Issue #7 - The Team is Together Again!

[boostedfailure]

[The past few days have been the same nonsense for Mike, work a stupid job, come home, be intimidated by the fact the town gave you a not wife half your age, feel like a creep so patrol the city for a few hours, pass out and repeat the cycle.  That was life in Mayfield, depressing as it was, it was a bit too much like home, Mike just missed his

[Walking outside to......]

......Um....did I miss something?

[boostedfailure]

Oh! Mae! This is my pal Skeets from home. He's kind of well...

[boostedfailure]

I'm the brains of the operation Miss.

[littlemiss101]

[She chuckles at that.]

Nice to meet you Skeets.

[Tachikoma is moving along in another random exploration trip, this time nice and early to see how people start their days! That is, that was the plan until it hears someone give a shout. Looking around, Tachikoma spots someone hugging a small, flying metallic robot on a porch. Wait, hasn't Tachikoma bumped into that person before? Well then maybe it can ask what it has there.]

Hello! Who's your friend there? Oh wait, you just shouted 'Skeets' didn't you? Is that who that is? They're the one you said we'd get off like gangbangers before, right?

1/2

[boostedfailure]

Yeah! This is my buddy Skeets, he tagged along with me and we've been a team since... Well, forever.

2/2

[boostedfailure]

Actually sir, you stole me from the museum like the rest of your tools and I've been looking out for you. Other than that time you had me locked in the closet with Mr. Gardner's porn collection.

[genkibot]

Oh, I work on a team as well! Well, back home I did anyways. But we weren't used for every mission so sometimes we waited at headquarters while the others went out. But if they did used one of the Tachikomas, at least at the end of the day they synchronized our memories so we all got the memories of the mission!

[Lex is approaching. He also has a strange purple gauntlet on his right arm with a screen on the wrist that appears to be directing him toward Booster and Skeets...]

1/2

[boostedfailure]

Sir! It appears that Mr. Luthor is on the way! Perhaps caution is in order!

2/2

[boostedfailure]

Er uh, no. I wouldn't worry about him. Just be on your best behavior.

Re: 2/2

[greatestmanll40]

[Lex steps closer, and gives more attention to Skeets rather than Booster.]

An interesting device you've regained Mr. Gold.

[Hal can count on one hand the number of times he's been into Olney's. He found it a poor substitute for Pancho's back home, and Lois made a far better drinking companion than the drones of Mayfield. Spotting a familiar figure at the bar, he takes his beer and sidles up to Michael.]

Come here often?

[boostedfailure]

Only when I'm living the life of the universe's punching bag.

[viridian_knight]

[That prompts him to take a seat.]

What makes you say that?

[boostedfailure]

At work one of those lunatics that this town makes a doctor.... Lets just say it was horrible, and guess who got the job of cleaning it up.

I didn't even know a spleen could MAKE a mess like that.

[He just sighs and takes a drink]

[brainneedsbeer]

You seem troubled, fleshy one.

[boostedfailure]

I just spent the day picking bits of spleen out of the cafeteria sink. You'd want a drink after that too.

[brainneedsbeer]

That...

...Sounds utterly disgusting. I was going to laugh at your fleshy troubles but this I can feel bad for you about, even if you yourself have a spleen.

[Pause.]

...So do I, right now, but I am still superior because I should not.

[boostedfailure]

Yeah, uh, right... Look, you want a drink you're welcome to one, you wanna hold the next meeting of the Robots will crush all the meatbags club and I may have to try and stop that.
