-Enfilade says, "Omnisaber, c'mere and meet Starfire. Starfire, Omnisaber."
-Novastar checks a few chairs before finding one that fits his wing-kibble, and sitting down, sipping something probably a few grades down from the usual energon cube.
-Omnisaber walks over to Enfilade and Starfire, bowing fully and Starfire and smiling, one arm behind his back the other in front of his chest plate in a sweeping motion, "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Starfire."
-Starfire drops her gaze briefly, a bit uncomfortable at the attention, then straightens up and gives him a semi-formal half bow, the one in the Decepticon Protocol manual for when you're uncertain of the other's rank. "Hello, Omnisaber." No Decepticon symbol, but no harm in taking precautions.
-Solar says, "So what kind of silly type conversation should we start up today Omni, your the best at it"
-Enfilade says, "Omni's getting inducted in a couple days. Poor mech," she adds with a wink.
-Moonlight seems oblivious to such thinks as rank and protocal as she makes herself comfortable. "Now, isn't this nice and cozy? I hope everyone's comfy."
-Omnisaber rises up, smiling, "Yes, hello hello." turning to Enfilade, "So, what's the occaision?" turning then to Solar, "Silly type conversation is my specialty? Since when?"
-Enfilade shrugs to Omnisaber. "Nothin' really, just introducin' you to a ...friend of sorts." She treats the younger femme like some little cousin of hers, though they are no known relation.
-Novastar throws a glance at Omnisaber, shrugs, and turns back to his drink for a moment. "So, what does everyone think of our most recent transfer?"
-Omnisaber smirks and nods, "Fair enough then, and a pleasure all the same...though not sure how being 'inducted' soon makes me a poor mech...OH WELL."
-Enfilade quips, "Four words, Omni... "red hot branding irons."
-Solar says, "Well lets seethere was the time we were talking about Elita.." Solar stops there and looks to Enfilade "Perhaps not in mixed company huh Omni?"
-Starfire remembers her icee and takes a sip. Not that it's strong or anything, but it looks really sophisticated to sip a drink, doesn't it? "Welcome to the Empire, I guess." She blinks at Enfilade at the mention of red hot branding irons... "Really?" she murmurs to the other femme.
-Omnisaber grins at Solar and nods, "Yes well, the Elita conversation would probably be best not to be repeated, unless we could somehow capture her and confirm our suspicions...let's leave it at that."
-Enfilade nods to Starfire. "That's a big thing for those with no Decepticon background. Trial by fire an' all that. Makes 'em ask how bad they want it."
-Novastar calls out, "Relax, Omni! We've got a great medbay."
-Solar says, "Well now that is a mission that I think I could enjoy Omni"
-Omnisaber chuckles softly, "Which part Solar, the capturing, the torturing, or the forcing her to re-enact our suspicions on holo-film to be broadcast all over Cybertron?"
-Moonlight ignores the current conversations and orders herself and enerwine.
-Solar says, "Any and all of it"
-Novastar looks suddenly queasy, and focuses on Moonlight, "So, what's happening off the front lines lately?" he says with forced cheer.
-Omnisaber smirks and nods, "Well, who knows, maybe some cycle you'll get your chance Solar. Maybe some cycle."
-Moonlight shrugs. "Not much as far as I know. This planet doesn't exactly make for exciting non-violent gossip most of the time."
-Solar nods "Sounds like fun, its something we'll definately want to try to do."
-Novastar chuckles, "Okay, it wasn't that bright a conversation. Still, anything happening with the citzenry? I haven't even managed to eat lunch in Polyhex for the last few cycles, things have been hectic."
-Omnisaber nods, "Definately...SO, what else is going on here?"
-Enfilade says, "Arcadia was a bust. That place ain't worth our effort ot take it."
-Novastar grumbles slightly and clenches the mug a bit tighter in his hand at Enfilade's comment...
-Moonlight claps her hand on Novastar's back. "You need to relax my friend." She grins at him.
