Crush All Humanz: *so once more! three mechs, an open road in front of them, and a base behind them. to boldly traverse where they have traversed times before!*
Crush All Humanz: *even if one's bitter.* AT LEAST NOW WE
DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANY SLAGGING RECEPTIONISTS.
pinkbikerbot07: No, we still gotta go in through the
front door though. *grin*
elitawarrior: ....
Crush All Humanz: ....*glower* BUT WE HAVE THE ROOM
NUMBER. WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO THEM. OR HER. KNOWING MY LUCK.
pinkbikerbot07: *laughing, changes and heads out*
djpsychic wave: *It
took her some time, but she finally managed to locate Jeffrey*
Crush All Humanz: *transforms grudgingly, tailing Arcee as per usual*
elitawarrior: ....*unsure of what they were talking
about, but follows grudgingly* This is going to be a disaster.
JeffyTehHuman: *pacing in his room, impatient, texting Crusher repeatedly*
Crush All Humanz: :: DISASTER IS ONE WAY OF PUTTING IT....
:: *sends a text to Jeff that says, "CALM DOWN, WE'RE COMING."
JeffyTehHuman: ::Can't help it, scraed,
hurry::
djpsychic wave: *Once
again she found herself outside the building, this time on the balcony of the
room.*
JeffyTehHuman: *pacepace*
pinkbikerbot07: ::There it is.:: *town just ahead*
::You know where to go, Crusher?::
Crush All Humanz: :: 210, HILTON. :: *extra speed for
poor, scared Jeffy* :: HE'S RIDING WITH ONE OF YOU.
::
pinkbikerbot07: ::...on a bike? He'll fall off me.::
elitawarrior: ::He's not getting in here. He goes
with you.::
Crush All Humanz: :: ........... ::
JeffyTehHuman: ....::hurryhurryhurry::
djpsychic wave: *is
watching for a good moment to enter the room*
pinkbikerbot07: ::There's the Hilton.:: *pulls in,
parks*
JeffyTehHuman: *finally sits down, head in his hands,
computer in lap*
Crush All Humanz: :: ........I'M NEVER GONNA LIVE THIS
DOWN.... :: *parks - oh my god he did it properly this time GOLD STAR - and
pops his holo into amazing existance*
pinkbikerbot07: *holo
flickers into existance, and grins at Crusher* Good
job.
Crush All Humanz: *shrugs* Eh. Parking's
stupid.
elitawarrior: ::You'll be fine, Crusher.:: *smirk, holo pops next to the other two*
pinkbikerbot07: Whatever. *drags them towards the
hotel*
Crush All Humanz: *grumbling all the way* This is gonna be
miserable.
pinkbikerbot07: It'll be -fine.-
djpsychic wave: *slides
the balcony door open again, without making a sound*
elitawarrior: *glances mildly at Crusher* He's
whiney.
JeffyTehHuman: *still sitting there, gripping the
computer, waiting for a text or something*
Crush All Humanz: *glare!* If you had to deal with what I had to deal with the last few night's you'd whine too!
Crush All Humanz: *sends a text* :: in the building. ::
elitawarrior: Oh, what've you been through? *grin*
pinkbikerbot07: *optic roll* Don't ask.
djpsychic wave: *is
approaching very quietly, if the human looked back she was screwed*
JeffyTehHuman: *thrilled* ::Great.:: *stands up, grabbing
his computer, turns and freezes* NOT YOU!
Crush All Humanz: Oh, now you don't want to tell
anyone.
pinkbikerbot07: Oh, can I tell her then?
Crush All Humanz: ....No.
elitawarrior: Oh please tell me. *beg*
JeffyTehHuman: *backs slowly towards the door*
Crush All Humanz: You can't. Now, can we get the slagging
squishy and go back so I can drink some more?
elitawarrior: *glare*
pinkbikerbot07: Fiiine. *shoves him towards the door* Go in
then.
Crush All Humanz: *grumbles but follows orders (hah, what
a pansy) and trudges dutifully in*
Receptionist: *aaaaaaaaaaand....gues who's the Receptionist!*
djpsychic wave: *rushes
forward, pushing him into the door. One hand on his mouth to stop his screams*
Crush All Humanz: *at this point was expecting it* Hullo. Annie.
*glaaaaare.*
JeffyTehHuman: *struggling to send a text*
Receptionist: Hi there, sugar! *grins, then frowns* I
hope you don't need no more rooms, I lost two jobs cause of ya'll...
pinkbikerbot07: *nudges Elita
with a cackle*
Crush All Humanz: *glower*
JeffyTehHuman: *sendly * ::HALP::
Crush All Humanz: *storms over* No. I will not be
requiring anything from you, ever. And! *BITCHSLAP*
Don't touch my boyfriend ever again.
Crush All Humanz: *and of course NOW he gets the text*
Crush All Humanz: ....
Receptionist: *stare* I'm calling the police!
Crush All Humanz: Have fun.
elitawarrior: *911*
pinkbikerbot07: Oh great. Great job, Crusher.
Crush All Humanz: :: NO TIME, SCREW GOING UP THE ELEVATOR I'M POPPING INTO HIS ROOM. ::
Crush All Humanz: I'll just tell them about how you
sexually abused me and my boyfriend.
elitawarrior: ::Works. We know where it is::
djpsychic wave: *struggles
with Jeff to take his cell phone away. It was difficult with her trying to keep
him quiet at the same time*
Crush All Humanz: And wouldn't stop, even after you lost your job.
Crush All Humanz: Oh, and by the way. BOO. *dissipates to
reform his holo in Jeff's room*
djpsychic wave: *hits
his head with the door. Hard*
JeffyTehHuman: *gurgle, dazed and confused, still desperately
trying to fight even though the rooms getting awfully dark*
elitawarrior: *blinks, confused by all that, and
pops in behind Crusher*
pinkbikerbot07: *eyeroll, follows suit*
djpsychic wave: *not
sees holos and does the same again*
Crush All Humanz: *glare* So, are you letting go
now or am I getting the pleasure of ripping you limb from limb?
