* GearWheel is on the cargo deck, searching for something * Anchor walks up behind Gearwheel. Can I help you? err.. well, yes * Roadkill sits on the bridge with his headphones on, kitty perched on his shoulder * Sunspot is sitting in the obs deck staring out the window. * Avalanche walks around the hallways, looking for something. * Waitstate is in the Medibrig with Lifeblood and Restore I was searching for a hydromagnacollector-of-protons machine Uh, sorry. I don't think we have any of that. The closest I know that I have in my ship is a Omnitime Nexus Circuit. * Switchbox sits in a comfortable corner of the observation deck, idly watching stars. oh... that can be used! Really, eh? Wanna follow me to my ship? I can grab it for you. okey! I was working on a really big monitor Is the procedure ready? Ready as I can make it * Anchor leads Gearwheel down the hallway, towards the elevators. oh, my! So, a really big monitor? How big? It will work. 15, or 16 meters high * Avalanche finds the sim rooms. And Diablo? Has he been told at all what we're doing? * GearWheel shows the little t.v. attached on my left arm Hm, I see. Not to my knowledge. * Avalanche makes sure one's unoccupied, then goes inside. is really bad for my optical circuits to see that little thing I spoke with him earlier this morning How did he react? Heh, I can relate. He agreed. Not before informing me what he'd do to us if it messed up, of course * Avalanche loads up a basic battle training sim. ahem, what is your function, Anchor? Trash. I think he's more concerned with getting out of this cell and into his body than he is about Hellfire and his... counterpart? any sign he'll try to interfere? Trash is my job. oh, a similar soul! Wouldn't matter if he did. The mode lock on Diablo has full control over his body. He can't even twitch * Anchor and GW enter the landing bay and head for Anchors ship, the Apartment. *pops the hatch* Stay here, I'll be right back. that aside, this drone body is too trashed to put up much of a fight * Avalanche fights stuff, and does it reasonably well. I can wake Diablo if you wanted to speak with him first Yes, please. okey! * Restore accesses the mode lock controls and wakes up Diablo * Anchor dissapears from view for a few minutes, then reappears holding the appropriate equipment with his tail. * Diablo wakes up Here you go. thanks! He's up, Waitstate. Diablo? We're about to begin well, I go to fix that t.v. thingie No problem. * Diablo ignores Waitstate ...right * GearWheel begins to work singing the "mansformers" theme * Anchor strokes his chin for a moment, then goes back into his ship with a strange look in his optics After this we're gonna put you back into your proper body and restore your security clearences. None of this has been because of you, I just hope you know that * Waitstate turns back to the medics Hurry up and get it started then I guess that's all I wanted to tell him * Restore nods then places Diablo back in stasis lock I'm just gonna observe. I'll stay out of your way unless you need me Let us proceed. The sooner this is done with, the better. Waitstate, if you could move into the observation room and seal the door. *nod* of course * Waitstate does so and activate quarrentine protocol Res1 Activated * Avalanche finishes the training sim with a high score and smiles to himself. At least I still remember THAT. Something, I guess. * GearWheel gets some "fuel" for the t.v. from the crap trash * Avalanche keys up a slightly harder sim to test himself further. * Restore deactives the cell's force field * Anchor digs through hatches and various containers On your orders, doctor. *to Lifeblood* Move the device into position and start it up Affirmative. * Lifeblood moves the sub-neural transductor into position next to Diablo. * Restore hooks up a few cords damn, that "mr. fission" converter need some liquid fuel! * Restore stands back behind the thingy LB just said Iniate when ready Stand by. * GearWheel wonders if the bar is open Running initial synchronization wave tests. err... Anchor are you here? * Anchor pops his head out of a hatch on the other end of the ship. "Can I help you?" well, do you know if the bar is open? * GearWheel smiles Neural synchronization established. Uh, actually I don't. I don't hang out there