[comm to bridge] So, what should I start checking over first? Ship's Weapons or Defenses? [comm] both are in need of repair. Defense should probably be our priority though * Splitwit furiously plays Ms. Pacman in Powerplay's Arcade. [comm] If we get attacked without our shields... [comm] Yeah, things get messy * Slipstream sits on the bridge and does bugger-all. ;) * Sunspot sits in the observation deck playing her game. * Maximum Magnum stands in the far corner from Sunspot in the OB Deck, looking out into space Come on, Scarab. Time to check things out. *Heads of to wherever he has to go to* so how much damage was done to the ship anyway, Wait? more than I care to admit. Overwrite is going nuts over the cost heh, ouch. quite a bit of our armor is scorched, buckled, and broken, and most ships systems took a hit as well ... what bothers me tho, Wait, is that there didn't seem t'be any reason for a 'Con ambush there. * Arashi leaves his quarters and heads towards the plaza * Splitwit cringes as he loses *another* game of Ms. Pacman We have more than a few wanted criminals on board, at least from 'Con perspectives ...eheh... yeah, that we do... *winces slightly* *laughs* how can you manage to keep on losing a simple game like that? hey, it wasn't an accusation Yeah, I know *shrugs* * Splitwit prays for a quick second before slamming his final quarter into the game. Ah quiet, I'm makin ya some money, aint I? Yeah, only a small amount compared to what I already have though *Tears well up as the words 'Game Over' fall onto the screen* N.... no! * Splitwit sighs and makes a tossing-over-shoulder motion in the air "Eh, ain't worth my time anymore. I'm blowin' this joint." * Diablo scans over several components for the shields * Sunspot puts away her game and goes to stare out the window some. * Splitwit casually waves to Powerplay and struts out of the Arcade. We barely scraped by this time, anyway. It may be time to consider a refit. We do actually have some credits stored up for once [comm] Uh, you know how you were talking about no shields... *to Sunspot* Wonderful view... [comm] I really don't like the sound of this Diablo... Yeah... It's really neat being out in space for long periods of time... It's easy to appriciate somthing like this. [comm] You won't. Rear shields won't be too helpful much longer. Plenty of components are going to have to be replaced Well that's just wonderful. damn * Roadkill wanders into ob deck * Splitwit strolls into the bar. I like it out here. [comm] alright Diablo... I'll start working on some interphase adaptions. maybe we can get defense from that I rather enjoy - hello Roadkill - it myself. Its just.... hard to explain [Comm] Ok. Front shields will be fine though. They'll only need a little tweaking to get back to full efficiency * Sunspot waves to Roadkill. Heya Max, Sunny. ...Max? [comm] how's the DEM? we need that for navigation It's peaceful. Even when we've been fighting or there's weird stuff going on, it's essentially peaceful. I've seen a lot of bad things in space. *shrugs* I could call ya Maxy boy if y'really want. *grins* Do and you'll be missing a central processor. Too late. ;) *grins* [comm] Not sure, haven't checked it out yet. I'm thinking I'll get up close to it and give it a look * Lifeblood busies himself in Medbay, lacking anything better to do. * Sunspot sighs. Space hasn't always been kind to me. But it's... lulling. Space isn't kind. it isn't cruel either. It's just there. Like you? me? *snickers* something like that. * Sunspot grins. You do have a point, though. usually do. ;) Its like an individual being... they are simply "there". It's a good thing to lose yourself in. long as y'can find yourself again. or at least have a road map. ;) *whispering* perhaps I still haven't found myself.. I dunno if I want to find myself. I scared myself pretty badly... * Diablo picks up some equipment and heads for the other end of the ship with Scarab following behind * Slipstream releases Scrabble and throws it at Wait to get his attention. And 'cause she's bored. * Waitstate puts the spider on his head, being a bit bored as well Yo, grey one. Y'think we should stop over at a station for repairs sometime? * Maximum-Magnum reaches into subspace and retrieves a small spherical object.... his right optic. * Scrabble beeps happily I was thinking something more drastic. a refit, if you recall ... whoa, trippy. Ah, that's right. Well, refit then. * Maximum-Magnum holds up the eye and points it out to space. bigger guns, better speed and manuverability... * Roadkill blinks and grins. "Y'ever use that thing for looking around corners?" Heh, bigger guns are always good. Its useless as a system function. I keep it around as a momento of sorts. Speed'n'maneouverability are better tho. ;) A reminder. * Diablo reaches the end of a corridor and walks into a door, expecting it to open in front of him Ah. Pity. Y'could have fun with that if it worked. * Maximum-Magnum tosses the optic over his shoulder to Roadkill, "Catch." * Roadkill catches it argh *steps back a little, just missing Scarab* Slagging sealed door * Scarab beeps out hmm, it'd make a good marble... Indeed. * Diablo enters a combination into the doors control panel and hopes it'll open * Roadkill tosses it back to Maxy * Maximum-Magnum catches it and drops it back into subspace Guess not * Slipstream starts digging around in the computer files for nearby space stations capable of refitting the Freedom [comm] Wait, could you open this door for me so I can get to the DEM? * Lifeblood idles. [comm] done * Splitwit walks into the Medbay and waves to Lifeblood "Word?" * Sunspot broods. Ah. Greetings. [comm] Thanks Dude, do you ever have -any- fun? * Scarab beeps over the comm before its shut * Slipstream sends a list of space station coordinates to Wait's computer for him to look at. hooray for boredom. * Diablo keeps moving forwards I ain't seen ya in the bar or anywhere in aaaaaaaages! Space stations, eh? you sure we want to try that again so soon? Fun? *shrugs* Why not? We've gotta go back eventually, might as well be now. Damn this is huge just make sure the doors stay locked and everyone inside. hehe. Well, yeah. I understand yer a doc' and all so ya got all them big responsiblities and junk, but it doesn't seem like anyone's hurt or any junk like that * Scarab scuttles around the place No. But I have nothing else to do. So I am doing my work. * Roadkill sits down on a couch and lounges. doing... work? *mind boggles* * Diablo starts checking over the DEM Whatsay you and I head down to the bar or whatever? I'll even buy you a drink! * Scamp enteres the plaza To what end? To what end what? To what end will we go to the bar? Heh, Wait will just love this... Oh, um, I dunno? * Scarab beeps hyperactively Have a little bit of energon? Heck, I dunno.... [Comm] Hey Wait, got more news for you * Roadkill watches Sunny brood. or whatever. heh. * Waitstate sets the spiderbot down I think I'm gonna head down to the bar. You guys wanna join me? [comm] what now? Very well. Let us go to the bar. * Scrabble climbs up Wait's arm Let us go to the bar, then! There is no processing to be done here that cannot wait. Why not? Yeah, sure, what you said. * Lifeblood stands. * Splitwit leads Lifeblood to the bar [comm] Well, the good news is the DEM is running fine and handling everything alright. The bad news is that there seems to be more than a few of those friendly little stress fractures along the outer structure there was good news? *pretends to faint* * Sunspot wanders down to the bar. [comm] I was afraid of that. Make the SIF (structural integrity field) your priority after shields then * Scamp stops Sunspot on her way [comm] Will do * Maximum-Magnum heads to the boozepit as well. Well hello there, I don't get to see much of you around * Scarab beeps in reply too [comm] I don't want to risk travel with a unreinforced hull Oh. Hiya! * Maximum-Magnum walks past Scamp and Sunspot What's a thing like you going to the bar for? * Roadkill wanders down to the bar so he can annoy Maxy more. ;) * Splitwit arrives at the bar with LV and points to a chair There's nothing but boorish bruts in there * Sunspot shrugs. * Lifeblood sits. Now, when you're going to have a drink at the bar, you have to sit in a chair. And refer to Download as 'barkeep'. Some of them are nice boorish brutes... * Diablo gets back to work Don't pay Scamp much mind the barkeep rule is imperative that you follow [comm] Yeah, that could be a little nasty I see. * Waitstate looks at a sensor report from Diablo damn, we're going to have to replace most of the fore hull ouch. that's gonna cost us some. * Splitwit sits down next to LV and waves to Download Hey, Barkeep! *winks at LV* Lets have the cheapest thing ya got! * Roadkill wanders into