October 14th, 2002 ~Slipstream(D), Shockwave(D), Steelwind(A), Solar(D), Omnisaber(U), Blitzwing(D), Darkstorm(D), Novastar(D), Special Operative Datacrack says, "Slipstream reporting in. Shockwave, are you there?" In the Name of Megatron, Shockwave says, "What do you require, Slipstream?" Special Operative Slipstream says, "Commander, during my recent infiltration mission into Iacon (Will epxlain icly and oocly later), I was assisted in my escape by an Autobot renegeade named Steelwind. He wishes to defect (OOC note: Not really) to our noble cause. I request permission to bring him in for questioning and a guard detail." Lieutenant Moonlight says, "Hey...we can't have someone defect until we finish with the other fella who wants in on our happy little family...sorry to butt in by the way." In the Name of Megatron, Shockwave says, "Moonlight, that is enough. Have Steelwind escorted inside and placed within a holding cell by the guards temporarily. I will come and speak with him when he is properly secured. Once his allegiance and desire to defect has been verified, we will see what can be done." Special Operative Slipstream says, "Understood Sir. Slipstream Out" In the Name of Megatron, Shockwave says, "Security forces, be on the alert in case the 'traitor' attempts anything suspicious. Use force only if necessary." Special Operative Slipstream says, "Sir I also request your time to bring you the results of my mission personally. I have found a great deal of information that will interest you." Grav-well says, "Understood, sir." Darkmount - Holding Cell This holding cell is spartan at best. With a narrow resting platform attached to one wall, all it offers is a reminder that one is a prisoner. The walls are remarkably clean as is the floor, but faint scratches can be seen gleaming all around as if someone was marking time. The doorway is shielded from the outside with a glimmering forcefield. Nothing els is present as this is where the prisoners wait, not get interrogated, a dreary room at best. At worst, a tomb. Etching in the Wall Obvious Exits: -O- Out leads to Darkmount - Interrogation Room -Moonlight is lounging around outside the cells, just waiting, a big grin on her face. Her optics glitter eagerly and they can easily be seen because her hat still hasn't been returned to her. -Slipstream walks in with Steelwind following her. "Stay here. Moonlight will be here to keep you company. I must report to the Commander now." -Steelwind sits down wordlessly, though he looks over at Moonlight, and a glint of recognition is momentarily visible in his optics. Special Operative Slipstream says, "Commander. The guest is in the holding cell. I have much news to give to you sir." In the Name of Megatron, Shockwave says, "Very well Slipstream. When the Autobot has been secured, I will be waiting in the Command Center." -Slipstream bows and takes her leave of him. "I will be back to talk with you." She exits the cell and speaks with Moonlight. -Slipstream nods to Moonlight. "Will you watch him? I must speak with our COmmander." Special Operative Slipstream says, "On my way Commander." -Moonlight shrugs. "Sure, why not? I don't have anything better to do right now." -Slipstream bows to her and leaves. -Steelwind sits silently. Am I sane? He glances over at Moonlight again... -Moonlight folds her arms and peers into the cell. "So, what made you change your mind about us?" -Steelwind snorts. "Who said I was one of them to begin with?" He volunteers nothing else, and maintains a neutral expression on his face. A long pause. "By the way," he starts, "I apologize for striking you." Why not? I'll be here for a while... -Moonlight waves a hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it. War's war, right? I don't like it, but I'm not going to take it personally everyone hits me because of this." She pats the Decepticon symbol on her thigh. -Steelwind glances out of the corner of his optics back at his wings, and momentarily feels rather self-conscious about the red face painted there. He nods. "War is indeed war." -Moonlight settles herself against a wall where she has a good view of the occupant of the cell. "Commander Shockwave shouldn't be /too/ long. He isn't known for his small talk after all." -Solar walks in and looks at the prisoner "Your in better shape than the last time I saw ya -Steelwind shrugs. "At least he has a clear, sharp mind. He thinks properly." He glances at the new arrival, face impassive, and simply nods in greeting. -Moonlight chuckles. "If his