JeffyTehHuman: *blacks out*
elitawarrior: ::...you're asking questions?!::
*leaps at her*
Crush All Humanz: :: I GIVE WARNINGS! ::
pinkbikerbot07: ::Fuck warnings!::
pinkbikerbot07: *grabs at the unconscious human*
djpsychic wave: *surprised,
turns around and let's him go. Barely having time to dodge the woman*
JeffyTehHuman: *is limp noodle*
elitawarrior: *pounce!*
Crush All Humanz: :: PRIMUS, SOME AUTOBOTS YOU ARE. :: *lunges forward as she dodges
Elita, hands aiming for the neck*
pinkbikerbot07: *snatches Jeff, tossing him roughly
behind her, following Crusher* ::Yeah, aren't we great?::
djpsychic wave: *dodges,
throws sawblade, and runs*
JeffyTehHuman: *thrown against a wall. X.x*
elitawarrior: *tumbles into table, knocking crap
everywhere*
Crush All Humanz: *chases, not bothering to dodge the
blades - it's just a holo after all right? sure OW
okay that hurt* Come back here, you little slagger- *grabs at!*
djpsychic wave: *Is
grabbed*
JeffyTehHuman: *coming to groggily* Ugh wtf...
Crush All Humanz: *shakes * I am going to rip
your filthy arms off - *and proceeds to start yanking from just below the shoulders,
completely prepared to do just that!*
JeffyTehHuman: *mumble* Stop don't hurt her...
djpsychic wave: *Arms
grab him while she jumped and used both her legs to kick him back*
JeffyTehHuman: *sill on ground, watching, owie head hurts*
Crush All Humanz: *glares over his shoulder at Jeff* Don't
tell me what not to do, slagger - OUGH! *stumbles
back but tightens his grip on her arms, yanking roughly but not quite enough to
do any .... lasting damage*
elitawarrior: *standing, shoving the table away from
her, then leaps at her and attempting to wrap her hands around fuel lines,
trying to cut them off*
djpsychic wave: Let
me go! *She tries headbutting him, but is jumped by
another one*
elitawarrior: *griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Crush All Humanz: I'll let go when you're in pieces. *is at this point adjusting his holo's sensors to give it more of his own strength, not
bothering to make the mouth move or any of that crap, other than to PULL.*
djpsychic wave: *Manages
to activate one of her flashbombs, an extremely bright
light filled the room. She hoped this was a good distraction*
pinkbikerbot07: Ugh. *blinking rapidly, since that's
what humans did when they saw bright stuff*
Crush All Humanz: *winces at the light as it flares across
sensors and half blinds him as it is, loosening his grip just a tiny bit as
he's caught off guard*
elitawarrior: *her own grip loosened as well as the
light temporarily blinds her*
JeffyTehHuman: *had his eyes closed anyway, but saw the
flash through his lids* Ah...
djpsychic wave: *It
was enough for her to wriggle free of the two of them and try to escape again.
This time, she let loose small little mines that would explode on contact on
the floor behind her*
JeffyTehHuman: *cowers in corner*
elitawarrior: *growls and jumps back as the mines
exploded on the floor*
Crush All Humanz: *kind of half-steps around two or three
of the mines - slag they're everywhere - and growls ferally* Come back and play with us, why don't you?
pinkbikerbot07: *hiss* Yes, come and play...
JeffyTehHuman: *whimper whine, covering his poor head*
djpsychic wave: *looks
behind her, the human would be so easy to kill now. She took aim and shot
another sawblade at him*
elitawarrior: ! *leaps in front of Jeffy*
pinkbikerbot07: *waits for the explosions to die down,
then, pushing more energy into the holo, jumps at the
crazy bot*
Crush All Humanz: *moves fast, pulling all weight
out of his holoform and making it nothing more than
an image, jumping in mid-sprint and materilizing now
for a grand bodyslam*
JeffyTehHuman: *cries out, blinks at Elita*
elitawarrior: *groans a bit, manages to take the
hit, Soundwave can kiss it, and reaches behind her to prod at Jeff* You live?
djpsychic wave: *She
expected the mines to explode, but she watched wide eyed as they didn't. When
she tried to move out of the way, it was already too late.*
Crush All Humanz: *TACKLE!*
JeffyTehHuman: *whimper* Y-yeah...
pinkbikerbot07: *TACKLE BEHIND CRUSHER*
Crush All Humanz: *total dogpile,
with Crusher adding all the strength he can into his holo
to pin her, hand clenching down on the side of her face and shoving it into the
ground*
elitawarrior: Good. *leaps into dogpile*
djpsychic wave: *Under
everyone. She's struggling to get out, but she was not made for this kind of
fighting.*
Crush All Humanz: SO. Now, how do we take you apart? Limb
by limb or armor in? *is grinning, totally ready to do either or*
elitawarrior: *pins her arms*
JeffyTehHuman: *trembling in corner* Don't kill her or
anything...
Crush All Humanz: *glares over his shoulder at Jeff* Why not?
You're delusional. Just be quiet.
JeffyTehHuman: *whimpers* Don't want anyone to die...
djpsychic wave: *stays
still, optics turn off. She looks to be offline*
pinkbikerbot07: *stare* Bullshit. Don't let her up.
*pins legs*
Crush All Humanz: *has seen this game several times*
JeffyTehHuman: *clutching computer, stare*
elitawarrior: *growls, yeah right, like they're
gonna fall for that*
djpsychic wave: *is
really not moving or anything. There were no sounds coming from her*
pinkbikerbot07: ....
Crush All Humanz: .....*looks at Jeff again, keeping
himself firmly on top of her* If we let her go, all she'll do is stalk you some
more. If we take her to base, she'll get taken apart by Shockwave, or Blackout,
or hell, Megatron.
JeffyTehHuman: *quiet in the background* I don't...I
don't know...
Crush All Humanz: *pissed* You don't know?
Crush All Humanz: She was ten klicks
from killing you, and you don't know?!
JeffyTehHuman: I know I know...*whimper*
elitawarrior: *staring at Jeff in disbelief* What do
you want us to do with her then? *still has blade thing sticking out of her, dammit*
Crush All Humanz: *has two.*
Crush All Humanz: *not that he's keeping count.*
pinkbikerbot07: *glare*
JeffyTehHuman: I don't KNOW!
Crush All Humanz: *growls a little and then looks back at
the mech under him* Designation? RESPOND.
JeffyTehHuman: *wibble*
djpsychic wave: *is
dead to the world*
pinkbikerbot07: ....She's being a bitch. Take her out.
Crush All Humanz: *jerks her head back and slams it
against the ground* RESPOND!
JeffyTehHuman: *whimpers, covers head*
elitawarrior: *growling* She's either playing dead
really well, or seriously offline.
djpsychic wave: *Aw,
hell. Playing dead was a bust. And she really didn't wanted to die.* Classified
information. *a small Decepticon logo could be seen*
pinkbikerbot07: Unclassify it then. *growls*
Crush All Humanz: *growls again* You're clearly lower
in rank than me, if you were a Decepticon. And second, you would have
recognized my signal readout as such. Give me your name.