the bar and sneaks up behind Split. ;) Sunspot right? You know, there's a lovely cafe- As I said, Scamp's just been a little lonely. Phoenyx hasn't been on mission much lately * Sunspot grins. * Sunspot giggles. You're free to come with us, y'know. * Maximum-Magnum sits in his usual table, away from the rest of the patrons. * Download pours a glass of water and hands it to Splitwit hot damn! Very well, though I fear for poor Terra's lagging business * Drill Master follows * Roadkill sneaks up behind Split and scares the bejeebers outta him. * Arashi stops wandering around the plaza and walks into the bar * Splitwit gets the bejeebers scared out of him and splashes the water on RK * Roadkill gets wet. ...heh. * Sunspot stands in the doorway and looks around. You're not afraid now are you? Enough with the water fight, I don't think this place is a water park *grabs a seat* If you are you may find comfort with me ;) * Sunspot giggles some more. C'mon, let's go find a table. * Roadkill waves at Sunny and co as they come in. camp nudges Drill Master * Thrashmane taps Scamp on the shoulder, from behind him. Ahem* You must have a little more faith in me Why Hello there Thrashmane, may I be of some assistance? Though I ask you make it brief, I'm with company So I see. Hi, Thrashy! * Thrashmane holds up his missile arm, except this time it has a scary looking mounted gun on it. "Meet my friend, Launch." *the gun quacks* Ducky! Hmm, how quaint * Maximum-Magnum watches with intrest Now if you'll excuse us [comm] I've done all that I can with the shields. Getting onto the SIF now Oooh, see Lifeblood, I told ya this'd be worth the trip! Sunspot dear, would you care for a seat? Indeed? * Sunspot laughs. [comm] good. recruit anyone you need * Launch transforms and hovers in front of Scamp's face, quacking furiously I think Thrashy wants to sit with us, too! I say I think the kitty's getting jealous... hehe. ;) You'd do best to remove this annoyance at once * Scamp brandishes a pistol Or I'll remove it myself * Thrashmane grabs Launch out of the air and tosses him over his shoulder "Of course I would!" Yeah yeah he's gone, sit! * Thrashmane sits * Scamp pulls out a seat for Sunspt * Admiral-Lilwall enters the bridge * Sunspot sits next to Thrash. Hey Wait. * Scamp squints What? You're not going to pull out a seat for me? ;) Hey Lil. * Admiral-Lilwall passes Wait a data pad *hrmph* * Scamp sits down * Thrashmane puts his arm around Sunspot and kicks a seat out from under the table for Drill Master report of the recent party * Thrashmane grins slyly at Scamp. Thank you, much appreciated * Sunspot giggles some more. * Roadkill reckons Sunny's a very giggly person Heh, party's the word for it. So Sunspot, I trust LONAC finds you well oh boy. Diablo's been doing a damage asessment. I hope this doesn't give me worse news... Heh, doubt it. the news prob'ly couldn't get much worse anyway. The entire fore hull is scrap metal, or might as well be Yeah, I've made a lot of friends here. It's... starting to feel a bit like home. I had a breif talk with Scope shortly afterwards yeah? Had him see if he could find any reason for such a large Decep presence Mm, I'd like t'know what the reason was as well... did he find anything? * Arashi slips out of the bar unnoticed Apparently he has a few 'contacts' so to speak, within the Deceps * Splitwit notices Arashi leaving the bar. Turns out a there's a rather large Autobot colony a few systems away So, Scamp, what have you been up to? They were mounting for an assault, we took the bait by mistake If you ever need help, you can always ask me I haven't been too busy The colony caught wind of it, they're being evacuated That's very sweet of you, Scamp. So it's in our best interest to get some distance between us and them... damn. I don't know how much stress the ship can handle at this point * Scamp grins through his faceplate (from helm) Our current position should keep us away from any conflict * Thrashmane picks up Launch and sets him in the middle of the table How did a petite thing such as yourself make her way to LONAC if I may ask? So, anyone wanna see somthing cool? unless the 'Cons decide to go hunting. Once engines are back to full, I've got an escape path already set if they do, we're slag it isn't the engines I'm worried about Hello, ducky! * Launch Quacks * Sunspot gets distracted by the shiny object. Hey