((Wildfire, Kimakaze, Euphoria)) (U, D, U)

Oracle walks into the area.
Wildfire radios.
Wildfire has just walked out of the Militia House with Kim.
Wildfire notices Ora and waves and smiles.
Oracle nods back to Wildfire with a weary smile.
Wildfire mutters to Kimakaze: "... there ... ..."
Wildfire smiles "Feeling rested?"
Oracle sighs. "Physically I'm fine. But I find that I'm always tired. I don't know why. Maybe I was too soon to be back on my feet."
Kimakaze smiles at Oracle. "Greetingss. May I ask you a question?"
Wildfire shoots Kim an odd look.
Oracle nods to Kimakaze. "Certainly. Anyone can ask me any question. Whether I answer or not is another matter."
Kimakaze nods "Okay then. can you tell me how to contact the mech known ass Lunar?"
Kimakaze says, "Oh by the way....Brawl sends hiss regards." She smiles."
Wildfire whoas and rolls her optics. Tres subtle...
Oracle looks pleased at the mention of Brawl. "Oh? How is he doing? And in answer to your question, have you tried radioing him?"
Wildfire smiles nervously at Ora.
Oracle quirks a questioning optic ridge at Wildfire's smile.
Kimakaze chuckles. "Brawl is doing some patrol work right now, ass it happenss. He wanted to see you but couldn't. Anyway, I couldn't get through to Lunar on hiss radio."
Oracle shrugs. "Then I'm afraid I can't help you much. I know I've talked to him via radio a few times. Perhaps he has just turned it off."
Kimakaze says, "Well, do you know where he'ss living? I could leave a note or something." She looks thoughtful.
Oracle doesn't answer for a while. "And what will be in this note?"
Wildfire stands back and watches the exchange with something resembling thunderstruck awe.
Kimakaze chews the end of her finger a bit. "Well, I've never met him really. What do you think would be nice? I take it he enjoys Crystal City culture...I mean who doesn't..." she chuckles a bit, looking round her. "It'ss a decent relaxing spot to dwell. Perhapss I should place a note asking him to meet me here?"
You say, "I thought your faction members weren't allowed in here. At least, that's what Brawl told me, and I'd doubt he would lie."
Kimakaze nods "Yess I know that, but I am a Citizen of Polyhex." She flicks a badge out of subspace. "This iss also my Neuteral Messenger Marker. It meanss that I get shot often ass the wartime bringer of news.
Oracle looks at the marker, then looks at Kimakaze's face. "Perhaps you're allowed here, but it would be foolish to expect Lunar to meet you here. For one, he is a Decepticon and they aren't allowed here. And the second reason is that most of the citizens here would undoubtably attempt to attack Lunar. I don't think he would put himself in that position."
Kimakaze nods "All right then. Hass he ever shown you where he livess now? It would probably just be easiest to wait for him there. I have the datafiles I need for him to fiull out."
Wildfire clears her throat. "They won't attack him if I have any say in the matter."
Oracle fixes her optics on Kimakaze. "And what would you do to him if you found him?"
Oracle turns to Wilfire. "They'd get him eventually. So many people I've talked to want his head mounted on their wall, figuratively speaking."
Kimakaze giggles a bit. "Why....give him the goodss and talk to him, then when he's happy I've done my job and he'ss filled it all out, then I go home to stock marking again."
Wildfire shrugs "Then I'd say he's better off with us. We'd at least be able to keep him safe."
You say, "He told me that he doesn't want to be brigged."
Kimakaze says, "If I can get him to talk to me, he wont be. Because I am the Head Advisor to Security.""
Kimakaze says, "All they want iss for him to fill out the needed data."
Wildfire shrugs "His call, I'm sure."
You say, "I'm not going to hide the fact that I don't quite trust your faction's Chain of Command Kimakaze. Who gave you your orders, if I might ask?"
Kimakaze shurgs "Oh, that? My orderss came from Diktat. He's in charge of Polyhex and small Transformer development. I told you, I'm not a regular Con. I don't work for Darkmount."
