[Magnum is around town, picking up parts before he meets with Barricade at the rendezvous point. Although he's in a lower Zone--5 or 6 by the look of it--there are still a few Pixels floating about...and now and again he stops to look at one. Since it now takes three times as long to get from place to place, however, he's double-tasking by

[Oh, he's grinning.]

It's much better than it sounds.

[not_your_gun]

...I think I'm not going to try to find out. [There is a hand on his forehead.]

[governorkang]

Your choice. Don't knock it until you've tried it, though.

...after watching Dirge the past few days, I think your statement has a few flaws.

like he read His mind...but not His intonation

[kaon_krusher]

As You command, as always, My Liege! [pauses though, clearly unsure] I…was practicing during this crisis…but I do not have fine precision. I might just smash one of the humans.

[not_your_gun]

Yes, Lugnut. That would be precisely right.

[kaon_krusher]

Oh.
...
...
Oh!

Then it will be an honor and a pleasure, Lord!

[not_your_gun]

What would we do without you, Lugnut?

[endless_avarice]

[Has actually slept a night and had a shower now]

[Yawn] So, you want to tell me what this is all about now?

[not_your_gun]

We're going to go and see about getting our bodies back.

Who knows? If you're good, maybe you can keep that one, too.

[endless_avarice]

[In a good mood now that he's feeling better]

Mn... Sounds good to me. I'm tired of getting yelled at for being so fragile.

[not_your_gun]

I think you're being yelled at for being stupid.

But you can certainly get away with more stupidity when a single mistake won't cause your body to shrivel up and die.

[sound_loyal]

[ . . . ]

Understood.

[Soundwave sounds very monotone, more like his old self, for once. He does not know how to feel about this. He does not wish to harm the jets.]

Jetfire's cooperation: High priority.

Separation: Impractical.

You use the capture of the blue one to entice the orange one, I'm sure. I do want this done...quietly...if possible, however. There are a few Autobots working on portal pieces for me, and I'd like to stay in their good graces if I can.

[Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the cassette player so that Soundwave could transform without causing a serious inconvenience.]

I'm certain you can work out a way.

[Action]

[sound_loyal]

[He doesn't transform right away, waiting for a moment longer. It was... unusual, to tower over Megatron in such a way.]

Understood.

Discretion: will be utilized.

[not_your_gun]

[He looked down at the tapedeck...running a finger over the clear tape bay and then polishing it on his untucked shirt.]

You are the master of subtlety...

...

even if we do need to get you a new alt mode.

[houndofmegatron]

Work on the power adapters hasn't progressed significantly from the last time I updated you, sir, but of course I don't have far to send it when it's done.

[It was so convenient to be able to walk two steps over to the portal to install things, really.]

[not_your_gun]

[For a moment, he worries that Blackout had seen the other part of his message, and he stiffens...but then he smiles as he hears what is said.]

Indeed. Especially considering that you're the recipient of most parts-you can have it sent directly to yourself.

You should get out and see the Pixels for a few cycles, though. [He pauses again, looking at one float past.] If we complete this on schedule, you'll not get another chance.

Ever.

[houndofmegatron]

Convenient, that. It'll save on postage, too.

Should I expect everyone else's contributions to come to me as well? [He's trying not to be potentially offended by the possibility that they won't. After all, he's just another subcontractor on this, as far as he knows.]

...Mn. If my schedule permits, sir. [C'mon, Magnum, you should know better than that. Blackout doesn't do fun!]

[not_your_gun]

They will be coming to you eventually for assembly, one way or another. You will let me know, I assume, if they are acceptable or not?

[He...narrows an eye.]

Your schedule just freed up. Go see the Pixels. Jetstorm would want you to, so that you can talk about it with him.