Splitwit, get over here! Er, okay... Quacks, a fitting pet * Splitwit nervously stands up and walks over to the table * Roadkill watches from the bar * Chameleon wanders the ship in cham mode holding a spiderbot and waving it about, giving the illusion that its floating about Launch, transform! ?! Well, a bad hull is one thing, but without the engines we have no chance of getting away if they do come looking heh, true. let's just hope they -don't- come looking, aye? * Launch leaps into the air and flips over into his gun mode and lands on Splitwit's arm, magneticly locking onto his arm Panelbeater estimates a few more hours with the engines though I'm afraid. and if the the nose of the ship shears away, how is that going to help? And as I understand it, most, if not all the crew have been repaired ...? I'd rather let the nose fall off than sit here waiting for it to be blown off I modified him to be a weapon for, well, everyone. He just locks onto their arm as a blaster. Simple as that! Um... get it offa me! intriguing Aw, don't you like the ducky? * Splitwit shakes his arm until Launch detaches and retransforms, landing on the table. Not when it's a gun, no :P You know, our Dark Star was developing a weapon that works on a similar principle Well, I made it first, so hah *winks* [comm] So how much power do you want going to the SIF? It's quite remarkable [comm] well, we need it now more than usual, so as much as we can get * Sunspot pats the ducky's head. [comm] Alright. Don't think anyone will mind if the Sim Rooms are offline for a while * Lifeblood idles. In the bar. * Deadlift, Backtrack, Takedown, Overdose, Ignition and Battalion sit in Deadlift's quarters playing cards [comm] your crew tend to use 'em the most, so I guess that's your call, heh. Kill power though [comm] Already done It'd probably be advisable to shut down the uninhabitted decks as well. which is most of them, heh [comm] I could do that too Will all that be enough t'let us get the Freedom to a station or something? * Sunspot notices Lifeblood in the bar. Hello there Lifeblood Why don't you come and sit a spell? * Sunspot nudges Thrash. "We should buy the Doc a drink!" Sounds good t'me! Aries, can you locate a station near by? Gimmie a minute I've already given Wait a list of nearby stations, ask him. I am sitting. Sit over here! Don't you wanna hang with the cool kids? ;) The friendlier the better But I am already sitting. Yes, but don't you wanna sit over here? * Restore enters the bridge Oh for Primus' sake! It's fun over here! And there's a ducky! * Splitwit stands up and drags LB over to the table with Drill Master, Sunspot, Thrashmane, Launch, and Scamp. Waitstate, here's the report on the crew's status you asked for *passes a data pad* * Splitwit plants LB down in a chair and sits next to him hm... looks like this was the one area that we lucked out on. No major casualties, and no deaths [comm] Power is now down in those unused decks. Not all power from them is going to the SIF though, don't want to risk blowing it For a change lucky us. Crevas was worst hit, but he's at peak performance now. Well now, it's a party Anything else? Dance for us, Ducky! [comm] right. get to work on the aft shields then. that will help reinforce the SIF in itself This is what you consider "fun", then, hmm? Yep! [comm] I would, but theres not much use in trying to get those shields any better than they are now * lights go out on the bridge ... hmm, dark. hey... [comm] we can't even repair them? [comm] Engineering...? [comm] sorry, power surge. just a second.... slag, now what? * lights return *blinks* much better. better [comm] We could try, but they'd more than likely just drop moments after they're up * Sunspot notices the lights surging a little. I'm just glad we don't have many organics on board these days. Not so much life support to worry about Hmm... Heh, Cyrstalline doesn't take up that much power in that respect I think her armor has it's own power source anyway. it can keep her going on its own for a week So what do you want to drink, Doc? I'll buy! * Lifeblood levels his gaze at Sunspot over his faceplate. * Diablo puts all the equipment back and heads up to the observation deck Aww, don't you want something? C'mon Doc, how about it? * Chameleon wanders into the bar unseen, with a spiderbot floating about Y'know, none of us have ordered yet. Are we gonna get drinks or