If anyone finds any roaming robots around, lemme know. I'm deactivating all of the ones left.

And if I said anything to you in the past week? Just don't think about it too hard. Didn't mean any of it. Okay? Okay. Forget any of it ever happened.

There were a whole bunch of them earlier! You mean there might still be more?

[badasscopters]

Already wound up spotting a few. As for where they came from, kid... that's classified information.

But it ain't gonna happen again, so don't you worry your little head off, 'kay?

[not_a_tadpole]

I don't know. That wasn't the first time I've seen something like that happen...

[badasscopters]

Well, it ain't gonna be happening from that guy again, at least. He's... gone. Permanently gone.

[whitedeviljack]

Was that really real?

[private]

[badasscopters]

Sure enough.

... Just so you know, I didn't wanna attack you. I never would've.

[That's his roundabout way of apologizing.]

[private]

[whitedeviljack]

I don't... understand I was something completely different, and so were you.

I know you wouldn't. Are you alright?

Re: [private]

[badasscopters]

Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with me. Well, 'cept for some scratches and bruises. [Including that certain nasty gash on his arm.]

As long as we're cool, y'know? Besides, you got fucked up, too.

[Probably not the best wording for it, but he was never good at articulating phrases anyway.]

[boxingmidget]

Mr. Goose, what happened to you that week? Sounds serious with you, too.

Everyone sounds like they've had it rough.

[badasscopters]

... Kid, I can't remember. Did a robot ever attack you last week?

'Cause that's kinda my fault.

[private]

[boxingmidget]

[Hnn.]

Well, from what I heard, someone knew Raiden had attacked me...he was a robot...Is that what you mean?

[private]

[badasscopters]

Nah, ain't what I meant. I attacked him, too.

... I attacked a lot of people with my- [wince] -minions.

[After things had gone back to normal, Surge was confused. He remembered snippets from the previous week, but not everything. It was difficult to piece back everything together when there were still blank spots in his memory.

But he couldn't deny something had happened. Especially when there was metallic proof in his gym. Goose had mentioned it in a journal entry, so maybe the pilot had some answers.]

Hey. You, uh, wanted to talk?

Re: [action, post-AU week]

[badasscopters]

...

[Goose was basically emoing sulking emoing sulking a little on the couch, his face curled up into utter disgust. Not with Surge, but rather, with himself. He couldn't believe that he made such a terrible 180, and to think that he'd done so in the way he hated the most...

There was that and another thing that chilled him to the bone about what happened. He looked up at him with a frown.]

Hey. So... you remember me, right?

Re: [action, post-AU week]

[badasstrenches]

What?

[The question seemed so simple, so stupid and ridiculous. It took Surge a moment to remember that just a week ago, they had been different people.]

Yeah. Of course I do.

[He sat down on the couch beside Goose and hesitantly took the pilot's hand in his own.]

Re: [action, post-AU week]

[badasscopters]

Oh thank god, so you were just actin' crazy, too. That's good.

[He huddled up close and rested his head on the lieutenant's shoulder. His brows furrowed.]

... How much of last week do you remember?
