((Brawl, Wildfire, Bracer, Lunar)) (D, U, U, D)

Brawl transmits: ' hey baby'.
You transmit 'Hello Brawl. How have you been lately?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' good and you. im worried. i heard lunar escaped..'.
You transmit '*The voice on the other end sounds surprised.* Has he? I just got back from taking a little trip....where is he now?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' I dunno. I hear them talkin about it on the radio..'.
You transmit 'Then he hasn't been seen by anyone yet? How did he escape?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' i hear it's explosions and stuff. I don't know. I wasn't there.'.
You transmit 'Oh? Do you know if anyone was hurt....I guess you wouldn't....would you?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' bracer was that's all I know..'.
You transmit 'Really? That's awful? And is your faction against Lunar still?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' I think so..'.
You transmit 'I see...So, does anyone know Lunar's 'intentions?'' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' nutuh. I think he just wanted to break out.'.
You transmit 'So, what have you been up to lately Brawl?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' patrollin, we're low on energy so im lookin for that, too..and you?'.
You transmit 'I just got back from being away from the City, so I'm a little tired.' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' where did you go?'.
You transmit 'I heard there was something of historical value, and went to look for it. It turned out that there wasn't anything there...' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' oh sorry about that..'.
You transmit 'But it's no matter. It's probably best that I was out of town during Lunar's escape.' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' im just glad yer safe..'.
You transmit 'I don't think I would have been in danger...even if I had been in town, unless I was in the Militia building at the time.' to Brawl.
Oracle walks into the Hospice, looking slightly tired and concerned.
Triage is looking Bracer over, checking repairs.
Oracle nods to everyone present.
Wildfire notices Oracle and nods a greeting.
Brawl transmits: ' well that's good. i hope he doesn't want to hurt you still.'.
You transmit 'He might want to hurt you however...at least, that's the impression he gave me.' to Brawl.
Oracle smiles back to Wildfire slightly.
Brawl transmits: ' tell him anytime, anywhere!'.
You transmit 'I'm certain you would be able to hold your own against him.' to Brawl.
 She keeps her expression carefully neutral as she greets Ora. "Oracle."
Oracle looks properly horrified. "What happened to you?"
Brawl transmits: ' I think I would be. Im tough!'.
You transmit 'I know you are...very tough.' to Brawl.
Wildfire winces. "I tripped..." This is apparently a private joke. "...on Lunar."
Brawl transmits: ' ever see me fight?'.
Oracle nods her head. "Yes...I just heard that Lunar had escaped."
Bracer says, "Excuse me...what were you doing around Lunar?" he rasps, his voice nearly gone "Hmmm?"
Wildfire shrugs. "I wasn't doing anything around him, I just sort of bumped into him."
Bracer says, "And...?"
You transmit 'No, I haven't...but I've heard enough stories.' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' what kinda stories?'.
Wildfire says, "And one thing led to another, and all of a sudden he opened fire and I responded in kind."
Oracle listens to Wildfire and Bracer.
You transmit 'Just that you're tough and fight very well.' to Brawl.
Bracer says, "And one thing lead to ano..." Bracer's voice rasps offline and he stops to try and reset it. 
Quickfix frowns "I told you, you'll need to work that out. But....nooooo...you had to go kick the therapist out""
Brawl transmits: ' and i can beat up lunar!'.
Wildfire has never been too happy over a faulty vocalizer in her life...
Bracer scowls "I told you, Wildfire" he whisper-rasps "Not to take him on alone"
You transmit 'I know...does your faction want him 'beat up?'' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' I think so. boss says if I see him I can rough him up.'.
You transmit 'Do they want him destroyed, or brought in?' to Brawl.
Wildfire says, "And I told you that I could handle him."
Brawl transmits: ' brought in i think..'.
Oracle interupts for a moment. "Where is Lunar now?"
Bracer says, "I don't want anyone facing him alone, Wildfire"
You say, "Is he really that much of a threat?"
Bracer eyes Oracle "Yes"
Wildfire sighs. "It was all over before the backup could arrive. He ran."