very often. All clear to initiate transmission of the...agent. Proceed, okay, I need to get some drinks at the bar! * Lifeblood pushes The Button. Transmission proceeding. * Hyperion sits on the bridge doing alot of nothing Flow control is routed to your station. can see if you can find some more trash for the "MR. FISSION" apparatus? * Restore monitors the proceedure, keeping thing in check * GearWheel goes to the bar!! .. *to self* Odd fellow.... Target signature is at eighty-eight percent and falling. Proceeding as planned so far *typing a few commands in* Recalibrating neural connections to his brain to handle the strain * GearWheel enters the bar with a smile on the face! Eighty percent. * Diablo shakes slightly No sign of infection to Diablo's spark, it's working well so far Lifeblood, increase frequency by two percent, I'm going to move forward with the doseage * Avalanche finishes the sim with another high ranking. * Anchor pops out of his ship, several strips of metal and other junk hanging off of him and holding a small box in his hand. Eureka!! ...acknowledged. Not bad at all. Maybe a little harder... * Avalanche keys up a harder training sim. * Restore increases the flow Won't be long now... * Waitstate watches grimly * Restore monitors for any effects on herself and Lifeblood * Anchor scrambles out of the cargo hold * GearWheel says hi to all 'bots here and goes to the bar top Proceedure is almost complete, no sign of side effects or miscontamination Commencing final burst * Hellfire screams out. Real loud * Lifeblood's optic band narrows. Mode lock failure! Try and stablize it! This is almost done! I'll try and get the system back online, hold on! * Waitstate patches in with a cyberlink and tries to find the problem Keep Diablo offline * Switchbox sits up a bit, surveying the observartion deck. Hey Sunspot, you okay? You seem a bit down. It's done... shutting down. * Roadkill wanders out of the bridge and heads for the obs deck, kitty curled up on his shoulder Lifeblood, run the checks. We have to be sure * Sunspot looks up. "Hrm? *sigh* It's nothing..." Waitstate, just keep Diablo from awakening * Lifeblood says nothing. * GearWheel still smiling, get some energon beverages I've got manual control. He blew out the automatics, but it's stable. Hopefully it won't be a problem * Roadkill enters the obs deck and spots Switch and Sunny. heya guys. how goes stuff? * Sunspot looks up. Lifeblood..? ...kitty? Hrm. You sure? I don't want to pry into anything, but if you want to talk... well, I guess I've got plenty of free time these days. Hmm? Oh, hi Roadkill. * Lifeblood looks up. You fool. * GearWheel returns to the cargo deck Roadkill? Is that...a real kitty? Fools, both of us. Was it not ENOUGH? * Waitstate is now totally occupied with the myriad modelock impulses and barely even notices what's happening in the main operating theater Was there not enough DEATH? Of everything dead in the universe, was there nothing better to resurrect than THIS? oh, yeah. /:) Why not resurrect the CHAOS-BRINGER? * Lifeblood would drool if he had a mouth. He manages to snarl. snuck on board the Freedom at last dock, I think. Cute, ain't she? Wow. I've never seen a real kitty before... * GearWheel begins to connect all of the really big t.v. It's so little... * Roadkill sits down on the floor ... * Lifeblood lunges for Restore's throat. Wow. Who's taking care of it? * Sunspot reaches over carefully and pets the kitty very gently with her finger. I'm takin' care of the kitty. :) Gives me somethin' t'do, heh. * Lifeblood pounds Restore's head into a table. *groggily* This... was not an option I had wished to pursue, Lifeblood. If something... wasn't done about Hellfire, more would have died... What's his... er, her... what's it's name? * Avalanche finishes the harder sim with a decent enough rating and decides to push his luck and key up a fairly advanced one. More will die NOW! We cannot contain the Waste! It cannot be STOPPED! Dunno yet. can't seem t'think of a name for her. Kitty has worked so far. /:) How can you be so damn sure! Run the checks and find out before flipping your servos! * GearWheel goes to the ship of Anchor aww, but that's no name for a cat. * Restore radio's the computer to try and shut off the console Waitstate is at, hoping