mind were any sharper he'd cut himself and bleed to death." -Steelwind snorts softly. "Well. I can talk with someone like that, and actually feel like I'm talking to a real, thinking mech, unlike that idiot Magnus." There's no doubt at all he means what he said about Magnus - emotion like that is nigh impossible to fake. -Solar just leans back and listens to the heated arguement, nodding every once in a while -Moonlight grins. "I wouldn't know...I've never had the chance to talk to him really...he /does/ have the habit of smacking me around every time we've come in contact." She glances over at Solar and nods baldly to him. -Steelwind smiles for the first time since he's arrived here. "Consider yourself lucky not to have had to talk to that pile of wreckage...he has the processing capabilities of a bolt." Again, it is very obvious he dislikes Magnus. He looks at Solar. "I must say, you have quite the punch, so to speak." -Solar shrugs "You were just in the wrong place at the right time. Getting Datacrack into Iacon was my only mission objective, although I had to make it look real. Thats why I bombed the both of you on my initial strike" -Steelwind shrugs. "Well, I got Slipstream fixed up in there for yous." -Solar says, "Did she return the favor for you here?" -Moonlight takes her turn to listen...it's not like talking about 'Magnus is such a great topic anyhow... -Steelwind shakes his head. "No, Silentlight fixed me up. One of the few 'Bots I can stand, to be honest. She did return the favour, however, by bringing me here." He glances at Moonlight, then turns back to Solar -Solar nods once "So what are your mission objectives?" -Steelwind he makes a curious face. "You mean why I'm here?" -Solar nods once but remains silent. -Steelwind shrugs. "Well...I can't stand the 'Bots. Idiots, all of them." He pauses to collect his thoughts.. -Solar says, "And so you feel justified in going the entire opposite way? Why not just quit? The Autobots wouldn't come after you?" -Steelwind snorts. "Well, obviously you don't know them like I do. They would have come after me. I know too much for them to let me loose." -Solar says, "I know many of them better than you. Rule 1 for the Autobots and one of Optimus Prime's favorite sayings is 'Freedom is the right of all sentient beings'. They wouldn't have come after you. Magnus respects freedom, he is after all a soldier" -Steelwind snorts again. "Magnus is an idiot, and he doesn't care about anything." He shakes his head. "He would have let "Datacrack" rust away and be hunted down - this was before I figured out she was a Decepticon. I was the one who said we should help her." He stops when he notices Slipstream arrive... -Slipstream steps into the holding area and heads straight for Steelwind. "I have spoken with our Commander Shockwave. Unfortunately you are to remain here with a guard until he speaks with you. He will check out your story personally." She gives him a semi-smile. "However once he is confident of your allegiance, you will find it most...comforting here." She pauses and looks at Solar. "I am pleased to see you again Solar." -Moonlight nods once in greeting to Slipstream. -Steelwind listens to Slipstream speak, then nods. "Thank you." -Solar says, "Sorry about the carpet bombing yestercycle. At least I see it did some good. Oh here are the items you dropped next to the carcas I had your datarecorder repaired. Sometime soon I want you to lead me to that city" Solar hands over the pouch and then turns back to regard Steelwind "And you call Magnus an idiot? You should have let her 'rust and be hunted down' Its SOP" -Steelwind shrugs. "Magnus would have done so even if she turned out to be telling the truth. And he calls himself compassionate." Hu snorts again. "I helped her, even after I figured out she wasn't what she said, because I saw my chance to get the smelter away from the Bots." He shrugs. "As I said to Magnus, there's a reason why I was an intelligence officer, and he's not..." He glances at Slipstream momentarily. -Moonlight doesn't contribute much to the conversation at this point. She seems perfectly content to just listen right now." ================================= Decepticon ================================= Message: 10/7 Posted Author Recent Intel Mission Mon Oct 14 Slipstream ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ With Commander Enfilade's permission I infiltrated the tunnels near the T'Kara Production Company where I met Ultra Magnus and Autobot Intel Agent Steelwind. Pretending to be