle with ya in the sims. maybe later, okie? [Comm] Sure thing * Splitwit gets shot down :( as much as I hate to suggest it, but if you don't have the means on you, maybe we should call it a night. there isn't actually much else in here, and we can't take items back to work on * Waitstate sits in a creaky old chair yeah, you go on... I'm going to try and write up an interface... Need some help? I suppose I should go as well alright then. I'll gather everyone up Gonna get a sim going or not? [com] hey everyone, gather back up on the shuttle, we're heading back for the night * Shadowpaw heads back to the shuttle woo! finally! * Shadowstrike waits for an answer. * Thrashmane tfs to lion mode and trots off twards the shuttle * Fragment jumps on board the shuttle, past BF and Sun * Sunspot stands up, not sure she's ready to leave the planet yet but knowing she needs to get her wound fixed up properly. * Lifeblood takes a last look around the room. * Sunspot gets on the shuttle. * BlackFin looks at Fragment.. "hey watch where ya going" You sure you wanna stay? I was assuming we'd be back tomorrow anyhow * Thrashmane gets on the shuttle, tfs, and takes a seat hm? *looks up and sees Strike* hey toots, no hard feelings I said, do you need some help? c'mon spots go with the lonac family.. you can come back tomorrow Yeah Aries, I'll stay. I can make my own way back to the ship if I need to * Thrashmane notes several scorch marks outside in the sand Strike: you know anything about ancient Autobot networking protocols? What happened out there? * BlackFin sighs and waits for everone to get in Ok then. Send me whatever you find though :) *heads back to the shuttle* Yeah, maybe I'll look around the ship tonight and come back for a little bit tomorrow... * Goannis enters the shuttle and gets it ready for lift off Not ancient, but I do know some about *old* Autobot networking protocols... * BlackFin waits .. "c'mon, ya slow or what???" * Aries exits the site and thanks Pinnacle and team before entering the shuttle as well * Shadowpaw sits down in the shuttle * Thrashmane, not getting an answer, leans back * Lifeblood heads back to the shuttle himself. * Sunspot finds a good seat. * Thrashmane notes the two new bots hm... can't hurt *motions to a working terminal* have at it? boy... I missed a lot It was our pleasure. you helped a great deal today We have everyone? I know Wait is staying behind... anyone else? bah * Shadowstrike takes a seat and begins to work on the terminal. * Firestorm reverts to tank mode and drives off ok are we going now? I'm set. Look at all familiar? * Shadowstrike stares at her screen intently A little. * Aries launches the shuttle, and after getting clearance and the bay doors open he lands it on the freedom and everyone departs * Goannis and Fragment return to quarters * Thrashmane returns to his quarters and sleepness followes * BlackFin stops as she gets out of the shuttle... * Sunspot gets out and wanders around, not really sure where she's going. * Aries goes to medlab with all the new data * Shadowstrike mutters to herself and taps on some keys * Lifeblood heads towards his quarters. * BlackFin looks at Sunspot feeling just about the same. So should I ask how you got so familiar with Autobot computer systems? heh * Firestorm drives into the plaza and stops * Lifeblood has a change of laser core and stops at medbay. * Shadowpaw heads to the plaza * Sunspot turns to BlackFin, as she's about the only currently functional one she knows. "Any ideas what to do up here?" * Shadowstrike keeps typing and doesn't look up You probably wouldn't want to know. * Shadowstrike grins * BlackFin shrugs.. nope * Shadowpaw sees Sunspot, looking kinda lost, and heads over to her * Firestorm transforms and walks into the bar Hi, I'm Shadowpaw *offers her hand for Sun to shake* * Sunspot looks up and smiles as Shadowpaw approaches. heh, you'd be surprised at the stuff I've done with computer equipment. I doubt you could surprise me * Sunspot shakes. "I'm Sunspot. I'm...kinda new here." * Drill-Master takes the shuttle he came down on and returns to the ship * Thrashmane walks up to Sunspot and Blackfin I've broken into plenty of 'Bot systems before. All more complicated than this. * BlackFin looks at Thrashmane 'Evening ladies, my name's Thrashmane. I don't belive I've had the pleasure * Lifeblood nods to whoever is on duty right now and sits at a console. almost by definition, eh? And so have I * Sunspot introduces herself again. :) BlackFin .. Well, don't worry Sunspot, you'll fit in just fine :) Hm. progress... yes? * BlackFin looks at Sunspot ... yeah you will.. One of the routines is still locking me out. Anywhere one could get a bit of energon