The OOC banter for March 4, 2006:

<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade should probably get her arse IC.
<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "Indeed!"
<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade says, "What room are we doing this in tonight?"
<O-Decepticon> Reflector blink-blinks. "Something's happening?"
<O-Decepticon> Cyclonus is just looking up good thai restaurents near the movie theatre.
<O-Decepticon> It SOMETIMES Mixmaster gets out to toolkit, detaches Fusi's arse, tosses it IC.
<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade says, "Yep, Reflector."
<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "NICE!"
<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade says, "Dammit there goes my best asset.  *hides*"
<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "He just did something asstastic!"
<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade cackles at Red Alert.
<O-Decepticon> Cyclonus says, "Of course.. that means mixmaster is now russing around with your rear."
<O-Decepticon> Cyclonus says, "Not telling what trouble it's getting into."
<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade says, "SIIIIIIIIIIGH."
<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "Maybe he can put her rear in him"
<O-Decepticon> Cyclonus says, "A guese there's nothing wrong with a being a little behind."
<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "Better than being ahead?"
<O-Decepticon> 508 nm Fusillade CLOBBERS Cyc on the head.  Awful awful. XD  *laughs*
<O-Decepticon> Cyclonus says, "Depends on what you're clobbering me with."

<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "Is flec coming?"
<O-Decepticon> Red Alert says, "And Galv? :P"
<O-Decepticon> Babysitter Fleet says, "They're too absorbed by Scrapper's lesson on anti-corrosion measure."
<O-Decepticon> It RARELY Scrapper says, "Absorbed, hah-hah."

<Public> Sneak Peek is the sneaky, DepthCharge says, "Yeah, well I think you are right. For the last year I've roleplayed DepthCharge as a secret headmaster and no one is any wiser. I mean, one day Andi Lassiter is wandering about and the next she is gone. The same time DepthCharge is rebuilt.. But still, people would suddenly cry 'OMG MASTERS' if they found out. So best to not tell anyone, and have the theme known only to those in a 'need to know' basis."
<Public> Sneak Peek is the sneaky, DepthCharge says, "Err.. mispage."
<Public> Rodimus Prime says, "Best mispage ever?"
<Public> Sneak Peek is the sneaky, DepthCharge says, "My secret is out. Now I have to kill you all!"
<Public> Batman would win, Comcast says, "That worked so well for you last time, DC."
<Public> Ferrofluid Scrapper says, "No, wait... for I am a ... FOOTMASTER."
<Public> Sneak Peek is the sneaky, DepthCharge will have Hazard code a global @PKILL command for him!
<Public> The Doctor would win, Topspin says, "That anything like a stairmaster?"
<Public> Sneak Peek is the sneaky, DepthCharge says, "Or a beastmaster."
<Public> The Doctor would win, Topspin says, "One of those foot-massaging devices?  Be a good name for one."

Catechism exits Trypticon, having heard of some sort of gathering. She takes a quiet spot towards to the back of the group and waits patiently. If they tell her that Neocron is going out for a side of energon chips and that they intend to poison the chips, she's prepared to believe them.
<OOC> Comcast says, "He's not going out for Pizza?"
<OOC> Comcast says, "(Inside joke. :) )"
<OOC> Cinaplex smites Comcast for the greater good.
<OOC> Catechism says, "YES. Energon pizza pi!"

As the gathering settles into the respective sides, the dichotomy of the factions still present even in this time of almost desperation, the homo-jector flickers to life. A display of Neocron as seen from Cybertrons orbit pans into view, the ionic discharges from the internal flickerings of the transformation lending it a misty opacity. The image spins closer, showing the last remnants of the ocean of murky fluids being sent into vaporous mists, adding to the illusion of a full athmosphere for but a brief moment. Then the scanners dim, the image grows static filled before it sharpens, magnifying the deeper basin of the former ocean. Framework figures, sketches of mechanoids are shown descending the sloping walls of the now mammoth pits, sliding into the deeper darkness of this planetoids indention. As they reach the bottom, framework, pixelated even images of explosions go 'off', and another hole is sketched into Neocrons surface, showing naught but a blackness behind it.
<RP-Coordination> Rodimus Prime says, "Homo-jector."
<RP-Coordination> Rodimus Prime says, "Priceless."
<RP-Coordination> Chimera says, ".. sure."
<RP-Coordination> Galvatron says, "Wha?"
<RP-Coordination> Rodimus Prime says, "As the gathering settles into the respective sides, the dichotomy of the factions still present even in this time of almost desperation, the homo-jector flickers to life."
<RP-Coordination> Galvatron says, "Awww.. sheep."
<RP-Coordination> Galvatron fires his typist.
<RP-Coordination> Symphony hires the Typist right quick, offering to contract said typist back to Galvatron at 3 times the cost...
<RP-Coordination> Comcast sobs and packs up his typrighter. :(
<RP-Coordination> Comcast oohs! "Do you have a dental plan?"
<RP-Coordination> Symphony says, "Yeah, if you got dental, I remove it. :D"
<RP-Coordination> Catechism says, "Is Homo-jector related to Reflector?"
<RP-Coordination> Reflector denies it strenuously and hides the records.