JeffyTehHuman: *clutch computer, silent*
djpsychic wave: Name:
N.B.E. 1B
elitawarrior: *blinks* ...
Crush All Humanz: ....
pinkbikerbot07: ...
JeffyTehHuman: ...!
Crush All Humanz: *hisses* Sector Seven.
JeffyTehHuman: *trembles* Oh boy knew it knew it knew
they'd come after me...ooooh boy...
Crush All Humanz: Great. Slagging great - you're
the stupid ghost that was lurking in our base, aren't you?
Crush All Humanz: Because if you are, I'm going to
have so much fun ripping you apart.
djpsychic wave: *silence*
pinkbikerbot07: *snarls* Kill her already, and lets get
out of here. We've got what we came for.
elitawarrior: Arcee.
Crush All Humanz: .... :: I'M GOING TO CONTACT MEGATRON. AFFIRMATIVE? Y/N. ::
Crush All Humanz: :: HE OUT OF ALL OF US WILL WANT TO HAVE
A SAY. ::
elitawarrior: Megatron?!
JeffyTehHuman: ...*stares* Oh this gets better and
better.
Crush All Humanz: It's either Megatron, or we drag her aft
back to base and hope we don't lose her.
djpsychic wave: *squirms
under him...erh...everyone*
elitawarrior: *firm pin*
Crush All Humanz: So? *glares at the other 3* Which would
you prefer?
JeffyTehHuman: *squirm* I don't know...
djpsychic wave: *stops
moving and decides to wait for better moment to strike*
elitawarrior: *still. gripping her*
pinkbikerbot07: Kill her.
Crush All Humanz: *grins darkly at Arcee*
I'm liking that option more and more. *turns that grin to their captive* It'd
be so much fun to spend some quality time with classified information
here.
pinkbikerbot07: I agree. Get whatever information we
can, then rip her apart.
elitawarrior: *grumbles* Arcee,
stop.
JeffyTehHuman: Don't kill her. *feeble*
Crush All Humanz: *looks at Jeff, now more exasperated
than anything* Explain to me why not. Give me one good reason.
JeffyTehHuman: ...*coughs*
pinkbikerbot07: Exactly. Get what you can out of her,
Crusher. *snarling*
elitawarrior: Arcee. Calm down...*growls lightly*
pinkbikerbot07: ....*hiss*
Crush All Humanz: She doesn't get to talk anymore.
*looking at Jeff levelly* I'm disappointed. You couldn't even come up with one
good reason as to why we shouldn't kill her.
pinkbikerbot07: Just kill her. She's useless to us if
she doesn't talk.
JeffyTehHuman: *sniffs* She didn't kill me. *points out*
She had an easy opportunity last night. And she walked out. *referring to when
she walked out of the bathroom*
Crush All Humanz: *glares* That's not a good
excuse. Had we decided to play by human rules and take the elevator? You'd be dead.
pinkbikerbot07: *sighs, really just wants to kill the
mech*
JeffyTehHuman: I know...but still...
JeffyTehHuman: I could already be dead.
Crush All Humanz: *looks to Arcee*
Give me a moment. I'm getting confirmation on our objectives from Megatron.
pinkbikerbot07: *impatient*
elitawarrior: He's got a point...
==To: MEGATRON==
:: COMMUNICATIONS REQUESTED: ACCEPT Y/N? ::
LordBigMegs: Y
Crush All Humanz: SO. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ONE SECTOR SEVEN ROBOT ON A GOLDEN PLATTER?
LordBigMegs: Excuse me?
Crush All Humanz: I'VE GOT AN AUTOBOT FEMME QUITE READY TO TEAR THIS ONE'S ENERGON LINES OUT, AND ANOTHER WHO WOULDN'T WANT ME TO HURT HER. *sounding distracted*
Crush All Humanz: OH, AND A HUMAN WHO CAN'T DECIDE AS TO WHY I SHOULDN'T BE RIPPING HER TO PIECES.
LordBigMegs: I want to see this S7 robot.
Crush All Humanz: AFFIRMATIVE. ....HOW MANY PIECES DO YOU WANT HER IN? ARCEE'S PRETTY INTENT ON RIPPING AT LEAST AN ARM OFF.
LordBigMegs: As long as she's functional, I don't care how many pieces.
LordBigMegs: Bring her.
Crush All Humanz: *darkly* YES SIR. YOU'RE MAKING A FEMME VERY HAPPY. BE BACK WITH THE CAPTIVE ASAP.
LordBigMegs: Understood. I'll be waiting.
==================
Crush All Humanz: *grins now, viciously* Megatron would love
to see you. And he doesn't care how many pieces he sees you in, so long as
your functional.
pinkbikerbot07: *grins* So can we play with her first?
Crush All Humanz: We can do whatever we want.
pinkbikerbot07: *...thrilled* Oooh,
goody.
JeffyTehHuman: ...guys....
djpsychic wave: *looks
at them, debating if she should speak or not*
Crush All Humanz: *looks over at Jeff* Feel free to wait
for us downstairs. We might be a little while.
JeffyTehHuman: Don’t...don't hurt her...
pinkbikerbot07: A long while. *grinning, reaching for
the 'Con*
djpsychic wave: I
guess they were right. *She finally spoke*
Crush All Humanz: ........
JeffyTehHuman: *whimpers*
pinkbikerbot07: *stops*
Crush All Humanz: *growls* Expand on that.
elitawarrior: Arcee. ::I want to talk to you. Later.::
*growl*
JeffyTehHuman: *blinks at the voice, edges closer*
djpsychic wave: Get
off from me.
djpsychic wave: *squirms*
pinkbikerbot07: Hell no. *pin, shoves her roughly
against the ground*
Crush All Humanz: *snorts* Slag no. *grinds her head sharply into the ground*
Crush All Humanz: EXPAND. Continue your dialogue.
elitawarrior: Arcee, I'm going to order you outside if
you don't calm the slag down.
pinkbikerbot07: *relents, only slightly* Well? Expand,
drone.
djpsychic wave: *yelps,
but does nothing more. Great, she just finished repairing herself and now this*
JeffyTehHuman: Stop hurting her! *shouts at the yelp*
djpsychic wave: My
superiors. They were right.
JeffyTehHuman: ...What? About what?
djpsychic wave: You
would destroy your own children.
djpsychic wave: *is
in pain, but hiding it quite well*
elitawarrior: ...*stays quiet*
Crush All Humanz: *snarls at that, grinning darkly* Oh, I
would destroy Megatron himself.
pinkbikerbot07: and I'd help him. *dark, gleeful grin*
djpsychic wave: The
go ahead and kill me, brutes.
djpsychic wave: More
will come.