what? * Roadkill watches the flying spiderbot Where's Waitstate? Isn't he supposed to wait tables? hey... hm? Perhaps we shouldn't spend so much time with Ruse I just lost all sensors He's got better things to do now. He's probably really busy with the ship... ... that can't be good. [comm] Bridge to Panelbeater, report Another power surge, commander. All sensors on board will be offline for a while, I'm working on it but it'll take at least an hour. okay, that's definitely not good * Chameleon goes to where he and Diab usually sit and drops the spiderbot on the table Anyone else notice the lights keep going all funny? Great, now we have no idea what's out there. I suggest we send out patrols Slip, see if you can get a crew to fly recon outside I'm on it. I'll go with you. My jets could use the excercise okie then. How 'bout Ignition and Lightning? Sounds like fun, I'll be in medbay * Restore leaves the bridge for Medbay Well, service here appears to be a bit lax * Scamp stands up I ordered a waffle three hours ago. Where's my damned waffle?! I'll return shortly * Drill Master stands up * Thrashmane waves b'bye We've enjoyed the company : ) Bye, Scamp! Bye, DM! Hmm, if you insist Oh, I do. * Scamp and Drill Master exit the bar with Drill Master waving and Scamp pushing on *winks* well, now that hes gone.. I'd rather more attentive bots at the moment *looks at Sunspot*... I shall retuturn to being my placid self * Thrashmane gulps We'll take Phoenyx as well. [comm] Ignition, Lightning, Phoenyx, please report to the flight deck. How 'bout Arashi or Cham? On my way Arashi and Starstorm can come along as well. * Ignition sets down his cards. "Duty calls!" * Admiral-Lilwall pages the two Tactibots * Ignition exits the room and heads for the flight deck * Lightning and Phoenyx move to, and soon arrive at the flight deck * Ignition arrives shortly there after * Arashi and Star reply and get going * Slipstream arrives at flight deck What's up? * Admiral-Lilwall arrives at the flight deck as well Aw, I coulda taken care of him, Thrashy. Ship's sensors are out for a while, we're flying patrol Patrol? Weeeeee. Ok bots, we've lost sensors, so we won't know if anything's heading for us. We're on patrol * Arashi and Starstorm arrive Well yeh, but um, he's uh.... * Thrashmane mumbles somthing Thrashy's jealous, Sunny. ;) * Sunspot giggles. * Slipstream tfs and waits for the launch doors to open. Oh listen to your music We're alert for anything Decepticon, mainly. But anything that appears hostile is what we're keeping an eye out for I'm sure he just didn't want me being bothered... Better than sitting round here doing nothing I guess * Admiral-Lilwall keys the bay doors open *quickly* Yeah! * Roadkill grins and sticks his headphones back on sure, whatever. hehehe Pair off, Lightning, with me. definitely better than sitting around doing nothing. * Admiral-Lilwall and Lightning transform and take off. Phoenyx pairs(trios, whatever) off with Slip and Ignition * Arashi and Starstorm transform and fly out * Slipstream flies out with Ignition and Phoenyx * Sunspot grins. So! Doc needs a drink! Riiiiiiiight... * Splitwit glares at Lifeblood * Slipstream flies patrol with Ignition and Phoenyx. Whee. * Ignition flies Now, I dragged your shiny metal butt down here over a mega-cyle ago... And we STILL haven't gotten you drunk off it. * Ignition does some barrel rolls I apologize. * Chameleon picks up the spiderbot and moves over to the others and takes a seat, disabling cham mode * Pheonyx bumps into Slip while staring at a distant nebula instead of paying attention where she's flying before returning to a more focused position Boo * Slipstream zooms around. zoom. um, eek? whoops, careful there Phoenyx. Nope *throws the spiderbot at RK* *catches it* Is this where I go eek? No? Hiya, Cham! * Pheonyx squawks or is this where Split goes eek? *drops spiderbot on Split's head* ;) EEK!!! Roadkill> *snickers* * Ignition kicks his jets into full burn Hehe, that's more like it * Splitwit screams and starts banging his spiderbotted head against the wall * Slipstream zooms around more and chases after Ignition getitoff getitoff getitoff! * Ignition rockets off Hey, leave it alone Split * Slipstream starts catching up with Ignition * Pheonyx, not paying attention again, soon finds herself alone Don't smoosh it! *to Igni* Race ya, kiddo! Heh! Enjoy losin, do ya!? * Ignition kicks