a helpless female, they took me into their fold. Steelwind showed me their underground city named Arcadia. All information has been given to Commander Shockwave about this place. I also discovered his hidden residence underground. A team should follow me there to collect his items for inspection later by Intel forces. Steelwind is under guard in the holding cell on level 5. While he did help me escape from Iacon, please do not speak to him carelessly. He is like me after all. I do request that all communications between Omnisaber and Steelwind be monitored crefully. They tried to set up a meeting the first day of my mission. It might prove informative to have them converse often. Any other questions can be directed to me via the normal channels. ============================================================================== -Steelwind looks at Solar again..."by the way, if you want, I'll take you to Arcadia myself...though I'd recommend against it for a while..." -Slipstream shakes her head. "Solar, I need to speak with you for a moment." She gestures to a corner away from teh cell. -Solar says, "Being overly cautious is possible the best stance for one in command. And you have the wrong idea about me and Arcadia. I am an asteroid miner and the gemstones there are exquisite. I'm looking for a business deal" and he turns to follow Slipstream" After you" -Moonlight watches Solar and Slipstream wander to a corner without much interest. She turns back to the 'guest'. "You like danger or something fella?" -Steelwind watches the two leave, then looks at Moonlight. "Danger? Heh. Not especially, though it can be...fun...now and then." A smile. "Why do you ask?" -Moonlight taps the wall of the cell. "Being held in a Decepticon prison doesn't strike me as the safest place to be. I certainly wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now." She shakes her head with a grin. -Steelwind shrugs. "I've been in dangerouser places before. 'Sides, I wanted to come here." -Moonlight looks around. "I hope you don't mean the cell specifically." She chuckles. "I might be a Decepticon, but I refuse to compliment the decor of the holding cells." -Steelwind laughs. "No, not the cell specifically...Darkmount in general." -Moonlight nods. "Even then, it's not the most cheery place. I love many of the Cons like family, but that doesn't mean I can't see how grim this place, and some of the occupants, is." -Solar transmits: 'At your earliest convenience backup the entire Darkmount mainframe into the Dead End one'. -Steelwind shakes his head slowly. "Unfortunately I've hitherto only met any of the Decepticons on the battlefield...but I'd venture to say they're more worth the energon they consume than most of the 'Bots..." -You transmit 'Don't want a repeat of the last time we had a 'Bot' in residence?' to Solar. -Moonlight shrugs. "Maybe, maybe not. But if you dislike them so much, why were you one in the first place? And if you were created as one, what took you so long to make up your mind to go against them?" -Solar transmits: 'exactly. I am going to set up temporary computer security'. Special Operative Slipstream says, "Commander. Solar and I are going to Steelwind's residence to claim any items of interest. We will return with these and a report shortly." Lieutenant Moonlight says, "Sure thing. Should I stay put and keep an optic on him for the time being?" Special Operative Slipstream says, "Please do so. And keep him talking. Find out what you can about Arcadia and their plans for it." Lieutenant Moonlight says, "Want me to be subtle or get more direct?" Solar says, "be subtle. give him a bottle of my pure grade and slip in a nanostrainer" -Steelwind considers his words for a while before speaking. "Well I was unaffiliated before, when something happened. Considering my options, I determined that the best way to avenge what happened, was if I joined with the Autobots - for that purpose, it was the best course of action. Though I never liked them then either." A short pause. "Even when I was neutral, and running errands for whoever would pay, I mostly worked for Decepticons..." -Moonlight nods her head. "What is Arcadia? I've been to most planets in the area, and that one doesn't ring a bell." -Steelwind smiles vaguely..."It's not a planet. It's an underground city near Iacon." -Moonlight's optics light up. "/That/ might be why I never heard of it. Is it a nice place?" Lieutenant Moonlight says, "Let me try my own methods first. You can always tinker with your high grade and