So, Waitstate, how goes the ship? last I checked most of the fore hull was in pieces. Still? Taking their time for such a large work crew mmm, chunky piecy bits. the new drive systems were delayed. they can't continue til they're finished * Splitwit kicks a ball around * Shadowpaw wanders around on the planet, looking in various stores hooray for delays, heh It's a shame we're so far out from Cybertron, we'd be nearly done by now probably so. Cybertron has more advanced facilities if nothing else heh, I'd still rather be here than Cybertron. Heh, and bigger work crews, and not just in numbers ;) * Sunspot pokes idly at her video game in the docking bay. well, we'll end up with faster computer systems anyway. small hands make more delicate connections :) * Splitwit headbutts the ball into a wall several times true, heh. * Roadkill wanders in and spots Split "Heya Splitty dude." of course, I keep having to remind them to make the crawlspaces big enough... how big is big enough tho? * Lifeblood reattaches some clumsy worker's arm in the station's medical facilities. Because medical facilities everywhere need every pair of hands they can get. big enough for Lil to crawl through, at least * Splitwit stops for a second to wave to Roadkill and gets hit in the side of the face by the ball. * Roadkill chuckles and picks up the ball No easy task with these wings Erm, hey Killer. How'ya doin? ... hehe, the image of Lil crawling through there... * Shadowpaw sits down in a bar and gets a drink, looking out into the street and watching the 'bots stroll by. * Waitstate chuckles Not too bad at all. Bored as hell though. You? * Sunspot looks up and gives Roadkill a little wave as she notices his arrival. Oh, heya Sunny :) * Diablo watches the streets from atop a building in dragon mode Inclined to agree. * Splitwit picks up the ball and kicks it over to RK * Roadkill kicks it back to Split * Splitwit kicks the ball straight up and spikes it to RK * Shadowpaw finishs her drink. leaves the money and a tip, and continues window shopping * Roadkill slams the ball back towards Split Well, while we're on downside topics... hm? * Splitwit catches the ball and lightly lobbs it to RK \:) yes? I heard the work crew accidently knocked down a wall or two in the theatre * Roadkill catches it, looks at it, looks at Sunny, grins, and lightly lobs it towards her. "Hey Sunny, heads up!" ouch heh, fun. How the heck did they manage that? the beauty of having a work crew around though is that they can fix it, heh * Splitwit cracks his knuckls and watches they thought they were in the engine room *shrug* subsequently, they're not part of the work crew anymore. thankfully * Shadowpaw stops and looks in the window of a particularly interesting store, before noticing it's on the corner to a quieter street Hmm... I wonder what's down there... * Sunspot gets bonked in the head. * Roadkill chuckles "Whoops, sorry Sunny." * Sunspot grabs the ball and tosses it back. * Thrashmane walks down a hallway, talking to Launch * Splitwit smacks the ball over to RK how could they mistake it? the theater has actually been USED... heh * Shadowpaw turns into the quieter street * Roadkill kicks it up towards the ceiling *desperate cries for mercy, for help, filter out from a small alley off this street* not to mention it's 8 or so decks above the engine room. you miss my point, heh actually, I didn't, it just wasn't amusing What the.... watch where you're going buddy *watches as what people are in the street glance around uneasily and quickly make an exit* and having said that, time to go! * Admiral-Lilwall transforms see ya later tonight * Admiral-Lilwall flies off *the same voice cries out again, "Please, not that... I've had that for *hundreds* of years... no... no!"* you know, I've become unused to areas that allow open and unrestricted transforming and flight... not that that's a bad thing, y'know... hehehe heh, no it isn't. but it does tend to startle a person you, perhaps. hehehe. ;) *a knock is heard and a new voice, this one rougher, replies "shut up or we'll make sure you're offline permanently."