to get his attention If WE can recreate it, ANYONE can! * Switchbox scratches under the kitty's chin * Waitstate fights his way to full awareness. Controlling the systems of someone else's body is a massive strain on a mind All it takes is one two-bit would-be Megatron! * Kitty murrs at all the attention And then night falls upon the universe once more! That's a possibility that has existed for a long time before we did this, Lifeblood, even YOU should know that I didn't know you had a kitty. That's really neat. * GearWheel knocks the door of the ship "hello?" * Waitstate manages to stand. Diablo twitches some as he loses some control. * Roadkill smiles slightly at Sunny. * Restore gets up off the ground There was a POSSIBILITY that the suns might explode and destroy the worlds! We did not have to TAKE! IT! IN! TO! OUR! OWN! HANDS! * Sunspot looks up at Roadkill. "So how are you today? * Lifeblood pounds Restore's head into the bench for emphasis. * Waitstate manages to locate the security panic button and slams down on it before he has to give his full attention back to the modelock system * Restore is knocked out Heh, not too bad, Sunny. :) * Drill_Master walks around the plaza * Waitstate is semi-catatonic. It was entirely too easy to slip into a dedicated processing mode for him... *noticing the alarm by his console* [comm] all security units to Medbay, NOW! * Lifeblood throws Restore at the floor and heads for the door. * Sunspot smiles a little and nods. Hmm, a security alert * Cuffs and Hitchhike run towards medbay Hyperion, get down there as well * Hyperion nods and makes his way down there well, hello anchor!! * Roadkill looks up suddenly at the security alert. "damn..." * Sunspot looks worried. Huh. Should we go to Medbay? *hands the kitty to Sunny.* Look after her for a bit, will ya? thanks. * Sunspot nods. Slag, I'm going too. Hello there, little kitty... * Roadkill gets up and heads off to the medbrig Be...be careful, guys. * Drill_Master heads to the medbrig * Switchbox follows close behind * Avalanche gets his rear handed to him in the advanced sim and calls it a day. * GearWheel knocks the door of the ship again * Lifeblood claws at the door. * Anchor is somewhere else, not in the Apartment * Roadkill arrives at the medbrig, closely followed by Switchbox * Avalanche steps out of the sim room to see everybody heading in one direction and decides to see what's up. Ah, more security this could get very messy * Switchbox draws his weapon damn, nobody's home! Does anyone know what the situation is in there? * GearWheel retreats to the t.v. * Cuffs and Hitchhike also arrive Waitstate? What is the emergency? * Hyperion arrives just after Cuffs and Hitchhike * Avalanche looks around at the crowd and notices everybody looking ready for a fight. * Waitstate turns his head to Cuffs Mode lock status nominal. There's rarely anything this exciting here He's been plugged into a terminal, he's not fully aware * Avalanche recognizes Roadkill and nudges his way over. Waitstate, what happened? *whispers* What's up here? Modelock overrides engaged. heh, singing turn the switch of the fuel converter from "OFF" to "ON" access the security footage *to Avalanche* I'm not entirely sure... * Cuffs moves over to a terminal and plays back footage of the last few minutes * Sunspot stares at the sleepy kitty thoughtfully. * Kitty looks up at Sunny and bats at shiny bits curiously Is Waitstate's connection to that terminal still active? What's this "mode lock" business? * Sunspot sighs. seems this situation is under control Poo. * GearWheel watches the t.v. machine when shows the first image !she is alive! * Drill_Master takes a seat in the corner Lifeblood attacked Restore, and is in the opposide side of the medibrig I would suggest that non-security units leave for what reason? * GearWheel says "chair" and some part of the machine transforms on a thing like a chair Shouldn't we stick around, just in case you need backup? well, is really good, *sits on the "chair"* * Cuffs moves forward to enter further but is stopped by the quarentine field *to Cuffs* There appears to be no need for a crowd here We have to wake up Waitstate... *moves to a console and patches into the system as best she knows how in an attempt to locate cyber Wait * Roadkill