your gagets later." -Steelwind nods. "It's beautiful. Crystals and gems everywhere...and hardly anyone knows about it..." -Moonlight chuckles. "Gems are rather nice. I've smuggled a fair ammount of them over my career. Must be quite the site though. How long before the masses of the city strip it down?" -Steelwind looks curiously at Moonlight. "Masses of what city? There's nobody living there..." He stops to think a moment, then shrugs. Not my concern... -Omnisaber walks into the holding cell area flanked by two somewhat large 'Con mech guards. They stay near the door as Omni, a huge grin upon his face, makes his way over to where Moonlight seems to be standing in front of some cell. -Solar walks in holding a small dog, that may be familiar to one of its occupants. -Moonlight blinks her optics. "A city with no people. How interesting or nice can that be?" -Steelwind answers Moonlight. "Quite nice, if one wants to get away from a million 'Bots all around one..." He notices Solar walk in carrying Chaser...he doesn't move, but a flash is in his optics and he says quietly..."Chaser..." -Moonlight eyes the dog. "Gee Solar, I didn't know you liked animals." -Solar drops the dog "Chaser huh? Animals seem to like me. See how well I get along with Whiplash? And have I ever told you about Brawl and Fluffy?" -Steelwind shrugs. "Hunting dog. Good tracker." Slag. Though it figures. Slag. Steelwind sits expressionlessly, apart from momentarily glancing and smiling at his dog. -Moonlight shakes her head. "Last time I checked Whiplash was a person, and I've heard that Brawl is a tank...I've never met the mech personally though." She turns to look at Omnisaber and grins broadly, awarding him with a wink as well. "How's my favorite Swordsmech?" -Solar walks over and shuts down the forcefield allowing the dog into the cell before rearming it. -Omnisaber finally gets within view of the cell, having heard the familiar voice and grimacing inwardly on the way over, but continuing with some semblance of a smile as he addresses Moonlight's query. "Quite well to hear that I'd be your favourite swordsmech...and how is my favourite femme smuggler doing?" -Steelwind watches the dog run over to him and rubs him between the ears, not looking up to see Omnisaber... -Moonlight half-smiles. "Oh, I'm on mechsitting duty again...it seems it's the only thing I'm good to the Empire for." She nods her head to indicate Steelwind. "I think it won't be long before I have to move out on my own with the ammount of half-Cons they're putting under my watchful optics." -Omnisaber raises an optic ridge, only giving Steelwind a passing glance before staring Moonlight straight in the optics, his smile quickly fading, "What do you mean by him being a half-'Con? Explain?" -Steelwind notices Omnisaber finally. All he says is, "You." -Moonlight gets a mock-motherly look on her face. "Now boys, be nice. You might end up on the same side after all..." -Omnisaber says, "...Is this some sort of joke? I mean, I've had some interesting pranks pulled on me before, but this is too much. You people can't honestly be serious..." -Steelwind snorts upon hearing Omnisaber speak. He starts to say something, but cuts it off and remains silent. -Solar does nothing but watch. -Moonlight just throws back her head and laughs, long and hard. "You two are rather amusing." She turns to Solar. "We should keep them both just for laughs." Special Operative Slipstream says, "Where is Omnisaber now?" Lieutenant Moonlight says, "With us." Solar says, "Holding cells, seems theres animosity between the 2 newcomers" Special Operative Slipstream says, "Understood. That will work in our favor however do not be so easily fooled. I personally overheard them try to make plans to meet one another." -Omnisaber smirks softly, "Yes, quite amusing...however you won't be keeping 'both'. If your intention is to keep him around, I'd like to speak to command, or someone of authority...even briefly in private with you Solar. Soon, please." -Solar nods back at the interrogation room "In there." -Omnisaber nods softly, smiling to both Moonlight and Steelwind before spinning around and heading for the interrogation room. -Moonlight holds one of her sides. "Oh, this is too much." Slowly she calms down. "Just out of curiosity, was it my fault that you guys hate each other so much?" -Steelwind pauses and stares blankly for a moment. "Well." Another pause. "Yes. I guess it was." ================================= Decepticon ================================= Message: 