* * Sunspot looks up. "You guys wanna go do something?" I'm a fan of somthing. * Hitchhike arrives by SP's side in car form Hey Shadow, hows the shopping district? Something sounds good. Y'all wanna go out and check out the commercial district? *jumps slightly* Oh, hey Hitch... the shopping is... it's pretty good. Can you HEAR that? Sure, that sounds fun. Sure, why not. * Sunspot puts her game away. * Splitwit kicks the ball into the nearby shuttle and TFs to car mode * Hitchhike listens *the first voice says shakily, "you won't get away with this..." before is cut off by a loud 'thump'* * Hitchhike switches off her radio and listens again * Roadkill tfs to truck mode and idles his engine Heard that one... Lets hit it! *revs engine* * Hitchhike transorms and takes out her weapon Sounds like someone could use some help * Sunspot TFs to hovercar mode. "Okay, let's go!" * Shadowpaw also gets out her weapon Lead the way *suddenly two VERY big, VERY tough looking 'bots come out of the small alley. They stop upon spotting Hitch and SP* *mumbles to Hitch* uh... oh.... * Twilight wanders around the planet's docking areas and spots the Freedom being worked on. * Splitwit drives off, with Killer and Sunny behind him * Sunspot arrives in a place with stores, transforms, and looks around for shops with shiny things. Deja vu.... They don't look too tough, let's go chat * Diablo picks up a piece of junk next to him and throws it down What're you two ladies lookin' at? * Diablo flies away Mind if I ask what you were doing in there? *grunt* That's none of your damn business. You had better leave before somebody gets hurt. *to himself* Hmmm... it's here... doesn't seem like any of the crew is on board though... So what were you doing in there? * Shadowpaw notices the second thug holding a container of cash, jingling it with a grin on his face. * Thrashmane enters a shop in the commercial district and, while looking around, bumps right into Sunspot... Eek! * Sunspot falls down. Erm... I think that YOU are the ones who should be moving along. Unless you'd care to share what exactly you were doing in there. Eeh, hiya Sunny! ^_^; *comes around a corner carrying a micro welder and sees Twilight* hey, who are you? you aren't part of this shift * Sunspot looks up. "Oh, hi!" * Thrashmane helps Sunny up *the two thugs both get out their weapons* Thanks. Guess I should pay more attention to where I'm going... *jumps slightly* Sorry, was looking for whoever's the Freedom's captain... It's a simple enough question, catbot got your vocal processors? Do you know where the crew are staying? Get.... out. No no no, totally my fault, I'm sorry * Launch quacks and jumps out from behind Thrash None of those neutrals are up here. They got rooms planetside or something. You stay here, I'm gonna get security * Sunspot giggles. "Hi, ducky!" * Launch happily quacks and jumps onto Sun's shoulder Can't do that I'm afraid. You see, sounded like you were hurting someone, and we don't like that. * Sunspot pats the little ducky. Don't worry, I'm leaving. *quickly exits* hey, get back here! You had better leave before security arrives... I let them know of some suspicious activity. * Twilight ignores the engineer * Maximum-Magnum wakes up from reacharge in one of the shuttles and nervously looks around "Not again..." *looking at his partner* We're leavin'. You check out the alley, I'll follow our friends and make sure they actually clear off You wanna come shopping with us, Thrash? * Diablo lands on another building and looks around *nods* will do. * Hitchhike transforms and follows the thugs Love to. * Shadowpaw quickly enters the alley, hoping that someone didn't really tip off security * Twilight wanders around planetside * Sunspot turns to the others. "So where're we off to?" * Splitwit draws a blank *The alley contains some junk people discarded, but other than that it's empty... except for the small 'bot in the corner.* * Shadowpaw approaches the figure and kneels next to them * Maximum-Magnum grumbles and leaves the shuttle behind, heading for parts unknown Well, let's walk around and see what's here. Maybe there'll be a store with more games... Works for me! *The 'bot is offline and looks really badly damaged. One arm is twisted horribly and one of the wings on his back is dented and bent out of shape. More damage is on his torso, legs, and face.