Weird stuff that's happened:

There's a Decepticon in the Nexus who's not from our universe. A real Decepticon! Not like those funny G1 guys. She is kinda weird, but she's got some programming glitches, so I guess that explains it.

Oh yeah, and I got attacked by a blob. And then it wrapped itself around Rollbar's head and kept trying to disassemble

From somewhere...she's lost again

[towby]

*a confused Towby can be seen in alt-mode floating in pretty much the middle of no-where* This isn' home...well it doesn' seem like home. Umm...I thin' ah'm lost.

*snorts* what do you think I spend most of my time doing? I've had this glitch ever since I came online and I still can't fix it. I know tha' but argh I just can't stop myself. It's wierd.

Uh huh yeah he would wan't me to work while there is virtually nothing to do. Besides I'm not technically supposed to go out on my own. *Look it up in the dictionary ;)*

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

He'll just reprogram you again if it gets in the way too much.

There's always something to do. There's training, and recon, and patrols, and repairs, and that's even if your guys have that much time between missions. *he pauses* And why not? *Decepticons have no fun. Decepticons need no fun.*

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[towby]

He can't reprogram me again that's the annoying part of the glitch he tried it I get wiped.

*try explaining all that to sparkling..even one that moderately well behaved...normally* I know but my mind can't handle stuff like that Dad said i need to grow so I'm less hyperactive. *pauses and declines to answer*

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[namedbyothers]

Wiped how?

Can't handle it? That's normal Decepticon stuff. *And it's a worrying idea, since their primary function is to serve...*

*He hesitates for a couple of seconds* Kid, if you can't even function properly, you're headin' for a reprogramming, no two ways about it. *And so what if you get wiped? If you need to be reprogrammed, there's nothing there worth protecting, says Decepticon doctrine*

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

I'd become a blank.

No I can't handle being lectured to for hours upon hours because I'm a fruitcake. I went nuts last time...which I sadly can't remember, but apparantly I tied up the preds somewhere; or something like that.

*she seems to shrug* eh if thats were I'm goin' then I wont complain. I've always kinda wondered what it was like. *unfortunatly Towby's a useful fruitcake; how I have yet to figure out.*

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[namedbyothers]

And then you'd get new programming. Simple.

What lectures? Work is work, not talking.

*he considers it for a second, then shrugs it off* Meh.

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[towby]

...do you actually know what a blank is? ((Are blanks in RID similar to those is BW?))

*is silent for a few minutes* You wouldn't understand.

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[namedbyothers]

((No-one's ever seen one. Maybe.)) ...Means you've got no programming, so you're a blank slate?

*indignant, and maybe disturbed* Why not?

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[towby]

((Then for arguments sake they are)) No it means I'm practically dead. I'd be like someone without a spark...a blank is a sparkless...thing. ((and I'm pretty sure that's the BW defintion only their blanks stay in their pods))

*is quiet for a bit before muttering* Becuase you're not my uncle Movor.

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[namedbyothers]

((Blanks have sparks, don't they? Otherwise the Maximals would've had to spark their own, which they didn't...)) What? How's that work? Erasing programming doesn't destroy the spark... I think.

*Unless of course the shock to the system is too great and kills the person involved... he's not sure how that works, either.*

Yeah, I know that. What's so different about your guys that I wouldn't understand? Heck, I don't even know what I'm not understandin', here.

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[towby]

((No blanks don't the protoforms do but the blanks are sparkless that was how they got primal back)) My spark's...well it's kinda damaged it's part of the reason I have such a glitch. They have to wait until it grows stable before they can do much and the shock from the influx of data could simply wipe me. It nearly did the first time.

*Movor's kinda right but Towby's no expert in this she only know's what she's been told so a scratcy expliantion at best*

((MUN doesn't know enough about the RID guys to properly answer that question...soooo ignore this part if it's compleatly different from cannon. A little deviation I don't mind but too much might make Movor's brain implode))
They're sorta protective. So you wouldn't understand all about the lectures and why they put up with me even though I'm defective.

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[namedbyothers]

((*fingersnap* Ah, right.)) Huh. I see.

*How deviant it is, it's hard to know: the RiD Decepticons can change pretty fast: how they'll be in two years and an unfamiliar situation is uncertain at best*

*flatly* Maybe I wouldn't.

*Either way, he doesn't like it.*

There's a portal or something about six metres to your left. *he transmits the co-ordinates*

Re: From somewhere...she's lost again

[towby]

Yeah *she seems uncomfortable*

*ah thanks then*

*she flinches slightly at his tone* No maybe you wouldn't.

*she seems to be quiet and subdued* Thanks for the help sir. *the DUKW turns and speeds off (admittadely not very fast) towards the portal*