10/9 Posted Author Burrow Mon Oct 14 Slipstream ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solar and myself traveled to the burrow where Steelwind resided underground. The contents are being sent to Intelligence. *encoded for Intel or Command Personnel only*The contents are as follows: A dog Pre-war Business Contracts Hunting and War Trophies A strategy game was set up but not taken from his place. Slipstream ============================================================================== -Moonlight nods her head. "That is kind of sad in a way..." Solar says, "I want those contracts Slipstream" -The door opens...and in walks Bad Bad Leroy Brown. Well Close...Just a mean ass lookin tank. -Steelwind shrugs, but doesn't say anything. What can he say to that comment? Special Operative Slipstream says, "They are in the commmand center under security lock." Special Operative Slipstream says, "Where is the dog?" -Moonlight seems about to say something, but then looks up to see who it is. When she identifies it as Blitzwing she pushes away from the wall and walks straight to him. Solar says, "in the cell with Steelwind. Did you expect me to carry the fraggin thing?" Special Operative Slipstream says, "Did you scan it first?" Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Whats all the noise!" Solar says, "Of course" Special Operative Slipstream says, "we brought back Steelwind, An Autobot Intel Op who wishes to defect. reports have been filed so catch up on them." -Moonlight mutters to Blitzwing: "Are ... ... ... ... ... ... ... the ... ..." ((Are you feeling any better? I'm sorry about the other cycle.)) Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Defect!" Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Another one.. didn't we learn enough with past things like this.." 2nd Lieutenant Blitzwing says, "Permission to extract some information from said 'Defector' ?" Special Operative Slipstream says, "Shockwave has given his orders that he is to be watched and not harmed nor released from his cell until the Commander himself speaks with him." Special Operative Slipstream says, "Denied." Novastar says, "Wishes to defect? What kind of idi- this thing's on? *click*" 2nd Lieutenant Blitzwing says, "Shux...this coulda been fun..." Special Operative Slipstream says, "we are to be...warm and fuzzy...but watchful. Mind how he interacts with Omnisaber." -Slipstream stands near the doorway saying nothing but filing her various reports. Lieutenant Moonlight says, "Warm and fuzzy is right up my alley...either that or just lauging at everyone..." Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Well by the way.. give him a few enerbeers and make his stay compfy.. (mumble from behind hand...fools)" Solar says, "Actually Slipstream Omnisaber wnats permission to leave Darkmount for the time that Steelwind is here" -Steelwind glances up at Slipstream..."Um, Slipstream?" A pause. "Could I get a bucket of paint thinner or something?" -Moonlight chuckles and looks over her shoulder at Steelwind. "You're causing quite the stir." Then she turns back to Blitzwing, her optics concerned. Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Solar" 2nd Lieutenant Blitzwing says, "I want permission to beat him into admitting his scheme...Alas I seem to be overruled." Special Operative Slipstream says, "*snorts* we are to take turns standing guard. His home has been detailed and cleaned of any pertinent objects. As to Omnisaber, that is firmly denied. There is something between them and I mean to find out what it is." Novastar says, "I've seen them trying to kill each other, if that helps..." Special Operative Slipstream says, "Shockwave wishes to know" -Blitzwing whispers to the femme, fore siting down in a chair and glaring at Steelwind. "What in the name of primus brings you here?" Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Solar could you meet me in the command center...alone.." Special Operative Slipstream says, "I have personally heard them consorting with one another over the radio. Has his radio been deactivated yet?" Solar says, "I'm in the middle of something Darkstorm"(( I'm Okay. I Appreciate your concern.")) Special Operative Slipstream says, "If this concerns the prisoner, I wish to know as well. I have been working this mission." -Steelwind looks at Blitzwing now, and half-smiles. "My own free will...well, that and the assistance of Slipstream there." Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Check for homing transmitters" Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Are you talking to me Slip?" -Slipstream smiles and says nothing still but keeps a watchful optic on everything and everyone. Special Operative Slipstream says, "Yes my comment was directed at you Darkstorm. we are still compiling the Intelr eports and any stray infromation may help us find out the truth." -Moonlight nods her head to Blitzwing and mumbles something else to him before heading back to the 'guest'. Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "This does not concern you!" Special Operative Slipstream replies in a decidely cool tone of voice. "Very well." Solar says, "Slipstream you do not have the authority to deny me anything, Remember that" -Moonlight mutters to Blitzwing: "... talk ... ... later ... ... ... worried ... but Omnisaber said ... ... ... me about ... yourself..." Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "...static..." Special Operative Slipstream says, "You may be the temp head of Intel Solar but I am in charge of this mission from our XO herself." Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "Uh Solar.." -Steelwind plays with his dog while Blitzwing and Moonlight converse in the corridor... -Blitzwing drops his sword on the table offering the handle to Steelwind. "Outta curiousity pal, dont you wish to slice me in half, I mean after I beat you bloody so many times?" -Slipstream steps into the cell. "How are you being treated Steelwind?" She gives the dog an odd look. "Does he have a name?" Solar says, "Your mission ended when you returned to Darkmount with Steelwind. Even if I was not temp head of intel I am still in charge on internal affairs." Imperial Warrior Novastar says, "Does this forcefield casue visual distortion effects? Did we let the prisoner keep an animal?" Lieutenant Moonlight says, "And people wonder why I don't ever want any rank to speak of." 2nd Lieutenant Blitzwing says, "I think my rank is in the negatives somewhere." -Steelwind laughs at Blitzwing's comment. "Business is business and it's nothing personal." Turning to Slipstream, he says, "Well apart from that paint thinner, I have no complaints." A smile. "His name's Chaser. Hunter-tracker." Special Operative Slipstream snorts. "As you wish then..." *her radio goes off* 2nd Lieutenant Blitzwing says, "Where was he picked up?" -Moonlight leans back against a wall and peers at Steelwind. "Weren't you and Omni friends before he decided to defend me against you?" Imperial Warrior Novastar says, "Blitzwing-the catacombs, there's some mission logs on the network. I'm serious about this- Did we let an intel officer keep any sort of equipment?" -Slipstream nods her head at Steelwind. "I think I should have another look at the tunnels. It may prove beneficial." She seems extremely...irritated to say the least. She drops off her datafile into a slot for filing later and stomps out of the area. 2nd Lieutenant Blitzwing says, "I hope you all did a good search of the perimeter before bring him in." Solar says, "The animal was scanned before I alloweed him into the cell. and anything the animal would carry wouldn't be able to help the mech anyways. We've ordered a full time guard" -Steelwind ventilates slightly. "No, that's when I first met him. I got to know him afterwards, and as far as I'm concerned I still consider him a friend. Though after Magnus issued his decree as regards Omni, I had to do something like attack him...appearances, you know..." He looks at Slipstream and watches her leave. Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "I hope its not a rat" Imperial Warrior Novastar says, "*laughs nervously* Darkstorm may have a point. If not that, if he's cold-hearted enough, he might be able to create a small firebomb out of that thing." Aerial Strategist Darkstorm says, "If it would be Filly wouldn't be too pleased" -Moonlight fehs. "Appearances are just a pain as far as I'm concerned...on Monacus I didn't have to worry about them, but now they are a part of survival." -Blitzwing sheaths his sword. He grumbles to Steelwind. Then smiles to Moonlight, bowing politely. "Allow me to take a brief leave, I trust you have /this/ under control." He pets the dog and leaves. -Blitzwing mutters to Steelwind: "... had ... dump her or be ... You ... no ... how ... ... pained ..." -Novastar walks in to help take a guard shift, what with Blitzy and all leaving. -Moonlight nods to Novastar from where she's leaning against the wall. -Omnisaber walks back into the holding cell area, a small smile upon his lips. -Novastar