[Abeni remembered pain; a distinct sharp, burning sting in her abdomen from where the blade had driven in again and again. She remembered the fight, the way she and Zachariah had been ambushed, separated and how she had carried on while he fought his way back to her

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Hello random woman in the hall. There is a giant, alien robot limping his way back to his room.]

[He only gives her a glance before making an attempt to pass her by.[

[forthebothofus]

[WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. Abeni stares, side steps out of the way and raises her gun to point it straight at him.]

What are you?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He glances at her, his good optic barely giving the weapon a second's look. Human firearms became nothing but a minor annoyance a long time time ago.]

Tired.

[And cranky. Did he mention he was cranky? It's his naptime.]

[forthebothofus]

Oh real funny. You know what I mean.

[She's cranky too. And covered in her own blood but lacking an open wound.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He grunts, looking her over.]

... You damaged? Got fluid everywhere.

[forthebothofus]

[She must have hit her head. Or maybe this was what happened when you died. All the weird stuff comes into play. Maybe she was in a coma and this was all some crazy dream.]

I was. Not anymore though. Any idea how I healed up so fast?

[Abeni has no idea what the hell is going on right now.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He shrugs. He hasn't been here long enough to figure that one out.]

No. Probably something about this place that does it.

[forthebothofus]

[That gets her attention.]

And just what do you know about this place?

[heavyweaponsbot]

The dead do not stay dead. The wounded show up more or less intact.

[Like the Elegante. At least, that's what he remembers.]

[forthebothofus]

[Her hand moves unconsciously to her front. For Abeni, it wasn't even an hour passed since she'd been stabbed to death.]

Tell me something I don't know.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He notes the motion with a grunt.]

... You want me to ask why?

[forthebothofus]

[She meets his gaze.]

Nope. Not worth the mention.

[Quite the conversationalist, isn't she?]

Gonna tell me what you are now?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Fine.

[He shrugs. He's not the best conversationalist either.]

Autobot.

[forthebothofus]

Never heard of it.

[Pause.]

Where'd you get the armor?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am not surprised.

[He blinks.]

Custom upgrades when I became captain. It suited me.

[forthebothofus]

[Well that's a weird way of putting it.]

Captain of what?