* * Sunspot wanders off down the street. *wincing* Fuse... why'd ya do it? * Line-In stands around in a music store looking for something, with Direclaw at his side Slag... the poor guy... he really copped it from those thugs. * Twilight looks for an information terminal somewhere planetside * Hitchhike returns to the alley in car form still So what've you been up to since we got here, Thrash? Shadowpaw to Restore. They took off in a big hurry [comm] Go ahead Shadowpaw Oh, nothing really. Got an armor upgrade for Launch, so he's at full operation efficiency now. * Slipstream and Wait are somewhere watching an aerial race * Sunspot pats the ducky again. I heard you were in a fight. You okay? Hitchhike and I stumbled across a few thugs. The guy they robbed is here, he's unconscious and beat up real bad. Argh! It's gotta be here still. It was here earlier * Sunspot sighs. "Yeah, I'm alright. I hope Magnum's okay, though." *watches one of the fliers take a corner too wide and get overtaken by another flier* Heh, bad move that... I'm at the main medical facility, bring him in and I'll take a look Magnum? Yeah, that guy'll be fine. * Direclaw growls and starts trying to push Line-In away he's just lucky he didn't scrape the wall... Gotcha. We'll be there soon. *snorts* He wasn't anywhere -near- the wall! Load him on * Slipstream watches the race intently *To Waitstate* She's correct, you know. * Shadowpaw half carries, half drags the victim over to Hitch maybe so, but something about close quarters and high velocities just makes me shudder * Sunspot sees a promising store and ducks inside. Hrm. * Shadowpaw accidently bumps the bot's head when loading him onto Hitch, and the jolt brings him back online. Where.... where am I? Heh, it's all in the training, I guess. Used to race on courses like these... *to Slip* Oh really? Alright, alright. We can get going now if you're gonna get like that Uuuh... Hitch, he's online. No time to explain, buddy, we're gonna get you some help. *finishs loading him onto Hitch* Let's go *nods* Mmhmm. Long time ago though.... Where did you used to race at? *transforms to panther mode* Ready :) * Hitchhike drives off with some sense of haste, but with care as well Various places around. Never here though. * Shadowpaw follows Hitch * Other Bot nods *mutters* Kinda miss racing... Once, I saw a five-ship wreck in the middle of the race. Heh, those are always fun. 'Specially if you're behind 'em and hafta find a way around at mach 5... Piloted or cybertronians? o_o *chuckles* I've never taken part of these myself, I'm a fan of watching though. * Line-In and Direclaw leave and wander around Piloted * Hitchhike arrives at a med facility with SP * Sunspot finally comes out of the store with a bagful of new games. Though, if I remember correctly one of them was bonded to his jet.. Watching's nice enough, I guess, but there's nothing like actually being in the thick of it... Bonded? * Twilight finds an information booth and looks up contact details for LONAC *gets the bot out* Can you walk? That's different then... cockpits have safety features! Hmm... Heh, safety features don't mean all that much at these kinda speeds, Wait. * Hitchhike transforms Yes, Binary bonded. *the bot tries, and quickly hangs onto SP* So what're we gonna do now? * Hitchhike assists Again, she is correct. Plowing into a wall at Mach 4 does wonders for one's back, though. *chuckles* Guess not... *sounds kind of scared* *chuckles* If y'like your back on the wrong side of your face, heh. * Restore appears and helps also * Scamp arrives at the race area and waves to the others in the audience I still say it's safer to risk a ship than it is to risk your actual body I got some goodies! * Scamp holds out some goodies hi Scamp, thanks Heya Scamp. :) *gets the bot inside the med facility with Hitch and Restore's help* these two are insane, heh * Other Bot spies the LONAC insignia on Wait "What subgroup is that? I've never seen that symbol before." What can I say, I'm just a swell guy * Slipstream grins insanely, then resumes watching the curent race. Who's winning? All the stationed medics are busy, so this guy's left for me. The red one; Number 9. * Other Bot points Heh, he won't last long though. The black with the green and gold checks will overtake him soon.... there! See? Hitchhike, Lifeblood is probably in the research lab a few floors up, I could use his help Consider it done *leaves for the lab* Indeed. We're a group called LONAC. A long story, heh I heard some of the others saying something about an air show, you wanna see if we can find it? I'd wager that one taking up the