Crush All Humanz: *shakes his head* Unfortunately for you,
Lord Megatron wants to see you alive.
pinkbikerbot07: Oh, can we?
djpsychic wave: Why
would he want to see me now?
djpsychic wave: *really
wants out of the dogpile*
Crush All Humanz: Because slagging Sector 7 was idiotic enough to attack him and his mate. And he holds grudges. Now. Which arm do you want removed first?
Crush All Humanz: *experimentally moves his hand from her
face to her left arm, yanking it sharply*
pinkbikerbot07: They attacked all of us. We have no
sympathy for S7.
JeffyTehHuman: ...*kerblink*
Stop...
djpsychic wave: And
that makes it right to destroy his own child?
pinkbikerbot07: *gleefully looking at Crusher, damn,
what was wrong with her- WHAT?*
Crush All Humanz: *grinning* Oh, he made no mention of killing you.
Crush All Humanz: I have a feeling, in the mood he's in?
Oh, you'd much prefer death.
pinkbikerbot07: *nods* What we are going to do to you
is going to be far less painful than what he can. *experimental yank of wiring*
elitawarrior: Arcee. Off of her. Now. *hiss*
djpsychic wave: *refrains
from screaming, though it hurts like a bitch*
elitawarrior: *glaring at Arcee
from pinning the bot's legs*
pinkbikerbot07: *snarls at Elita,
another tug, rougher* Why?
Crush All Humanz: *leans down to hiss at their captive* I
can't wait for you to start screaming.
djpsychic wave: *is
completely silent*
JeffyTehHuman: *shouting* STOPITNOW!!
pinkbikerbot07: *jumps*
elitawarrior: *stare to Jeffy*
Crush All Humanz: *turns to glare at Jeff, angry.*
You ungrateful little bastard.
JeffyTehHuman: *trembling* Not...not ungrateful...*shake*
JeffyTehHuman: *terrified of -all- of them at the moment,
begins to back away slowly*
elitawarrior: ::You've scared him, you two. Nice.::
Crush All Humanz: Yes, you are. You bring me out
here just to tell me not to hurt her? She's lucky I haven't utterly destroyed
her for what she tried to do to you!
JeffyTehHuman: *headtilt, well
that statement was cute*
JeffyTehHuman: I am *not* ungrateful. *mumbling to
himself, backed against the wall*
Crush All Humanz: *utterly furious* What the slag
did you think I was going to do, you moron? *gives the arm in his
grip another vicious jerk* And you are. You're ordering me around as
though you're my superior, whelp.
JeffyTehHuman: *curls up in ball, head in lap* Sorry...
elitawarrior: I think we ought to just bring her
back to the base. That receptionist downstairs said she was going to call the
police.
pinkbikerbot07: ...is that bad?
Crush All Humanz: *looks at Jeff for a long moment, before sighing and looking to Elita* That's what Megatron wants. And besides - we disappeared in front of her.
Crush All Humanz: There's no one on this planet who'd take
her seriously.
elitawarrior: *nods* Either way, I think we should
take her back to the base now, in case the hotel staff heard the commotion.
elitawarrior: Last thing we needs is for him *points
to Jeff* is to get caught in here. He can't just disappear like our holos can.
Crush All Humanz: *growls* Fine. How are we transporting her?
Crush All Humanz: *clearly displeased, though it's
not clear at what*
JeffyTehHuman: *whimper, quiet in his corner*
elitawarrior: *stares at the mech below them* I
don't know. You are the biggest.
elitawarrior: My alt is tiny, she wont fit.
pinkbikerbot07: She wont fit on me. *glare to robot
below her*
Crush All Humanz: *snarls* FINE. We need to get her
out of here, preferably bound and offline.
Crush All Humanz: The last thing I need is her deciding to
choke Jeff while I'm heading back to base.
elitawarrior: *nods* That's a good idea.
djpsychic wave: *and
what can she do against three N.B.E.s against her.
She will bide her time. She escaped once from one. She will escape again.
Crush All Humanz: *and with that, he grabs her face and slams
her head against the ground hard, fully intending to either offline
her or just crush her skull - whichever comes first*
elitawarrior: *wince*
JeffyTehHuman: *has long ago buried his head, doesn't
see*
pinkbikerbot07: *gets up off of her, letting Crusher do
the honors*
Crush All Humanz: *is controlling himself masterfully, really,
considering how much easier it would be to just rip out her energon
lines and let her bleed out, only intending to do this particular move until
she's disabled but not dead*
djpsychic wave: *there
are sparks, many sparks, and she's instantly offline*
Crush All Humanz: *growls* Slag. And it would have been so
much nicer to do that a few times. *looks around the room* Need to bind her.
JeffyTehHuman: *muffled mumble* Sheets?
Crush All Humanz: *looks at the bed for a long moment, and then to Arcee* Would you like to do the honors, Bubblegum?
Crush All Humanz: *rather casual, now that he doesn't have
anything to bash*
pinkbikerbot07: *grins in delight, yanking the sheets
of the bed and rolling them, then deftly binding the offlined
mech, not exactly gentle*
Crush All Humanz: *moves back and then hefts their unconscious
captive over his shoulder, not giving her much of a second glance* How do we
get out of here with a mech over my shoulder?
JeffyTehHuman: Balcony. *standing, swaying slightly and
looking nauseated*
Crush All Humanz: *looks at Elita,
casually bypassing Arcee* Up for a game of catch? I
need to drop her down to somebody. Megatron wants her functioning.
pinkbikerbot07: I'll catch her. *looks gleeful*
elitawarrior: Er...*glances at Arcee*
I'll get her, thanks Arcee.
elitawarrior: *hopping out the fire escape/balcony
thing, scrambles to the ground, then calls up* Ready when you are.
Crush All Humanz: *wanders casually out to the balcony and
unceremoniously dumps their hostage down to Elita,
just barely making sure to aim*
elitawarrior: *has to reach a bit to grab her, but
manages to catch her and throw her over her shoulder* Got her. Come on down,
guys.
Crush All Humanz: *looks over at Jeff* Take the elevator
down, and then walk to me. Don't talk to the receptionist. You're going to sit
in the driver's seat.
