[theheterodyne]

[Agatha's comm is sitting on what appears to be one of the tables in her workshop. She's across the room, back to the camera, and working hard on something. She's humming to herself, the sound a very strange multitoned thing that human vocal cords really shouldn't be able to create. Every so often, she stops the humming to give a short, cackling

Comments

[someone's taking a break at the moment, from a failed experiment if the scorch marks and electrical burns in the general vicinity are any indication]

Hmm? Oh, hey, yer one of Agatha's little minibots, aren't ya? What's yer (master? mother?) ...creator up to?

[noticing the 'song', he sets his com to attempt to record the frequency]

[theheterodyne]

[It waves excitedly at him, then points at Agatha's back and goes into a complicated pantomime of building something.]

[must_do_science]

[watches for a couple seconds]

Okay, I get that she buildin' something. You know what it is? Or maybe move the com over where I can see?

[considers interrupting the work for a second to ask Agatha herself, then quickly decides against it]

[theheterodyne]

[It waves its arms and mimes shooting a gun.]

[must_do_science]

Oho, so she's making a new weapon, huh?
[tries look at what's happening on the bench, to no avail]

This I have to see. I'll be there soon!

[link clicks off - then on again a second later] Uh, yeah. She never did tell me where she was. Do you know how to send coordinates?

[theheterodyne]

[It seems to think for a minute, then tugs the camera over toward a stack of paper. After a minute, it doodles the coordinates.

A warehouse in zone 6.]

And away he goes~

[must_do_science]

Ah, there we go! [inputs co-ords, then the video clicks off in the middle of transforming noise. Vrroom!]

Action? :D

[theheterodyne]

[Meanwhile, Agatha has no idea that she's going to have a visitor in short order.

The dingbot goes to sit just outside the big door so it can alert her or just let him in.]

Why yes indeed!

[must_do_science]

[a little while later there's an engine rev and tire-screech somewhere outside the warehouse, followed by that oh-so-familiar transformation noise.

The bigger mech's head appears in one of the windows near the garage door, peering in quizzically. should he knock? Or just try to let himself in?]

Action!

[theheterodyne]

[Alerted by her 'bots, Agatha blinks at the face in the window and takes a moment to make a mental note to cover all windows for privacy purposes later, then heads to the doors.

She pokes her head out of the human-sized door, hiding a pistol behind her back.]

...Can I help you?

[must_do_science]

[Recognizes the voice, pivots around until he can spot her] Oh! There y'are.

[Waves, crouching down closer to her level] Sorry about not knockin' but I didn't want to disturb ya. It's me, Wheeljack.

[theheterodyne]

Oh! Hello! I wasn't expecting a visitor! One moment, let me get the big door open for you.

[Pops back inside to open the giant Cybertronian-sized door.]

Come in, come in!

[must_do_science]

Ah thanks! [enters, managing to avoid immediately staring at the workbench she was at on the com in curiousity]

I woulda announced myself but one of yer little mechs here showed ya workin on something, and I know how it can be when ya really drop inta gear on these things. [ optics drift that way again...] So, ah, do you mind my askin...?

[theheterodyne]

One of my bots did what?

[Blinks in confusion up at him, but shrugs a little and gestures toward the human-sized workbench.]

You want to know what I'm working on, hm? Just another mod to sell at the Swindles' shop, most likely.

[There's what appears to be a giant, mech-sized wheelchair off in a corner of the warehouse. It may or may not have jumpjets, but it absolutely has cannons and other weaponry attached.]

[must_do_science]

One of 'em got ahold of yer com and... well I guess it's not important.

[surprised] Swindle as in combaticon Swindle? Has a jeep alt-mode? Would sell his own friends for a quick buck Swindle?

[Eyes the device, trying to decide if it fits into the category of a movement aid for damaged bots or a mobile weapons platform. After a second, decides that it could be both. Points towards it] That's... an impressive collection of weaponry.

[theheterodyne]

Swindle as in all of them that exist in the city, actually. There are three, I think? It pays rather well, actually, and I get my hands in all sorts of technology.

[Follows his point and grins.] Ironhide didn't think it needed weaponry, but if you're having mobility trouble, it stands to reason that you're also an easy target if you can't defend yourself. I built it for Ratchet's clinic, but he didn't want it.

Still, it goes quite fast, which is always fun.
