re_alignment | [Accidental Video][Transmitting from Vector's Quad][Backdated][Action Welcome!]

((ooc: This occurs the night before the bugs start popping up in Haven. Action is welcome, Drift may wake up after this broadcast))

[The video comes on and at first it's difficult to tell exactly what's happening, except that it's obvious this broadcast wasn't quite intentional. Even in the dim light, the view looks like the one of the rooms at Vector's tower. The communicator, it seems, has been knocked to the floor, giving a slightly askew view of the room's only door.]

[Somewhere off-screen there's some shuffling, footsteps and a nervous voice, bordering on the edge of fear.]

Drift... What is going on? Talk to me... Drift please!

[A form comes into view: it certainly looks like Drift, even in the dark, but does not move like him. The staccato rhythm of his steps is odd, as is the slight downwards cant to the helm and the way the optics--dilated large behind the cyan glass--seem to gaze unseeing. He arrives at the door, simply standing for a moment. When it does not open immediately, a hand raises to the access panel. There's a flash of blurred white and red that fills the screen then, something passing in front of the camera to interpose. Wing, grabbing the wrist, squeezing himself between Drift and the door.]

Where are you going? Talk to me! Drift, Wake up!

[The harsh demand is punctuated by a violent shake. But it's fruitless and Wing looks away with a hissing curse. It's then that he notices the communicator.]

Does anyone know what's going on? [He's trying to stay calm, but there's a part of him that's failing.] Is there maybe a medic out there with a sedative...or something? Maybe some rope? I don't want to hurt him.

What the fuck?! Damn it! I'm on my way.

Vandal!

[Yeah he sounds kind a freaked out.]

He won't respond, I can't snap him out of it!

[Granted, he hasn't tried out right clocking Drift upside the head, but that's not exactly his first or even third choice for options...]

Keep him stable, I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm close by.

Just. Yeah hold on.

He's...not hurt. He was fine, completely fine, a moment ago!

[Wing isn't going to say what they were up to, but suffice it to say the sudden shift was more than a little bit disturbing.]

He keeps trying to...leave. I don't understand!

Okay. Keep him there. Restrain him if you have to.

I'm on my way.

I am. I'll do this all day if I have to.

[Even if Drift is struggling against Wing's hold, thankfully it's not at the swordmech's normal strength and skill level. It should be pretty easy for Vandal to recognize Drift's room.]

I'd come get you but, I'm afraid to leave him.

That's fine. Stay there.

I won't be going anywhere, you can count on that.

And maybe...if you can find some rope?

Yeah I can bring some. I have an idea.

[ Roughly twenty minutes later she comes hobbling-limping into the room.]

[Wing is glad someone does. His arms are going to tired after a while.]

Thank you for coming. [He's a little bit beside himself, so the relief at having some help is clear.]

[ Vandal cracks her knuckles. ]

No problem Wing-o.

Now here's what we're gonna do. I'm going to stasis him. It will slow him down to a crawl in most movements for about thirty seconds.

And then you take this rope and hog-tie him.

[ She sure does have a rope hooked into her toolbelt. She thought this through. ]

Sit on him?

[.........]

[That's so...inelegant. But, simple.]

Would that work?

I don't... know.

[But it wouldn't hurt him. Right?]

It worked other times.

I guess for a while...

[His dignity, likely.]

...other times?

It's better than nothing, isn't it?

...

Yes. Other times.

True.

[Better than bear hugs or elbow pins.]

You've...had to sit on Drift before?

[:|]

I don't know what else would help... I'm not an engineer.

[A beat. He looks exceptionally confused.]

What?

No!

Nor am I. Thankfully Vandal's coming.

[She's know a fancy way out of this situation.]

You haven't? Well then who--? [Wait what are we talking about?]

Good. She's smart... she'll know what to do.

[So much faith in her, this one has.]

It... is a long story.

I hope so too.

[You and Wing both, son.]

Well...I might be sitting here a while. [It's not like Vandal travels fast.]

Hold on, he might be undergoing some sort of break down.

He could be dangerous.

...breakdown? [That doesn't sound good.]

Dangerous how?!

From the looks of it, he could be heading down the same path Blurr went a few months back.

He might attack at any moment.

Blurr...? [He wasn't talking about...the lost pages debacle was he?] What happened to Blurr?

I can handle myself fairly well in hand-to-hand. He um, doesn't seem as coordinated as he normally is.

I like how you had to add more red language and italics to that. xD

It wasn't swear-y enough /)_(\

Vandal definately has a minimum red language requirement. ;3

She kind of does.