JeffyTehHuman: *whimper* Okay.
pinkbikerbot07: *is out the window after Elita*
JeffyTehHuman: *takes off to the elevator, jamming
buttons*
Crush All Humanz: *reforms his holo
to be leaning against his alt form - man is that a weird concept - waiting
patiently*
elitawarrior: *dumps the still body into the alt
mode*
JeffyTehHuman: *walks out of the hotel, looking
terrified, still holding his computer*
Crush All Humanz: *the holo
moves easily around to the passenger door, both doors swinging open* Get in.
JeffyTehHuman: *scrambles in, terrified*
pinkbikerbot07: *changes, then speeds off towards the
base*
Crush All Humanz: *the holo
doesn't disappear once it gets into the passenger seat - just a show, really -
and he revs his engine, turning around and starting back for the base*
JeffyTehHuman: *squeak*
elitawarrior: *following behind the others, doesn't
give the place a backward glance*
Crush All Humanz: *still talking through his Holo, even though he's leaving his comm lines open to the
two femmes, letting them hear everything* Anything you do at the base is an
extension of my own actions.
JeffyTehHuman: I'll be good...*soft voice*
Crush All Humanz: *pretty much emotionless, really, more
focused on monitoring the captive, to make sure if she wakes up she won't be
causing trouble* If somebody has a problem with you, they now have a problem
with me.
JeffyTehHuman: I'm...I'm sorry...I don't mean to be a
burden I can stay out of the way...
Crush All Humanz: *sighs* You aren't a burden, or my pet,
but you are my responsibility now. You'll need to be cautious when
talking with mechs who may or may not be friendly to
you.
djpsychic wave: *sparks
come out of her head, as her optics glow a dim yellow*
JeffyTehHuman: *immediately practically climbing out the
window*
Crush All Humanz: *sighs again, directing his words to the
captive* If you move much, I'm going to do far worse to you than I already
have. When we're back at base, Megatron will see you, and then most likely send
you to Hook for repairs.
djpsychic wave: *processor
is damaged, she doesn't recognize where she is*
JeffyTehHuman: *curls against the window, terrified of
her even though she's tied up*
Crush All Humanz: *looks over at Jeff* She's not doing
anything. And if you're so afraid, why didn't you allow Arcee
and I to take care of her?
JeffyTehHuman: *mumbles* I dunno...didn't...didn't seem
right...
Crush All Humanz: *grumbles* Not supposed to be right,
supposed to be just.
JeffyTehHuman: *fumbles for words* But...two
wrongs...don't make a right...*hates sounding cliche,
but it's true*
Crush All Humanz: *growls*
JeffyTehHuman: *winces, falls silent and clutches his
computer case*
djpsychic wave: *optics
turn on and off, with a rather impressive show of sparks every time it happened*
Crush All Humanz: ............*grr.*
She's lucky both you and Megatron want her alive. Just one of you two and I
don't know if I'd care enough.
JeffyTehHuman: *covers himself from the sparks* I'm
sorry...
JeffyTehHuman: I'm causing you a lot more trouble than
I'm worth...*mumble*
Crush All Humanz: *glares* Shut up.
JeffyTehHuman: *quiet, curl*
Crush All Humanz: The next time you say you're not worth
the trouble, I'm going to personally sock you. Maybe even not as a holo.
JeffyTehHuman: *winces* S-sorry...
JeffyTehHuman: *glancing over at the other mech, sigh,
clutch computer*
Crush All Humanz: *growling to cover up his awkwardness awww* Stop saying your sorry. I don't need your apologies. And if you weren't worth the trouble, you wouldn't have had 4 mechs looking for you over the past few days.
Crush All Humanz: ....*jerks a finger annoyedly
at the captive* That one not included.
JeffyTehHuman: S-sorry...*wince, damn, did it again*
F-four?
Crush All Humanz: Blackout tried to help one night.
*eyeroll* As much good as that slagger can do.
JeffyTehHuman: .....Blackout?!
JeffyTehHuman: You can't be serious.
Crush All Humanz: Dead serious. Arcee,
you might wanna hear this - he wanted to find you so Scorponok would stop being
emo.
pinkbikerbot07: ::laughter over comm::
Crush All Humanz: ....*smirk* Don't tell him I said
anything.
JeffyTehHuman: ...Scorpy missed
me too?
Crush All Humanz: Of course the slagging drone missed you.
He doesn't get to run amok with anyone else.
JeffyTehHuman: *grins a bit*
djpsychic wave: Let
me go. *whispered*
JeffyTehHuman: *trembles* You'll just try to kill me
again.
Crush All Humanz: *doesn't bother turning his holo at this point - just extends his sensors a bit more*
You're not getting released.
djpsychic wave: Don't
matter. Termination imminent.
Crush All Humanz: *scoffs* If you're lucky.
JeffyTehHuman: *whimpers*
djpsychic wave: Don't
want to see creator. He left me with them.
Crush All Humanz: ......
djpsychic wave: Please...
JeffyTehHuman: Creator? Who?
Crush All Humanz: Megatron.
djpsychic wave: *shower
of sparks*
JeffyTehHuman: He created her?! *covers head, wince* I
can probably fix that...at least until Ratchet or Hook or Arcee
can.
Crush All Humanz: Don't touch her.
Crush All Humanz: And he didn't create her - Sector 7 used
him. Probably as blueprints.
JeffyTehHuman: I think I could help, though...
JeffyTehHuman: Oh. I see...
Crush All Humanz: She doesn't need your help.
djpsychic wave: *really
pitiful whimper*
Crush All Humanz: *to their captive* Name?
JeffyTehHuman: She must have been that project
then...*glances* I know some of how she was built, then...
djpsychic wave: They
call me N.B.E. 1B
JeffyTehHuman: You must have an actual name...*peer*
Crush All Humanz: I didn't ask for what they call you. I
asked for your name.
djpsychic wave: No
name.
Crush All Humanz: Liar.
JeffyTehHuman: *winces at her whimper* Just let me help
her a little bit, Crusher...
djpsychic wave: N.B.E.
1B. Project: Nightbird.
Crush All Humanz: ...........Fine. Get her to stop
sparking everywhere.
JeffyTehHuman: *hesitates a moment, then gestures to Nightbird* Lean over.
djpsychic wave: *tries
to move, but everything hurts*
JeffyTehHuman: *sighs, edges over to her, standing
unsteadily in the seat and leaning over her head, small human fingers quickly
reconnecting and repairing* Crusher she's hurt, kinda bad...
Crush All Humanz: I know.
Crush All Humanz: *isn't even vaguely remorseful* I would
have done worse.
JeffyTehHuman: *sighs* I know. Kinda freaks me out how Arcee was acting though... *repair, repair*
pinkbikerbot07: *snort*
Crush All Humanz: *chuckles* She can hear you, Jeff.
