Session Start: Sat Jan 20 23:26:30 2001 * Splitwit is in the bar. natch * Admiral-Lilwall to Waitstate [comm] This is the Grey Wonder. What's up Lil? [comm] Our 'grand opening' so to speak is ready, wanna pop a memo out to everyone? * Slipstream sits on the floor in the observation lounge, pulling several of her demo spheres to pieces and reassembling them * Patchwork is in recharge mode in his room * Lifeblood continues his research in the medlab. [comm] Oh, please do. I assume you'll have a red carpet and stuff, yes? * Arashi leaves his quarters with the stray hellfire arm that he and Hyperion found * Sunspot is holed up in her quarters, design sketches and mechanical components strewn everywhere. * Splitwit orders another pint [comm] you want one? how cliche. anyway, I'm ready to open it if you're ready to memo [comm] *cryptic* Sometime the old ways are best.... hehehe * Scrabble wanders around the observation deck, hiding pieces of Slip's spheres under the couches and generally being a nuisance. [comm] Bring your own :) * Trihorn wanders around the plaza [comm] Bah, insolent :p [comm] I'll be there hehe [comm] modern. cya soon He'll be down in a few minutes * Deadlift kicks back in his chambers watching some old Western on his vid screen Modern... hm, whatever, heh. * Splitwit takes a sip of his drink and leans back, noting the pretty swirls in the booth next to him *to Scrabble* You bring that piece back right now, okay? * Waitstate logs off of his game and heads Plazawards Good, I'm eager to see what the crew thinks of my first on ship construction ooOOOooooh..... *Scrabble brings the part back, then quickly scuttles off with a different one* Gyah, derned spiderbot... * Thrashmane wanders the halls in lion mode * Firestorm leaves the sim room and heads to the plaza * Waitstate arrives at the carefully concealed construction site on the Plaza I'm eager to see this thing [shipwide comm] attention all crew, a new site is now open on the plaza for your use * Thrashmane decides to take a look outside and heads for the OB lounge It's all yours if you want to take down the covers * Splitwit perks up "New site y'say?" * Splitwit stands up, shakes, and heads outside * Splitwit walks up behind Waitstate 'So what is it?' * Backtrack taps the side of his head in rythym waiting for the unveiling. * Lifeblood raises his head at the sound of the comm, then returns to his work. * Firestorm walks into the plaza * Waitstate gets out a pair of really f-ing huge scissors and cuts the rope holding up the shrouds. Presenting... * covers fall * The Showtime Theater! * Sunspot looks up from the bits of wiring she's soldering together, then sets her work down and, curious, heads down to the plaza. * Panelbeater awaits eagerly for response * Splitwit makes a multilayered "Ooooooh" * Takedown looks at Backtrack with an odd expression and gets one in return * Splitwit supposes he should clap and does so * Sunspot sees the crowd and joins in. wow.... niiiiice work! The floorplan didn't do it justice! * Firestorm laughs at the name of the theater and grabs Trihorn A...theater? *notices hes the only one clapping and slowly stops* Oooo, a theater... Good work, Panelbeater. I'm sure it'll help cure some of the boredom this place gets now and then * Scamp walk into the Plaza * Takedown throws his hands up in the air in despair. "That's it! We're a mall." * Slipstream grabs Scrabble just as it's about to make off with another sphere part * Waitstate turns around to TD That's the general idea * Slipstream continues to scold Scrabble before releasing it again * Thrashmane, in lion mode, trots into the Observation Bay and steps over Scrabble * Panelbeater frowns at the not so nice response Mall? *makes a choking gesture* Heya Thrash. :) * Thrashmane nodds and looks at the pile of stuff * Arashi heads over to Medbay With all due respect Waitstate, should our efforts be used to increase our defenses? I mean, we have a lot of enemies out there... Running a little mech bay? Now go bring back all the parts y'hid. The whole purpose of the plaza, bots, was a mall. If you couldn't make that out just by the few stores we have here, you haven't been paying much attention The theater is suitable for movies and stage shows. Requests are taken at the boxoffice terminal. No charge to LONAC members. Our revenue will come from guests :) *looks up at Thrash.* Eh, kinda. more a hobby shop. Can we show 'Transformers: The Movie'? A documentary? if you want to... Whoopie Far as I know, I'm the only one who uses these kinda spheres, so I gotta make 'em m'self. * Deadlift comes running up from behind the crowd * Deadlift looks at the new site Thrashmane, Chinese! A THEATER!!!! SCORE!!! * Thrashmane transforms what's so wrong with some entertainment, eh? This is more like a city in space, not a warship. * Deadlift goes running past everyone and enters the theater see? someone who appreciates it :) * Splitwit gets shoved by Deadlift * Takedown watches Deadlift run past. a bit too much maybe o.o ...the hell? *brushes himself off* I never said I was against it... * Slipstream blinks at Thrash, then goes back to work on her spheres. * Takedown looks at BT "Is he drinking again!?" * Arashi enters Medbay and looks if anyone is there *sheepishly* Well... not him... * Thrashmane chuckles * Backtrack shrugs * Lifeblood is there. * Backtrack looks over the architecture. Hmm... * Lifeblood raises his head to see Arashi enter. * Lifeblood nods in acknowledgement. the costs for this were relatively nil. We had most of the materials in storage. * Scrabble brings back all the parts it hid under the couches Well, there was certainly a lot of work put into this structure. Anyway, I'll be enjoying the view if you need me. *to Scrabble* Thank you. behave yourself now, okie? * Thrashmane flops down on the couch * Roadkill finds his way to the Plaza * Thrashmane watches several more parts fall out of the couch * Sunspot looks up in awe at the whole thing and wonders if they're gonna show any cartoons. Yes, by people who don't work on weapons systems :p * Splitwit clears his throat No no, you misunderstood. It looks good. A lot of work indeed... For a non tactical unit anyway. oh, ok. Sorry, a bit testy over the response so far, heh * Roadkill sneaks up behind Waitstate* Boo. ;) so, this is a grand opening? Are we going to sit here admiring the gloss or go in? * Panelbeater tries to ignore some of the less than good responses and heads for engineering * Deadlift sits in every chair * Arashi throws Hellfire's arm at Lifeblood. "Hi. Me and Hyperion found this the other day. Thought someone here might want it for something" * Splitwit walks in * Waitstate jumps, since he was distracted well, I have some other things to get working now. First one! First one! First one! * Roadkill chuckles * Lifeblood picks the arm up. a little hyper are we? Afternoon. Like the theater? I imagine the owner might want it for tasks such as lifting and carrying. * Sunspot walks in, too. * Splitwit pauses then starts following DL in sitting in every chair Second one! Second one! I haven't seen one of these since EARTH! Yup. Some good work in there. * Firestorm puts Trihorn down and watches the triceratops run into the theater * Deadlift stops Split yeeeeeeees? * Sunspot laughs and joins in. How has it come about that you have it? Not there. That one is MINE. you're the boss *moves* Damn right. *snickers* I've never seen anything like this! * Roadkill glances into the theatre at Deadlift and Split, and raises a browplate "Hyper, ain't they." * Backtrack and Takedown enter * Thrashmane transforms and repositions himself I don't think the owner needs it anymore. Seems he's in itty bitty pieces now Quite... I didn't expect such, er, bipolar responses Geez, I haven't seen Lifter this hyped in a long time. Understood. * Sunspot runs down to the front and sits dead center in the front row. * Scamp walks up to the theater Perhaps I shall have it stripped down and recycled, then. Thank you. * Splitwit becomes the first to stick his head in the popcorn bin