The return of the daring duo...via GHoP.

Feb 07, 2006 19:25

*As Skyfire approaches the Ark for a landing, Finch bails out the back again in falcon mode and flies in alongside the mech, transforming just before touching down. Breathing a sigh of relief to be home, she glances at her partner.* Thanks for the lift, Skyfire... I mighta been toast out there if you hadn't been there to bail my tail feathers ( Read more... )

* Delphia, upon hearing the arrival of Finch, sits up and peers over.

Oh... so you're Finch. *smiles* I'm Delphia... one of the new arrivals. Red Alert paired me up with you while you were away. I know this is kind of an awkward introduction, but the boys didn't bother to include me in their conversation, anyway...

*Ratchet and Rhinox glance at each other...half a 'klick before the CMO starts to bristle. Literally.*

[Scomm:Rhinox] Why didn't you TELL me not everyone in here was out cold?!

[Rhinox:Scomm:Ratchet] She went offline while I was working on her, earlier!

[Scomm:Rhinox] Well, she obviously didn't STAY offline! How much do you think she heard?!

[Rhinox:Scomm:Ratchet] You're asking me? I'm not psychic.

[Scomm:Rhinox] Oh no, Mr. "I-can-separate-my-core-consciousness"!?

[Rhinox:Scomm:Ratchet] That only happened ONCE. And because I had a -window of opportunity- for it. And why don't you quite glitching at me over a secure line and just ASK her, then TELL her to keep it quiet? As it is, we're standing here glaring at one another. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we're aruging at one another over a line.

[Scomm:Rhinox] ....D'OH!

*Finch stares at Delphia a moment, then glances over as Ratchet and Rhinox get into it with each other....*

Um, why do I feel like I just stepped in something I shouldn't have. ... ... No offense, Delphia. ...Ratchet, you're baring fangs.

l33tmedic February 8 2006, 03:51:24 UTC

Because I'm ANGRY! PRIMUS! *Grabbing Rhinox, Ratchet drags the scientist off to his office.*

[Rhinox] Sorry about this!

*Door slams shut.*

fowl_play February 8 2006, 03:53:21 UTC

*Optics half shuttered, Finch eyes the closed office door before turning on one heel to look at Delphia with something of a mildly amused expression.*

...you have blackmail material. Give.

sapphireseas February 8 2006, 03:59:29 UTC

* Delphia is a bit startled by this turn of events... she never meant to upset either of them... but at Finch's demand, she grins. She's going to like this one.

Well... I didn't catch all of it. Some secret project, test subjects, yadda yadda. You know how guys can be with their toys sometimes.

*grinning even bigger* But, to be honest... that's not the best blackmail material I have, either.

fowl_play February 8 2006, 04:08:05 UTC

.oO (Secret project and test subjects, huh? Interesting.)

Oh really? Hrm... *Finch appears thoughtful a moment before shrugging.* Well, it looks like in his righteous rage, "Uncle Ratchet" has forgotten a few things and effectively locked me out of my favorite sleeping place. So I'm going to go hole up in one of the storage rooms if you wanna follow. ...I'm tired after my run into enemy territory, but as long as I'm awake, I wanna hear about this other "blackmail material" you've got. Nothing wrong with a little girl talk, 'specially when Sparky stuck us together and we don't even know each other, yet?

*Turning, Finch moves to go out the way she came in...*

sapphireseas February 8 2006, 04:21:32 UTC

. o O (Sparky?? Awwww... how cute.)

*follows after Finch* Unfortunately, in my case, there's not much to tell. Whatever brought me into this world apparently did a number on my memory banks, too. Thankfully the ted--*her face flushes a little* ...er, Ratchet, I mean, and his crew, helped me out. So, unless you want a detailed rundown of everything that's happened since I got here, there's not a lot of detail to know. *smiles a bit* So, tell me a bit about yourself before we get into the evil blackmail of certain persons in this base.

fowl_play February 8 2006, 04:32:51 UTC

*Leading the way into one of the storage areas, Finch pulls herself up on a crate and sits crosslegged.*