in his jets again and zooms off Been a good many thousand years since I last flew patrol around a ship * Slipstream accelerates and starts to catch up with Igni again Hardly! I think you're the one who's gonna lose! So whaddya want to drink? anything but water. ;) * Ignition activates his holograms and splits into three images, each heading in a different direction Eh, I'm kinda impartial to whatever I *meant* the Doc, silly boys. ... sneaky. Shhhh! He's our guest of honor tonight! Guest of Bore! I was not planning on drinking. ... ! Aw. * Slipstream quickly activates targeting systems and uses them to pick out the real Ignition, and chases after him again How long are we expecting to be out here anyway? * Ignition deactivates his clones No idea you're gonna hafta do better than that, kiddo. ;) * Phoenyx squawks questioningly, not detecting any of her compainions anywhere near by * Ignition flies past Pheonyx * Slipstream flies by Phoenyx's other side * Phoenyx is sent into a breif spin * Ignition flies a loop * Sunspot plays with the spiderbot Cham brought. * Slipstream catches up with Ignition and starts tailing him * Pheonyx rights herself only to find the others are long gone again c'mon, this the best y'got? * Ignition disappears in front of Slip suddenly * Ignition swoops down from above and flies above her Nah, I got more:) oh good, I thought this was gonna get boring. * Mysterious_Jet drops down out of nowhere and flies next to Ignition, easily keeping the pace Hey, you deus racing? ... company. yeah, kinda. ... * Ignition hits his airbrakes * Ignition transforms Yo Admiral, we got us some company over here. * Mysterious_Jet flies around and circles Ignition * Slipstream locks her wings in battle mode * A 2nd jet glides up to the 1st* Oh, leave them alone, M-3. [comm] Acknowledged Ignition. Can you identify its intent? Hey, you don't tell me what to do, got it? I'm the one in charge here! [com] Well, they haven't started shooting yet. that's a good thing, aye? It appears to be peaceful. So far. Can I blow them up? * Mysterious_Jet transforms to robot mode and faces the 2nd jet * Sunspot plays with the ducky some more. * Mysterious_Jet2 transforms also * Slipstream watches the two newcomes with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion Look, I'm just trying to have a little fun here, okay? We're just stuck out here, and you can't just drop outta nowhere and tell me what to do! can we get a camera feed? [comm] do NOT engage in combat unless there's no choice. we're trying to avoid hostiles. You two ARE aware you are right here, right? In front of our ship? * Mysterious_Jet2 rolls his optics. * Slipstream sends Wait a camera feed. Look! It's Megatron! The only reason you're in command is because you cheated in the final sim' run! * Ignition points at nothing, past the two unknowns * Mysterious_Jet is taken aback "I so did NOT!" * Diablo falls into recharge cycle while sitting in the observation deck you'd swear they were human siblings... Heh * Ignition steps in between the two bots * Mysterious_Jet glares at the other bot * Ignition just looks at #2 Who are you? * Slipstream continues to cruise around the two bots and Ignition * Mysterious_Jet2 finally notices the other two bots around him and tenses up observant, ain't he. Oh, ahem. My apologies, but my simpleminded captian here *motions to #1* and I were in the middle of an argument. * Mysterious_Jet2 bows. In space. Amazing. * Ignition considers kneeing the dude in the head, but remembers what Lil said Heh, we kinda noticed that. I'm truly sorry about M-6 and M-3, please ignore them Soooo... * Sunspot orders a drink for herself, at least. * Mysterious_Jet3 shows up behind Slipstream. ... * Ignition now realizes it is 2-3 * Slipstream spins around in startlement and targets #3 Oh, thank you, Mr. Russian! What? Russian? Since when was I russian? Hmm, since you got the Russian alt' mode? * Ignition flies up next to Slip "Ever see the Three Stooges? ... no, but I get a pretty good idea of what they might be... I swear, M-3, if we weren't in the middle of nowhere I'd pound you into the ground for that! Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try! You are all acting like a bunch of immature kids....I should know. * Slipstream snickers * Arashi and Star detect the 3 bots Like you don't act the same way, Ignition? ;) [Comm] You guys want some help there? * Mysterious_Jet squares off with #3 * Ignition turns to Slip with a serious expression "It's my job, babe." [com] I think we've got things covered, Arashi. Thanks anyway. C'mon, I'd like to see you try it! * Mysterious_Jet notices Slipstream * Mysterious_Jet straightens up quickly and clears his throat *to #3* Here he goes again... * Mysterious_Jet glides over to Ignition "Gwah beeb whatever the heck it is, you know the drill." * Slipstream circles the group again, wings still locked in battle mode Excuse me, you can shut down your weapon systems. We're not here to harm you. * Ignition looks at #1 "Yeah." * Sunspot curls up against Thrashy and snores. * Ignition comms Waitstate [comm] Wait here heh, call me paranoid, but I'll keep my weapons online for now, thanks. * Mysterious_Jet clears his throat "I am Mach-3, supreme captain of the Skyforce recon' and tactical assult specailists air forces." We have three unknowns out here. Can we bring them onboard? I want to get away from them. They annoy me. * Mysterious_Jet goes over that in his head again to make sure he got it right heh [comm] I've been watching. My sympathies... .... my captain is an idiot. I kinda noticed that. ;) I hear you. You all seem a few bolts short of a console But that's just my opinion. look who's talking... ;) We've came from the Autobot station over yonder. Heard you chaps got hit hard by the Decepticons, but you did save the stations * Ignition glares quickly at Slip Slipstream ignores Igni. ;) * Powerplay grabs his Railgun and makes sure it's working alright Even though M-2 acts as if we're Autobots, we're far from that. Oh? Decepticons then? Deceptibums? guess not, heh. * Ignition whispers to Slip. "The names make them sound like they are drones" * Slipstream snickers. "hell yeah. sound it too" * Ignition transforms to jet mode * Starstorm flies round in circles, bored * Ignition calls Pheonyx to him * Sunspot considers continuing to coerce Lifeblood into having a drink. [com] So, Wait, do we take 'em aboard and shoot 'em, or just shoot 'em out here? ;) * Trihorn wakes up in a lift and exits, finding himself on the top deck [comm] They seem pretty harmless... * Trihorn walks up to the door, roars, then headbutts the door and sits * Waitstate jumps at the sound * Twitch drops down from a vent and lands on Trihorn's back * Trihorn roars again and runs in circles * Twitch holds on tight * Trihorn hits the door again and falls over * Twitch hops off and wanders off down the corridor We're not exacly Decepticons, nor are we Autobots. * Slipstream continues to circle the three newcomers Freedom fighters, you could say. I suppose heh, guess that works * Ignition opens his cockpit and Pheonyx transforms and lands inside on the seat I feel useless. You are. Shut up. You shut up. No you shut up! BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!!!!! Both of ya shut up! Thank you. So what are you guys anyway? Renegades or somthing? Nah, just a neutral group of sorts. * M-3 glares at M-2 "Putz." We guys with face like this. ::Points to Lonac emblem:: hehe, that Grimlock always did crack me up. * Slipstream snickers at Ignition Heh? nothin'. hah * M-3 looks at Slipstream "Why, is that a feminine snicker I detect there?" * M-6 smacks himself in the head ... Ignition, d'ya wanna shoot him, or shall I? [comm] Can we come back yet? It's worse out here than in there Tomcat, you can shut up now. You do know that. No, you can shut up! Ok. I'm breaking them. Why don't you... we are NOT starting that again! * Ignition transforms back to bot mode Next one you to argue is going to gain some pain. Got it!? *to Slipstream* Excuse me, is the captain of your vessel reachable at this time? Waitstate, I'm bringing these clowns onboard. Yeah, why? [comm] alright. Your responsibility then. Clowns? Why you little... * Slipstream targets M3 "Pipe down." ...I hate you. * Arashi and Star fly back anyway Well, in my captain's futile attempts, we've flown all the way out here and, unfortunatly, run out of energon. * Waitstate laughs Well, I'm leaving them here. You can play with them if you want, Slip. I'm getting a headache. Hey, it was Mig's fault we left with a tank only half full. Dontcha mean half empty? *grins* *to Igni* ... gee, thanks. remind me to do -you- a favour sometime... * Ignition takes to jet form and heads for the flight deck anyway. Shut up. * Slipstream turns back to the