You say, "What happened?"
Wildfire says, "We fired at each other for a while, and he managed to ground me." She grimaces at the memory. "Then he blustered some and left."
Bracer sighs and shakes his head.
Oracle nods. "I see. And is there any word of what his plans are?"
Wildfire shoots Bracer a plaintive look. "I didn't plan this, all right?"
Wildfire shakes her head. "Not that I've heard."
Oracle sighs. "Was anyone else hurt?"
You transmit 'I see.' to Brawl.
Wildfire shakes her head again. "No, we were alone, but I got the feeling that he's just warming up."
Bracer sighs "Great"
You say, "Then you think he is planning trouble?"
Wildfire says, "I don't know what to think, to be honest."
Bracer says, "Whoever he's with does, if he doesn't"
Oracle blinks her optics. "Who he's with?"
Wildfire turns to Bracer. "He was talking about his 'new friends'."
Bracer says, "The ones who..." he coughs slightly, once again trying to realign his vocalizer "blew up Militia house to get him"
Oracle looks surprised. "The 'ones'? You mean it wasn't just Solar?"
Bracer says, "Didn't....Solar?"
Wildfire arches a brow. "Solar?"
Bracer scowls "That's two now...who would the 3rd be"
Oracle nods. "I assumed if anyone helped Lunar, it would be Solar. He told me he had no other friends and trusted no one."
Wildfire sits up fully to get a better overview and winces as this apparently wasn't a good idea. She sinks back and frowns as she thinks of something. "My money's still on our favourite sight seer, Bracer."
Bracer raises a brow "Fortress?"
You say, "You don't /know/ who broke him out?"
Wildfire nods. "But that might just be my paranoia."
You say, "There weren't any witnesses?"
Bracer says, "I wasn't here...neither was Wildfire" Bracer whispers "The reports indicated that the assailants were not recognized, however there are indications""
Brawl transmits: ' ya like him?'.
Wildfire says, "Oh?"
You say, "What sort of indications?"
You transmit 'I feel sorry for him.' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' why?  he beat you.'.
You transmit 'That's why I feels sorry for him.' to Brawl.
You transmit 'No, no I don't. It's just that I feel sorry for anyone who feels that they have to do to me what he did.' to Brawl.
Feedback opens the door and crosses over to stare at the two militia officers. He raises a brow and pulls out a datapad "Innnnteresting"
Bracer notices the entry and scowls "Hello, Feedback"
Oracle nods to the mech she doesn't recognize.
Brawl transmits: ' he's a loon, let him go'.
You transmit 'Evidently I already have.' to Brawl.
Wildfire rolls her optics as Feedback arrives. "Oh, joy..."
Brawl transmits: ' is that a good thing?'.
Feedback steps over to Wildfire's table and asks "So, Officer Wildfire...this condition of yours occurred due to a run in with the criminal, Lunar?"
Bracer furrows his brow "Feedback, get lost"
You transmit 'I believe so.' to Brawl.
Wildfire shoots the bipedal vulture an even look. "Hello to you too, Feedback."
Oracle glances at the individual who seems to be annoying to Wildfire and Bracer.
Feedback continues, oblivious to Bracer and Oracle's looks.
Bracer says, "Feedback.."
Feedback eyes Bracer "You cannot stop me...enquiry neurals want to know!
Wildfire boggles at the statement and thinks she should introduce Feedback to Oracle.
Oracle just watches the three others in the room with her.
Bracer grumbles, but his voice just isn't there.
Feedback awaits Wildfire's statement "Officer?"
Wildfire would rather ignore Feedback until he goes away, but decides that might never happen. She nods curtly. "Yes."
Feedback taps the answer into his datapad "And would you say, Officer, that you were more badly damaged than he was?"
Oracle leans against the wall and continues to listen.
Bracer scowls and goes to rise, unfortunately, Quickfix has put restraints on him to ensure stability during his repairs.
Wildfire smiles sweetly. "Why, Feedback, I didn't know you cared."