Bipolar, aye? Heh, interesting way t'describe it. *enters the theatre* * Lifeblood hands the arm to Knock-Off, who trundles off to the storage closets. I wonder who's responsible for this * Arashi laughs * Backtrack hears some beeping noises * Thrashmane coughs up a circut-ball * Slipstream finishes one sphere, puts it away, then takes out another and starts bouncing it off the ceiling By the way, I need a couple of modifictions so I can merge with the other Tactibots o.O * Backtrack looks up to see Twitch firmly attached to the ceiling That was new... * Patchwork yawns and wakes up, making his way to the observation deck and staring out into space I'll say... *picks up the circuit ball and examines it* Your Bug Buddy need a friend? Acknowledged. Their plans are on file. Popcorn, get your popcorn here! * Slipstream notices Patch walk in, grins, and throws the circuitball at him "heya Patch, think quick!" That just came from my stomach. And you are touching it? * Thrashmane laughs Not anymore. ;) I want popcorn! * Splitwit sings from within the popcorn Good. Any idea when the modificatioins will be able to be made? * Sunspot runs up to the popcorn. Well well, seems we have our first customer * Deadlift shakes his head and looks around again I want popcorn! Whatcha got? Hrm. * Thrashmane noses Scrabble up onto his back * Chameleon makes a nuisance of himself in the brig Need some creds unless you've got something for trade Well, the schedule is largely empty for the time being. * Waitstate walks in to the theater Erm... *Sunspot digs through her hip compartment* However, there is insufficient support personnel to perform the operation immediately. any suggestions for the first flick to be shown? Come on, yer holding up the line * Scrabble settles on Thrash's back and beeps happily * Deadlift looks back at Waitstate. I got one! Hmm... I have a couple of little circuit boards, a couple of coins from the last station I was at... The full shift begins in approximately ten breems. *from in the popcorn* Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas! Yeah Lifter? We could begin then. * Deadlift rushes out of the theater "Be right back!" Ok, I'll come back later oh no.. Hmm, tell you what. I'll let you have a bag free, but you've gotta spread the word I've got a marble I found! It's blue! * Thrashmane curls up in a ball * Patchwork walks down to the plaza, stumbling from a sort of hang over I'm afraid. Anyone else? hehe Ooooo... Thanks! * Roadkill watches Lift dash out. "Why do I get the feeling of impending doom?" ;) I say Fear and Loathing. Good one I need some advertising. I spent all the capitol for that on computer programs to work out the energon-butter matrix * Ruse gives Sunspot a bag * Sunspot grabs the bag of popcorn and dashes back to her seat in the front row. I don't think we have that one on file Ah, solicitation * Arashi walks out of Medbay Just as well... I've got my head in popcorn! * Roadkill sits down somewhere near the back of the theatre * Deadlift comes rushing back in * Sunspot turns to everyone else in the theater. "It's really good popcorn!" Now, where do I load this thing up from? Hit the deck! Whatcha go there DL? You'll see >:) Evil... * Slipstream goes back to working on her demo spheres * Waitstate takes the cartridge Okay, I -definitely- have a feeling of impending doom... * Ruse walks over to Waitstate if this is pornography, you're banned :p * Thrashmane quickly scans one of the finished spheres "What are those made from?" Ah come on, its been a week or two now. I think it's more than past time to let me outta this slag pile * Roadkill chuckles * Splitwit laughs You want popcorn I just know it! You like that weirdo fleshy food * Splitwit coughs out some popcorn and pulls his head out Just play it! I topped it off with energon. Took me forever to figure out how to stop the energon from deteriorating the popcorn alright, alight * Waitstate keys the film in to the video database and plays it * Deadlift kicks back in his seat Whatever I can get my hands on, basically. Grenades, scrap metal, detonators, spare circuits, bits'n'pieces. * Splitwit takes a seat * Sunspot happily munches popcorn. Try this *pops open a hatch on his 'mane'* * lights go dim, and a brief flick advertising the snack bar starts up * * Chameleon pulls off a shoulder spike and starts banging a wall with it * Thrashmane takes out one of his flares Oooo, dancing food... Oh no, don't go to the snack bar! hehe, it isn't open yet anyway let's all go to the movies, let's all go the the movies... Gah, I hate having to pull them off * Roadkill briefly debates MST3K-ing whatever the flick is * Slipstream takes the flare from Thrash and examines it * the movie starts 5000 megawat flare hmmmm... *procedes to pull it to pieces* Space... the final frontier... a place where cat women exist in multitude and a small dorky kid can somehow get the hottest girl in the universe... sweet, haven't got any flare type spheres yet. smoke, explosive, shrapnel, but not flare. Neato, thanx. :) Boy when I get outta here someone's gonna have it coming to them *screen goes from black to the opening scene of a forklift loading a truck...* * FORKLIFTS AND YOU! PROPER LOADING TECHNIQUES! * Thrashmane shrugs "Don't expect to get too many of them though" Ack, Deadlift's family vacation! Yes! * Waitstate stares, dumbfounded * Deadlift moves forward to see the screen better Heh, doesn't matter. If I can figure out how they're made, I can replicate 'em m'self. :) * Splitwit nearly chokes "When operating a forklift, always make sure your belt is fastened..." You're a sly one... *rolls over on his back* * Slipstream continues pulling the flare into its component parts * Splitwit smashes his head into the seat ahead of him ... * Scrabble gets squashed and zaps Thrash Make... it.... stop... Waitstate! If you don't stop this pain, I'm leveling the place!!! * Thrashmane coughs up some smoke and rolls off Scrabble * Deadlift turns around and shushes the others * Roadkill grabs some popcorn from Split and starts chucking it at the back of 'Lift's head * Sunspot turns and giggles at everyone's pain. * Splitwit laughs and joins in * Lifeblood leaves Medbay and heads for a lift to the bridge. Down in front! * a piece of popcorn hits Lifter in the face* oops, hehe * Splitwit whistles and looks off in the opposite direction * Ruse takes a seat and eats some popcron * Deadlift picks up the seat in front of him to retaliate, but thinks twice this is... fascinating Gee Lifter, this is a great movie...! Check out the forks on that one! * Roadkill lobs a small piece of popcorn at Wait. ;) * Chameleon drops to the floor. "Why do I bother? This isn't gonna work at all" *sarcastic* Oooh, shake it mama * Slipstream starts putting the flare back together * Splitwit is supprised when the forklift starts slowly turning *screen starts getting snowy Huh? * Scrabble beeps something rude at Thrash, then jumps onto Slip's shoulder Hoorah! *lobs more popcorn at Deadlift* * an old old documentry about the history of Cybertron starts up yeah, well *beep beep* to you too oh, this looks promising... * Backtrack looks at the screen and starts whistling innocently... * Thrashmane makes the roadrunner noise My movie!!! Oh god this is even WORSE! *Scrabble clicks something even ruder at Thrash, and Slip taps it* Watch your language, little 'un. * Backtrack looks at his wrist Oh gee, look at the time! I gotta go! * Ruse walks over to Splitwit quite the language on that one... * Backtrack turns and quickly exits Would either one of you like some popcorn? ;) * Patchwork walks back into the observation deck "Whats going on in here?" Hit me! * Waitstate tries not to laugh so loud, hehe * Scarab drops from the ceiling Backtrack!!! Heh, I know. Have noooo idea where it picked up such language either... *looks innocent* * Deadlift gets out of his seat and chases after the tank *to Ruse* Yes thanx, it makes -great- ammo. ;) * Thrashmane leans up to Scrabble and whispers 'Sierra' * Takedown watches DL run past and snorts. Racking up the