moves to the back to give more room, still keeping a wary eye on events * Switchbox backs off a bit, but keeps his rifle ready * Avalanche backs off. Roadkill, you and the others wait outside, we'll radio if need be. *nods* Will do. *moves outside* Computer, deactivate quarentine field, authorisation Cuffs, 3, 3, Delta Where are you Waitstate? * GearWheel smiles and says "main optical switch monitor of the ship" *the t.v. beeps and nothing happen* * Lifeblood methodically breaks everything in the medibrig. Medical or Command personal authorisation required * Moonstone wakes up from where he was curled up sleeping and eyes the kitty curiously. [NULLSET SYSTEM 1.0 RESPONDING: Modelock control systems currently handled by unit Waitstate.] crappy thing! * Kitty eyes Moonstone curiously * Hitchhike finds and brings Waitstate back to reality * GearWheel says "radio transmissions of the ship" and kicks the t.v. * Anchor approches a computer terminal. "Computer, locate Waitstate." Waitstate is in the medical bay. Have a nice day! *the t.v. emits some strange sounds* Hitchhike? What are you doing? I have to control the modelock... * Moonstone chirps questioningly. the system is damaged... Forget the modelock, Lifeblood attacked Restore, and we can't get into the medibrig. He's tearing the place up! But, Diablo... * Diablo begins to slowly regain consciousness *then emits some music* What about Diablo? * Waitstate shakes his head, trying to clear it He's going to wake up. We couldn't verify the procedure was complete. At least, I don't remember that we did Waitstate, Lifeblood is going crazy in there! Diablo and Restore are at risk! We have to deal with Lifeblood first! * GearWheel connects to a wired terminal from the t.v. What can I do? * Roadkill paces around outside the medbrig area, worried oh, man! that's entertainment television! * Avalanche sits down on the floor. I don't know why the quarantine field is up, but we need to get it down so we can get in there! * Anchor takes his time getting to the Med Bay The quarantine field is up because we were using a varient of the Waste. It should be safe to us, but we didn't want to take chances Can you check to see if it's safe to lower the field? yeah, hold on. I'll irradiate the room. * Waitstate turns to the console and activates the sterilization procedure there, it should be safe now Computer, deactivate quarantine field Quarantine deactivated. Thanks, *returns to real world* let's go * Cuffs draws his weapon and holds aim on Lifeblood * Avalanche looks up as things start happening. * Lifeblood pulls his own gun and rushes Cuffs. * Lifeblood screams inarticulately. Lifeblood! Surrender yo-- *dives* * Switchbox looks on, amazed grab him! *moves towards Lifeblood* * Waitstate stands up The doc's that strong? * Avalanche jumps to his feet. * Hyperion helps Hitchhike to grab Lifeblood * Lifeblood blazes away. [comm] Roadkill, Lifeblood is headed your way After him! * Waitstate turns back to the console * Hyperion turns and draws his pulse rifle I'll seal off the corridors... *does so* * Roadkill quickly arms his flamers STAY AWAY FROM THE EQUIPMENT! * Lifeblood claws at Hitchhike's optics. * Avalanche is suddently thankful that he just brushed up on his combat training. * Hitchhike falls to the ground screaming * Lifeblood struggles to get his arm free. This entire laboratory is a breeding chamber of the foulest kind. It must be cleansed! * Hitchhike quickly crawls away from the scuffle Let me GO! Cuffs> Hold him down! * Avalanche stands in a blocking position in the hallway, hoping to use his bulk as an advantage. What do we do? Should we fire on him? * Lifeblood attempts to shoot Hyperion. * Hyperion fires at Lifeblood's legs * Cuffs jumps onto LB's back, trying to wrestle him * Lifeblood gets kneecapped and crashes to the floor. * Hyperion gets some holes in his wings * Lifeblood shoots Hyperion with his nervous-system-out-of-control-gun. * Diablo stumbles out of the medbrig * Hyperion's nervous system goes out of control * Lifeblood throws his gun at one of the pieces of equipment that isn't broken yet. * Cuffs puts LB into a headlock somebody get a damn modelock! * Hyperion falls over and shakes on the ground * Avalanche looks over at Roadkill. "Think we should give it a try?" Might