Brawl transmits: ' oh okay'.
Feedback blinks "The news is the news"
You transmit 'I still must talk with Ghost...' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' jus' call her..'.
Wildfire shakes her head wearily. "Then the answer is that I honestly don't know."
You transmit 'She isn't responding at the moment.' to Brawl.
Feedback nods his head "I see. And do you think that his attack on you will be indicative of his pattern? Is the Terrible Torturer on the prowl?"
"Enough, Feedback" Bracer gruffs, his voice barely above the whisper
Brawl transmits: ' she;ll get back to ya. she gets busy sometimes.'.
Feedback takes his optics off of Wildfire to look at the large Militia Lieutenant "What happened to your vocalizer?"
You transmit 'Certainly she is...she is your leader after all.' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' yeah'.
You transmit 'Are you on duty at the moment?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' no but im not allowed in crystal city right now due to energon shortages'.
You transmit 'Are the shortages Cybertron wide, or just for the Decepticons?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' uhhh I dunno...'.
Bracer eyes Feedback coldly "I'm not in the mood, Feedback" he rasps "Leave now, please, and I will grant you an interview later"
Feedback blinks, and ponders the entries on his datapad "It won't be news later"
Wildfire shoots Bracer a grateful look.
Quickfix moves to stand beside Feedback "You are bothering my patients. Please leave as requested"
Feedback looks at the frown on Bracer's face, and the look of Quickfix. He whines slightly but nods his head "Oh...alright"
Feedback points at Bracer "Just remember. There's witnesses. You said an interview later!"
Bracer nods his head and then sets it back onto the table surface
Feedback turns and leaves the room
Feedback exits from the hospice.
Wildfire sighs. "That was fun..."
You say, "Who was that?"
Bracer sighs "Feedback" he rasps. "The voice of Radio Free Cybertron"
Oracle nods. "He seems much nosier than I am."
Bracer tries to shrug. Not easy, lying down. "His job"
You say, "True enough."
Wildfire shakes her head. "This is getting a bit out of control..."
Bracer says, "What is?"
Wildfire says, "All of it. This Lunar thing." She waves her hand indistinctly and winces. "I kind of messed up, didn't I?"
You say, "I'm sure you did your best."
Bracer shakes his head "No. You got out alive. Next time, though...do like I said."
Wildfire smiles faintly, admitting defeat. "Yes, sir."
You transmit 'Could we meet somewhere between then?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' got an idea where?'.
You transmit 'Not really...how about you?' to Brawl.
Brawl transmits: ' uh..deadlands?'.
Wildfire makes a final entry on the pad and enters a final command, filing what passes for a report with her.
Oracle quietly slips out of the room, nodding a final good bye to Wildfire and Bracer.
You transmit 'Sure, if you want.' to Brawl.
Wildfire nods to Oracle as she leaves.
Oracle walks into the area, evidently looking for someone.
Stealth Tetrajet flies around, pretty much invisible. Yup, I would say that.
Brawl transmits: ' be right there'.
You transmit 'Okay.' to Brawl.
Oracle stops in place and seems to content herself with looking on, even though the scenery is less than inspiring.
Stealth Tetrajet frowns as he sees who she is. With a roar of engines he swoops downwards, transforming and landing in front of her. As he does so, the stealth field dissapates. He looks badly damaged, not critical, but far from pristine. There are no threats, no sinister sneer, his demon mask almost looks reluctant. "Hello, Oracle," is all he says.
Lunar transforms into Lunar.
Oracle steps back, apparently startled. "...Lunar..."
Lunar nods. "Yes, it's me. Free at last."
Oracle seems to compose herself somewhat. "So I noticed." She is trying to have a dry tone, but not quite succeeding.
Lunar sighs. "You're nervous. Don't be. I'm not going to torture you again." He looks down at his slightly battered chassis. "And definitely not before getting a full repair."
Oracle nods. "I see...Wildfire and Bracer seem to be in pretty bad shape as well."
Lunar raises an optic ridge. "Bracer? That wasn't my work. Wildfire was."