JeffyTehHuman: Oops... *wince* Sorry, Arcee.

Crush All Humanz: *looks at Arcee*
EITHER YOU CAN HELP, OR I CAN TRY TO GET A HOLD OF HOOK. YOUR PICK.
pinkbikerbot07: *grumbles* I'll help.
pinkbikerbot07: *kneels by her, beginning her repairs*
Primus Crusher...*he really had done a number one her, suddenly feels kind of
bad*
Crush All Humanz: *doesn't feel bad in the slightest* I
DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY AT THE TIME.
LordBigMegs: *looks at Crusher, the others*
LordBigMegs: I fail to see why I'm needed....
pinkbikerbot07: Yeah, *grin* don't deny you enjoyed it
though. *working* We gotta get her into the medbay I need replacement parts.
Crush All Humanz: *looks at Megatron* YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
GETS HER. SHE'S A GIFT TO YOU, AFTER ALL.
djpsychic wave: *Sparks
coming out of her head*
pinkbikerbot07: *grumbles, doesn't really want to be
repairing the one who kept trying to kill them all, hefts the mech up on her
shoulder then shoves past Crusher and Megs and goes inside to the medbay*
JeffyTehHuman: *whimpers*
Crush All Humanz: *stares after Arcee*
EITHER SHE'S CHANNELLING HOOK OR ME. IT'S CREEPY.
elitawarrior: *frown* She is acting funny.
LordBigMegs: *growls again*
Crush All Humanz: *hides his wince fairly well,
considering*
pinkbikerbot07: *tosses her unceremoniously onto a med
table, continuing her repairs, grabbing spare parts here and there, replacing
the important wiring, processors, everything Crusher slagged to hell*
LordBigMegs: Does she know anything important? *starts walking
towards the robot*
djpsychic wave: /
/Formatting progress: 25%... 30%....35%.../ /
Crush All Humanz: *follows Megatron quickly, trying to pull up anything he can think of* I WOULD ASSUME SO.
Crush All Humanz: WE DIDN'T GET MUCH OUT OF HER....
*snarls a little* SHE'S RESILIENT, THAT'S FOR SURE.
JeffyTehHuman: *following*
pinkbikerbot07: She wont know much soon. She's
reformatting herself and I don't think I can stop it. *growling, trying to work
as fast as she can*
Crush All Humanz: SHE REFERS TO HERSELF AS N.B.E. 1B.
JeffyTehHuman: Nightbird. *mumbles*
LordBigMegs: *Is at the strange, human made mech, looking down at
her. Optics flicker...almost considering*
Crush All Humanz: *looks to Arcee* DO WE NEED TO GET MORE HELP FOR YOU?
Crush All Humanz: *growling* IF SHE REFORMATS HERSELF, I'M
KILLING HER.
pinkbikerbot07: I don’t know if this is stoppable.
She's in the middle of a reformat. If I stop it, it could corrupt everything,
and she'd be useless anyway.
LordBigMegs: *Glances at Crusher, and puts a foot on Nightbird's chest*
JeffyTehHuman: Don't kill her.
pinkbikerbot07: *shoves Megatron's foot* Stop that.
You're in the way.
pinkbikerbot07: *continues working, ignoring the
others, concentrating on what's in front of her*
LordBigMegs: *Growls at Arcee* Touch me
like that again, and it'll be your head.
LordBigMegs: *isn't joking*
pinkbikerbot07: *growls back* Threaten me again and
I'll disconnect your most sensitive wires.
LordBigMegs: *grabs her by the arm and drags her up, away from Nightbird* No. I don't think so.
pinkbikerbot07: You all are so distracting. *attempting
to stop the reformat*
LordBigMegs: I want to know why fixing her is so important? Get
rid of her.
LordBigMegs: She's been kidnapping, hurting, trying to kill us.
pinkbikerbot07: *growl* We think she's the ghost.
djpsychic wave: / /
35%....33%.....40%......42%...../ /
LordBigMegs: You want that back in the base?
pinkbikerbot07: And she might know important stuff
about S7.
Crush All Humanz: NOT FOR MUCH LONGER, IF YOU DON'T FIX
HER.
pinkbikerbot07: Hey, I was all for killing her.
pinkbikerbot07: You told us to bring her here. *glare*
Didn't he, Crusher?
Crush All Humanz: THAT WAS THE ORDER.
pinkbikerbot07: *throws arms in air* One minute you
want me to fix her, one minute you don’t, will someone please make up
their minds?
LordBigMegs: I didn't say fix her, stupid femme.
LordBigMegs: I said bring her here.
pinkbikerbot07: So bring her here, then let her
reformat? Brilliant.
LordBigMegs: Now seeing her, she's useless.
LordBigMegs: So get rid of her.
JeffyTehHuman: *pacepace*
LordBigMegs: Reformatting probably damaged anything she knows, you
said that.
pinkbikerbot07: *glare* Whatever.

HER. SIR.
pinkbikerbot07: *waiting*
LordBigMegs: *growls again, reaching for Nightbird,
pulling her off the ground*
LordBigMegs: ....Primus. What a cluster fuck this is.
JeffyTehHuman: Don't hurt her! *squeal*
Crush All Humanz: *looks at Jeff warningly*
JeffyTehHuman: *sit, pout*
LordBigMegs: *turns to look at Jeff* Why shouldn't I, human?
djpsychic wave: /
/Error Formatting. Formatting Aborted,/ /
JeffyTehHuman: *says of the only answer he can think of*
Prime will be mad.
Crush All Humanz: *is behind Megatron - totally facepalms*
LordBigMegs: Prime will be angry?
djpsychic wave: /
/Too many errors. System failure imminent/ /
LordBigMegs: What do you know of Prime's mind?
LordBigMegs: *gives Nightbird a hard
squeeze*
LordBigMegs: Call him.
Crush All Humanz: ...SIR?
JeffyTehHuman: He's a good guy. *nodnod*
He wouldn't want her dead. Didn't want you dead afte reverything, right?
LordBigMegs: *steps towards Jeff*
JeffyTehHuman: *backs up*
LordBigMegs: Do it.
JeffyTehHuman: I don't know how to call him. *stare*
pinkbikerbot07: *pace* Give her here, Megatron.
LordBigMegs: *looks at Crusher*
LordBigMegs: Call him.
Crush All Humanz: ....RIGHT.
LordBigMegs: *Glances and Arcee* Why? So
we can fix the enemy? So she can escape?
LordBigMegs: *grip even tighter*
pinkbikerbot07: *shrugs*
LordBigMegs: ...think about all the pain, the suffering you and
the ones you loved suffered at her hands...at S7 hands...