-Solar says, "Well not to stete the obvious here, but Enfilade is talking to Starfire, Moonlight is ignoring us, and it looks like Novastar is gonna be ill"
-Novastar looks very irritated as he glances at Moonlight, "You hear about Arcadia at all, Moonlight?"
-Omnisaber merely smiles, looking about at the various people in the room, "Ahhh...would make sense...oddly."
-Moonlight wiggles her hand. "Only what was on the official report. I know that lots of people came back rather sore afterwards."
-Enfilade glances over at Novastar. "What's up? Frankly, the place is a great target but the Bots have the advantage in those tunnels."
-Starfire fidgets a bit at the turn the conversation is taking. Sounds almost like classified Imperioal stuff, and she shouldn't be hearing it... She takes a less-sophisticated gulp of her icee, wondering how she can surreptiously edge off without offending anyone.
-Enfilade says, "We can't afford the massive casualties it would cost to take the place." Then the Field Commander looks over at Starfire. "Starfire, you might as well get used to this if you're gonna keep hangin' around me." A squinty-grin.
-Moonlight glances at Starfire then back to Novastar. "Seems like you're not the only one who needs to relax. I think this whole planet should just stop and relax for a few years on end. Would do everyone good."
-Novastar puts down the mug, "Oh, I agree we've got better targets than that, it's just I didn't like going through that ambush... My ears are still ringing a bit from those sonics of Swivels..."
-Tracker steps into the Wild Surge. Having been here once before she quickly looks for her compatriots in the bustle and in of this hellhole.
-Moonlight doesn't bother frowning. She's not really upset at Swivel anymore. "I understand that part completely Nova...she's a nasty little fighter when she tries..."
-Tracker walks over tot hem and takes a seat. She waves off the waitstaff and decides to not drink. She must always be prepared. The enmy could strike at any nanosecond.
-Starfire shrugs and says quietly, "As long as you understand that someone else will hear what I hear, ma'am, but I think you do."
-Novastar sighs slightly, "Well, it was a bit confusing at the time. A very dirty Autobot fighter... and it turned out to be one who, from what I heard, is practically a non-combatant. Imagine my surprise at seeing her with a group that was pretty much the Autobot Wrecking Squad."
-Enfilade Raises an optic ridge at Starfire. "So you /are/ still in touch with him. How the frag is he? I ain't seen him in ferever."
-Tracker listens to the conversation. Her optics take in who is talking to whom. She props her feet up on a chair.
-Solar doesn't say much of anything as he watched the various conversations
-Moonlight nods her head at Novastar. "Strangely enough she's the only Bot that /really/ worries me." Then she turns to Omnisaber and leans towards him.
Moonlight mutters to Omnisaber: " ... our ... ... ... Steel ... ... a ... ... have you changed ... mind ..."((So, is our trip to the Steel Fields still a date?  Or have you changed your mind already?))
-Starfire nods slowly. "Of course I am. They're the only reason I hang around Cybertron any more instead of going off to find a nice planet. He's fine, thank you."
-Novastar's visor flashes in a blink, and asks in a very sharp tone, "Why? She..., well, unstable?"
-Omnisaber mutters to Moonlight: "Did you just say ... And  when I say I'm ... to do something I ... ... We can ... any time ... like."(("Did you just say date? And no, when I say I'm going to do something, I follow through. We can go any time you'd like."))
-Enfilade murmurs, "Tell him I'd like to see him."
-Starfire arches a brow and giggles suddenly. "Gotten over being mad at him?"
-Moonlight nods her head at Omnisaber. "You heard what I said, though you can interpret it however you like." She turns back to Novastar. "Because she's manipulative, that's why."
-Solar says, "And I thought I knew everything"
-Omnisaber mutters to Moonlight: "... not ... to ... ... from ... All the  ... ... ... know whenever you ... ... ... ... ..."(("I'm not one to interpret meanings from things. All the same, you let me know whenever you want to go see it."))
-Novastar winces and takes a quick pull from his drink. "Well, you win. That's probably worse. What exactly do you mean? I've got a friend I should mention this to."
-Tracker looks interested in what Moonlight has to say. Who could be this manipulator?