You say, "I guessed as much. Their damages were different. I won't say anything about either...I know there will be no point. I would also ask you who helped you, because I believed you had no friends save Solar, but it would be unwise for you to tell me, so I will leave that information unknown."
Lunar sighs. "Be that as it may. I was hoping . . . and dreading that I would meet you. Hoping because there is something that needs to be said. Dreading because you're probably too stupid to listen."
Oracle quirks an optic ridge. "Stupid? Yes, I recall that you often refer to me as stupid."
Lunar sighs. "Just because I'm not in the brig doesn't mean my social skills are any better."
You say, "I suppose freedom doesn't make the mech then."
Lunar growls softly, his optics narrowing.
You say, "I didn't mean to insult you if that's how you interpreted my words."
Lunar frowns. "I came out of hiding to tell you something. I don't want you trying to find me, contact me, or anything."
You say, "You've said as much before...I suppose you thought I wouldn't listen...most wise of you Lunar."
Lunar snarls. "You'll lead the slagging CCM right TO me, Oracle!"
Oracle frowns. "I didn't come looking for you...remember that." Then she sighs. "I'm glad you're safe however."
Lunar turns slightly away. "I don't care what you're glad about. Oracle, if I hadn't found you here you would have come looking for me. You can't. If the CCM finds me again, they'll make sure I don't escape again."
Brawl stomps into the area being the big lug he is.
Oracle looks guilty. "I forgot to tell you I came here to meet Brawl...." her voice trails off, growing small and kidlet-like.
Brawl detects two life readings..oracle..and "LUNAR" he growls "Allright. I get to slag you here and now"
Oracle sounds helpless, "Brawl...."
Brawl snarls "you stay away from her!" protectively.
Lunar whirls and GLARES at Oracle. "Oh, you FORGOT, did you? Slaggit, trouble follows you wherever you go. It's DANGEROUS talking to you." He turns to Brawl. "And someday, Brawl, you will get what's coming to you." He backs away, moving towards the shadows.
Lunar chuckles cruelly. "Have fun. You two deserve each other." He spits out the words like a curse.
Oracle walks a little towards Brawl. "I'm fine Brawl." She looks back apologetically to Lunar, apparently her oversight is paining her greatly.
Brawl says, "oh no lunar.."
Brawl says, "ive been waitin a long time for this. you and me..now.."
Brawl snarls "coward.."
Oracle steps towards Brawl to whisper...
Oracle mutters to Brawl: "... don't ... ... to ruin my ... I ... ... ... violence. ... ... ... in ... ... you ... ... go ... ..."
mutter Brawl=I don't want this to ruin my evening... I don't really like violence.  Will you be in trouble if you let him go this time?
Lunar chuckles. "That's right, Oracle. Tell him not to fight. You're only prolonging the inevitable." He turns and moves into the shadows. "See you in the Pit, Oracle . . . and not before."
Brawl snarls "i'm only lettin you go casue the lady said to..
Brawl says, "and you ain't touchin her. I'll make sure of that.."
Oracle gives Lunar a pained look that says, "Good luck, you'll need it."
Lunar vanishes, but his dark, cruel voice drifts back. "If I decide to touch her, you won't be able to stop me Brawl. Just like no one could stop me before. Just like no one could keep me in a cell.
Lunar has left.
Oracle watches Lunar leave for a mere second, then turns back to Brawl. "Thank you very much Brawl...I know a fight will happen, I just don't want it to happen in front of my very optics."
Brawl says, "Next time he's gonna get it.."
Oracle looks down. "I just hope I'm not there to see that moment...."
Brawl says, "uh..close your optics."
Oracle hesitates for a moment, then shuts her optics.
Brawl says, "no not now.."
Brawl says, "next time i meet lunar. shut them and you wont see what I do."
Oracle opens her optics. "Sometimes seeing isn't done with the optics Brawl."
Brawl says, "cover your audials too?"
Oracle shakes her head. "That wouldn't be enough...but I doubt it will be a problem. Lunar never wants to see my face again."