creds * Lifeblood arrives at the door to the bridge. * Thrashmane pulls back and pretends to sleep * Sunspot noticed how boring the movie has suddenly gotten and get up. * Lifeblood keys a request code. * Waitstate gets up and changes the vid to a recent theatrical remake of the ancient Dr. Who series * Scrabble zaps Thrash's nose * Sunspot sneaks up behind Splitwit and dumps the rest of her popcorn over his head. What the..? * Splitwit instinctivly arms himself * Sunspot falls down giggling. * Roadkill snickers, then moves to sit near Wait * Splitwit sighs and retracts his shrap blasters Unit Lifeblood to bridge, requesting entry. this is more like it :) *to Wait* Lively crew. They always like this, or has something been put into the energon recently? ;) * Thrashmane coughs up some more smoke "You know, it's a wonder where I got that circut-ball" Allow entry Human tv. I just don't get it. * Sunspot manages to recover from giggling long enough to realize the movie's gotten interesting again. * Lifeblood steps into the doorway. I wish I could tell ya, heh Very much a wonder. ;) Good afternoon Doctor. How can I help you? * Splitwit gives Sunspot her popcorn back :P * Patchwork sits next to Sunspot "What are y'all watching? Well, they can't be any worse than Slip gone hyper. ;) Hi, Patchwork! I...dunno, actually. But it looks neat. I sure hope not! hehe You obviously haven't seen me drunk... * Lifeblood nods in acknowledgement. * Sunspot tries to get some of the popcorn off herself. Overwrite. * Takedown transforms to bull mode, enters his shell and finds a comfortable place in the aisleway Do you know the current location of Waitstate? * Slipstream finishes putting the flare back together, dismantles it again, then looks through her pile of parts to find similar components in again, out again, jig-itty jig.. * Patchwork nods and takes off his mouth plate, picking some popcorn off of Sunspot and eating it "mmmm, tasty!" He was in his quarters, but I imagine he has gone to the new theater on the Plaza by now. * Thrashmane points towards a particular component with his snout * Sunspot giggles. You mean Slip's gone hyper here and the ship's still in one piece?! Wow. :) * Splitwit shrugs Suprises me too, what with those bombs she tosses about * Takedown whips his tail around chasing off non-existant flies It is good, too. Maybe I'll go get another bag in a bit. Ah. Thank you. I shall trouble you no further. No trouble at all Doctor. * Lifeblood nods again and leaves the bridge. * Thrashmane turns to the window and widens his optics "What the slag is THAT?!?" * Thrashmane leaps over the couch and hides behind it * Patchwork picks the popcorn of Sunspot like an ape picking lice, tossing handfuls at Splitwit "Death from ABOVE!!!.....above average levels of fat and cholesterol that is" * Thrashmane laughs * Trashed-Shuttle slowly makes its way towards the Freedom * Lifeblood heads for the plaza deck. heh, she does that t'freak people out. Always uses a dud sphere tho, 'specially after one particular time... but I think it'd be better t'hear about that from her. ;) * Splitwit activates his thrusters and flys up "No, death from ABOVE the above!" *snort* * Splitwit starts throwing some of his popcorn at Patches Eek! :D * Backtrack ends up in the shuttle bay with Deadlift in hot persuit * Sunspot covers her head. Hey! I didn't mean to tape over it!!! * Slipstream looks up and through the window and sees what Thrash saw You are in for it now, buddy! * Slipstream blinks * Thrashmane reapears from behind it "Hah, gotcha!" * Backtrack backs into a wall waving his hands in front of him * Thrashmane snickers not really.... there's some kinda shuttle approaching the Freedom... 'scuze me? *looks* well... so there is * Patchwork falls over "ARG! Kernel shrapnel!" * Lifeblood walks out into the plaza, looking for an obvious new theatre. *whispering* Thrashmane, chinese! Um, we have a proximity alert... * Thrashmane transforms to robot mode and zooooooooms in * Roadkill ducks some flying popcorn and winks at Wait* Y'wanna show this crew how to have a -real- popcorn fight? ;) * Splitwit laughs What? Why didn't you see it on the long range sensors? Oh no! Somebody call a medic! I think it might be fatal! Sorry... I was distracted :\ heh, only if you wanna clean it up * Slipstream quickly puts away all her sphere parts and tools and heads for the bridge, Scrabble still on her shoulder C'mon, this could be trouble. I'll follow * Deadlift stops within striking range of Backtrack What're maintenance droids for? ;) * Lifeblood heads toward the theatre. * Thrashmane follows* Hail the shuttle * Backtrack quickly draws his dual blasters on Deadlift * Backtrack waits for the reaction * Deadlift looks at the guns. * Roadkill grabs a handfull of popcorn and drops it on Wait's head "Hehe." ;) *panting* Think... it's really... that bad...? Y'know, I didn't like that movie THAT much. hehe * Waitstate shakes it off. "Ugh... hehe" * Patchwork holds his chest and hacks and coughs as he mocks a death cry and falls over Feel my wrath! BWAH! Not sure. From what I saw tho, the shuttle looked trashed. * Splitwit throws the entire bag of popcorn at Waitstate and laughs evily * Takedown gets hit by some popcorn Can never be to careful Grrr * Cirrus hails the shuttle. "This is the LSS Freedom. Please respond" Uh... oh... * Slipstream arrives at the turbolift to the bridge, pauses and glances at Thrash, remembering he doesn't have bridge clearance. ...eh, can't hurt this once. C'mon. Noooo! I'll avenge your death! *Sunspot graps a handful of popcorn from the floor and tosses it up at Splitwit.* * Slipstream enters the lift and arrives on the bridge with Thrashmane Thanks Never been on the bridge before ;) aahhh! * Splitwit gets bonked on the head with some popcorn and falls * Lifeblood stands outside the theatre. * Radkill picks up some of the popcorn Sunny threw at Wait and throws it back I'm picking up a signal... [comm] Heh, so formal in your greeting. Care to let me bring the shuttle in? My face... my beautiful face.... * Splitwit groans Slipstream, take your station. We have a situation. Need any comm help? [comm] Who are we addressing? Gotchya. Thrash, stay clear of things, okie? *sits down at her station* Yes, please do [comm] You'd be talking to Diab * Backtrack and Deadlift head for the bay entrance * Thrashmane nods and sits down at the seat, feeling slightly uncomftorable * Lifeblood heads in to look for Wait. Slipstream, scan the shuttle and confirm If I'm right, we should be expecting company. * Thrashmane plugs a small cord from his mane into the console Will do. *scans the shuttle* *grim* pretty lights... * Lifeblood changes his mind and waits in the lobby. * Sunspot laughs at the others, then picks up a crushed piece from the floor. "Guess I'm gonna have to buy a new bag if I actually want to eat any more of this..." ... It's Diab, I think... signal's slightly garbled though... * Patchwork stands up "Ahh, nothing clears the cobwebs like a good old bludgeoning! * Thrashmane sets up a broadband scan of all avaliable comm channels *tries to clear up the scan* The dragon? * Thrashmane unscrambles some of the frequences Yeah, the dragon. *blinks* Tho... actually, he's in his old form at the moment. Allow entry. Dispatch a security te- hm, it seems one is alredy there. Very well. Let him in. ...incoming. * Thrashmane glances quickly around the bridge Gotcha Will do. *grants the shuttle clearance and opens the bay doors* * Deadlift and Backtrack step back * Thrashmane feels rather useless * Trashed-Shuttle begins its entry into the shuttlebay * Patchwork stands up in the theatre "I want more popcorn!!!" * Deadlift watches the door open and the shuttle enter * Slipstream gets up from the station. "If we're not still needed here, Overwrite, Thrash and I'll go down to the shuttle bay, just in case." Yeah! Ruse! We want more popcorn! * Thrashmane stands up Very well lead the way * Waitstate shakes his head and decided to come back later * Backtrack watches the shuttle land * Slipstream quickly