Jan. 24th, 2010 11:06 amIt would seem that none of us can escape the chaos. [Yes, he's totally blaming the rest of you for this D|]
I can only assume this will happen periodically, but I will provide what assistance I can to those of you currently... afflicted. I am willing to provide transportation and navigation... or a helping servo to any that should need it. Simply inquire with me.
I will not require it, but any information you can provide me with about the... trip... would be greatly appreciated.

Dec. 25th, 2009 09:30 amI am uncertain as to the particulars of this holiday, but I am certain that what was left outside my quarters has nothing to do with it.
If you will excuse me, I believe I need to give something a proper burial.
[Shockwave did figure out presents, though, and has them for people! And left them outside their rooms!
Blurr gets a half-dozen throwing spears and a couple cubes of Energon wrapped in red and... purple ribbon. Hail Megatron?
Ratchet and Rfena both have tool kits sitting outside their rooms. Ratchet also has the rest of the Autobot's Energon sitting outside his room with a letter of apology for their lateness.
Blitzwing gets a handmade Lugnut plushie! And the knowledge that Shockwave learned to sew just for him.
Ganondorf gets a warhammer! Yaaay!
Mikaela got a bow and arrows - and the grip on the bow is made of a gator purse, yay! - and a double-chain necklace carefully twined onto the top of the bow.
And of course he didn't forget Ironhide. He gets a bag of coal and a tensy tube of superglue. Quit being hard to buy for, grumpy D|]

Dec. 4th, 2009 10:20 amI would like to extend my belated greetings to the latest arrivals. My designation is Shockwave. Apologies for my quietness of late.
Jane Dowe. I hope you have come to your senses and will no longer be using your fellow passengers for... target practice. It would be quite unfortunate if I had to deal with you. [Yeah, he heard the Major's transmission. And he is a very unhappy Decepticon.]
Blurr, Ratchet, Blitzwing. Mikaela. If I might, I would like to call a meeting between us to discuss our truce. We need to more thoroughly establish it, as quickly as possible.
And might any of you know where I can find the ship's engineer? I have an injury that requires the use of a blow torch.

[Resounding over the comm is what sounds like a scuffle, interspersed with clangs and the squeal of metal being dented.
After a few moments, there's another squeal of metal and an audible groan, from someone that doesn't normally make that sound for any reason. Then a voice cuts over the comm.]
[Cybertronian]
Under attack; assistance requested.
[The message cuts off, but the comm doesn't. Have fun listening to the fight, Elegante.]

Oct. 30th, 2009 09:41 am[Shockwave sounds surprisingly calm, all things considered. He pulls the sheets off of his bed, which can probably be heard over the comm.]
This is highly unusual. And unexpected. How odd, to have five digits once more...
I will not rant and rave about my current state. I refuse. Instead, I will inquire as to proper etiquette and care of an organic body - I am woefully unfamiliar with humans in this capacity, I am afraid.
And might I trouble any of you for clothing? Or something to cover an... empty space, as I seem to be missing an optic.

Audio Transmission - Test Eight
Oct. 25th, 2009 12:14 pmBlitzwing and I have been discussing a foray to the caves, as niether of us has investigated yet. I was curious if anyone else would wish to join us. It would be a much better trip with more company, after all...
[A door creaks open in the background. It's followed by a loud buzzing and a yelp, then the door slamming shut again. There's an obvious tightness in Shockwave's voice when he speaks again.]
Blurr. Did... something follow you to my room and you did not inform me?

Oct. 18th, 2009 05:19 pm[There's a squirting noise and then several thumps that might be an undignified flail.]
Primus, right in the optic!
[The voice gets closer.]
Well. That was unpleasant. However, I must formally welcome two of the latest additions to the passenger manifest. Though I must also wonder how my opposite numbers are handling their arrival.
Have any of you seen Rfena recently? I am afraid I have not heard from her in quite some time. I am... concerned.
[Commentlog - Open!]
Sep. 24th, 2009 11:27 pm[Shockwave's mostly been hiding out in his room for the last few days - reading, figuring out a feeding schedule for his frog, Spittor, and just generally letting himself heal. It's been rather peaceful, all in all.
Today, though, he's returned to the rainforest on Deck 3 to keep trying to identify the plants. He's even got a book of plants with him for it. He's straddling a log, peering a group of leaves and occasionally glancing down the manual and flipping a few pages.
His posture practically screams 'Bother me!']
((OOC: Feel free to happen along and pester him... or try to startle him, if you like! He likes talking to people!))