three. * M-6 sighs y'can come aboard and recharge, just behave yourselves. c'mon. * Ignition lands in the bay Thank you, very much. * Slipstream plots something nasty to do to Ignition sometime. * M-3 and Co. transform to jet mode and head for the Freedom. * Slipstream leads the three to the docking bay. * M-3 flies up next to Slipstream "So what do ya guys do around here for fun?" Shoot guys who annoy us, mainly. * Ignition heads off to return to his game * Diablo wakes up and converts to dragon mode * M-6 flies close enough to M-3 to smack him with his wing "Lay off." * M-3 touches down along with the rest and transforms * M-2 looks around the slightly busted up landing bay "Wow, talk about your fixer-upper." eh. it happens. * Deadlift looks up from his work to see the newbies Hah! Fixer Upper, sounds like a boxing term. Hehe. I'm fixing. Give me a break. * Slipstream spots Deadlift. Deadlift! Take care of these guys, will ya? I've got patrol to fly still. * Slipstream escapes. Well now, take a look at tall dark and forklift-y * Deadlift looks up and sees big red hehe Would you mind your manners, Tomcat? PLEASE, for once? * M-3 considers Ok, who are you, and why are you on this ship? * Takedown stands over the three bots * Takedown crosses his arms Not unless its to win over the sweet sweet lips of a lovely female, no * Slipstream has escaped and is flying patrol * Diablo leaves the observation deck and looks for somewhere more lively You're pathetic, M-3. Tell that to the girls who date me, Mig. Hey Red Guy, ya think we could talk to the captain of this here wessle? * Sunspot snores in the bar. ;) * M-2 mumbles "russian" Yeah, Waitswate is awound here somwhere. * Takedown mildly mocks him * M-3 wildly wocks him. * Roadkill wanders over to Sunspot and drops a coaster down her neck. * Thrashmane kicks RK in the shin Waitstate, I have three chumps on the Flight Deck who want words with you. Chumps? I'll... ... ouch? Not now, M-3 If it suits you, yes. [comm] alright... conference room 3 then * Takedown stoops down and puts his face in M-3's. You'll what? Three for conference room three! mmm.... nah. hehe. Conference room 3 it is. Follow me. I'll um... stich you a sweater? How kind. * Takedown transforms to bull mode. Heh heh heh ^_^; Follow me. * Takedown runs out of the room and heads for the conference room * M-3 and co follows Takedowntimus Prime. Ox and Cart! Hey! * M-3 and co run 'scuse me folks * Waitstate exits * Slipstream patrols, whee. come on Trihorn, let's go... * Takedown gets them to the room. * M-3 and co' wait in the room for Wait. * Trihorn roars then follows In here. Thank you very much. What the dumbass said What the 2nd dumbass said Have a seat. The doctor will be with you shortly. * Takedown snorts. *dryly* I thought it was funny. * Waitstate arrives with a small triceratops at his heels hello gentlemen Hello, are you the captain of this ship? Hello, are you the captain of this ship? * Takedown stands just inside the door in case Waitstate needs him * Trihorn circles the table then sits Captain of ship thingy you be? yes, I am actually *eyes widen* THANK YOU! * M-3 leaps forwards and hugs Waitstate * M-6 blinks. * Takedown moves forward and pulls M-3 away No touching. It's disturbing. uhm... * Waitstate sits down. on the opposite side of the room Pardon my intellecually inferior commander. He is simply attempting to show his affection for you and your crew giving us the chance to leave that station. *mocking* Blah blah blah... You see, we had been couped up in there for -ages-. We, being recon soldiers, need to get out every so often. I see * Trihorn moves over near where Wait is And the captain wanted to, how to say, make a fool out of himself. Did not! * M-6 is silent * Slipstream gets tired of patrol, lands in a corner of the docking bay and goes into recharge mode. * Roadkill wanders out of the bar, leaving Sunny and Thrash to make out. ;) * Deadlift sees her land and go into recharge ...this is a motel now? * Deadlift shakes his head and gets back to work And, as it happened, our escapade out to this region left us quite low on fuel. Not my fault! So I heard. You are rather far from home And we're not exactly interested in being posted back -there- again. Hold up a tic, guys. I got an idea. * M-3 and Co huddles *whispering* After careful consideration, we have decided that, instead of leaving once we're refueled...
