[audio] [the Game has Changed] - Ninth Transmission

[The initial assessment of the situation hadn't taken long. No guards, a strange place - this wasn't the mine he'd made into his home, not in the least - a small winged lizard creeled at him and then vanished into thin air. His shotgun on a table, with a holster. That was handy. The remnants of a life that apparently just left like the organic sitting strewn about.

Then, there was the communication network. He studied it for a good, long while. Someone here bore a face that was and wasn't his. And they were revolting.

Measures needed to be taken.

The Link transmission opens with a sharp electronic pop, and the voice on the other end is Barricade's, but rougher and colder.]

This is the Lord High Protector. Any Decepticons within transmission range - I require a sitrep on the current location and your status. I also require the last known whereabouts of the imposter Barricade.

I should not have to remind you that you ignore these orders at your own peril. By the Allspark, I shall feed you to the Autobots myself if you fail me.

That is all.

[The transmission cuts out immediately after. Anyone in Solus Prime's temple might catch sight of the 'Lord High Protector' in the halls, though. Barricade, though not with the face he was upgraded to... and without legs, wheeling himself through the halls in a battered chair, now-holstered shotgun slung across the back.]
thankyou4myheart: (Surprise)

[Video] Safe to assume Deckard knows "old" Barricade cuz they've done the mods now?

Eh...

[BRB going through other replies on this posting to see if he can learn more about this guy. The comments are telling, though he's not sure what they mean . . . oh, wait, video feed . . . HOLY-!?]

[Okay, Prima told him recently about there being versions of people, alternate realities - it's why he doesn't have the memories of his time here before, it wasn't HIM him but "another him" - so he can only /guess/ that's what's happened here??]

[His expression is harder than it was a moment ago.]


I'm afraid I can't help you. The last time I saw him, he was in the clinic where you are now.

[It's not a lie. But even if he did know where the other Barricade is? H would tell you. That one helped him in a big way - he's not ABOUT to betray that.]

thankyou4myheart: (Really...?)

[Video] OMG so much fail - "He wouldn't*** tell you..." - I'm sure you guessed that but still ugh

[Um . . . right . . . he's not in the habit of staying out of the way of law-breakers and trouble-makers. He's pretty consistently at the head of those sent specifically to get /IN/ the way of them. And that's . . . probably visible on his fact. Or something in the neighborhood - he's not an actor and he's not accustomed to hiding what he's thinking. So.]

I see. From what I understand, he's been here a long time and has a lot of allies here. You might find "ending" him is not so easy. Besides, why are you so convinced that he's an imposter. From what I understand, there are multiple realities and multiple versions of people who can find themselves here. Maybe to him, you're the imposter. Neither of you would really be right, because you're both valid individuals. Just different.

[Audio] PARTY IN THE TYPO CORNER \o/

No. Just apparently more open-minded than you are.
thankyou4myheart: (It's Time)

[Audio] LOL it's fine! At this point, he's expecting it. He gets that this isn't the -

((ooc: - Barricade he'd met before, and that this robot is...well, essentially a criminal/enemy of some kind. So yeah, jerkishness comes with the territory. XD))


It's not a matter of fence-sitting, Barricade. It's a matter of waking up to something outside of your own narrow view of things instead of intentionally blinding yourself to one single path to the ignorance of any other possibilities. There's rarely only one answer to anything.

[If nothing else? The longer he can get this robot to stay here talking to him, the longer he's kept from going out and hurting anyone...]
