Audio Transmission - Test Seven

[magnushammered]

[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.

[Oh you're so amusing, Shocks.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[...Is that ironic, or the truth, 'Hide?]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[The truth. He's laughing.]

You should get that comm looked at.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am certain it will quite all right. Though I suppose I could always obtain Blitzwing's opinion. You met him, yes?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Gloating, are we?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

I'm really...worried about her, too. I haven't heard from her or seen her.

[Not another friend disappearing. Please.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Losing Frenzy had been harsh. The thought of losing Rfena... worse.]

That is not particularly comforting, I'm afraid.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Losing Frenzy had also honestly bothered Mikaela as well.]

Yeah...I wish I had better news.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Yeah. He doesn't like the idea of repeating it.]

I will miss her. She was friendly. But at least there is good news to temper it, if only slightly.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Good news? [Mikaela's devastated.]

[femmescreamed.livejournal.com]

Oh, aren't you sweet.

It is a relief that I am not alone on this wretched ship, though. [And that that idiot Starscream isn't here, but that's a given. She'll default to Shockwave as her leader for now. Until someone better comes along.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I do try, Slipstream.

You would not be completely alone. You would always have Ironhide. [He'd rather have Starscream around, frankly.]

At the very least, we can push for a formal truce now.

[femmescreamed.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're funny. [Not her. She doesn't care much for the fragger.]

Sounds fun.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

It is a good thing I kept my humor sub-routines, then. [He didn't either. But at least he could get away with hitting Starscream when he was irritating.]

Oh, it should be. I expect at least some resistance to the idea.

[femmescreamed.livejournal.com]

Yes, it makes the stay so pleasant. [That is true.]

Oh, you think?

[tldriving.livejournal.com]

[Blurr's not laughing at you, Shockwave. Totally. He's really not.]

It seems that it would be simple enough to avoid something like that.

And if you're speaking of the Decepticons Blitzwing and Slipstream, we're handling their arrival just fine. [He's not that worried about an unarmed triple-changer and Starscream clone.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

The comms have exceptional aim. And seem to do that when one is recharging.

Are you? I had thought for a few moments that one of your faction was going to blow a gasket over their arrival. He so enjoyed having the number advantage, too. [he's not gloating, he's just towelling off his eye.]

[tldriving.livejournal.com]

I suppose I'll have to take your word for that, but that isn't what I meant. One of the other passengers has already pointed it out, and it was easily verified, that the comms spray their users with water if there is no solid activity for two weeks. I would have thought that you would have figured that out by now.

I did review the logs, you know, and I certainly didn't see or hear anything that could be interpreted as "blowing a gasket," although I will admit that Ironhide is easily irritated which I can't exactly blame him for. [He's not accusing you of gloating, he just thinks you're full of it. 8|]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I realized that quite a while ago, thank you.

Hence why I only thought he might, my good mech. He is irritated for all the wrong reasons, at any rate. [Psh, you know you love it when he's like that O3]

[tldriving.livejournal.com]

Then it would be simple to avoid, would it not? Not that it isn't at least slightly entertaining.

I am not your good mech, and there was nothing to imply that he might from what I could see, I know full well what you were saying so your tone is completely unnecessary. And what would you say are the wrong reasons, exactly? [Not even a little bit, GTFO. >8|]

[ GIGGLES. ]

Jou should really get somezhing for zhat optic, Shocky~ an eyepatch? no, zhen you vouldn't be able to see--

As for jour missing ally, I cannot help you vith zat at ze moment, but I am willing to offer help if jou need it.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Simply water. It did not enter my internal systems so a towel should do.

How sweet of you to offer, Blitzwing. Unfortunately, I am afraid she may have joined a number of passengers whom have disappeared off the ship since my arrival. Terribly unfortunate. She was pleasant company, and one of my few defenders here.

[triplethecrazy.livejournal.com]

Maybe a vun-optic goggle to protect jour optic. It could come in useful; jou do not haff anozzer to spare if somebody manages to take jour optic out.

So passengers disappear as vell as appear...troubling. Zhis is a strange ship.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Your concern is truly touching. I ought invest in optic protection anyway, given the ship's... interesting selection of fauna.

You do not know the half of it, believe me.

[triplethecrazy.livejournal.com]

Vell, I haff already lost vun optic (and replaced it, but zhat is not a matter for discussion right now). I doubt ve haff the materials to repair jours should somevun poke it out. Simply concern for an ally.

Ja, I know only a quarte~! Ahahahahahaaa~!