as well. * Avalanche nods. Tackle. On my mark. * Diablo looks for his body ... GO! * Roadkill goes! * Avalanche rushes Lifeblood, shoulders down for full impact. * GearWheel watches some of the action on the medibridge (using a security camera) [comm] Bridge to Waitstate, what's happening? I can't raise the security detail * Lifeblood, having recently regained his footing on legs with big holes in them, falls down again. [comm] Lifeblood's gone nuts, to put too fine a point on it. He's a lot tougher than he looks, too. Must be the Nucleon * Avalanche pins the doc. * Roadkill helps Avalanche pin Lifeblood to the floor * Cuffs crawls out from under LB first* * Switchbox runs up to Diablo hey guy, you okay? Hitchhike, where are you? *holding Lifeblood down* If one of you guys have a modelock, now would be a good time t'smack it on.... None of you UNDERSTAND, none of you can SEE... *clutching her face, in a corner* Over here do you have any modelocks?? * GearWheel snaps off the t.v. and goes quickly to the medbridge afraid not! * Diablo tries to push Switchbox away * Switchbox looks around frantically, trying to find someone not occupied with Lifeblood. * Anchor approaches the Med Bay, and noting the commotion, speeds up his gait a little * Waitstate locates a portable modelock and scrambles out to attach it to LB Diablo, what's your condition? Can you speak? * Roadkill keeps Lifeblood pinned while Wait attaches the mode lock * Avalanche struggles to keep Lifeblood down. * Waitstate activates the thing as soon as he gets it on * Diablo points towards his body. "Help me get back into that" * Anchor hops over to Switchbox, "What uh... is going on?" I have a much greater appreciation for these things now Huh? Who's in it now? * GearWheel thinks better and gets the plasma beams with himself No one *rushes towards it* * GearWheel shuts down the t.v. * Switchbox looks down at Anchor. "I got no idea. Diablo wants to get back into 'his body', if that means anything." Right.... I suppose this wouldn't be a good time to have a little chat with the Captain? * Switchbox yells "Hey! Crazy guy, talking about getting into his body! This a good thing? Anyone?" * Waitstate turns to Switchbox what? Waitstate, shall we move him into the medibrig... it appears his ailment is medically related * Cuffs turns to see Diablo when he hears Switchbox yell out Bloody hell. * Roadkill makes sure Lifeblood is secured, then gets up a good idea. we're going to need to repair the modelock system though Heh, don't worry, Switch. * GearWheel wanders outside the medibridge section! * Avalanche lets go of the doc slowly. * Switchbox chases after Diablo * GearWheel smiles to all the 'bots outside Commander, what of Diablo? Diablo? Damn, where'd he go? * Diablo attempts to remove his spark from the drone body He's over there *points* Well, if this whole body switching thing is something we want, shouldn't we help? whoa there, Diab. y'think that's a good idea t'try that without med assistance? * Sunspot pets the kitty. Pet pet pet. * Welder rushes into Medbay, finally I'm not entirely sure that's even possible without special equipment What happened?? * Diablo glares at Roadkill. "I wouldn't have to do this if it wasn't for you stopping me before" * Kitty murrs and gets petted by Sunny * Waitstate helps carry LB over to the medibrig iso-table * GearWheel approaches to sunspot "nice organic little life form" I hope everybody's okay down there... *raises hands defensively and backs off a bit* Hey, no need t'go grr at me... * Sunspot looks up. "Oh, hello there." *noting medibrig damage* Medibrig... oh man, Restore ain't gonna be happy... It's not mine, it's Roadkill's. I'm just kittysitting. * Switchbox sighs heavily Welder? Is that you? I could use some help here... * Avalanche looks around. Ouch. So, uh, is that that? We're out of danger? * Waitstate comms Engineering. "We need someone to fix the modelock system in the Medibrig" oh, one of the medbots goes crazy! * GearWheel pats the kitty * Hyperion is still on the floor unable to control his body *to those non security bots* We'll handle it from here, thanks. Someone...someone went crazy down there? One of the medstaff? * Anchor paitently waits I'll be there in a moment, Hitchhike... *kneels by Hyperion and takes out a