rear is quite annoyed. Heh Where am I? Who is everyone? I'm scared... *to the injured bot* Can you tell me what happened? Just a bit, I'd say. Unless something happens, there's no way he'll catch up... I see... *lowers one optic ridge* I... I was... I... don't remember. It's ok, you're in a safe place now... try to stay calm * Waitstate mirrors the bot's expression Can you tell me your name? what's the problem? * Restore does a quick scan My name... *thinks for a bit before wailing* I don't know!!!!! his memory logs are slagged, his brain seems to have taken damage too, I'll need extensive scans to determine how much * Diablo spots two bots down below and wonders if he's seeing things * Hitchhike enters the lab and soon spots Lifeblood Well, I'm gonna see if I can find the air show. Hey, Lifeblood... * Lifeblood notices Hitchhike. I belive a *cough* "friend" of mine, Maximum, said something about looking for a group called Low-nak. It hurts all over... [comm] Hey Wait, Powerplay didn't get a new paintjob and Trihorn a new form, did they? * Sunspot wanders off. * Other Bot turns his attention back to the race and winces as No. 4 falls behind did you know Maximus? I haven't heard from him in a while. Shadowpaw and I brought in some bot, looks beat up pretty bad. Restore's got him downstairs, she could use your help Understood. [comm] not to my knowledge... Let us depart. He calls himself Maximus now? Strange departure from Magnum... he must have taken one hell of an ego trip since the last time we worked together. * Waitstate tries to hear over the engine noise from the racers * Lifeblood heads down to the lower level with Hitchhike. What was the last thing you DO remember? * Diablo jumps down off the building and flies above the two bots * Scamp eats an energon popper oh, wait... Magnum? I know a bot named Magnum, yeah. I must have misheard you. * Restore gets some tools and prepares them he joined our group recently * Lifeblood arrives. Ah, I see. I remember waking up and she *points to Shadowpaw* told me that she was going to help. It hurts... * Sunspot finds the air show and wanders in, looking around the crowd for familiar faces. * Lifeblood nods to Restore. [comm] Ok then. Hmm, thought these two were dead *comm goes off* * Twilight finds the information he's looking for and memorises it, then leaves the information booth. Doctor. I'm a doctor, I'll help to make it stop hurting Is he as angry as he used to be? *laughs* Depends what y'mean by angry. *snickers* Lifeblood, good. Angry? That's one way to put it *nods after after a moment* Indeed. * Sunspot buys some snacks. * Diablo transforms to bot mode and lands behind them * Slipstream spots Sunny Just how much time are we spending on this planet anyhow? The patient's memory files have been corrupted, unrepairable. There's some brain damage as well, but until the facility can spare its examination equipment, I can't tell how bad Hey, Sunny! Up here! *waves* Hey, Line-In! Acknowledged. Regrettably, I left Knock-Off aboard the Freedom. * Sunspot notices some waving and looks up. until the ship is finished * Sunspot goes to join the other LONAC-ers. which could take a while, heh. Allow me to make an examination to corroborate your findings. * Line-In turns around, surprised "Hey.. is that you Diab?" *wide eyed* What? What does that mean?? What's he going to do to me? No offense, but I hope the ship isn't ready for a while *To Waitstate* I do suppose it's time I introduced myself... * Direclaw turns around too and jumps straight at Diablo Go ahead. He's relatively stable for now, so we can repair his bodily damage. He's just going to check a few things, nothing to worry about sure *offers a hand* Mmm. If we stay here long enough, I might be able to actually participate in a race or two here... * Lifeblood nods and retrieves a few small pieces of equipment. * Diablo laughs. "Still trying to knock me over, Direclaw?" He won't harm you, he's a doctor as well. * Lifeblood begins his work. * Other Bot shakes Wait's hand "I'm called....Feedback." Yeah, it's me Line-In. Last I heard the entire team you're with disappeared. You two survived? Now I want to you try and relax, we'll have you fixed up in no time nice to meet you Feedback *The bot quickly grabs Shadowpaw's hand for support* * Sunspot sits down with the others and watches the race. Well met, Feedback. :) * Feedback