         As the group continues blasting at Tentacles, the sharkticons start withdrawing in a shrieking hurry, a few moments later the Tentacles have retracted as well, leaving the way open to enter the chamber where many of the transformation systems are housed.
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Okay, NOW I'm worried."
<OOC> Symphony says, "Picture the Bridge of Kazah'dun from LOTR. ;)"
<OOC> Foxfire squees, LotR!
<OOC> Catechism will go down fighting a balrog!
<OOC> Foxfire ponders. "Catedalf?"
<OOC> Catechism says, "I am not Catechism the Grey. I am Catechism of Many Colours!"
<OOC> Fusillade chuckles softly.
<OOC> Symphony says, "Does that make Fusillade Aragorn?"
<OOC> Comcast says, "Catechism the GOVERNMENT JET."
<OOC> Fleet spraypaints Catechism in rainbow colors.
<OOC> Fusillade !
<OOC> Catechism says, "...that's exactly what I was thinking. Go date some elf, Fusillade!"
<OOC> Fusillade says, "I WILL then and make her give up immortality to be with me!"
<OOC> Foxfire giggles.
<OOC> Catechism says, "Foxfire is a hobbit!"
<OOC> Fusillade points at the paws. Hairy feet.
<OOC> Foxfire meeps!
<OOC> Catechism says, "Fleet is, of course, Legolas."
<OOC> Fusillade says, "YES>"
<OOC> Fleet pretties!
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Yes he is. XD"
Topspin nods grimly, calling back as he tries to force his way in the diectino they're supposed to be going. "Yeah, I know. Not like Red to /under/-estimate a threat-ah!" he cries out as a tentacle snakes around his arm. Struggling to free himself, he grunts, "How much more of this stuff do we need to get-" and, suddenly, they're gone. "...through?" He regards the chamber before them with a sceptical eye. "Well, this seems kinda ominous."
<OOC> Catechism says, "Topspin is Gimli?"
<OOC> Symphony says, "Of course, he's the only one who could walk across the top of new fallen snow. :)"
<OOC> Topspin says, "...diectino? Direction, even."
<OOC> Fleet says, "Diectino sounds like a diet soda brand."
<OOC> Symphony will preface this by noting that not all enemies need to be engaged directly. :)
<OOC> Smokescreen must be Boromir. Dangit.
<OOC> Topspin says, "...Yeah, Gimli works, just don't expect any tossing jokes. Well, maybe."
<OOC> Reflector says, "Am I the rest of the hobbits?"
<OOC> Catechism says, "You could be Faramir!"
<OOC> Foxfire says, "Who's Sauron, then?"
<OOC> Smokescreen says, "Faramir wasn't in the Mines of Moira! DUH."
<OOC> Catechism says, "Sssh, do you want to LIVE?"
<OOC> Comcast says, "Okay, okay."
<OOC> Comcast says, "You're dwarf skeleton #48."
<OOC> Symphony is OBVIOUSLY Sauron. :)
<OOC> Foxfire laughs.
<OOC> Fleet says, "Well, you can only be two of the hobbits, since Foxfire is obviously Frodo. I guess the third you can be Golum or something."
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Huh. I was going to nom Symphony to be Gollum, what with being all smallish and psychotic..."
<OOC> Reflector says, "... There are four hobbits, Fleet."
<OOC> Foxfire says, "Why am I obviously Frodo?"
<OOC> Catechism says, "bombs=ring"
<OOC> Topspin says, "You have the 'ring'."
<OOC> Catechism says, "Also, you both have F-names."
<OOC> Topspin snaps, too slow.
<OOC> Catechism even has the pointy head for Gandalf!
<OOC> Comcast says, "YOOOOOOOOOU"
<OOC> Foxfire says, "Ooh, cool! Onward to Mt. Doom!"
<OOC> Comcast says, "SHALL NOOOOOOT"
<OOC> Comcast says, "PAAAAAAASSSS!"
<OOC> Topspin says, "Now, where's Twin Twist's tomb- er, I mean..."
<OOC> Smokescreen says, "Lord of the springs!"
         Indeed, inky blackness continues as our wandering commando's press forward. They'd notice in the faint light of Smokescreen's lamps that the tunnel has just disgorged them into a massive cavern. Well, that and there's echo's of urgently moving machinery. There's also a disconcerting glow some distance across the floor, and it's growing brighter very very slowly. As it does, a silhouette starts to form, a silhouette of something big... and it has a vaguely familiar shape.
<OOC> Foxfire giggles.
<OOC> Fusillade says, "ACH HAMMERHEAD GESTALT"
<OOC> Fusillade says, "(Maybe it's a Balrog)"
<OOC> Foxfire throws Fusi to the Balrog and runs.
<OOC> Topspin says, "Let's hope so, then it's the /last/ obstacle. I'd hate to think it was just the cave troll!"
<OOC> Catechism says, "Would I get to that chamber this turn? Is there a door? Can I land in there?"
<OOC> Symphony says, "This is the last obstacle between you and the cog, but you're still thinking small. ;)"
<OOC> Symphony says, "Yeah, you're in the chamber, it's hard to see if there's anywhere to land, and you'll still have to get -around- this obstacle. ;)"
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Izzit a baby Unicron?"
<OOC> Reflector says, "Please, not a dragon."
<OOC> Foxfire says, "There are no more dragons in Middle-earth. :)"
<OOC> Topspin says, "...Pirahnacon?"