-Moonlight hmphs. "She's so busy being friendly that people ignore her as a threat...not that she is one by herself, but when the other Bots show up, who knows what's going to happen." She shakes her head. Then turns back to Omnisaber with a grin, "How ... are ... ... this little ... ... ... ... right ..."((How interested are you in this little get together we're having right now?))
-Novastar actually sighs in relief and laughs, "Oh, that? I've known that for a while. She's a scout... her whole point is to make other people dangerous... I thought she was some sort of mind-controller or something on the side..."
-Omnisaber smirks and looks around, turning to Moonlight.
-Omnisaber mutters to Moonlight: "... ... Not overly ... things ... change. ... ... busy ... ... ... conversations."((All depends. Not overly, but things could change. Everyone is busy with their own conversations."))
-Moonlight shakes her head at Novastar. "She's a femme. That's all she needed to get bast B's defenses, or so it seems. It doesn't hurt that she's not very big or impressive looking." Then she stands up. "Want to do it now Omni?"
-Solar says, "Has she gotten back in with the Autoboty heirarchy then? I understand she isn't well liked."
-Tracker just continues to listen to everything.
-Omnisaber optics flicker a bit at Moonlight's question, "Umm...now? Sure...I don't see why not. But it would be fairly rude to just leave all these people and not come back at some point."
-Novastar shrugs, "I have no idea Solar, but she was with the ambush squad, for whatever that's worth," he mentions. He looks at Moonlight for a moment, and says quietly, "I'm going to assume I heard that wrong and move on..." Louder, he says, "Well, at least he was smart enough to keep the meetings away from our lines..
-Moonlight glances at everyone. "Does anyone mind if we skip out for a bit?"
-Solar shakes his head "Take your time, but remember Omnisaber has a curfew"
-Novastar shrugs, looks at Omnisaber with a bit of amusement, and goes back to drinking. Evidently he DID hear that right.
-Tracker shrugs her shoulders and waves them off making a mental note to inquire about it later.
-Moonlight looks at Solar. "I'll keep my optics on him, don't worry."
-Omnisaber merely shrugs and smiles - going to be a long cycle...
-Solar says, "Then off ya go kidlets"
-Moonlight notes that there are no objections and heads for the door.

Steel Fields <West>

     The light dances along the broken and marred surface of the steel fields. This old place has been mined and tunneled extensively for countless years. Simple ores were in abundance at one time here, and evidence of long-abandoned mining efforts litter the landscape.
     A small town, Caetobrix, exists here. This area was once known for the breweries that made most of the drinks later made famous by the bars on Cybertron. Some of these facilities still exist, though are mainly used by the citizens to make a small, indistinguishable amount of energon for trade or consumption for survival.


Omnisaber [Robot] [U]

Obvious Exits:
 -U- Up leads to Sky Above Steel Fields
 -W- West leads to Great Gouge <East>
 -S- South leads to Cybertron South Pole
 -E- East leads to Steel Fields <East>
 -N1- North1 leads to Freelorn Flats

-Moonlight walks into the small town known as Caetobrix. "Well, here we are."
-Omnisaber smiles softly and nods, "It's....different."
-Moonlight grins. "It's not much, but that's why I like it." She heads towards some of the breweries. "I've been nosing around here quite a bit since I got to Cybertron..."
-Omnisaber says, "Tell me more..."
-Moonlight shrugs. "Not much to tell. I don't want to brag, but I think I have a bit more vision than some people on this planet. I don't want my role as a Decepticon be my only identity. So, I've been looking for an outside job, so to speak, and I fell in love with this little town."
-Omnisaber smirks softly, "And why exactly is that if I can ask?"
-Moonlight smiles. "Because I rarely ever saw factionals come this way. It's not as fancy as Crystal City, and not as desperate as Dead End. And it's dedicated to making drinks, which is always a plus. I figure it's a good place to base a business out of. And I know for a fact there's a few people that would be willing to sell their business for the right price."