Fair enough... I'll try to sum myself up as best I can so I don't get all rambly about things. Before the war, I was a courier in Iacon, but when things kicked up bad and Megatron made his big push for conquest, I joined the Autobot side. Did some spying, infiltration...but it didn't last long. The Decepticons caught me and altered me...made a war machine mech named Dirge out of me. I stayed at the back of his spark for a few million years before he had the unfortunate experience of tangling with Ratchet. Long story that, in and of itself...thanks to a problem with a rogue spark infecting mechs all over the place. Somewhere between Ratchet's interference and that infectious spark, I split from Dirge...and Ratchet and Wheeljack built this new body and put me in it ( ... )

sapphireseas February 8 2006, 04:43:35 UTC

Hmmm... as a matter of fact, he did say that about you... among other things. *smirks* He seemed to be a little scared about putting us together, after the fact... wonder why that could be. That's assuming Sparky is your security chief. Cute mech... not really my type, but still... really nice, if not a little nervous. Then again, sounds like you might just have a hand in that.

fowl_play February 8 2006, 04:54:44 UTC

That would be "Sparky", yeah. ...and he probably WAS scared after the fact, if just because you seem to be something of a femme after my own spark. Sparky is... a complete and total stickler for the rules. Any little breach of protocol is enough to get him ranting. But I suppose that's part of what makes him fun. ...the mere fact that he's that excitable is cute, anyway. *^_^*

But so...c'mon. He said stuff about me! Anything beyond what I'm used to hearing in terms how troublesome I am and all that? *She leans forwards, expectantly.*

sapphireseas February 8 2006, 05:02:12 UTC

* Delphia snickers, and tries to decide how much to say. It's obvious to her both of them care about each other, but she didn't want to play Cupid unwelcome. At the same time... wouldn't hurt to give a little detail...

Well, he complained about how much trouble you caused, like you figured. But, at the same time... he said your spark was in the right place. And he stammered. A lot. *grins* Something tells me he wasn't telling me everything on his mind. I don't want to speculate, but I think "Sparky" maybe doesn't resent the trouble you cause as much as he acts like it does. I think you make his life... interesting.

. o O (Hmmm... y'know, I wonder how well she knows Ratchet... but if I say anything, she's gonna figure it out...)

fowl_play February 8 2006, 05:11:15 UTC

*Finch teeters and falls back first onto the crate...giggling insanely. She then -squees- a little bit and sits up again, BLUSHING.*

...just more reason to make his life even MORE "interesting" from here on out, I think. And here I was worried that last prank of mine kind of messed things up a bit. I mean... Just... Hee. *Clearing her vocalizer a little, Finch attempts to settle down.* Primus... If Red's there when I give my report, it's going to be almost impossible to behave myself. Nothing outright, of course, but still... *giggles again*

sapphireseas February 8 2006, 05:16:19 UTC

* Delphia, meanwhile, is insanely amused by all of this* Hey, who says you have to behave yourself around a mech you like? I mean, Primus knows I haven't... I mean, wouldn't. *smirk* But I don't know. I mean, maybe he does get frustrated... but he cares about you. I can guarantee you that much. And I almost wish I could be there when you deliver your report... it is kinda amusing to see the poor mech stammer and get all nervous.

fowl_play February 8 2006, 05:27:03 UTC

*Finch almost cackles.* Oh, well... I haven't ALWAYS behaved myself around him...obviously. I did tease him while hanging upside from the ceiling once. Kissed him on the nose then, too. As for you not being there... *shrugs, looking smug* I do still have the spy equipment Jazz loaned me, camera, mic and all. And hey...you shared information with me, so I'm more than willing to share information with you. We femmes need to stick together, being so outnumbered and all. *GRIN*

By the by... Is that mech you've NOT or WOULDN'T behave around one of the guys here? Or back home? *interested look*

sapphireseas February 8 2006, 05:31:16 UTC

*blushes a bit at the question* Well, you know... *takes in a deep breath* Aw, fine. You shared with me, so why not? I'll... admit to finding your medic very appealing. I actually... I actually sang a song for him in the bar. I felt like a fool, and he probably thinks I'm a complete idiot, but... ah well, that's life, isn't it?

*smiles* And yeah, we do need to stick together. After all, your security director put the two of us together and... um... we gotta make him regret that decision for a long time to come, don't we?