pauses for a moment, touches his 'ear', and looks back at the race Yeah, barely.. things got nasty What timing... I'm afraid I must be departing. A client of mine has requested my presence. His right arm needs to be rebuilt from scratch Hrm. I concur that the memory erasure is complete. The brain damage seems to largely be centered in the sensory areas. Sounds bad. Hey, would you be happy to hear that I happen to know where Powerplay is these days? Did you interact with the patient before unconsciousness occurred? Ta'. No... we found him unconscious. You do? That's great. Haven't heard or seen him in a long, long time * Feedback disappears into the crowd * Slipstream watches a race that's just started * Waitstate waves to the departing bot And with memory data lost, we have no way of determining the extent of his sensory damage. * Diablo transforms to hovercar mode. "You two transform and get in here, then we can find him" Start on his mid section, his fuel ocolator has been smashed and oil has clogged some circuits connections * Sunspot turns to Slipstream. "Do we know any of these racers?" Nope, not that I've seen anyway Rocking! *Line-In and Direclaw tf to cassette mode and get in the tape player* We'll have to fix what he can until better equipment is available Acknowledged. * Lifeblood sets to work. * Feedback appears among the racers, somewhat near the rear of the crowd * Restore disconncets the bot's damaged arm and sets it on another table * Diablo transforms to dragon mode and flies up Any idea who did this? [comm] Wait, where abouts are you? MY ARM!! *stares in horror* A near as I could tell, just a pair of thugs after money * Feedback slowly moves up past the other racers Sight appears functional. It's ok, I'm going to have to make you a new arm, that one is, uh, broken. * Lifeblood opens a panel in his hand. *the bot holds SP's hand even tighter* He can still feel, he complained of pain when they brought him in. I've given him something for it Look into my hand. A series of lights will pass by. Tell me which you can and cannot see. *watching the race* Ooh, close call, that... Patient can obviously still hear on standard vocal frequencies. Bot> One... six, seven... ten. Those ones. I see them. Excellent. * Opal races around a corner, in the same race Slip and Wait are veiwing Can you hear this? *Bot looks around in alarm* What was that! Excellent. What about this? *Bot stares at Lifeblood, waiting for the next instruction* Please, try and keep still, he can't help you if you don't keep still whoa, was that Opal? Standard channels functional, emergency channels dead. Strange, but not unheard of. * Feedback drasticly loses speed as his engine gives out from stress. I... think it was! It appears the sensory damage may not be as extensive as I had feared. Speaking of piloted ships... * Diablo comms Wait again. Hey, you there? * Opal comes flying around again in the next lap, but comes too close to another contestant, clipping wings [comm] yeah Diab, what is it? eek, hope she doesn't crash'n'burn... * Opal and the other both suddenly and rapidly spiral out of control and crash to the ground [comm] Where abouts are you? Just happen to have Powerplay's brother and his wolf with me * Sunspot winces at the crash. * Waitstate jumps up as Opal crashes damn! Good show * Opal transforms and shakily gets to her feet * Scamp eats another energon goodie * Waitstate sits, relieved Ow. *shakes her head* * Feedback slowly glides over and past Opal [comm] sorry Diab, what was that? *whew* Doesn't look too bad... lucky... [comm] Where abouts are you? Just happen to have Powerplay's older brother and his wolf partner with me * Opal gets a nasty stare from the other contestant, and soon both are back in the race *Calling out* Best of luck next time...! [comm] Whoa... we're at Sabel Speedway watching some races **after a bit the bot is nearly completely repaired, as Restore puts his new arm back** [comm] Ok then * Diablo flies towards the speedway How soon until you can finish repairs? I've just heard we've got time in one of the cerebral examination rooms, so we do a full and proper scan on his brain now. Lifeblood, how are you doing? Nearing completion. Minor repairwork remains to be done on the thermal distribution grid. * Opal swings too wide on a corner a few laps later, clipping a building and crashing