-Omnisaber smiles and nods softly, "Why not just buy the whole city then? Might be a more worthwhile investment...could set up some nice housing as well...a number of things really."
-Moonlight rubs her chin. "Moonlight, Mayor of Caetobrix. Has a ring to it, doesn't it?" She shakes her head. "But I wouldn't make a good leader. I prefer to sit back and relax...or get myself in and out of trouble..."
-Omnisaber shrugs and continues to smile, "Well, then that could be my portion of this partnership..."
-Moonlight shrugs. "Besides, last time I checked, cities don't have a going rate, let alone one we could afford."
-Omnisaber nods softly, "Alright, well tell you what. You arrange for us to meet with an owner, and I'll provide the monetary backing."
-Moonlight nods. "Sure thing." She grins. "Nervous about your upcoming initiation?"
-Omnisaber shrugs, "Not really. I have no idea what to expect honestly....should I be nervous?"
-Moonlight shakes her head. "I didn't have any problems really."
-Omnisaber smirks, "In that case I should be fine...I just hope they didn't get the wrong idea about us leaving the bar..."
-Moonlight waves a hand dismissively. "Bah. Who cares? I don't. I've already been accused of being a traitor or a spy...anything they could think of would be nothing compared to that."
-Omnisaber chuckles softly, "I suppose so...I suppose so..."
-Moonlight joins in the chuckling. "Besides, what are they going to do about it anyho
-Omnisaber says, "I honestly don't know...we left before I could talk to Enfilade to find out."
-Moonlight gets that mischievious look on her face. "Should we play a bit with this...make them think the worst and see how they act?"
-Omnisaber smirks softly and raises an optic ridge, "Hrm...all depends...what EXACTLY did the lovely Moonlight have in mind?"
-Moonlight taps the side of her head. "Not sure yet. But we can come up with something."
-Omnisaber nods softly, "True...but I suppose I was curious as to what you might have been thinking when you suggested it is all."
-Moonlight grins. "Who knows? All I know is Novastar was mumbling about whether he heard me right...so I don't think he would bother if he thought it was just a business trip."
-Omnisaber grins back, "Well, as long as we discuss the 'plan' before enacting it, I should have no problem...though...well, we'll see."
-Moonlight finds someplace handy to sit down. "I'm not such a bad actor, but what about yourself?"
-Omnisaber shrugs, "Depends on what needs to be acted out."
-Moonlight nods her head. "True enough." She chuckles. "We could just be quiet and mysterious about the whole thing and drive everyone crazy?"
-Omnisaber nods, "We could...but we can do whatever you'd like about the matter - just don't want to take whatever you might plan too far."
-Moonlight makes a sound of agreement. "Right again. I don't think it should be a problem. Just if anyone asks where we went, just smile and be mysterious about it...people can draw entertaining conclusions without much help."
-Omnisaber says, "Alright then. Fair enough...consider it done, but only because it's you."
-Moonlight wriggles her optic ridges. "Don't like playing games?"
-Omnisaber chuckles softly, "Oh...I like playing games...my thoughts are elsewhere I suppose is all."
-Moonlight pretends to search the air for Omni's thoughts. "And where did they wander?"
-Omnisaber laughs out fully, "Oh, I don't know really...don't know at all."
-Moonlight shakes a mock-scolding finger at Omnisaber. "You should take better care of your thoughts young mech."
-Omnisaber smirks and 'winks' at Moonlight, "I'm not that young..."
-Moonlight nods. "I know...so you keep saying. But I'm sure you were once."
-Omnisaber sighs wistfully, "Once...yes. Or was it twice...oh well. I'm glad we're doing 'this'.
-Moonlight checks the time. "Think we should head back soon? We don't want to take so long they come looking for us." She pauses. "Do you actually have a curfew, or was Solar just trying to be funny again?"
-Omnisaber smirks, "I think Solar was trying to be funny, and yes...heading back now might be a good idea."
-Moonlight sighs wistfully as she stands up. Maybe, if she had found this place first....but thinking that way won't help. "Okay, let's go."
-Omnisaber nods and follows Moonlight closely.