around here? I haven't recharged in a while... * Thrashmane nudges Spot "here's a tip, go to the bar a lot" ;D * BlackFin grins whispering to Sunspot "he likes you" * Sunspot giggles. which one? * Firestorm decides to give Cham a visit * Shadowstrike brings the code up on the screen and points. "Right here." * BlackFin sighs.. so anyplace for a 'con... ex 'con or whatever ya wana call it, to stay? ex con? Hrmph So wow, this ship has a whole plaza on board? That sounds like a good enough place to stop before finding a place to settle in for the night... I think it's a bad procedure, there. * Thrashmane gets a little bit nervous * Firestorm heads towards the brig I've got that one covered. It causes a buffer underrun in register 14 if you go at it wrong * BlackFin looks at Thrash Yes, the Plaza is *yadda yadda directions* you don't really like 'cons huh Thrash? Integrate what you have, and what I have, and I think it should work. 'Fraid not. Nothing personal, but I was an Autobot... you understand * BlackFin nods.. "I do.." right... hm, nice code Heh, thanks. * Trihorn wakes up, bolts out of the bar, and into Powerplay's shop * Waitstate picks and chooses between the two and compiles the best of each into a single file I should probably get my side fixed up good before I do anything else. Can you give me directions to the medbay, too, Thrashmane? * Thrashmane says where it is By the way, we narrowly averted being... asked to leave again... augh... who? * BlackFin looks at Thrashmane... I hate to ask a 'bot for help, but where can I get a place to stay? Patch. Engaged some seekers in a firefight. * Thrashmane chuckles Any reason? You'd have to ask the boss, Waitstate, about that. I think he stayed groundside Yeah, I could use a spot to stay myself. Not that I'm sure how long I'll spend there tonight, with so much ship to explore... He claimed to know one of them, said he was a spy. I told him to report to Lil after he had his damage repaired. Reamed him over engaging unprovoked, too. Both of you will have to have an interview with him, I suppose * BlackFin looks at Thrashmane... "interview... I hate that" good for you, heh. We need more discipline... did I just say that? I think I can manage that. I'm sure he can't be that bad, Fin. * Shadowstrike chuckles * BlackFin looks at Sunspot.. "I'm not so sure." Discipline? Surely not. Don't worry, he's a great guy * BlackFin looks at Thrashmane ... "oh well, I hope so." He didn't seem to appreciate the merits of the reprimand, but I tried. I'd wager not I suppose anarchy only works with people who are inclined to be well behaved anyway can ya show us around a bit. * Shadowstrike laughs *ahem* of course Well, perhaps he won't want to hear the lecture and will think twice next time. I told him you'd probably throw him in the brig and lose the access code if he got us booted. as the humans say, "amen" Yeah! A tour would be great. Though...after that I should probably get myself to the repair bay... I'll show ya there then :) * Shadowpaw heads to her quarters for a recharge there was a time when we didn't have problems like that. Though I suppose that had something to do with having only 5 people on board... * Thrashmane motions for the door Well, 5 people are easier to keep in check than... er. How many now? gosh... 40 I think. More. * Sunspot follows Thrash. ...oh, HA! * BlackFin follows sun and trash * Lifeblood just now gets it. * Ghost-Stalker enters the plaza and takes a seat in the bar Wow, 40 and on your left, you'll see a door! I dont know where this door leads... but its somewhere boring, thats a guarantee! * Sunspot grins. 40-50 people, some of which are borderline homicidal. Not the easiest thing to deal with * BlackFin looks at Thrash.. they have cell rooms too? * Thrashmane enters the Plaza "And here's the plaza! Big place... about three busnesses in it..." No, definitely not easy to deal with. Ooooooo... * Ghost-Stalker spots Scarab on the wall and grabs him, then puts him on the table in front of her * BlackFin looks around.. "most of the time you hang out here?" Theres a bar, a lesser bar, a game room... and what looks like a really BIG tarp over there... yup where's the bridge or somethin. * Thrashmane points up * Sunspot nods. will you show it to us? sure * Trihorn runs out of Powerplays store and charge for the group *leads* *follows* :) * Thrashmane whistles that song that goes 'we're following the leader, the leader, the leader...' * BlackFin follows * Thrashmane and his loyal followers arrive at the lift * Thrashmane does the stuff you need to do to get it to go up and whatnot * BlackFin waits for the lift to arrive where it should *** Snowcat- changes topic to '-=2000.352=- rp over:)'