[What follows for several minutes is the ripping sound of duct tape coming off of metal and the soft thumps of wine corks into a drawer. Another thud as the drawer is closed, and Shockwave speaks up. The voice has the usual neutral tone and British accent back again, but is decidedly more female than usual.]
That is far better. The current change is less disruptive and irritating, at least. Though I'm curious. What sort of theories do the rest of you have on the reasons for the... unusual events that have been taking place?
(Locked to Mikaela//Unhackable)
Mikaela, are you doing any better today?
Also, would happen to have any polish on you or know where I can obtain some? I am afraid that Ironhide managed to scratch my chassis and gauntlets before I could do something.
((More the sex change than a gender-bender, really. Hey, I like the rhyming, don't be a playa-hata <3 Then again, he'd probably be the same sneaky, emotionally-repressed jerk that he is now if he was.))

Sep. 11th, 2009 10:58 pm[Oh hey, it's Shockwave's ID number again! ... So why does it sound like Ironhide?]
If I did anything untoward in the last two days, I apologize. I was not myself.
[There's a pause, and the thunk of the comm being dropped onto a table. He lets out a throat-clearing rumble. There's obvious irritation in his voice when he speaks up again.]
Then again, I suppose I am still not myself. This is Decepticon Agent Shockwave, and I have one question. Who is currently in possession my body, and what have you done with it?
((Shockwave is stuck in the body of his most favorite-est (not) Autobot, Ironhide. Have fun with him, kids!))

Sep. 9th, 2009 08:55 pm[Anyone that still has their memory might recognize Shockwave's voice, though the voice is younger with an... American accent.]
This doesn't look like boot camp. Sentinel Minor, are you here, sir? Is this some sort of drill?
...
Oh dear. I-I seem to be lost.
[OOC: Meet "Longarm", Shockwave's better half, circa "Autoboot Camp"!]

Sep. 1st, 2009 07:04 pm[There's a steady pinging noise over the comms, like water spraying against metal. In fact it's exactly like water spraying against metal. After a few moments, Shockwave finally speaks - apparently he's far too dignified to make a big deal over his impromptu bath.]
I offer a belated welcome to all of the newcomers, and I hope the ship has been treating you acceptably. Though there has been a rather steady influx lately. Curious.
Now, then. I do have an inquiry. As of this point, I believe there are five "alien robots" on this ship, myself included. We have rather... strict dietary requirements, so it would be useful to know if they can be fulfilled. In plain language, does anyone happen to have any Energon, or know where it can be obtained?

Audio Transmission - Test Two
Aug. 12th, 2009 10:16 pm[Shockwave's communicator cuts in abruptly with the sound of scraping. Interspersed is the crack of wood breaking.]
I find that it helps to analyze a situation, rather than panicking and flailing about like headless robo-chickens.
These are the facts - the captain apparently takes captives. He released one, and took three more. Rather than performing this action quietly, he announced it for all to hear, and all three have subsequently sent their own messages as they were captured. This suggests that he wanted us to hear and wanted everyone afraid.
However, we must also take into account that we have two sources of information that contradict each other - the crew, and miss Shayn. Without any other points of reference, both sources must be 'taken with a grain of salt' as the Earth saying goes.
The course of action seems clear, though I hate to have to reiterate some of the other passengers' points. Remain calm, and only travel in armed groups. Sending terrified messages with no point of reference serves little purpose but to make those you care about afraid or angry. If anyone is attacked, send your location and as detailed a description of your attacker as possible.
Above all, display caution.
[EDIT following this]
I have, perhaps, jumped the gun in linking Captain Redd with the kidnappings directly. There is a chance that these events are not linked with one another. Regardless, my advice to the other passengers remains the same. Particularly if the announcement has nothing to do with the taking, as it is possible that whoever is doing so will not stop at three.

This device should be sufficient for my current needs. I suppose I should start with the questions that have doubtless be asked before. What is my current location, and how did I come to be here?
Furthermore, why am I smaller than normal? No matter; it is hardly a setback. The more pressing question is, why are my primary weapons still deactivated?
[There's a pause for a single moment, as though he's considering something, before drawling out in that smooth British accent of his...]
I have little doubt that, regardless of the answers, I am lost. As well, I am very likely on my own in this place. So, I have two more inquiries, before I pause for answers. Who are all of you, and would any of you be willing to show me around?