to the groud worse than before, sliding on the ground for distance afterwards * Waitstate jumps up again Damn, that one looked bad... It can wait, let's take him to the examining room Acknowledged. * Opal slowly transforms and sits upright shaking her head Now where are we going? Can she come, too? * Feedback decides that his engine has had enough, transforms, and drops to the sidelines, out of the race. Certainly Heh, she's a tough one, Opal is... * Restore leads the bot into the room and points to the large device She certainly is, Seekers are known for that you know Of course, I was the toughest * Scamp eats more goodies * Sunspot eats her snacks, too. I need to scan you, so if you could lay on that table, it will slide you under the machine and start scanning It looks scary... *gets up on the table and tries to act brave* Heh, perhaps, Scamp... Perhaps? I know it for a fact gorgeous :) * Soviet comes out of the crowd, drops a hand onto Scamp's shoulder, and whispers "I beg to differ, friend." * Opal shakily gets to her feet and decides she's had enough racing for one day and cautiously heads for a near by bunker * Diablo lands at the speedway and looks about for the others * Slipstream waves at Diablo * Soviet grins and disapears back into the crowd, nowhere to be found. * Scamp holds a bag of snacks to Slipstream did you say something Scamp? * Restore powers up the machine and it makes a series of hums and clicks * Slipstream takes the bag of snacks *scared by the noises* STOP! I DON'T WANT TO! * Sunspot steals some of Scamp's goodies. Nothing of any of your concern noble leader It's painless... you won't feel anything... * Slipstream hands Sunny Scamp's snack bag * Diablo spots Slip and transforms to hovercar mode, letting the tapes out then transforms to bot mode and walks over O.o whatever... * Splitwit crunches on some energon goodies beside Wait "Mmmm.... tastah!" * Sunspot chows down. No! It's big and scary and I don't know what it does! * Cystralline suddenly appears and climbs up onto Waitstate's shoulder * Slipstream blinks Hey, you here to see Opal race? Has it started yet? Don't eat too much, wouldn't want to stretch your energy storage tanks already over... I figured you'd be with her * Sunspot, noticing she hadn't given Launch back, gives him some goodies, too. * Line-In and Direclaw follow Diab it's going to help us see if your brain is ok you can do it, just try to relax Do not be afraid. * Launch quacks with joy and munches on some of the snacks NO!! *gets off the table and runs over to Shadowpaw* Did she win? and hell no, she's a mad enough pilot outside a race, no way I'd sit inside her during one :P * Lifeblood 's optics blaze as he wheels on the unknown. *to SP* Please don't let them do that... Nah, she crashed a coupla times, left the race. Pity. YOU - ... She was doing pretty good until then The process is absolutely painless. Hey, whats going on here? We need to do it if we are to have any hope of finding out who you are. Not much, dragondude. Watching the races, mainly. And consequently how we are to help you. Hey... it's OK, they aren't going to hurt you.. it'll help you know who you are... it's OK. No, Lifeblood... I guess it can wait till later * Lifeblood offers a hand. If it will reassure you, I will undergo the process so you can see how it works. He's been this responsive so far, so there can't be too much damage I suppose. If this will convince you of our intentions. *the bot looks scared* *nods quickly at Lifeblood* * Lifeblood nods. Doctor, recalibrate the machine to compensate for the Nucleon. * Sunspot pats Launch. "I hope Thrash remembers you're with me, little ducky. I don't want him worrying." * Lifeblood positions himself. *nods* *to the bot* You watch, Doc Lifeblood will do it to Hey Wait, this is Line-In and Direclaw *points to them* nice to meet you both :) Hi there. *Direclaw growls* *The bot watchs Lifeblood get scanned by the machine* * Cyrstalline waves to the new bots Nice t'meet you two. * Splitwit offers some snackies to Line-In and Direclaw "Howdy" * Restore begins the proceedure on Lifeblood *watches and gets even more scared by the big machine* You see, it's harmless :) *bot grabs SP's hand and runs off, dragging her along* * Twilight comms the Freedom and gets the answering machine. * Direclaw tfs to cassette mode and enters a slot on Diab's arm