Kimakaze says, "I just advise who I'm sentenced to and take mesaages.""
Oracle nods her head. "Just making sure. Diktat is quite the smooth talker, and I don't trust him either, but I trust him more than Onslaught or Razelore...I don't like their methods."
Kimakaze nods "You're telling me. Onslaught iss a fool. I stay well away form hiss sort."
Wildfire forcibly bites back a laugh and an 'Amen'.
Kimakaze says, "Look - all I;m trying to do iss to do my job, democraticly. We don't want Darkmount involved, do we?""
You say, "I certainly don't. And by the way, how is Diktat?"
Kimakaze grins. "Oh, he'ss doing well. Polyhex is a flourishing city state under hiss command. He iss one of the few CoC who treatss their advisers and underlings like myself well."
Oracle smiles. "Then I wish him luck. But I don't think I should reveal where Lunar is. I can get a message to him if you wish. I appologize for not trusting you fully, but I've been rather skeptical of everyone as of late."
Wildfire grins "I hadn't noticed."
Oracle glances at Wildfire.
Wildfire smiles at Ora, and shoots her a fondly amused look.
Kimakaze sighs a bit, her optics a rather despairly shape. "If I don't get thiss stuff to him soon, and talk to him, Darkmount will mount a huge search for him. This iss the ONLy way we have to prevent Planet war 5000. Look, can you get him to meet me in the trench then? I cant go home empty handed. They'll flay me if I do. I'm a peon, you know. I don't GET the luxury of choosing to fail.
Oracle shrugs at Wildfire and laughs. "I'm not ususally this wary of people."
Oracle nods. "I thought you were in well standing with your faction."
Wildfire grins "I'll take your word for it." She returns to watching the exchange.
Kimakaze shakes her head "Not since I told Onslaught I was unhappy with hiss treatment of captivess.
You say, "You've been demoted then? By how much?"
Kimakaze points to where her tiny rank marker used to be. "He threw me in the brig and took away all the yearss of good service I did."
Kimakaze says, "I made it to the highest ranked advisor, ranked (three)."
You say, "So you're the lowest rank now?"
Kimakaze nods "Exactly. If I come back with no data and no clue as to where Lunar can be found to GIVE him thiss data, then I'm dead."
Oracle hesitates, then give a sigh. "Very well, I'll have a meeting set up then....at the trench. Will that please your superiors enough not to cause you too much trouble?"
Kimakaze says, "Look - I'll try to be there. If they don't stick me on a spike or something. Onslaught's really gunning for me now. If HE findss out, I might ass well shoot myself.""
You say, "Just tell them it's the best I can do. If any of them wish to speak with me directly, I will meet them outside of the city. I have no objections to that, but I also can't produce miracles."
Kimakaze nods "I know. It'ss just if Lunar were here.....never mind. Will you ask him to meet me? If you send me the time and exact place in the Trench, I can be there, by myself."
Kimakaze says, "Not like anyone would back ME up anyway. Not now that I'm wanted.""
Oracle smiles gently. "I suppose you and him have something in common now." She sighs. "Your faction is hard to please."
Kimakaze shrugs "I'm allowed to work for them, but I'm no part of them. I do not wear their sigil and I do not come from them. I'm just trying to survive here.
You say, "I will give Lunar the message and tell you time and place through radio. Tell whomever you report to that I'm working as fast as I can and it is my incompetance, not yours, that is taking up so much time. Then they can take their complaints to me."
You say, "Then why work for them at all? Some of us survive better without answering to anyone."
Kimakaze shrugs "Because they have my brother.
Kimakaze says, "I dont want them to kill him."
Oracle nods. "You are in a precarious position then. I'll do what I can, I don't want to cause you trouble."
Kimakaze nods "I appreciate that. Just try to keep Lunar calm, okay? I can get him out of thiss. It wass my sepciality long ago."
