The TransTechs are coming

Sep 16, 2009 12:34

Insert TransTechs Here((( This is a quicklog: If you want your characters to interact with some TransTechs as they search the Zones level-by-level, start a thread. (Also, include where they are: are we finding him on the street, or is she answering the door politely and offering energon cookies ( Read more... )

In The Streets show_my_cannons September 16 2009, 17:37:58 UTC

[Dragging his beaten aft back home, after dropping Prime off where he thought he'd be safe. Needless to say, he has no idea that the Primes/Megs' have been taken--a little stunned by the sudden devastation, and worried as all get out.

Oh yeah, and one arm's basically useless.]

What... happened here?

I will NOT throw Sentinel at you. XD axiom_npc September 16 2009, 18:34:14 UTC

[Airazor comes by, looking nearly as exhausted as Ironhide does, and equally worse for wear (though she's still fully functional). She's surprised to see Ironhide, and more surprised that he's surprised at the damage.]

There was a riot here. What, did your data tracks get damaged? Show me your id bolt, you aren't supposed to be on the streets.
[She's just a little bit gruff, but not overtly so. Mostly just businesslike.]

8| Thank you. Death is not on the menu for today, plz. show_my_cannons September 16 2009, 18:43:03 UTC

[Just... stares at her] Been working. Lower zones. Was not paying attention to... news feeds.

[Growls a little.]

How else would you suggest I return to my quarters, hmn?

Re: 8| Thank you. Death is not on the menu for today, plz. axiom_npc September 16 2009, 18:55:06 UTC

[Terse] And I suppose those injuries are from a freak explosion in the lower zones, and not from causing trouble here? ID bolt. Now.

And if your quarters were here, they are very likely no longer standing. Now the bolt. [Impatiently holds out her hand, which has a scanner built into it]

Never seen acid scores before? Caught out in the rain. As for the rest... I am a warrior in the rings. Have my own medic up here. [Not entirely lying there.]

What. [Taken aback for a second] ... I need to see for myself. You are in my way.

Nice lies hide. Zone 1 is a disaster zone, and you don't look much better. axiom_npc September 16 2009, 19:05:04 UTC

ID CHIP [This time it is NOT a request, and the TransTech's weapons are a low glow of coming online. She does not have time for this either.]

Well over half the residences in Zone 1 were destroyed last night, the remaining half are only partly stable. The area is NOT safe. You are to find place of logings in the nearest zone. If you do not have a place to stay you can be escorted to a designated waiting area, or to prison. It's your choice, warrior. All able medics are assisting with the injured.

[And no, Ironhide's state does nto qualify to Airazor]

MOST OF THAT WAS TRUE >_> show_my_cannons September 16 2009, 19:10:14 UTC

... You want it? [nods at the scored-up mess of the left cannon and its attached arm--held against his chest, because that's totally not hurting, really] Fish it out.

... [Quiet now though, that wasn't what he wanted to hear] ...

And riots are responsible for all this...?

TOTALLY GUESSING AT HIS IDBOLT, let me know if you want it fixed? axiom_npc September 16 2009, 19:29:39 UTC

[Muttered] Do not test me LowTech. I am a microclik away from hauling your aft back to processing just for being on the streets, but I am trying to be reasonable.

[Strides over and completely unafraid carefully shifts the damaged arm and turns it to see the id-bolt on the inside of Ironhide's arm. She scans it, and then releases Ironhide's arm. Also not trying to hurt him further - though she's glaring the entire time ( ... )

NO THAT'S PROBABLY PRETTY ACCURATE. show_my_cannons September 16 2009, 22:09:54 UTC

Then do not test me, meddlesome... hmnf.

[He growls and winces a little at the moving, but keeps most of it to himself--it hurts though. He'll glare right back.]

Yeah. I know. Not my fault the bar got... crowded.

[Listens, the glare softening just the tiniest fraction.] Citizens are dead. [Not really a question.] Who is suspected? How many began this?

Will. Soon as I locate my team.

Hurrah. Now don't piss off the TransTech. She appreciates the fact you're sore, but so is she! axiom_npc September 16 2009, 22:19:20 UTC

[Decides to ignore that barb, yess.]

We have suspects in hand, and searches are being conducted for further assailants. We believe that it in part was at the direction of an illegal Prime and Megatron. [A brief, short snort] How they both managed to arrive outside of processing will be something our scientists will be trying to explain as some sort of statistical impossibility for cycles.

Negative, Ironhide. You will get off the streets now, and meet with your team once sweeps have been completed. Now you will go, or I will escort you. Please give me some faith in LowTech sensibility today.

... needs a muzzle, I swear. show_my_cannons September 16 2009, 22:34:50 UTC

[His arm presses a little closer to his chest, while the working cannon primes--before he visibly checks himself.] If you have them, get rid of them! Deport them, whatever it is you do! Get them out of here! Be--[cuts himself off as "be useful for once" probably isn't going to help.]

... I need to know if they are alive.

Yes. I can only imagine how bad he'd been if it WASN'T Airazor. axiom_npc September 16 2009, 22:59:08 UTC

You have a communicator. And their state will not change whether or not you are there, personally, beside them. Do us both a favour and stand down, or I will put you in stasis cuffs and kick you in with the rest of the trash we've had to sort through, Primus help me!

[Bristles] And we don't have them, hence the sweeps! We've got over three hundred mechs out there right now doing a level by level check of EVERY Zone! Which is why people like you need to get off the streets. It's Military. The sort who are going to shoot you first before they ask questions! We are trying to prevent any further issues!
[This conversation/argument? She's had it before. A lot. And she's so damn TIRED of it all. She's tired enough that she's the one who sags - and realizes that she's still got her weapons on-line when a little warning reminds her about her need to refuel sooner rather than later. Damn it all.]

Look, the shut down won't last much longer, and we'll have power back to the whole Offworld by tonight. Just go away and sit tight for a few more ( ... )
