You organics and your pets. Is there even a point to this thing? Or does it just sit in its cage all day and look stupid?

[There's a rattling sound. Something metal clanking on metal.]

Aw, what? You don't like that? Too bad.

[More rattling. And Sunstreaker laughs.]

[... It would seem someone has discovered the Moose in the stables.]

[Nepeta is also creeping around the stables when she hears the rattling of the cage and decides to investigate. But once she spots the giant robot, she gives a frightened squeak and ducks behind a feed trough.

Did he see her?]

[Commentlog]

[gditsideswipe]

[Not yet! He's busy dragging his finger over the cage bars and otherwise harassing the moose.]

[Isn't he a nice guy?]

[Commentlog] Ohai leaving out words.

[purrtndyfuntms]

[No. No he isn't a nice guy. In fact he looks a lot like a giant carpenter droid or perhaps... Perhaps he is an imperial drone! Either way, he could kill her!

So naturally, Nepeta peeks out from behind the trough and makes the only logical move there is; she gathers her feet under her and then leaps for Sunstreaker's back in a ferocious pounce-greet!]

[Commentlog] there there

[gditsideswipe]

[He's distracted by the moose. To the point that he doesn't notice the flying organic until his sensors start screaming warnings at him.]

[And by then, it's too late. She hits him, and Sunstreaker snarls, automatically deciding he's being attacked. He reaches back, to try and rip the organic off him.]

[Nepeta unsheathes her claws, but there's nothing to grip on to, only metal. And then she's sailing through the air, her body twisting about so that she lands crouched on all fours a short distance away. She whirls about to face where the drone should still be. Is he there?]

[Commentlog]

[gditsideswipe]

[Oh, he's there. And drawing his rifle. This little thing tried to jump him. Clearly, there can be only one reaction to such a thing.]

[Better move. He's going to fire.]

[Commentlog]

[purrtndyfuntms]

[Nepeta is very familiar with riflekind. As soon as she sees the barrel trained on her, she's rolling aside and looking for cover again. She finds it behind some weird yellow vehicle with "taxi" printed on it]

[Commentlog]

[gditsideswipe]

[He charges after the fleeing organic. It's just a car. He's made of metal. He'll get the creature if he tries hard enough. And that's precisely what he's doing, climbing over the taxi.]

[Commentlog]

[purrtndyfuntms]

[And Nepeta is climbing under it. The metal groans above her. The drone must be heavy! She quickly squirms out the other side and scampers for the stable exit.]

[Commentlog]

[gditsideswipe]

[He spots her as she gets near the door, and lifts his rifle again. Taking aim, he fires off a few quick shots in her direction.]

[... Unaware that these won't blow the organic creature apart, should they hit.]

[Commentlog]

[purrtndyfuntms]

[She's evasive and she's quick... But not that quick. Just before she can dart around the protection of the door-frame, one of the rounds connects. Nepeta is thrown back several yards and lands prone on the ground, stunned.]

[Commentlog]

[gditsideswipe]

[At first, he feels a thrill of victory. Damn right he won. That little bug didn't stand a chance.]

[... But then he realizes it didn't blow up. Or disintegrate. The Autobot steps over to the organic, and nudges the body with a foot. Nothing. He looks at his gun.]

Huh.

[And without another glance toward her -- he starts wandering off from the stables, examining his weapon.]