Kimakaze says, "tell him the facts - I am just some ranked nothing femme with no gun." She doesnt appear to have any guns at all."
Oracle shakes her head sadly. "This world has gotten a little too dark and complicated for me. I'll send the message as soon as possible. If I can't reach you, who should I contact instead?"
Kimakaze grins a bit. "Oh, just send it via internal text messaging. I dont want any Darkmount scum to intercept it."
You say, "Should I tell Diktat at all?"
Kimakaze waves a bit. "I have to get going, I have other agents to give files to. If I'm late they'll give me one hell of a hiding for it. Farewell."
Kimakaze shrugs "If you want to.....but he'ss busy."
Oracle nods a farewell to Kimakaze.
Wildfire nods "You do that."
Kimakaze walks off briskly.
Wildfire shakes her head and grins at Oracle "So, anyway..."
You say, "Yes?"
Wildfire laughs "Euphoria's sparked off an investigation. I can't help but think that he will be pleased."
You say, "How is the investigation going?"
Wildfire shrugs "Dunno. It hasn't started yet, really."
You say, "I see. Have you talked with Euphoria lately?"
Wildfire shakes her head "Not since last cycle. He's still in the holding cells. I'll swing by him later."
You say, "Send him my regards."
Wildfire nods "I will. I could probably arrange for you to visit him, if you like."
You say, "Maybe later. Just see how he's feeling first."
Wildfire nods "Weirdly enough, he seemed pretty pleased to be incarcerated." shakes her head "That's a first."
Oracle shrugs. "Some of us are strange."
Wildfire nods "Some more than others."
You say, "Everyone must think I fit into that category."
Wildfire smiles and waxes philosophical "Well...perhaps not everyone, but the vast majority, yes." laughs.
You say, "I know if I was anyone else, I would label myself as strange."
Wildfire shrugs and gestures to the city "Waifs and strays, all of us."
You say, "And those of us who left our factions...even if we were well off there."
Wildfire nods "Them too. This place caters to all."
Oracle laughs. "Some place has to put up with us."
Wildfire grins "Yep. And this is it." shrugs "Well, I'm off to talk to Euphoria. You sure you don't want to come?"
Oracle shrugs. "Sure, I'll come."
Wildfire nods and heads back in.
Oracle comes in after Wildfire.
Wildfire is standing over by Euphoria's cell.
Euphoria nods, relieved. 2Good. Apart from that I'm willing to accept whatever is coming to me. Oh, hello Oracle. Hows your day been?"
Euphoria is grinning. If you knew the Euphoria of old you know thats exactly what he does with alarming reoccurency.
You say, "My days been tiring. How are you faring?"
Euphoria says, "Well, depends on what way you look at it, doesn't it?"
Euphoriachuckles and shrugs at the cell and his quite messy body. He has been sleeping rough lately you know.
Euphoria says, "Interior, as better as I've been in a while. Exterior.... Well, probably the same I'd expect."
Wildfire says, "Is there anything you need?"
Oracle quirks an optic ridge at Euphoria. "I'm glad to hear you're doing so well, considering."
Euphoria shakes head at both. "Well, Oracle, no use looking on the down side. I'm finally getting what I've... Well, hidden from all of this time and I know that things will be better after this... Well, here's hoping! And, no, I don't need anything.... Actually a little something....
Wildfire says, "Yes?"
Euphoria says, "Could you inform the City that my business in the Spaceport is shut but the Dance's Club will stay as it is until after my trial?"
Wildfire nods "I'll do that."
Wildfire remembers something "We'll need a formal statement from you concerning all of this, though."
Euphoria looks at heroddly. "You do?"
Oracle leans against the far wall and listens.
Wildfire nods "Yes. I need to know as much as possible if this investigation is going to yield any results."
Wildfire nods to Euphoria "Just think about it. I have to leave now, but I'll be back later." turns and smiles at Oracle "Stay as long as you wish. Sign out with him..." gestures to the guard "...when you leave."
Euphoria nods. "Bye."
Wildfire turns and walks out.