JeffyTehHuman: Think of all the suffering and pain you
put the family members through of the guys from S7. Same thing.
LordBigMegs: *and optics dim even more at Jeff* Their suffering?
What of it? They would never have suffered if they'd left us alone.
JeffyTehHuman: I'm talking about the family members. Not S7 themselves.
JeffyTehHuman: *pacepace* It doesn't matter. Do whatever you want with her.
MisterPrimeToYou: *And enters*
JeffyTehHuman: *pacepacepace*
pinkbikerbot07: *footap* So
can you put her down now?
LordBigMegs: * and just drops her in disgust, onto the floor*
MisterPrimeToYou: What's going on in here? *Frown*
djpsychic wave: *more
sparks, and now a broken arm*
pinkbikerbot07: *sigh, hauls her back up and tosses her
onto the table- even if she wanted to kill the mech earlier the medic in her
fought against itdamn you HOOK*
Crush All Humanz: *looks from Prime to Megatron* YOU ASKED
ME TO CALL HIM. YOU EXPLAIN.
JeffyTehHuman: *pacepacepace*
LordBigMegs: *looks at Prime* They want to keep her alive. I want
to kill her.
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks down* Who is sh-.........*frown*

her.
pinkbikerbot07: *grabbing more spare parts again,
working quickly, ignoring the others*
LordBigMegs: .......
Crush All Humanz: BECAUSE HE ASKED FOR HER.
Crush All Humanz: I CALLED FOR COUNSELING - ARCEE AND I WERE QUITE PREPARED TO TAKE HER OUT.
pinkbikerbot07: *working as quick as possible to stabilize
the drone*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks at Jeffrey, assuming he's the 'he'*
JeffyTehHuman: It wasnt me!
Crush All Humanz: *points to Megatron*
JeffyTehHuman: *points to Megatron* He told us to bring
her here!
Crush All Humanz: THAT HE.
MisterPrimeToYou: *And to Megatron*
MisterPrimeToYou: ...I think we should start at the beginning.
LordBigMegs: I asked for them to bring her here, thinking perhaps
she might know more about S7.
LordBigMegs: When I saw her, I was told if we stopped her
reformatting, it would probably wipe her harddrive...so,
logic says to just kill her.
LordBigMegs: *shrugs*
pinkbikerbot07: *still working, hands moving fast to
stop the system failure, grabbing at wiring and other parts* She stopped the
reformat, you took her away before I could finish. *grumbling*
Crush All Humanz: ......*winces slightly* SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO SEE MEGATRON. REQUESTED TERMINATION OR RELEASE WHILE WE WERE IN TRANSIT.
LordBigMegs: .....I'm sorry. Not gifted with the power of mind
reading.
LordBigMegs: .....
pinkbikerbot07: *no response, workworkwork*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Silent...then, moves over to Arcee*
Do you need help strapping her down? I don't want her reactivating and injuring
anyone - including herself.
pinkbikerbot07: I think that would be wise.
pinkbikerbot07: Cause once I finish, she should boot
back up.
LordBigMegs: *just shakes his head*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Helps with the restraints*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Speaking to everyone* She is sentient, is she not?
LordBigMegs: .....
pinkbikerbot07: If you could finish restraining her, I
think I'm almost done. *mumbles, working*
JeffyTehHuman: She talked to us.
LordBigMegs: So were the Quints...
*glaring now*
Crush All Humanz: ....SHE'S VERY MUCH AWARE OF EVERYTHING.
LordBigMegs: So were the S7 fools who hurt us.
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks up, optics narrowing to slits as he
practically spits the next few words* The Quintessons
were infringing on our right to exist.
LordBigMegs: Then she knew what she was doing.
LordBigMegs: So was she!
JeffyTehHuman: O.O *edges away*
MisterPrimeToYou: They know nothing but hatred.
Crush All Humanz: *moves to Jeff and reaches down, holding out a hand* LAST THING WE NEED IS YOU GETTING SQUISHED, AFTER ALL OF THIS EFFORT.
MisterPrimeToYou: I am not convinced that she *gestures with head
towards NB* is the same. When she wakes, it'll decide what we do with her.
JeffyTehHuman: *scrambles up, mild cuddle*
LordBigMegs: ......
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks around*
Crush All Humanz: *totally hides a dorky-half grin, snorts and rises back to his full height*
MisterPrimeToYou: Anyone against this?
JeffyTehHuman: *is feel so self satisfied with Prime's
response, hiding in Crusher's hand*
LordBigMegs: I am. But as always, I'll concede to your greater
wisdom. '
LordBigMegs: *backs off, obviously unhappy*
Crush All Humanz: I HAVE NO OPINION IN THE MATTER. DEAD OR ALIVE, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
MisterPrimeToYou: *Blandly* If she's nothing but a threat, then by all
means, deal with her as you see fit.
pinkbikerbot07: No. *continues, then leans back* I
think she's stabilized. *running diagnostics*
LordBigMegs: *just returns a blank look, crossing his arms*
djpsychic wave: *out
of danger and in stasis*
pinkbikerbot07: *nods* Yep. Stabilized, in stasis.
MisterPrimeToYou: Bring her online, if you can.
pinkbikerbot07: *feeling thoroughly disgusted with
herself, begins to attempt to bring her online*
djpsychic wave: *dim
yellow optics turn on as she slowly comes online*
Crush All Humanz: *one look at Arcee's face and he knows how she's feeling, but he stays quiet*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looking down at her stonily*
pinkbikerbot07: *steps back away from the drone, annoyed*
JeffyTehHuman: *peering over the edge of Crusher's hand*
djpsychic wave: *whisper*
Let me go... please...
JeffyTehHuman: *winces*
MisterPrimeToYou: ...
LordBigMegs: *waiting in the back of the room, tense*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Puts a hand on the table, speaking quietly but
firmly* What will you do if we let you go?
djpsychic wave: *tries
to move but finds herself restrained* Whatever keeps me alive. *starts trying
to brake free*
JeffyTehHuman: Staying here would! *pipes up*
JeffyTehHuman: It's kept me alive!
LordBigMegs: Barely *mutters*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Trusts the restraints - they kept him down when he was infected with Nemesis (well, mostly). Ignores Jeff, speaking sharply* Does that include assaulting Cybertronians?
Crush All Humanz: *glares at Jeff* NOT THE TIME, JEFF.
djpsychic wave: *looks
at Jeff and hisses* You should bee dead traitor. *Prime's voice gets her
attention* I have orders.
