47th Transmission

I find it difficult to maintain an ordered squad when those involved get themselves tossed in the brig.  Hmnf!  If you hear this, Zuko, you will answer to me when your punishment ends.  Or King.  Pray that he is more forgiving than I am.

[He mutters something that sounds like "damn kids".  Maybe.  Or maybe you're hearing things.]

The rest of you

What are you, his mom?

[Was that a threat, Ironhide? It sounded like a threat. Toph is very much Not Okay with people threatening Zuko right now. As if the brig and having Azula on his case weren't bad enough.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide snorts.]

If I am his female parent, he has a bigger problem than being in the brig. Who are you?

[rocklikerunaway]

So would you. He's only there 'cause of his crazy sister.

Is your squad gonna help with that?

I'm Toph... From his world.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Explain. What happened?

Maybe if I had some better information, I could tell you.

Ironhide.

[rocklikerunaway]

She's been picking us off one by one. He stopped her.

[It's a poor explanation, but she doesn't care. She can't give the gory details; she didn't ask Zuko for them. And even if she had, she doesn't answer to Ironhide.

He only got that much out of her because she remembers his name; he's the metal guy who got smooshed in the theatre.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

"Us"? Others from your world?

[You know, the punishments they hand out should really come with explanations. If he'd known the reason, he'd have at least tried to use that elusive skill known as "tact".]

[rocklikerunaway]

Yeah. And any of our friends who get in her way.

[Okay so Azula had attacked Jim while she was affected by Jennifer's crazy. But you know what? Toph's really not inclined to be all that forgiving.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He grunts.]

That would have been good to know before I demanded his presence.

[rocklikerunaway]

Yeah. No kidding.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Captain's fault.