leaves the bridge and heads for the shuttle bay, Thrash trailing behind like a lost puppy. ;) * Thrashmane rolls his eyes * Waitstate gets up and exits the theater * Lifeblood sees Wait leave the theatre. Waitstate, I have a question. * Sunspot notices Wait leaving and wonders if something's up. But doesn't let it distract her too much from the popcorn. * Shuttle door opens and Hellfire's head gets kicked into the shuttlebay * Roadkill sits back and sticks on his headphones, then starts listening to music while watching the ongoing popcorn battle* * Waitstate stops Yes Lifeblood? * Deadlift watches the head go by * Slipstream arrives at shuttlebay just as Hellfire's head slides to a stop near her feet ..talk about welcoming committee... heh. Well... pleasant... Welcome back, Diablo. * Thrashmane picks it up "To be, or not to be. This thing is freaking me out" * Thrashmane throws it towards Diablo * Patchwork throws crumbled up popcorn bags at the screen * Slipstream chuckles * Diablo slowly moves out of the shuttle, most of his armor missing and several small fires inside him Uh.. someone call the doc? Arashi has requested a structural reconfiguration to allow him to combine with the Tactibots. I assume this is perfectly allowable, but I wanted to get comfirmation, just to be on the safe side. Make sure there were no rules governing what surgery can and cannot be performed aboard the Freedom that I was unaware of. * Deadlift moves forward and supports Diablo Whoa, Diabie, you look trashed. Gotcha bud. Why? I don't want this body repaired * Thrashmane looks confused You don't want it destroyed either. You're STILL in it. * Slipstream helps Deadlift with Diablo please explain * Thrashmane also helps Hm, I have no objections. Frankly, it should probly be done ASAP. Thanks for clearing it first though. * Sunspot settles down and starts watching Daleks. I want it disintegrated once I'm back inside my new one * Lifeblood nods. and what about Hyperion? Looks like you already started. Noted. Well, better wait till you're actually -in- your new one before we do that, aye? * Lifeblood heads back toward the medbay. Thrash, check out the shuttle. We'll get Diabie to medbay. *to self* He's a strange one... * Deadlift transforms * Thrashmane calls Medbay "Lifeblood, Restore, anybody?" * Thrashmane also transforms * Waitstate heads off to his quarters to play more of his new game * Diablo turns around. "Don't touch that axe in there" Deadlift ambulance rescue at your service "Dead"lift... fun Perhaps I should check the shuttle out as well. * Backtrack enters it * Slipstream helps Diablo onto Deadlift. * Sunspot is way too amused by the bad special effects. Hold on tight! Thanks * Deadlift tears out of the door towards Medbay * Slipstream watches Deadlift leave with Diablo, then enters the shuttle as well * Thrashmane follows Slipstream into the shuttle * Backtrack looks around the shuttle scanning it * Ruse eats a handful of popcorn Where did everyone go? * Thrashmane takes a look around happy place * Slipstream notes the axe Diablo warned against. Nasty looking thing, that. with all this yelling and venting of rage I feel like a soccer hooligan He said not to touch it. * Thrashmane makes an 'aie' face * Lifeblood arrives at medbay and begins planning Arashi's design modifications while awaiting Welder and Restore to come on duty. I just feel buttery myself. Not that I'd want to anyway. * Backtrack scans it Doesn't seem like much has changed here while I've been gone indeed. I belive following his suggestion would be most helpful... that thing could put an optic out! Well, we have a theater now... * Slipstream examines the rest of the shuttle. Diablo and Hellfire sure trashed things in here... This weapon belonged to Hellfire. * Thrashmane scans for any comm residue fitting name yeah, I know. Seen him using it too. I belive that was before my time Course, I don't think he needs it anymore... yup, 'twas. I think vaping that would be a good idea Heh, Diabie will prob'ly want it as a trophy or something though. * Deadlift pulls into the medbay Theater... haven't seen once of those since earth unless that psychopath Diablo wants it as a trophy heh. Yeah me niether. I wouldn't want anything like that near my own quarters * Deadlift transforms and sets Diablo on a bed * Roadkill falls asleep in the theatre, headphones still playing music * Splitwit watches the cheesy Daleks Oh my god! They killed K-Nine! You Slagheads!.. oh wait nevermind * Lifeblood looks up. Thanks, Deadlift What is the situation? * Slipstream exits the shuttle and starts examining the outside of it Mr. Diablo is here to see you, Doctor. So I can see. No problem, Pyro. Mmm, maybe I'll get another bag of popcorn. To eat, this time. Any preliminary analysis of the cause of damage? * Lifeblood calls Knock-Off over. My guess would be he got in a fight... hehe Just a minor encounter with Hellfire is all * Thrashmane examines the shuttle some more Ah. * Sunspot digs some creds out of one of her other little compartments and gets another bag of popcorn. To eat. I have his arm. * Lifeblood pulls out some instruments and begins stabilizing Diablo. * Slipstream finishes examining the shuttle and goes back to Backtrack and Thrash. Alright, I have things I need to do. I'll check in on you later, Diablo. * Deadlift turns and exits Ahh... you found Nova's old shuttle then. He should have been more careful with that axe of his Shuttle seems clean, though banged up. Don't think Hellfire left any li'l surprises on it. See ya Deadlift Not that I see. I should hope not least, not that I've been able to find. *shrugs* I think it would be prudent to keep a watchful eye on this heap Yup. never know when it could... transform into a robot or somthing * Sunspot comes back with three small bags. "There, enough for everyone, if you can stand the sight of it." I agree. If Diablo touched it, it could be a problem. *tiredly* hot... damn... No, no lasercore here. seems like every thing is I would have picked that up. And knowing Hellfire, I wouldn't be surprised if he left a little explosive present hidden somewhere... AI my friend... AI.. Systems are intact. * Thrashmane looks at Slip then back at the shuttle Structural damage is largely superficial. That's good I guess. Don't bother fixing up this body, just get me back into my other one *shrugs* I might just be overly paranoid though. * Thrashmane detaches his left hand and throws it at Scrabble have fun you two No, your thoughts are tactically sound, Slipstream. Other body? *TM's hand walks around Scrabble* Yeah... The one that Hyperion is walking around in at the moment * Backtrack looks at the hand Geez, can't you people keep your limbs attached!? It hasn't been damaged has it? * Lifeblood 's optic band narrows. Hyperion is... in your body? * Thrashmane taps his revealed flare launcher "Unless I want to blow my hand off, its a requirement" Has he got his own body somewhere? Hmm, now I want a drink. You guys want drinks? NO. That's right, he's in my body. His body is the Tactibots' bodies combined I want this butter out of my coat. * Splitwit sighs* No more...... please ...oh. All right. So where did you get this body? You realize what all that organic matter will do to your systems? You'll be pulling kernels out of your systems for weeks. this is my original body with the alien tech in it *pops out his blade and waves it around as it glows* Aww, poor thing... *Sunspot grins* You want me to give you a shower or something? * Patchwork goes to the observation lounge and falls asleep in a chair Uh...no thank you... * Lifeblood blinks. * Takedown grows uncomfortable and leaves All right. * Sunspot giggles and gets herself a drink. * Scrabble beeps at TMs hand Play nice you two... Once Restore, Welder and I have refit Arashi to combine with the other Tactibots, we can transfer Hyperion's mind back into them and your mind back into his body, which is actually your body. Acknowledged. * Patchwork snores in the observation deck What will I do with the body you are currently