Uuh... *yells back to Restore and Lifeblood* sorry, Docs! Wait a secon--- oh nevermind. Come on Direclaw, it's not that bad here * Lifeblood stands. Hehe, still doesn't like crowded places Well, Lifeblood... His legs work. Even Optimus Prime has met with defeat. * Twilight listens to the answering machine msg till it informs him where the Freedom crew are staying at the moment crowded places ain't my favorite place t'be either, heh. Hehe, not under these circumstances, and if he did, he covered it up. * Thrashmane returns to the shuttles... wondering where Launch and Sunny are * Lifeblood nods. Thanks for your help. I'll get to him later. Primus preserve our patient from falling down an elevator shaft. *to self* Hm. That helps... Just don't give him a mirror, heh. I like the snacks here, though. *keeps running until he and SP are outside the med facility and away from it* That was SCARY!! Well, I might go see what supplies I can scum from the boss bots around here Uuuh.. yes. It was.. uhm, scary. Why were you scared? As you wish. * Diablo looks around and stares in one direction at a bot, then realises its not who he thinks it is It was big and made funny noises and... I don't know what it was going to do. * Opal arrives at where Witstate and co are * Sunspot waves to Opal. * Twilight starts for the accommodations where the lonac crew are staying * Sunspot offers Opal nummy snackies. Heya Opal. :) Heya Opal, fine job ya did there in the race :) You alright? hey Opal, too bad about the crash :/ It was going to help you. You saw that Dr Lifeblood was OK, right? You'd be fine, too. * Slipstream glances at Split and shakes her head slightly, then returns her attention to the races the snacks are better on this side of the fence though ;) *shakes head* I don't WANNA! *stomps feet and clenches fists* I'll take energon over pavement any day ;) hehe *To slip* What? You'd rather I said "Wow Opal, you sure bombed in the race there!"? Whoa.... OK, OK. So, you need a name. What should we call you? What grabbed your attention over there Diab? Yeah, it's gonna take me hours to repolish Hm? Heh, nemmind, Splitty. * Splitwit rolls his optics and offers Opal some Jerky Nothing, thought I saw Dominion but it wasn't him No thanks, my systems are still jittering around A'righ * Sunspot feeds Launch more snacks. *looks excited* A name! This is gonna be a FUN game!! I hope it wasn't him... *transforms and latches on to Opal* * HumanoidAndBat walk up to the little LONAC group at the racetrack. Hey everyone, look! Its a humanoid and a bat! *points* Any ideas on what you want to be called? * Slipstream looks, shrugs, and turns back to the races * Sunspot grins and waves, as usual. My word You're a bright guy. But pleasantries aside, your friend there is pretty fast. Such strange creatures in our presence then there's the humanoid and the bat * Humanoid points at Opal. The nice man called me nice! ^_^ Uh.. I am? Yay! As much fun as this is here, I'm going to get going *ejects Direclaw and leaves* *mutters* A miracle, heh see ya Diab What about... *thinks* Doc Lifeblood Is Scary? So what we want to know is, are you space-capable and for hire? Augh! The bat can talk! Yes, the bat can talk. Skar. Pleased to meet you. Except not really. * Slipstream snickers slightly Right. Not really. ahem, space capable, yes. For hire? Whats the job? Uhm... Doc Lifeblood Is Scary? That's not a name and.. and I don't think he'd like that. * Maximum-Magnum shoves his way through the crowd and up to Waitstate and the rest Simple, babe. We get off this planet. And fast. * Slipstream narrows her optics slightly at Skar and Co. * Shadowpaw walks with the bot into a small cafe and buys them both an energon treat before sitting down. Magnum... someone was looking for you or something earlier hey, Maxy. * Sunspot runs up and hugs Magnum. "Yay! You're okay!" I'm sorry, 'babe', but I'm a singer, not a racer, and certainly not a transport. Yes, I... er *pauses as Sunspot hugs him* I um... eh.. * Maximum-Magnum pries Sunspot off "Yes, I was coming here to see if Bentnose had contacted you." ...Bentnose? *snickers* that wasn't him This guy called himself Feedback I told you she was a display model. Feedback... of course. When did you see him? about 20 minutes ago I guess Yeah, yeah. Cram it, flaprat. Let's get out of here. I wish you could remember who you are.