LordBigMegs: *pushes off the wall and makes his way to the table*
JeffyTehHuman: *sigh, curls*
LordBigMegs: No. You should be dead.
LordBigMegs: You should thank that human, and the femme medic, and
Prime.
LordBigMegs: They are the ONLY reason you are alive now.
LordBigMegs: And even that is still questionable.
djpsychic wave: I
have to follow them, or else, *and she might be lying, but she sounds very
convincing*
LordBigMegs: *looming over her now*
pinkbikerbot07: *growls, doesn't want that thing online
but the medic in her just -had- to insist on helping*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks up at Megatron, optics glowing for a moment...then back at NB* What are your orders, and what happens if they are not followed?
JeffyTehHuman: *sneezes in Crusher's hand*
LordBigMegs: I'll tell you what happens.
Crush All Humanz: *looks at Jeff in aggravation* YOU
BETTER NOT BE GETTING SICK....
djpsychic wave: *ignoring
everyone* Gather information, nothing else. And if I don't, then I will be a
failure. Death is the punishment for failures.
LordBigMegs: I rip open her sparkless
chest and tear out whatever makes her tick.
JeffyTehHuman: S-sorry...*rubs nose* She's right.
*nodding*
MisterPrimeToYou: They will kill you?
LordBigMegs: .....
Crush All Humanz: WOULDN'T THAT REQUIRE A HIGHER-UP?
Crush All Humanz: *curious now*
Crush All Humanz: YOU'RE STILL GETTING ORDERS?
Crush All Humanz: OR ARE THESE DATED MISSION PEROGATIVES?
LordBigMegs: ....
djpsychic wave: *squirming
trying to free herself* Let me go.
LordBigMegs: *puts a hand on her chest and slams her down on the
berth*
LordBigMegs: NO.
JeffyTehHuman: *squirm, stays quiet*
djpsychic wave: *is
offline again*
MisterPrimeToYou: .....well, that went well.
LordBigMegs: ...not as well and I'd have liked.
Crush All Humanz: *groans* SHOULD HAVE JUST KILLED HER, SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED PERMISSION LIKE SOME SLAGGING SPARKLING.
Crush All Humanz: *annoyed at self*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Grunt...turning to look at those in the medbay*
MisterPrimeToYou: There is still the possibility of learning something.
MisterPrimeToYou: *Crosses arms*
LordBigMegs: ....
JeffyTehHuman: *sniff*
MisterPrimeToYou: If she's still afraid of being deactivated...then it means that someone still has that power.
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks at Megatron*
MisterPrimeToYou: ...and that means that there is still some part of S7 that poses a threat.
Crush All Humanz: EITHER THAT, OR SHE DOESN'T KNOW WE
BLEW EVERYONE TO SLAG.
JeffyTehHuman: She probably needs
reprogramming...*thinks* That could work.
LordBigMegs: I suppose it doesn't matter if they can track
her.....they know where we are, anyway....
MisterPrimeToYou: *Shakes head* I'm against reprogramming unless it's a last resort. But then, I'm not entirely certain what she is.
MisterPrimeToYou: She has no Spark?
JeffyTehHuman: She's...she's that project.
Crush All Humanz: *shrugs* WE COULD ALWAYS RIP HER OPEN AND FIND OUT.
MisterPrimeToYou: Funny, Bonecrusher.
LordBigMegs: After seeing her, I doubt there is much in her
processor that could be useful. Probably so many safe guards there.....
MisterPrimeToYou: *Looks at Jeff*
Crush All Humanz: *is serious*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Knows he is*
LordBigMegs: *agrees with Crusher*
MisterPrimeToYou: Did you ever give us what files you had on this
project?
JeffyTehHuman: Soundwave destroyed my computer. But I
think I managed to get a lot of the files off of the hard drive.
JeffyTehHuman: But Soundwave probably gas most of the
ones I couldn't get.
LordBigMegs: Where is Soundwave.
MisterPrimeToYou: I want all files he has for processing. And she is not to be left alone, or released. Is this understood?
MisterPrimeToYou: I want a constant watch.
LordBigMegs: Someone who isn't afraid of doing what needs to be
done.
LordBigMegs: *looks at Bonecrusher*
Crush All Humanz: *innocently* BUT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
DIPLOMATIC NOW.
pinkbikerbot07: Got it. We can take shifts.
Crush All Humanz: *is lying. would so kill her.*
LordBigMegs: Don't test me.
LordBigMegs: ....or I could have Sixshot
do it... *ponders*
MisterPrimeToYou: *Eyes Megatron*
Crush All Humanz: *sighs* FINE. ARCEE AND I CAN WATCH HER.
MisterPrimeToYou: If they end up shooting her before we find anything
else out...
LordBigMegs: I was joking.
LordBigMegs: He's going to Aruba, anyway.
pinkbikerbot07: *nods* Crusher and I'll do it.
LordBigMegs: *looks at Arcee* You can
kill her, if it comes to that?
Crush All Humanz: *snorts*
MisterPrimeToYou: Will you be able to do it yourselves? *Is talking
about the watch, not about killing*
pinkbikerbot07: *even look* Easily.
LordBigMegs: *shrugs*
LordBigMegs: So be it.
pinkbikerbot07: *nods to Prime* We can get Blackout to
help us too.
Crush All Humanz: I'M SURE THE BLENDER WOULD LOVE TO
SPEND TIME WITH HIS COULD-BE GHOST.
LordBigMegs: *shakes head*
JeffyTehHuman: *sleeping in Crusher's hand, his own hand
curled around a finger*
MisterPrimeToYou: Record any conversations with her - even snippets may
give us information. I'll speak with her myself, when I can.
pinkbikerbot07: *nods*
LordBigMegs: .....
Crush All Humanz: RIGHT.
LordBigMegs: Call me only if you need her dead.
Crush All Humanz: .......WON'T NEED YOU FOR THAT.
MisterPrimeToYou: *Grimly* That may yet prove a necessity.
LordBigMegs: *gives Crusher a deadpan look*
Crush All Humanz: *levelly gazes back*
MisterPrimeToYou: If she isn't able to make her own decisions - to break whatever programming - and she still poses a threat, then I won't have her around. In any form.
MisterPrimeToYou: Now. Unless any of you have any other remarks.

important.* GOT NOTHING, PRIME.

JeffyTehHuman: *is content to sleep the night away in
Crusher's hand*
Crush All Humanz: *finds a place to sit and keep an optic on Nightbird*
Crush All Humanz: *resignedly.*
pinkbikerbot07: *grins, heads out*