in? Uh, actually... my spark only needs to be placed into my other body. I hold Hyperion's spark, he takes over when merged * Thrashmane coughs up some more smoke when his hand is zapped * Lifeblood blinks. It's a wonder I got a circut ball this late.. Okay. * Slipstream glares at Scrabble. "Back t'work, you." Then will someone PLEASE call Hyperion so that we can get this underway? And... enough of that *retrives his hand* Lifeblood to Restore. Your presence in medbay would be valuable. strike a pose...! ZzZzZZz....Ship's stopped....we're out of WHAT?!?!ZzZZzZZZz.... * Thrashmane gives a 'victory' sign to the camera with his newly attached hand [comm] Acknowledged Wait a sec, you mentioned Arashi. He's here? He was here earlier. I've got a lov-el-ly bunch of Coconuts... deeleededele.. * Slipstream retrieves Scrabble from the shuttle He wishes to be reconfigured to allow him to combine. So!.... now what do we do? * Sunspot pokes Splitwit. * Lifeblood nods to Restore. * Restore enters medbay Hyperion convinced him to join I guess? Hello, doctor. * Sunspot looks at the buttery mess that comes off on her finger. Anyway, shuttle seems to be all right. *places Scrabble on her shoulder* * Splitwit gurgles* Not now mommie... do I have to go to school? What's happening? Yeah. I think I will stay here just to be sure though. well, me, I'm goin' back to the ob deck and fiddling round with my high explosives some more. ;) * Sunspot giggles. I have some data to go over anyway, so I won't be bored. Hey Restore, been a while Prob'ly the best thing. eh, I'll join you. I could use some learning in that field We've got a couple of tasks to deal with. I also have some cranial debugging to do, I think. * Sunspot decides to go wander around looking for ideas for her new project. We need to transfer Diablo's spark from this body to his other one, and we need to rebuild Arashi afterwards. * Thrashmane taps his forehead you and high explosives.... now -why- does that give me a feeling of impending doom? ;) ... well it *shouldn't* oh hell yeah. ;) * Thrashmane coughs up some more smoke Alright. Move Diablo into OR1 I assume we shall need Welder or someone here to assist. * Slipstream heads back up to the observation deck Acknowledged. *follows. What, you were expecting somthing new?* * Lifeblood detaches the tabletop and moves it as a hoverstretcher into the operating theatre. [comm] Hyperion, please report to Medbay [comm] On my way [comm] Welder, we got a few things down here that we could use your help on. * Thrashmane enters the OB lounge [comm] No problem, on my way * Thrashmane taps a button on his mane * Lifeblood transfers Diablo to the operating table. * Slipstream enters the ob deck and notices Patches snoozing on one of the couches, then mischeviously drops Scrabble on him *Cheesy music starts playing up* Someday..... *recorder breaks and music shuts down* someday I'm gonna get this thing FIXED! o.O * Welder enters medbay oh-kay... * Hyperion walks into medbay after Welder * Twitch runs down the hallway with a ball in his mouth * Thrashmane bangs his mane arm against the wall * Slipstream sits down on the floor again and within nanoseconds has sphere parts spread all around her. All right. Welder, help set up OR1 for spark transfer. Hyperion, just sit over by the main examination table and I'll be with you in a tick * Patchwork snorts and sleeps soundly in the observation deck * Hyperion nods * Thrashmane lays down opposite from Slip and looks at all the purdy gizmos Got it *enters OR1 and starts setting up stuff* * Lifeblood starts hooking Diablo up to the life-support systems. so... what's this? *points to somthing* that? something that goes boom. don't touch. and that? * Restore moves over to the main console and enteres in a few commands, transferring data to OR1 that also goes boom. and that? You ok with this again, Hyperion? * Twitch climbs into a duct for a moment and quickly reappears empty...uh, mouthed. ...come to think of it, most the stuff here goes boom. * Restore moves back to Hyperion and preforms a few standard checks hmm... interesting except for that. that just time delays the booms. Now, before you go into the OR, I need to make a few tests oh, well NOW that's somthing special * Lifeblood and Welder switch Diablo into standby mode. Perfectly. Someone has to be in control when you all merge, since you all argue so much * Twitch runs back down the hallway again and enters the observation deck * Thrashmane picks up a doohicky and presses a button on it *doohicky beeps loudly* is this bad? * Slipstream glances up at Thrash. *casually* Oh yeah. * Twitch wanders near Slipstream slowly * Thrashmane presses the button again, and the noise stops * Patchwork wakes up, yelling "Get it off me!! Get it off me!!" * Twitch looks at her, tilts his head and his optics blink Ok, those check out... haven't done any drinking lately, good... brain patterns normal, alright. Everything is tip top, just through there, please *points to OR entrance* * Thrashmane transforms to Lion mode and eyes Twitch hungerly * Twitch looks at the pile of parts, then back to Slip lunchtime... * Hyperion walks into the OR * Restore enters after * Thrashmane crouches Diablo's all set. None of the damage this body sustained should interfere with the process. Doctor. * Slipstream snickers at the panicing Patch, absently pets Twitch, and retrieves the beeping doohickey from Thrash and deactivates it. * Sunspot decides to wander up to the observation deck. Good. Welder? * Twitch jumps into the pile of parts and kicks a small metal thing at Thrash's head >_< I have the required tools checked out * Patchwork runs around screaming with Scrabble on his face so y'wanna play THAT way, do ya? * Scrabble beeps at Patch and jumps off, then scuttles over to Slip beeping happily * Thrashmane watches Patch run into a wall * Twitch chatters violently Alright, hook Hyperion up and lets get started * Welder nods * Patchwork runs into the wall and is knocked out cold * Slipstream quickly catches the kicked part, fishes Twitch out of the pile of parts and places it on her shoulder. * Sunspot enters the deck and is a bit taken aback at the chaos. * Thrashmane casually trots up to Twitch and licks his lips * Twitch hunches up and heads towards Thrash with his tail flipping about Behave. *glances at Thrash. You too. ;) Um, hi, everyone. ....... no * Twitch leaps on to Thrash's face * Slipstream waves absently at Sunspot GAH! * Twitch bites Thrash repeatedly, jumps off and jumps into Slip's lap * Welder sets Hyperion up for the proceedure * Thrashmane gallumphs around roaring, pauses in front of Sunspot to say 'hi', then returns to the running and the screaming * Slipstream sighs, gathers all her parts closer so they won't be set off by the still panicy Patch and the now-panicy Thrash * Sunspot gestures to Patches on the floor. "Erm... is he okay?" Ready. Thrashmane, CHINESE! * Slipstream snickers, then places Twitch on her shoulder and Scrabble on her other shoulder. * Thrashmane transforms back to Robot mode On your cue, Doctor. Ok, lets begin Hmm, Patch? Oh, he just had a spiderbot dropped on his face. He should be fine. * Thrashmane detaches his hand and places it on Slip's head * Twitch realizing he is on a shoulder, transforms to cannon mode * Patchwork gets up and grabs for Scrabble "Why you little-!" and chases after Scrabble pausing to say "Hi" to sunspot then starts chasing again O_O oh dear.. * Slipstream absently picks the hand off her head and starts dismantling it. hey! * Restore powers up various technical gizmos and the proceedure begins * Sunspot moves to a nice, safe corner. * Lifeblood begins the systems that transfer Diablo's spark from his body into containment. that's my HAND! N-space microfield generator steady. * Slipstream blinks. "Why, so it is. So sorry." *reassembles it and gives it back* Shouldn't leave yer hands lying around the place. :) * Thrashmane roars Spark is free of body. Stable in isolated containment and ready for infusion. * Twitch transforms back to mouse mode and chatters back at Thrash * Thrashmane looks at Twitch and chirps back Aww, it's a little mousie... * Patchwork pounces on Scrabble Welder, theres some minor fluxations in the matrix buffer for Hyperion's support field, see what you can do * Slipstream ignores the general chao around her and starts dismantling another sphere Got it, adjusting to compensate * Scrabble zaps Patch and scuttles under a couch * Thrashmane detaches his hand and lets it roam around is LONAC always this nutty?