<OOC> Fusillade ._. More things that shouldn't be crossed. TLK and LotR. http://fanart.lionking.org/Artists/Tala_Wolf/AragornCGI.jpg
<OOC> Topspin thinks this little fellowship would make an interesting picture. :)
<OOC> Foxfire says, "...As much as I love TLK, that's just disturbing."
<OOC> Catechism dittoes!
<OOC> Catechism says, "That is, I ditto this making a good picture."
<OOC> Foxfire pokes Fusi. "Have you seen how many people cross LotR with Harry Potter?"
<OOC> Fusillade wouldn't know how to begin approaching it? Would it just be the 2k5 characters with little add-ons/props?
<OOC> Catechism says, "Yes!"
<OOC> Topspin says, "Yeah."
<OOC> Fusillade hasn't, no. But then again, there is MLP and Darth Vader, so y'know...
<OOC> Symphony thought she'd clarify, I referenced the wrong scene from LOTR... it was actually the scene when all the goblins scatter, NOT the battle at the Bridge of Kazad'un I meant to reference, but both work well. ;)
<OOC> Catechism has a staff with a knob on the end... wait, wrong fandom.

<OOC> Fusillade draws a cassette with two patches of fuzz at either lower corner.
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Foxfire's done!"

         As the last of the group enter the chamber, the tunnel behind is filled with several Sharkticons. The light blazes on with a suddeness that might blind some as the transformation gearing is revealed, and standing in front of it an image from ancient Cybertron. One of the old style Guardian robots, similar in design to Omega Supreme though of a less advanced design. After all, the Guardian's rebelled, so this must be one of the prototypes... or a -new- design. Hard to say for certain but as the lights blaze on the Guardian comes to life too, it's booming voice stating, "INTRUDERS DETECTED, INITIATE DEFENSE PROTOCOLS!"
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Well damn should have brought the Constructicons."
<OOC> Topspin says, "Yeah, that was gonna be my next guess."
<OOC> Fleet says, "Well, we THOUGHT this was going to be a stealth mission. The Constructicons... are not known for their stealth abilities."
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Very true. :) Hindsight."
<OOC> Topspin says, "You really thought we'd end up sneaking around?"
<OOC> Symphony says, "Ya'll are doing just fine. Just remember what I said... not all obstacles need to be attacked. Guardians are slow. ;)"
<OOC> Fusillade just wants to drop something on its head.
<OOC> Fleet says, "A pity, though. We've got enough here to form Dev, and we could have had an honest to gosh Constructicon vs. Guardian..."
<OOC> Comcast says, "Oh well."
<OOC> Catechism pictures post-death Catedalf as having a pearly sheen to her white.
<OOC> Foxfire says, "It's the Balrog all over again. :)"

Hm. How to go about this? More importantly, would this robot have even a halfway familiar optic-system? Reflector peers up at the behemoth, then leaps into the air to get a better look. Oh, good, very similar to Omege Supreme's at this cursory level.
<OOC> Foxfire says, "Omege? :)"
<OOC> Catechism says, "Omege is Omega's Belgian sister."

<OOC> Symphony says, "And no, I'm not ignoring attacks. By not commenting on them I'm hoping to convey that the guardian isn't sentient. ;)"
<OOC> Comcast says, "Silly Fleet."
<OOC> Symphony says, "It literally doesn't know it's being hit."
+ooc Aww... so Fusillade CAN'T redeem the Guardian with the power of her love?
<OOC> Catechism says, "Aww... so Fusillade CAN'T redeem the Guardian with the power of her love?"
<OOC> Fleet says, "But if we don't see any kind of visible effect, we're left to assume that there WAS no visible effect."
<OOC> Symphony ROFLS.
<OOC> Comcast says, "Care bear stare!"
<OOC> Symphony says, "I'll start putting damage in when it has some. It -is- a Guardian fleet. :)"
<OOC> Fleet says, "All right."
<OOC> Fusillade says, "No, that's not 'it literally doesn't know it's being hit on'."