small device* * Kitty looks from Sunny to Gearwheel and back again * Avalanche backs off. yep! * GearWheel smiles * Waitstate plugs the portable modelock into ship's power * Welder gives Hyperion a temporary fix* there, that should keep him unconscious for now at least * Sunspot's eyes get all big and scared. we need to fix the main soon though. The portables arent designed for extended use at this power level * GearWheel de-attachs a little t.v. to show the action on the medbridge! * Anchor saunters over to Waitstate and taps him on the... knee. * Sunspot looks at the screen. * Waitstate looks... down? *waves* Yes Anchor? Lifeblood...? Evening, Captain. I'm just letting you know that I'd like to have a little chat with you when you have the time. alright. Now's not a good time though Of course. * Anchor turns around and heads out the door * Avalanche grins at Roadkill. So I guess we did our job here. yup, looks that way. You'll be right for now, Hyperion, but don't leave. We'll need to take a closer look I see Diablo isn't far, maybe you should go talk to him... well, that guybot, lifeblood says something like "This entire laboratory is a breeding chamber of the foulest kind" * Hyperion nods "I doubt he'll be in much of a mood to talk" Well, he definitely ain't in a mood t'talk t'me... I don't understand... He's never been violent before... You're probably the only one he'll listen too * Welder moves over to Hitchhike * Diablo keeps trying to remove his spark Waitstate, where is Restore? oh, is some like a plague! Hitchhike, show me... that guy "hellfire" also was really violent! * Hitchhike moves her hands away form her face to reveal her gouged out optics *looks at Hitchhike and winces* Ouch... It looks like it's over now... Is...is everyone okay? Do you know? Ok, hold on a second. Roadkill, help me move her, please You poor thing... all okey ! Here, I can help, too. Guide her to the main examination table *points* well, Lifeblood has some legholes I'll be right with you Hitch * Roadkill helps guide Hitchhike to the medtable * Sunspot whimpers. ok... *kinda shakey, shock setting in* * Avalanche helps, too. * Waitstate sees a bit of white sticking out under some fallen equipment Computer, activate all med drones. 2 for medical, the rest for damage control, medibrig. * Anchor wipes some dirt off his shoulder. and someone named hitchhike has a good punch on her optical sensors aw slag... some help over here? Acknowledged. *drones soon appear* * Waitstate tries to move the heavy equipment himself Hm? *goes over to Waitstate and starts helping him shift the equipment* * Avalanche goes to help Waitstate. I think Restore's under here * Avalanche lifts heavy stuff. what happened in here... we just got the place fixed * Waitstate and the others get the stuff moved off her yikes... Bring her over, I'm going to need her help * Avalanche winces. "Oh no..." * Roadkill gently picks up Restore and brings her over to Welder Restore, are you ok? Restore> uuuuh.... *extreme grogginess and the like* she's alive at least, thank goodness * Waitstate reaches out a hand to help her up * Diablo looks for some sort of spark extraction device *glanecs over at Diab* umm... *quiet to Welder* Y'might wanna get Diab into his body 'fore he goes nuts.... Thanks guys... Waitstate, I'd appreciate it if Diablo didn't touch anything... Enough is broken around here at the moment I can't. Not alone, I need to get Restore up Come on Restore, we need you * Welder starts work on Restore* * Waitstate leaves her to Welder * Waitstate goes over to Diablo *t.v. apparatus generates a sort of leg and begins to wander on the cargo deck* She isn't hurt bad, a couple of big dents mainly. She's gonna have one hell of a headache though, I don't recommend anyone arguing with her when she wakes up Diablo... I'm sorry, that's going to have to wait just a little while. I should let her rest, but we need her help... *moves over to a drawer and takes out a device* At least she'll be okay. Then I won't be moving from this spot until I'm no longer inside this drone * Welder places the device on Restore's head and activates it * Restore stirs some more before finally coming to completely uh... anyone catch the number of the ambulance? *looks around, seeing the damage* Restore, how do you feel? * Restore stares at Welder for a moment, unimpressed *to Diab* fine... I promise it's a top priority, just as soon as the injured are back on this side of recovered err, sunspot *pats the kitty* what type of strange experiment are realizing the medbots? Alright, anyone who shouldn't be here, leave. I'm not feeling well. * Sunspot shakes her head. I...I don't know. aye aye, cap'n! *mock salutes, and quickly hurries out before Restore can do anything to him.