Begin infusion * Twitch jumps off Slip's shoulder, grabs the hand and runs out the door with it Oh hell yeah. * Patchwork holds his hand and jumps around, cursing * Slipstream snickers at the retreating mousebot Acknowledged. * Twitch tears around the corners of the corridors, hand in mouth. Spark is proceeding into internal maintenance systems. Hey, Slipstream, do you think I could get your opinion on something? *ahem* Laser core stable. Steady, adjust confinement laser five microquads yeah, sure Sunspot. :) *continues working on her demo sphere, converting it into a flare sphere* Vitals are normal * Thrashmane peeks over Sunspots shoulder * Sunspot takes some folded-up papers out of a compartment and spreads them open on the floor. * Thrashmane blinks several times Finalise containment release and close up * Twitch retreats to his nest with the hand and begins to dismantle it Spark is free from transfusion grid. * Thrashmane doesn't notice his hand No outstanding fluctuations. * Twitch makes quick work of the hand so... what is it? * Slipstream looks over the papers spread out on the floor I've been working on plans for a little pet of my own, but I'm not completely sure how to manage the wing joints to allow for the right amount of force for flight. Spark transferred. Laser core nominal. All systems appear to be in order, * Twitch makes a victorious chatter and lays down bird? hmmm... some interesting stuff there, Sunny. * Diablo's optics flicker on It's... sort of a dragon. But little. * Thrashmane leans in "Well.. I'm no mech expert but... a thingy here? maybe a dohicky here, and a thingamabob here *thinks, brings out a pencil thing and starts adding notes to the papers* Good, run a final check then it's clean up time * Thrashmane is about to point somewhere when he notices his hand is missing oh my... * Thrashmane reattaches his link with his hand and searches for it * Deadlift enters the observation deck Ah, this is better Well, for the actual flight, it'd be easier to sustain it with minaturised repulsorlift coils. the wings would mainly be for steering..... *scribbles* We'll use OR2 for Arashi's modifications, it's got more room Donor body inactive. Recipient body functional. No obvious errors. Thanks for transferring my spark over What should I do with his old body? * Thrashmane finds a part of his hand under the coutch * Sunspot nods. *Stands up* OK, who did this? Disintegrate it. It's of no use * Slipstream glances up at Deadlift. "Heya." :) Hey, what's up? I am currently missing a hand Not much. watch where you step though, high explosives are scattered about. * Sunspot looks up. "Oh, hi!" * Thrashmane grumbles We should strip it of what we can. Negative The alien tech in it makes it a danger if it stays Hmmm....well, Slipstream, explosives, missing hand... makes sense. The body is infused with alien influence * Thrashmane shoves the part of his hand into subspace and transforms It's potentially hazardous ...all right. * Slipstream just snickers and turns back to Sunny's papers * Thrashmane growls "I belive it was either the spider or YOUR little rat" Of course. wasn't Scrabble, it's under the couch. Hmm. Could have been. Haven't seen Twitch in awhile. saw Twitch run off before with something in his mouth tho. * Diablo gets off the med bench The less of that alien stuff the better. Look the files up on it in your spare time if you like, nasty stuff. * Thrashmane rolls his eyes I'm gonna eat that little thing next time I see him Good luck. Aww, but it's cute. Alright if I go now? it'll prob'ly cause ya t'cough up more circuitballs. All right. I'll keep you in my prayers. it's cute and it's gonna be dead *grumpy* While we are all in attendance, perhaps we should call Arashi and proceed with his operation. Welder, prep OR2, we'll dispose of the body later. You're free to go Diablo, if you could have Arashi arrive here in a short time, we can begin work on him It can also turn into a cannon capable of putting a hole in you *makes gesture* this big... bah Just don't make him mad... I'll eat 'im *absently* mad mouse, how cute. * Diablo nods and leaves, heading towards the observation deck chew 'im up, and dispose of him from a very lewd location * Slipstream continues making improvements on Sunny's little dragon designs [comm] Arashi, better get to medbay soon. They're just about ready there * Thrashmane lays down on the floor mumbling So, whaddya think, Sunny? * Thrashmane scratches at the small gap in his back, where his hand would normally be, with one of his legs [comm] Great. Good to see you're back. Can catch up later I think it'll work well. Is there anywhere on board I can get supplies? OR am I just gonna have to wait until we get to another station? [comm] Sure thing Hmm... I might have the parts to make most of it, and I'm sure we can scrounge up what ever else we need. * Sunspot scoots over and pats Thrash's mane. * Diablo hopes that the observation deck is nice and quiet before he enters * just out of the Freedoms' scanning range, a white and blue seeker watches * Thrashmane purrs I've got a lot of it in my quarters already. I didn't know if I would have access to a supply of anti-grav coils, that's why I started just planning the design without them. * The seeker narrows his optics and flies off I've got a couple of small repulsorlift coils somewhere, I think... * Slipstream starts digging through her subspace pocket * Thrashmane suddenly coughs up another circut-ball * Diablo walks in and sees the crowd in there, then turns around and walks back out I didn't exactly bring a lot of supplies with me when I came on board, so I've just been working with what little I've got. *blinks* That's not very good... * Slipstream picks up the circuitball and slips it into subspace, then finds a repulsorlift coil. * Format suddenly ejects from the console Waitstate is using in his quarters and transforms to snake mode * Sunspot recoils. "Ick!" ah, got it. :) and you are taking that.... why? * Format freezes, knowing he's busted in a bad way * Diablo heads to the bar instead * Deadlift exits the ob deck and heads for his quarters * Splitwit wakes up and notices he's all alone in the theatre and gets an idea * Restore heads into her office and starts working on a med report on the transfer she's just worked on while OR2 gets prepped gonna pull it to pieces later. might be able t'find out why you're hacking 'em up. * Splitwit runs off to his room at the very least, I'll get some parts out of it. you know, I'm sure the medical team could do the same * Lifeblood stands idly in the OR. [comm] Hey Wait, just letting you know I'm back again * Arashi walks into medbay Yeah, maybe you need to see the doctor, Thrash. That's some nasty stuff you've been coughing up. *shrugs* Prob'ly. still want the spare parts tho. ;) * Waitstate looks up from strangling the snake and acknowledges. "good to hear it! Don't let me forget to talk with you later." * Slipstream tinkers with the repulsorlift coil a bit, then hands it to Sunny There y'go. That should be strong enough for what y'want it t'do. :) Oooo... So I can just have these? Thanks! [comm] Alright then. Should I be worried about this talk? Sure, I haven't thought of a use for 'em. Too small t'be practical for much. * Waitstate turns off his cutting laser [comm] nah, just want to be briefed :) * Diablo walks into the plaza and then the bar * Format remotly taps ito wait's console and brings up some data * Slipstream goes back to working with her high explosives. [comm] the briefing is laying in the shuttlebay. His head is there * Thrashmane