is standing near the cell, arms folded, legs in a loose ready stance. He occasionally looks at the dog like he's expecting it to blow up. -Steelwind plays with the dog, pretending to throw something at the wall, and the dog starts after it until it realises there was nothing thrown. -Omnisaber says, "My apologies for leaving so abruptly earlier...had some 'business' to take care of." -Novastar winces visibly at Steelwind playing fetch, and he starts to summon his rifle before thinking of something and halting the aciton -Moonlight shrugs at Omnisaber. "It's a come and go sort of day...though I'm beginning to think I should set up camp here...I have a feeling I'm going to be here for a while." -Omnisaber says, "That's a real shame...I'm beginning to think I'll be taking a short visit to Tarn later this cycle..." -Omnisaber mutters to Novastar: "... like to ... to ... ... little later ... a few...things." -Novastar doesn't take his eyes off the cell, but he nods, once. -Steelwind grins inwardly seeing Novastar's reaction to his playing with his dog. That put's you on edge? Heh. Good. He keeps playing with the dog. You hurt me, it's your aft. "Yeah, I agree," he says to Moonlight. "Appearances are an annoying thing to have to maintain..." -Omnisaber says, "Appearances are a falsehood. They mean nothing. Mere illusory tactics. The real annoyance is in finding the truth beneath them." -Steelwind looks at Omnisaber hard for a moment, then nods. "You're right, you know." -Omnisaber glares over at Steelwind, crimson optics burning through the energy field holding Steelwind, "I usually am right. Comes with experience." -Novastar is watching the cell and Steelwind playing with his pet a bit nervously. -Steelwind snorts. "You're a quick learner for such a young one..." The comment contains a small amount of Muriatic acid. Imperial Warrior Novastar says, "Somewhere with close quarters. He's a melee fighter, first and foremost." -Blitzwing walks back in, smiling. He has a cooler of Enerbeers with him, tossing each of the occupants of the room one. -Omnisaber catches the Enerbeer tossed at him gracefully behind his back, not even looking over at Blitzwing, promptly tossing it back to him, "No thanks Blitz." Imperial Warrior Novastar says, "Sir, I'm not sure you've ever seen him fight.. he's got stun weaponry." -Moonlight deftly catches the enerbeer. "Thanks Blitz. Remind me to be nicer to you from now on." -Novastar grabs the enerbeer from Blitzwing, "Thanks, Blitzwing, that's a couple I owe you now." Solar says, "Omnisaber is not a prisoner of the empire, right now he is here for a reason. If we just keep him locked up the Autobots could easily crucify us." Lieutenant Moonlight says, "I don't think there's anything wrong with him...then again, I'm rather biased towards people who save my life." -Omnisaber shakes his head and sighs, "If you all will excuse me then. I think it's time for me to leave. Seems my opressors have granted me a short visit to Tarn as opposed to the boredom of Darkmount, and since nothing is going on here that I'd like to be a part of, I think I'll take them up on that offer. So again, excuse me. -Blitzwing looks to Steelwind. "What brought about your epiphany?" Cue beer chugging. -Novastar steps back a little to talk better with Omnisaber, "I'd like to come with you, but I think my talents are better used here right now..." -Solar walks in and leans against the wall watching -Moonlight looks over at Omnisaber. "I'd also like to come, but I think I should stick it out here for the time being..." -Steelwind is basically ignoring everyone now and plays with his dog. -Novastar mutters to Moonlight: "PLEASE ... ... ... ... ... out ... ... You saw ... ... with ... last ... ... ... in here." (("PLEASE let me take the dog out of here. You saw what happened with the last animal we bruoght in here.")) -Omnisaber turns to Novastar, "Don't worry...we'll be talking soon enough" then turning to Moonlight, "I appreciate the sentiment..." before turning to Solar, and smiling casually stating, "So Solar, looks like I'm ready for a short tour of Tarn." -Moonlight glances at Novastar and shrugs. "It's out of my hands." -Novastar grimaces, clutching his hands into fists... -Solar nods and straightens his axe in the sling on his back, "Anymech else want to come along?" -Novastar shakes his head, "Not really... I don't feel comfortable being Omnisaber's warden." -Moonlight stretches out. "I think I'll take a quick walk before I have to settle down for the long haul."