* *leaning over to Welder* Prep whoever needs work first, I need to see Wait for a moment * Avalanche heads out the door. Got it *moves over to Hitchhike* Welder, will Hitchhike be alright? Good as new :) Concerned? That was interesting. Uh, well... ahem.. *more professionally* Yes, all my staff matter to me She'll be fine. * Cuffs nods and exits after RK and Avalanche *walks beside Avalanche* Well, that was fun... * Restore moves over to Waitstate, still a tad uneasy, siazable dents evident, and a noticable crack in her mouthplate* Heh. It would have been more fun if I hadn't already spent a while in the battle training sims. As it is, I could stand a rest. * Waitstate is with Diablo still Did it work? I never got a chance to perform post operation scans before Lifeblood lost it... Poor diddums. *grins* Anyway, I'm goin' back to the observation deck. care t'come along? I have no idea. I was... incapacitated * Cuffs looks back into medbay, staring at the door for a few moments after it closes behind him Sounds promising. we need to check, NOW. If there was any mistake, we might all be infected with a new strain of Waste... Yes, it worked. He is no longer here. Happy? I sterilized the lab * Cuffs returns to his office not good enough, I need to scan you and your spark for leftovers. and not just of Hellfire. Leftovers? The quarantine field held. I didn't drop it till I was sure. You didn't scan him, you don't know. This is not a request. * Avalanche heads for the obs deck. * GearWheel watches the little t.v. I scanned the lab though... alright, alright * Anchor continues the waiting * Roadkill arrives at the obs deck with Avalanche * Sunspot looks up. * Restore walks off and is soon back with some easy to move equipment. * Sunspot jumps up and hugs Roadkill. * GearWheel says hello * Restore scans Diablo three times over, checking her findings carefully Hellfire is dead. Thank the matrix for that * Roadkill looks surprised, then hugs Sunny back There is no need to worry about any form of Waste. * Sunspot then proceeds to hug Avalanche. * Kitty hides under a couch Hiya there, angel. Everything's okay now, don't you worry. I told you that already I told you he's dead already too I WILL be certain, from a medical stand point. *to diablo* Now, as soon as the wounded are healed, we'll get you back into your damn body. Then you can get out of my damn medbay. * GearWheel re-attaches the t.v. and extends a hand to avalanche What about Lifeblood? *walking away* If you want it done sooner, continue to rip at your chest. You'll only kill yourself trying. Oh, hello there. Nice tele you've got. * Restore and 2 med drones work on Hitchhike. Welder motions Hyperion over so he can fix him up too Fine then. I'm intending to leave here where ever this ship next stops. What? Why? Lifeblood... eh... err... yeah *the t.v. says exactly that avalanche says* We didn't beat 'im up too bad. Can't account for the rest of him, though. * Avalanche looks over at Roadkill. Because I need to leave here. I'm not entirely too happy at what I've become the past 8 years, and my staying here isn't going to help anyone. So he doesn't exactly have a history of that, huh? nope, not really... * Sunspot shakes her head. He always seemed nice... Maybe not very sociable, but nice... you *points to Roadkill* know what are doing with Lifeblood? *shrugs* He's unconscious in the medbrig at the moment. * Anchor checks the time It does. You have no idea how close we were to attacking when half the crew was intoxicated at that party on the obs deck, instead of later when we did. I agreed with a lot of what Hellfire suggested. That should be enough of an explaination of why I will be leaving. He's gone now though... surely we can work things out. I don't hold you responsible for your actions of late. I've already made my