thinks he'll go to the doc later * Waitstate finishes carving "Kick Me" on Format's back, then throws him out the door * Sunspot pets Thrash some more as she examines the changes Slipstream has made. * Diablo takes his usual seat and thinks to himself * Splitwit returns and shoves a 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' cassette into the projeter and starts it up * Thrashmane purrs some more [comm] I see... last we'll hear of him? Bwahah... hmmm... * Waitstate checks to see what Format was doing * Format lands harshly outside the door and rights himself up now where'd that microcutter go.... * Splitwit laughs as Jonny Dep stands up and says "We can't stop here, this is bat country!' * Restore exits her office and notes Arashi * Scrabble comes out from under the couch with the microcutter and jumps onto Slip's leg* Ah, there it is. Thanx Scrabble. * Thrashmane opens a hatch on his mane with a microcutter in it Arashi, this way please *motions to follow* Hi, spider! or not *closes* [comm] Hopefully. When his spark combined with mine I saw some....disturbing things that he had done while active. what did he want with my command codes I wonder? Aside from the obvious thrill of it * Thrashmane picks up the spider with a paw and sets it down on him * Scrabble beeps friendly-like at Sunny [comm] feels like my fault...his spark came from mine after all [comm] I don't know if I want to hear about it... * Format hacks the computer and open's Wait's door, poking his head inside * Sunspot pets the spider some, too. * Thrashmane briefly misses his hand What is it you were doing in here you little sneak? * Lifeblood glances at Arashi and Restore, startled. such a good hand, never did anything bad... Ah. We are ready to begin the operation? * Arashi follows Restore into the OR * Slipstream glances up at Thrash, sighs, and starts making something else * Format slithers back into the room and taps some buttons on the console with his fangs [comm] I doubt I'll tell anyone if you're making a new hand, I appriciate it but please don't those are your design specs. So? you have clearance plenty to get those Who said I was? * Thrashmane would shrug if he could * Format taps more buttons Sure are, after one final thing * Slipstream works on a flare sphere Arashi, which component will you be remodelled into? ok, I see the differences... you want an upgrade? hrmph. My design :P Left arm. replacing Firestorm's role there * Format taps even more buttons bringing up his whole evil little plot then slithers for cover behind a chair * Roadkill wakes up in the theatre, stretches, and wanders towards the bar * Waitstate reads over it Alright. *Sigh* oh gosh... that is so adorable. But you could have just ASKED. * Format gives a sly look as if to say "me? hahahahahahaha" I would have said yes :p Ok, we're all set then * Roadkill enters the bar All right. Hey Slip, can I see that circut ball of mine for a minute? * Splitwit laughs at Jonny Dep's alligator halucinaions Sure. *fishes through her subspace pocket and hands Thrash the circuitball* * Thrashmane eats it All the equipment is ready, doctors. Eww! * Sunspot squeals. I assume you have a personality chip already prepared? *blinks* Up you get, Arashi *points to OR table* * Diablo looks over at the unfamiliar bot *munching* hang on... this'll help... ok there *Swallows* s'ket, there goes my spare parts... ah well. * Format nods hang on... I'll be right back * Arashi does as told * Thrashmane transforms and heads for the restroom * Roadkill nods at Diablo, not sure who he is Heya there. Hi * Thrashmane comes back and points to the bathroom "Spare parts 'r in there" ... bleugh. figured out my system needed a cleaning * Slipstream blinks, looks disgusted, then goes back to work on her spheres ok... well, go ahead and take it to medlab. I'll clear the project on my end. well, you said you wanted 'em * Chameleon bangs his head against a wall * Thrashmane transforms again and curls up next to Sunny not that way. *grin* Awww, kitty... *pet pet pet* And afterwards you can get that taken off your back, not before :p *purr purr purr* You must be new here, don't remember seeing you before I left *glances at Thrash and Sunny* It's a kodak moment... hehe. * Thrashmane grins Yup, just arrived a few days ago. Name's Roadkill *sits down near Diablo* *glances over at the plans* So whats the pet anyway? Minature dragon I'm Diablo * Restore puts Arashi into standby mode and commences reconstruction with the aid of Lifeblood and Welder dragon, thats a new one. My hand would have fun with that :P Nice to meet ya, Diablo. :) * Sunspot grins. You too * Slipstream chuckles but doesn't comment I'll try to keep it a little less... mischevious. But these things don't always turn out the way you plan them. Reconstruction commencing. Say, haven't happened to have seen a silvery coloured spider crawling around, have you? Hehe, hell no. What'd be the fun in that? ;) Y'mean like Slip's li'l black and blue one? No, haven't seen a silver one around anywhere, tho I'm sure Slip'd know where it was. So what do you think of it, Thrash? * Thrashmane nearly subconsiously records a light communqe Yeah. Guess I'll go check later *looks carefully* it looks.... confuusing I'm not much of a tech head, except when its communications Hehe, to Thrash, the daily menu looks confusing. ;) So..what'd you do before joining? Look at the overall picture, not just the details. See, this is the head, and the wings... *Sunspot traces outlines in the diagram with a finger* well of course it does! All them 'bacon and cheese' and 'supersize'.. how do you know where to start? I... don't follow **stuff hapens and Arashi is completed cause I'll be darned I know what to say anymore :)** * Thrashmane points to the 'leg' area "These are the wings you say?" Me? I was an Autobot for a while. You? * Sunspot pets Thrash some more. "Silly kitty..." All systems check out. Reconstruction complete. * Welder wakes up Arashi I was with the Bots my whole existance before joining, same with the other Tactibots except Ghost-Stalker You'll se it when it's done. Which it will be eventaully, hopefully. * Slipstream finishes another flare sphere, then starts working on something a bit more explosive. * Format comes out from behind the chair and looks to Waitstate looking for final confirmation Tactibots? A gestalt group, aye? Yeah, thats right * Thrashmane is overwhelemed by the complexity of the plans and ignores them * Arashi gets up slowly How do you feel, Arashi? Feeling fine * Lifeblood wanders out into the hall. Neat. How long you been with LONAC? * Lifeblood heads toward the observation deck. And now with the anti-grav coils I don't have to limit the body materials to lightweight alloys like I had planned... Yes Format, we'll build him. When the medics have the time Well, you check out fine, so you're free to go Plastic is fine Great, thanks Format nods then slides out of Waitstate's quarters and heads for Medbay * Arashi leaves for his quarters * Restore to Waitstate * Waitstate shakes head silly snake *glances at Sunny* Y'might still want t'keep the components light as possible, save energy. Hmm, been a while now [comm] Yes dear? *snicker* *eyes go crosseyed for a moment* oh dear... [comm] er... is this a bad time? * Thrashmane coughs up quite a bit of smoke and a rather garish looking circutball * Slipstream ignores the circuitball. She doesn't know where this one's been. ;) Yeah, I just don't want to be forced into limitations like that with my already-limited resources. Though if I have more to work with... * Thrashmane groans "I'm off to see the meds, back in a jiffy" * Thrashmane leaves Ooo, poor kitty... [comm] hehe, no. Just feeling silly is all :) * Thrashmane heads for the medbay * Lifeblood passes Thrashmane in the hall. [comm] well I have some scary news for you, *silly evil laugh* er, heh. Arashi has been reconstructed, we now have a full Tactibot team once again * Thrashmane twitches hmmm... *digs through her subspace pocket again and produces some hand sized pieces of