Circling tightly, her hull still tingling from the residual heat left from the Guardian's cannon, the Lancer circles tightly, bringing her attention to bear on Smokescreen's position. <<Clear yourself, I'm about to drop a few camera-guided units.>> The joys of Cybertronian mixing and matching of weapons... An internal carriage ratchets into place, and a few bulky missiles emerge, before their rockets ignite and they begin spiralling towards the bared ground.
The falling component catches himself before he hits the ground and rejoins himself. Reflector glances over at what Smokescreen is focussing on. Interesting.
<OOC> Comcast says, "Holy crap, there are bears on the ground too?"
<OOC> Catechism dies laughing.
<OOC> Foxfire snerks.
<OOC> Comcast says, "And Ninjas... and uh.. Wizards. NINJA WIZARDS."
<OOC> Topspin says, "Oooh, the Animal Pretenders around, too? :)"
<OOC> Foxfire says, "Yay ninja wizards!"

Cinderblock has connected.
[Friends] Cinderblock has connected.
<OOC> Cinderblock says, "Ack! People!"
<OOC> Topspin says, "We're not here!"
<OOC> Foxfire boos at Cinderblock. Mwahahah.
<OOC> Topspin says, "We're in Moria- I mean, inside Neocron!"
<OOC> Catechism is Catedalf the Grey!
<OOC> Cinderblock says, "Ah, gotcha."
<OOC> Cinderblock says, "I'll toddle then so I don't bug"
A-10 Thunderbolt (Cinderblock) vanishes out of reality.
A-10 Thunderbolt (Cinderblock) has left.

<OOC> Comcast says, "I'm going to have to head outta here sometime soon, guys."
<OOC> Catechism says, "That's fine. We'll all assume that you were eaten by bears."

<OOC> Topspin says, "So... would my name be altered to 'Spinli'? ;)"
<OOC> Catechism says, "Indeed, Spinli."
<OOC> Fleet just doesn't think Legofleet sounds very good.
<OOC> Foxfire must be Foxo, then.
<OOC> Fusillade can build a Lego Fleet.
<OOC> Topspin says, "Fleetolas?"
<OOC> Topspin says, "Flegolas?"
<OOC> Fusillade says, "Fleegolas."

<OOC> Foxfire saw a picture of a Legolas made of Legos once.
<OOC> Topspin says, "Only Elvis."

<OOC> Catechism says, "So... where am I supposed to let Foxfire out?"
<OOC> Symphony says, "Aerial drops usually work."
<OOC> Smokescreen says, "Just throw him at something."
<OOC> Foxfire is not a projectile, darn it!
<OOC> Symphony grins a little at Foxfire!
<OOC> Fleet says, "We appear to have been confused earlier. Foxfire is obviously Gimli."
<OOC> Symphony ROFL!
<OOC> Foxfire says, "Foxli! :D Don't tell the Elf."

<OOC> Comcast says, "..please tell me you have an ejector seat, Cate. :)"
<OOC> Symphony promises that if Foxfire is launched into orbit, Jetfire won't retrieve him. ;)

<OOC> Comcast says, "...okay so I just missed the fact that it's immobile and I'm still going "OMG SENTINEL." Don't worry about the high-strung red Seeker. :)"

<OOC> Catechism says, "Wow, Reflector is GOOD."
<OOC> Symphony says, "Nah, the Guardian was -ancient-. It doesn't have good systems for dealing with modern weaponry. ;)"
<OOC> Catechism says, "I prefer to believe that Reflector is just really awesome."
<OOC> Symphony says, "Okay, Reflector is really awesome. :D"
<OOC> Catechism yays!
<OOC> Reflector grins. No worries. Camera can fly. -- Of course, he's awesome, fool female! Adore him!
<OOC> Foxfire adores Reflector's camera mode instead.
<OOC> Reflector is available for photo-shoots for the right amount of money. ;-)

<OOC> Foxfire looks a gift Catechism in the mouth.

<RP-Coordination> Catechism says, "My playlist just came up with Khazad-Dum, Part 1!"
<RP-Coordination> Foxfire says, "It's a sign!"
<RP-Coordination> Topspin says, "Bit late, really.  :)"
<RP-Coordination> Foxfire says, "But it's still a sign!"
<RP-Coordination> Symphony says, "Argh, finally.  I couldn't remember how to spell it all night. =P"
<RP-Coordination> Foxfire pats Symphony.