decision. I suppose I have no legitimate reason to stop you. But damnit, I'm sick of this! The last person to decide they needed to find themselves or whatever ended up dead! but *still watching Roadkill, with a smile* what happens before, err, because what thing that medrobot can goes crazy? I really have no idea... oh... * Roadkill sits down on the floor and tries to coax Kitty out from under the couch Then they should have been more careful! *Has no idea of anyone dying recently* * Welder finishes work on Hyperion All done :) Maybe, I have no idea. But if you want to see your future, I can show you Slip's body. It's in several large drawers in the next room! Thanks, Welder * Welder moves over to assist Restore, sending the two drones to help the other drones clean and repair medibrig * Moonstone walks over and chirps at Sunspot. * Sunspot picks the little dragon up. * Diablo looks saddened for a few seconds. "I've seen more than enough dead bodies in my lifetime. I'll still be going though." * Waitstate grabs the nearby counter tightly, then flings a tray of tools to the ground Damn you Diablo, would you just listen to me? Just once? argh! I am listening, just not letting it change my mind Just what do you expect to find out there *gestures in a random direction* that you can't get here, hm? tell me that Simple. What I was before I first came here. before you came here you were infected with an alien program which controlled and influenced you every bit as much as Hellfire. You'd do good to remember that What I was before that happened ... *sighs* I have no idea what that was I can't find that here * Hyperion keeps quiet on the other side of medbay * Waitstate leans against the counter. Maybe we can't give you that. But it's not like you've really given it a chance All better, Hitchhike. You can activate your new optics now Thankfully! Much appreciated, Restore, Welder :) No prob :) Anytime your eyes are scratched out, I'm here for ya :) How can I give it a chance here if I have nothing to remember it here? right... Well, I'm off :) back to work I go *leaves* So, you ready to get patched up now? No, lets get Diablo's transfer over with, then get medbay back together again. You know what? Forget it. Do what you want. I can't and won't deal with this. * Waitstate leaves, giving Hyperion a glance as he goes Couldn't you do a better job of that at full functioning status? Don't argue *notes Waitstate leave* * Anchor watches Waitstate walk past * Hyperion follows Waitstate out of Medbay * Anchor takes a glance inside Medbay, then follows Hyperion and Waitstate at a distance. * Waitstate goes a ways with Hyperion following, then stops and turns around. * Restore and Welder move over to Diablo Are you going to do anything with him? Move into OR1. No arguements. * Diablo does as told * Welder and Restore move Diablo's body into the OR and begin setting up for the procedure It's not my place to change his mind on things. He wants to go, let him. He'll listen to you if anyone. Don't use those couplers, Welder, I've been meaning to replace those for awihle but things always come up. I'm not so sure of that. Right, *gets a another pair* I doubt you'll like what I have to say next. * Restore and Welder hook Diablo up Just say it. I dislike people who beat around the bush. Ready here. * Restore nods, then turns to Diablo, glancing over his wrecked drone body I'm currently intending to follow him when he leaves You're WHAT?? This won't take long. And just for the record, we do the slag we do to you because we actually give a slag about you. Think about that before you make your next decision in life, please... *puts Diablo into stasis before he can respond* Let's do it. You heard me fine. There's a number of reasons why I'll be doing this * proceedure begins, Restore monitoring it at a near by console while Welder keeps check on the various things attached to both bodies* Yeah, well why don't you start listing them, hm? * Anchor slowly and casually approaches Waitstate and Hyperion, who both tower above him. Since you want me to, I will. * proceedure ends, Restore and Welder remove the various devices from the bodies * Restore wakes Diablo, scanning him How does THAT feel? Better. Thanks. go on then, go find a new doctor. * Anchor waits for Wait.
