Audio Transmission - Test Fifteen

[magnushammered]

It 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.

I can tell you everything I found and...saw. [Really, really disturbing shit, man.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

If you are willing. [How to bring up 'do I need to come find you?' though...]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...Why wouldn't I be? [Silly Shockwave.]

...I uh...I can't come to you. I'll get lost.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

So I had heard, over the comms. My apologies for not answering earlier.

Where are you, currently?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Uh...yeah, Got stuck with the flowers.

In my room. Kinda scared to leave.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I am on my way.

[As his door clicks closed behind him.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll uh...see you soon.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Very soon, Mikaela.

[He has gotten good at taking the stairs at a dash.

Knock knock.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[You know, that statement would be creepy coming from anyone else. She scrambles to her feet, then after stumbling into several things, flings the door open.]

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Who's offering to help?

[King has no intention of taking it up but he's bored, so.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Shockwave. Current leader of the Decepticons. Who is asking?

[Hey, he can roll with that. He's always in the mood for conversation!]

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Hannibal King, current leader of the blind nudists.

Decepticons... sounds familiar.

[Conversation is good! King might mess with Shockwave a bit though :/ ]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Should I assume you are similarly blind and nude, or that you lead them by bearing clothes and functioning eyes?

[Hey, that's okay. He's used to getting messed with here. He'll mess back.]

If you have spoken with Ironhide, I'm certain he had a great deal to say about my kind.

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Hey, you've got a point, but they just wouldn't trust someone who wasn't blind and nude also.

[:3]

Ironhide? We've chatted, but the subject hasn't come up. We were more concerned about bitching about the crew.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

It makes a sort of sense.

I suppose Blurr, Ratchet, or Blitzwing might have mentioned my faction, then. Or Mikaela, perhaps.

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

Well, at least they can't see the Hello Kitty tattoo I got in my younger, wilder years.

It may have come up in conversation once or twice. You guys aren't very friendly. [Actually, he's never talked to any of them. But Decepticons sounds like deception, so...]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

My, that would be embarrassing. [He doesn't know what Hello Kitty is O| But he'll play along.]

Now who told you that? We can be perfectly amiable. [They get that all the time. And it's mostly true, but it's the principle of the thing.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

Do you... still have your... frog?

[This is PAINFUL to ask along with everything that's happened.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I do. Why do you ask?

[He had heard Ironhide's predicament over the comms earlier, so he's mustering himself to be receptive. That and Ironhide not insulting him is too intriguing to pass up.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He just doesn't have the energy for a fight right now. Enjoy it while it lasts, Shockwave. Plus, with the lack of mouth filter, he couldn't escape asking if he tried.]

Want... to question them. About the lit--[Stops, having to remind himself her voice is a hallucination.]--the little one.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Little one.

[He only caught so much about that. Buuut if it gives him some minor leverage with Ironhide... and he's interested himself.]

Very well. I will help you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Little Autobot... she was... down--[He's fighting not to say this.]--down below.

[A pause.]

I was... not expecting this. Why are you agreeing?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Were you expecting me to be completely Sparkless, Ironhide? You will find that the Decepticons where I come from are not without a degree of compassion in most cases.

[That, and Ironhide asking for his help (while interesting) is a little Twilight Zone for his tastes.]

Besides, my motives are not entirely unselfish. If she was Cybertronian, I would very much like to learn what I can of her.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[And then his vocals are off and running! ... of course since it's Shockwave, and he normally speaks his mind when it insults the 'Con, it's not much different.]

Yeah... I was. You are traitors and... you killed my leader. I do not care where you are from, you bear their symbol. I expect... nothing else.

She was Autobot! Autobot...! [his vocals cut of, slightly static-y.]

... I only know her name. That... is not enough to honor her...

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Golly, this is much more familiar. Thank Primus.]

I bear the symbol by my own choice, and we are not as your Decepticons. I do hope some day you realize that.

Then for her, you shall have my frog. Where are you?
