 So, it can't just be me.

[ Shepard's not visibly on screen, she's actually off screen, having set the communicator down for the time being, probably changing, or calibrating a scope. That's what it sounds like, metal on metal and metal on rock. ]

You know, noticing maybe a few of you have gone off the deep end?

Because really. When I thought of small organized civilization of organic robots, the first thing that came to mind wasn't murdering each other in public.

Or is this a Cybertronian custom I'm not catching onto?

[ Way to be sarcastic, Shepard. She sounds a little bitter, but that may or may not be something entirely different. Insensitive? Yeah, you betcha. She's not sure whether or not it's the incredible apathy for still being on this foreign planet another day/being grounded, or that it was because wow we have nothing to do but kill each other great job. ]

Either way, I'm having a target practice session. Waste not, want not, and good practice isn't wasteful. Rusty aim is wasteful. Let me know if you want in.

It wants to target practice? Isn't it cute. Thinking it can.

[ Excuse you. Son, you didn't. ]

Come again?

I don't think I heard you the first time around, I thought you said cute. What crossed your wires this morning?

[He bursts out laughing, clapping his hands like an excited child.]

It's so bold!

So many of its kind... being so brave. Speaking back to us, mm... Adorable.

[arnhaid]

If it's a custom, no one ever let me in on it. It's a load of scrap, s'what it is.

[constituent]

So I'm wrong and bots here really are losing their heads?

I'll agree with you; this isn't going to get any of us home.

video;

[arnhaid]

Considerin' we got Megatron thinking he's some kinda peaceful protester, a scrapload more crazies than usual, and Prowl runnin' around not knowing where he is anymore? Yeah, I'm gonna say bots are losing processing power.

Nope. Unless the way back's powered with Grade-A insanity.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Tch. A long list of judgment.

Isn't that just like a human being.

[constituent]

Two dead and the kid's gone home.

If judgement is stating the obvious, then yeah, I'm judging, Mirrors. Next you'll tell me killing each other's what's sending us home.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Who cares. Peace is a lie, anyway.

You never know, monkey. It could.

[rocksatfashion]

It has been a little crazier around here than when I first arrived. I admit that at first I also thought it was some strange robotic custom.

[Hi Shepard I'm a talking unicorn.]

[Video]

[constituent]

[ Hello Rarity, you're a talking unicorn. ]

With all due respect, I was being sarcastic. For the sake of making a point.

[Video]

[rocksatfashion]

Oh my goodness, my apologies! That must have seemed so rash!

I'm not used to being around people like you, so I really try not to assume too much...

[video]

[cec_engineer]

I can't say I know all of those who were changed recently, but most of them do seem to have swung towards the more murderous side of things.

[he pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs]

Practice sounds good, although I can't imagine what good it would do against giant angry robots.

[video]

[constituent]

I didn't think it'd be more than one, present feedback has proven otherwise.

[ She shrugs. ]

Clearly, you've never charged an Atlas. I'll teach you.

Some old vid once told me that one servant can bring down the whole of a kingdom. I try and use that tactic wherever I can.

Re: [video]

[cec_engineer]

Fuck, let's hope that there aren't more who've changed for the worse and decided to be smart and not let us know.

[he shakes his head]

I don't... even know what an Atlas is. [isaac is the best engineer its him]

You can try, but I have next to no military knowledge. Hell, the only reason I even know how to use a gun is because the situation demanded it.

[fun_police]

That is absolutely not a Cybertronian custom. It's the product of a madman.

It's disturbing what so many millenia of war have twisted our kind into.

video

[constituent]

I'm getting the feeling that it didn't take millenia for a handful of you guys just to up and snap.

A madman? Like who?

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Autobots an' Decepticons, fleshy. That's how it goes!

But if ya ain't opposed t'gettin' torn apart, I could have a go with you!

[video]

[constituent]

You know, I'm beginning to think being constantly called a meatsack is derogatory.

[ She shrugs. ]

I wouldn't mind a few rounds myself. Though I'm getting the idea I'd have to be alive and functional to be any kind of help.

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

When you're in a war, yeah, murdering each other is a pretty big "custom." Though it's a miracle you... hu-mans [he's still getting used to you tiny things--again] have made it alive this far into the game.

[video]

[constituent]

I know about war; this isn't war. This is something else entirely with the word war slapped onto it.

[ Go on, flatter her ego some more. ]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Should have been there when Tarn was here.

Trust me, killing is a part of life here.

[constituent]

I keep hearing about this guy, he must've been a real piece of work.

I've already had enough of it, no one's going to get anywhere if they're dead.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

You get used to it. Some days are worse than the next. But with the recent spree of murders lately, I wouldn't mind loading myself. Most of my concern are the human kids. They couldn't defend themselves if the shit finally hit the fan.

[video]

[constituent]

The human kids worry me too, probably the most. The robots can hash it out amongst themselves.

I'm hoping against hope that they'd ever need to learn.

Didn't think you were handy with a gun, doc.