some lightweight metal* Try these. Oh. Wow, thanks... [comm] Yippie. Now we have a first line of defense again. Pray that we never need it. * Format enters medbay and brings up some data on every console there [comm] I'll miss Hyperion though, heh No probs. Got too much junk in my pockets anyway, need to get rid of some of it. :) * Thrashmane arrives at the Medbay and enters "Hello? Anybody home? [comm] err, and one more thing [comm] Yes? * Sunspot pulls out the blue marble she found and stares at it a bit. * Scrabble beeps at the blue marble* [comm] All my console have just loaded up some weird information, looks like Format's mainframe * Lifeblood wanders out into the observation deck and stares out the window. Yes, Thrashmane? uh, do you have time for some quick mantinence? * Sunspot looks at Scrabble, then sets the marble on the floor and gently rolls it toward the spiderbot. * Slipstream notices Lifeblood come in Heya Lifeblood. certainly, just take a seat there *points to main work area* * Sunspot looks up at Lifeblood, wondering what he's doing there. * Lifeblood nods at the others. *Transforms* I've been hacking up circutballs latly, and I need a new hand Greetings. * Scrabble beeps at the marble, then pounces on it and rolls it around *sits* [comm] yeah, that's a new project for you. I've cleared it * Format ignores Welder and Thrashmane * Sunspot smiles at the spider. [comm] I see. Ok, I'll start on it now, should be done tomorrow, we've little to do here otherwise [comm] heh, alright. Keep me informed [comm] Will do. Medbay out Well, think I'll wander into the observation lounge again. Later, Roadkill * Sunspot pats the little spider. er 'hacking' up circuitballs is not good, you'll need more than mere maintainence. * Scrabble beeps and continues rolling the blue marble around well, do what you can. It's costing me a date ;P * Sunspot smooths out her diagrams and sighs. See ya Diablo. * Diablo leaves the bar and heads to the observation lounge * Restore enters main medbay Heya Diabie. Nice t'see ya back to normal. Or whatever. ;) Ah, Restore. Thrashmane here claims to be coughing up circuits. * Sunspot looks up and waves at Diablo, even though she's not quite sure who he is. .... * Scrabble rolls the marble over to Diablo and beeps at him What did you do to yourself? uh... nothing really. I lost a hand though *holds up handless arm* Hey Slip, person I don't know Think you can handle this, Welder? We've been given a new task *looks at Format who then slides out of medbay* * Diablo flicks the marble a short distance away Heh! This is Sunspot, Diabie. Sure Hiya. * Scrabble beeps indignantly at Diablo, then scurries after the marble * Welder works on what Thrashmane needs done Hi Sunspot * Restore returns to OR2 and starts work on the new project * Scarab pops up from somewhre and drops on Diablo's head, beeping happily Ahh, hey Scarab Thanks for looking after him, Slip No problem, Diabie. He looked after himself pretty well though. :) * Thrashmane flexes his new hand "Ah, good as new. Oh, one more thing?" * Welder opens up Thrashmane and changes some internals about Hehe, what did he get up to? uh, do you think you could add a small AI unit to the hand? A blank would be great, nothing terribly important * Roadkill wanders the halls of the Freedom till he finds his quarters Not much, actually. Least, not that I know of, and he obviously managed not to get squashed. :) * Welder gives Thrash a blank chip for him to install thanks :) * Diablo finds a corner, transforms to dragon mode and flops onto the ground with Scarab resting on top of his dragon head * Sunspot takes out her own sketching pencil and starts chewing on the end. That's good then You're all done, just a few things out of place * Slipstream watches Scrabble roll the marble towards Diablo's nose thank you very much * Thrashmane heads back to the OB * Welder goes and helps Restore * Thrashmane re-enters the Lounge well now, look who's got a new hand and whoa its the dragon! * Slipstream waves absently at Thrash. * Sunspot perks up a bit. "Yay, you got your hand back!" yep * Diablo nudges the marble back towards Scrabble gotta reprogram it though >:P heya Thrash, watch where ya step, I just lost a detonator somewhere here.... * Thrashmane lifts up a foot and looks around * Scrabble rolls the marble back to Diabie *carefully steps around Ah, nemind, found it. phew. :) * Thrashmane sits down next to the two girls and takes off his hand * Slipstream continues fiddling around with her high explosives. * Thrashmane pops open a hatch on it and carefully places an AI unit into it * Scarab rolls off Diablo's head and knocks the marble *tinkers with the circutry more* * Sunspot stares at the diagram a bit, then scribbles the word "Moonstone" in the corner. * Scrabble beeps something at Scarab and chases after the marble, then rolls it back * Thrashmane closes the hatch and tosses his hand, dubbed 'His Hand', at Scrabble and Scarab have fun * Scrabble pounces on the hand and proceeds to zap it * Sunspot laughs. * Diablo picks up the hand with his tail and swings it around * Thrashmane glares at Scrabble * a small laser torch pops out of the hand's finger and waves it at Scrabble *Scrabble beeps something insulting at Thrash* Hey, Scrabble, watch your language. *Scrabble beeps something else insulting at Slip.* * Thrashmane beeps somthing at Scrabble *to Slip* kids these days * Slipstream chuckles Yeah, I know. ;) * Slipstream starts picking up her demo sphere parts scattered everywhere and puts them back in subspace * Splitwit, all boozed up and ready for some fun, walks into the OB lounge "Hello!" good timing ;) * Sunspot turns to Thrash and gestures at Lifeblood. *whisper* "What's he doing up here, anyway?

Nice design. Should work pretty well. If y'need any other parts and stuff, just ask me. :) Thanks, Slipstream! * Splitwit pulls a bottlecap, three old rusty bombs, a switchblade, some gum wrapers, a few pieces of lint, a empty can of Safeway Select, a recorder, spare ammo, and a box of fishing tackle out of subspace * Diablo moves Scrabble off his leg and onto his shoulder, then continues on And I think I'm gonna call it Moonstone. That...that was my brother's name. Boy... never know what you're gonna find next! Oh *gets the picture* I'm... sorry * Slipstream blinks You had a brother? * Splitwit tosses the old bombs over to Slip "Go nuts" Yeah. Whole gestalt team, all built together at the same time, so we were... kinda like siblings. Always stuck together, always looked out for each other... ooh, more parts... Thanx Split. :) *sticks them in subspace* Really... nice aah. I can understand that. I had some good friends like that, back in the 'Bots Meltdown and Merimak. Great bots, them. I was the closest to Moonstone. So I thought maybe I'd name the dragon that, in his memory... That's a good idea. :) Sounds sweet * Thrashmane jolts up as his music player starts working again and completly shatters the atmosphere slaggit! * Thrashmane turns it off after a moment * Slipstream jumps in startlement and yelps, then glares at Thrash doc must have fixed that... Obviously... anyway, I'm gonna go recharge a while. See ya all later. :) cya Sayonara, Sliponara. heh Bye! And thanks for all the stuff! no problemo. :) * Slipstream heads to the launch bay, transforms to flight mode, extends her landing gear and settles on the deck, then enters recharge mode. I guess you've already had your trip to the bar for the night, Split. You wanna go anywhere, Thrashy? * Thrashmane mumbles "Not now honey, I got an early day tomorrow..." and falls back to sleep Aww, poor sleepy kitty... * Splitwit is clearly zoned out * Sunspot looks around the room and notices the only other one there is Lifeblood, and she really, really doesn't wanna bug him, so she gets up. Well, I'm quite stoned right now, so I'll be leaving. Toodles * Splitwit leaves * Thrashmane remains sleeping on the floor * Sunspot pats the sleeping kitty one more time and wanders out the door herself. * Bitstream changes topic to '-=2001.021=- RP done'
