[Video: Locked to Barricade, Dirge, Jetfire and Magnum]
[Cue one nervous-looking Skywarp.]
Ummm, hi. Sorry to bother you. I'm, uhhhh, doing something tomorrow and I've been reading up on the customs of cultures that have generational descent and material possessions and such and apparently what's done in these circumstances is that the material goods are parceled out according to the, uh, the mech's wishes.
[Pauses to actually, you know...breathe.]
But the forms are confusing and I can't find a notary who's still awake at this hour so I'm just doing it this way so maybe you can all witness each other and...well...something.
So. Ummm, if you don't hear from me again.
Barricade: It's not much, but I have about 700 credits. Maybe it'll repay you for that, uhhh, repair thing and get you that high grade I promised you.
Dirge: This thing was in that little ball thing I bought from the classifieds. I kind of thought it was some sort of virulent pest, but, all it's done is sleep. It can apparently make people like it which is more than I've managed to do . Also the fur is quite valuable and seeing as it's the only one here in the Nexus, I thought that you might appreciate having the only one. Its name is, uhhhh, Princess Kissy Meow-meow Fur. Which is officially the last time I let Velma name ANYTHING.
[Little nervous wince. Yeah, it might be the last time he does anything, if things don't go well tomorrow.]
Magnum, sir. I, uhhh, wanted to thank you for trusting me with, well, [Not sure how discreet he needs to be about this] the uhhh, instruction I gave you considering you're as aerodynamic as a potato. [Nervous laugh.] I was going to give you your money back but I read somewhere that that could be considered an insult. And since you have so much that you could just randomly throw so much of it at me, well, it's probably not worth that much to you.
Not that anything I have is.
But.
[Digs around under his desk, coming up with a overflowing box, in which one can see a copy of the novel Rebecca, rubber tubing, an annotated bookmarked URL list of lolcats and a recording of zydeco music, along with a tightly bound bundle of flimsies.]
I've done some entirely theoretical work--ummm yeah,I get bored at night when I....can't recharge--on fourth-dimensional teletransfer that might be useful. And assembled the harder-to-find components for an initial assay.
And the report you had asked for should be attached to this comm file. arenaevaldr01.doc *
And, uhhhh, Jetfire. [Suddenly Skywarp can't look directly in the camera.] Well, yeah. It's...kind of embarrassing how little I have and, yeah. I have a, uhhh, apparently it's called a Po-kay-ball or something that has some interesting subdimensional storage properties. I thought you'd be interested--well, maybe--in it either to take apart or, well, you know, just to have. As a scientific curiosity or something. And also something of mine and yeah it's really pitiful but it's the best I can do.
And, uhhh, I have a favor to ask of...well, any one of you. If you see, well, me but it's not me? You know, like...my frame but not me in it?
Kill it.
Please?
